Bus-Buses and vans taking loads of visitors to and from Song Shan can be found with relative ease around the Luoyang train station. Bus fare can be bargained down to RMB 15, but be aware that most buses won’t leave until they’ re full.

Be wary of buses that stop at“attractions”like souvenir shops along the way.Once you’ve arrived at the village，touts may try to coax you into paying to watch kung fu demonstrations at the school.
