It seems that the soil has nourished some vitality. Flowers and plants 🪴 are everywhere, even in unexpected places. If you look at it quietly for a while, it will look like a painting. The designer 🧑‍🎨 must be a person who loves the beauty of nature. I love it, it's beautiful, it's perfect. 4️⃣Food 🍽️: Breakfast 🍳 is buffet style.

||. One of China's four major grottoes, the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, is located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, Henan Province, China. It is situated on the cliffs of Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain on both sides of the Yi River. The grottoes here were mainly excavated over a period of more than 400 years from the Northern Wei to the Northern Song dynasties. To this day, there are still more than 2,100 niches (or wall niches) with over 100,000 Buddha statues and more than 3,600 inscriptions. Most of these are located on the west bank of the Yi River. The excavation of the Longmen Grottoes spanned multiple dynasties, beginning in the Northern Wei period under Emperor Xiaowen, flourishing in the Tang Dynasty, and concluding at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Currently, there are 2,345 existing niches and over 110,000 statues. ✅ About tickets 🎫: Day tickets and night tour tickets (both are 90 per person) ⚠️ PS: Recently, in summer, it is recommended to buy tickets for around 5 PM, so you can see both the daytime and nighttime illuminated scenery.

Specifically, there are Binyang Cave, Wanfo Cave, Lianhua Cave, and Fengxian Temple. When taking photos, be sure to find multiple angles. Use a wide-angle lens for full-body shots, or use a value of around 3 for half-body shots near the railing! ❤️ The lights turn on around 7:20 PM. Wait a little longer until it's completely dark for a better viewing experience. ✅ Travel tips: Shoes: Make sure they are comfortable, preferably sports shoes, as there is quite a bit of walking!

An Afternoon at Longmen Grottoes

The Longmen Grottoes are located near Luoyang city in Henan Province, and are a must-visit attraction when in the area. There are tens of thousands of statues of the Buddha and his disciples here, carved right into the rock face and in the mutliple different caves that are dotted along the limestone cliff face. There are said to be more than 2,000 caves and niches carved into the cliff, and the entire thing stretches over 1km. It's pretty impressive to visit and marvel at all the details. If you want a great view of the long stretch of carvings from afar, hop to the other side of the Yi River - there is a viewing platform where you can see a great panoramic view of the grottoes.

Great place for a day trip

If you’re looking for a place to escape new buildings and skyscrapers, Longmen is a good place for you. It’s doable in a day from Luoyang or Zhengzhou and you can have a nice walk around. Most pictures were taken with my DJI Mini 2.

Longmen Grottoes, must visit site in Luoyang

It is truly a magnificent sight to visit one of China’s best historical site. A UNESCO World heritage site, the Longmen Grottoes 龙门石窟 is rich in thousands of grottoes, countless of Buddhist statues and inscriptions. Separated by Yi River, one can witness thousands of Buddha inscription and statues on both sides of the river. Longmen Grottoes Scenic area is divided into 4 sections: Caves in the Caves on the West Hill, Caves on the East Hill, Xiangshan Temple and Baiyuan (Bai Juyi’s Tomb). The highlights are the caves located in the West hill. One can easily hike up to the cave and the best moment to capture the site is after sunset when the lights are lit-up. To visit the site in the evening, it is recommended to book in advance. I went there in the late afternoon almost to the closing time for daytime visit. I hired a tour guide and she suggested that I continue to stay on until sunset. I realised that many people are doing the same and hanging around the Fengxian temple to capture the evening shots. To go to the west hill and Xiangshan, you will need to cross the bridge to the other side.

Lotus cave. Longmen grottoes, Luoyang City. Well, this cave is very interesting from Buddhism study point of view. Whatever, visitors coming here to make a pictures of very beautiful creation. In the roof on top we can spot the lotus. But another one lotus flower made from stone is located in front of this cave where children like to climb and their parents make pictures. I would like to emphasize this cave was not restored or something. It looks like this after all centuries had been covered by soil until it was excavated.

龙门石窟 aka Long Men Grottoes. The miracle and tourist pearl in Luoyang tourist spot collection. The cultural heritage significance is immense! As the religious place Long Men also plays important role. If look at this place as look at art object, it has nothing equal to its size and beauty among other similar places. Inside are several locations and spots, each one is interesting by itself. The total time to explore this place requires three to four hours.

Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, a sight to be explored, full of Buddhist history displayed in each cave on the mountain. As you climb numerous steps to get to different parts of this monumental mountain, you will get the feeling of faith and the power of unity. The Grottoes were caved to serve as Buddhist temples, and the mountain has withstood decades of storms and it is still standing, as you can see some of the statues have collapse but nonetheless it is still worth exploring.

#longmen Grottoes is a must see. Pictures do it no justice... the scale and size is breathtaking! #happynewyear

The Longmen Grottoes are one of the three major caves in China. The other two are the Datong Yungang Grottoes and the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes! I have been to these three major caves. The Mogao Grottoes are rich in color, beautiful in form, and dreamlike. The Yungang Grottoes are characterized by diverse contents, wide-ranging subjects, and engraving! The Longmen Grottoes are large and large in number, and the history has been more than 400 years! The main exquisite grottoes are concentrated on the Longmen Mountain side, also known as the Xishan Grottoes, which is inferior to the Dongshan Grottoes!

The magical Longmen Grottoes.

"The Longmen Grottoes, with their thousand-year-old Lu She Na, are the most beautiful of the four suburbs of Luoyang, with their mountains and rivers, and Longmen is the first of them all." When night falls, the Longmen Grottoes seem to be enchanted, showing a charming charm that is completely different from the daytime. When you come here, you must experience a night tour to appreciate its unique charm. When you step into the scenic area, the outlines of the grottoes, which are clearly visible during the day, become more mysterious in the shadows of the night. The faint moonlight falls on the ancient stone walls, as if draping them with a veil. As you walk along the winding path, you hear the gentle sound of the wind and the faint chirping of insects, as if telling the story of time. When the lights come on, the whole world is shocked. The exquisitely carved Buddha statues, illuminated by the lights, appear even more solemn and solemn. The compassionate gaze of the Great Buddha of Lu She Na gazes at the passing people through the millennia. The face of the Great Buddha is more clearly outlined by the lights, and every line contains the wisdom and hard work of the ancients, making one marvel at the superb skills of the ancient craftsmen.
