CYNTHIA GRIFFITH

Luoyang, Henan · Longmen Grottoes | The Buddha's light is a thousand-year gaze through the Tang Dynasty

| The Buddha's light is a thousand-year gaze through the Tang Dynasty. Longmen Grottoes, as one of the three famous grottoes in China, has a history of 1️⃣4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ years. Now it has opened night tours, 🌛 After the lights are on in the Longmen Grottoes, the reflection of the Buddha and the light contains the endless wisdom of the ancients, and the millennium of the glorious ancient capital, super shocking! ✔️Tour route: Follow the order of west to east, no backtracking (the entrance and entrance are different, the attractions seen are different), because most of the heavyweight attractions are in the West Mountain, so you must first choose to get off at the Northwest Service Area or Northwest Parking Lot. There are some restaurants and small entertainment venues outside the scenic area, which can be played or not, depending on the time! . ✔️Tour order: Longmen Grottoes Folk Street, West Mountain Grottoes, cross the bridge to the East Mountain Grottoes on the other side of the river, Xiangshan Temple, Jiang Song Villa, Baiyuan. . ✔️Scenic spots: The Lushena Buddha in the West Mountain Grottoes, as long as you see it, it's worth it no matter how tired or hot! ✔️Photo location: It is best to go to the viewing platform of the East Mountain Grottoes to take a panoramic view of the West Mountain Grottoes, which is very spectacular, and at the same time consumes a lot of physical energy! . 💯Suggestions: ➕1. It's best to ask for an explanation. It's not interesting to just look at the Buddha. It's great to listen to the explanation and listen to the historical allusions! ➕2. Try to avoid the peak period of holidays, the experience of people squeezing people is very bad, you must book online a few days in advance! ➕3. It is recommended to wear sports shoes, because they are all steps. The highest Lushena Buddha is 17.14 meters high, the head is 4 meters high, and the ears are 1.9 meters long. It is praised by foreign tourists as the "Eastern Mona Lisa". There are 99 steps in front of it, which is also the highest step! Ticket price: Full price 90, half price 45, children (under 12 years old) and the elderly (over 60 years old) are free! Ticket purchase method: Both online and offline are available! Opening hours: 08:00-19:00, stop admission at 18:00! Play time: If the whole family travels and listens to explanations and takes more photos, it takes half a day. For young people who are in a hurry, two hours is enough. The time arrangement depends on the individual! Transportation: If you depart from the train station, take the 81 bus directly to the Longmen Grottoes bus station, about 90 minutes! You can also choose to take the subway and transfer to the bus. It is most convenient to take the 81. The 81 is the starting station at the train station, and you can find a good position when you get on the bus! If you depart from the high-speed rail station, it takes about 10 minutes by taxi; you can take the 71 bus directly, without transfer, and it takes about 1 hour; you can also choose to take the subway and transfer to the bus, in fact, the time difference is not much!
