AINSLEY HARDY

Compared to the Shaolin Temple, I prefer this incense-filled White Horse Temple

Luoyang White Horse Temple, the first ancient temple in China. It was built in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (68 AD), and has a history of more than 1900 years. It is a world-famous Gaya, and it is the first temple built after Buddhism was introduced to China. The status of the White Horse Temple in the history of Buddhism is extremely important. After Buddhism was introduced to China, it also spread from here to countries such as Korea, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Therefore, the White Horse Temple is also known as the 'Court of the Patriarch' and the 'Place of Shiyuan'. The White Horse Temple scenic area is divided into the main temple of the White Horse Temple and the exotic Buddha Kingdom Hall. There is no such commercialization as the Shaolin Temple here, and there are relatively fewer people. The exotic Buddha Kingdom Hall is even more beautiful, and you can see the differences in Thai, Indian and Burmese architecture and Buddhist incense and Buddhist culture. 🌟After entering the main gate, the service pavilion is on the left. If you want to know more about history, it is better to have a manual explanation. However, the manual explanation will not leave time for worship. If you want to worship one by one, you have to go again. 🌟The manual explanation will not talk about the exotic Buddha Kingdom Hall. The explainer does have a little introduction. 🌟Some temples in the main temple indicate that no photos are allowed, but the exotic Buddha Kingdom Hall does not, so I took a lot of photos. (Please don't blame me if I offend 🙏) 🌟I was amazed at the exquisite and solemn sculptures in the White Horse Temple! The statue of Guanyin is so beautiful! 🌟There is a welcoming kitten 🐱 at the entrance of the Buddha Kingdom Hall, super cute! 🌟There are also many girls in Hanfu taking pictures here, I believe it will be very productive! 🎫Ticket 50R ⏰Tour time 2-3h 💁🏻‍♀️Explanation Manual explanation 50R/half an hour, not expensive; voice guide 20R, unlimited time. When I went, the manual explanation was just over. Look at this string around my neck, it's the explainer. If one person comes here, this is enough.
