Longmen Grottoes

I can't remember how many times I came to Longmen Grottoes, but every time I came to Longmen Grottoes, I would be attracted by his shock, and I would be frightened by the flow of people in Longmen Grottoes. In the past few years, Longmen Grottoes have gradually become a red attraction. It is the attraction that everyone must punch in when they come to Luoyang, so it is recommended that you either come to Longmen Grottoes early in the morning or come to Longmen Grottoes later. This can avoid the flow of people, and at the same time you can feel the night view of Longmen Grottoes.

As the world's most statuette and largest stone art treasure house, UNESCO has been rated as the "highest peak of Chinese stone art", ranking first of China's major grottoes, it is worth a visit. As the most representative work of the grotto, Lushena Buddha has to feel the high level of ancient Chinese stone carving art. The entire grotto is beautifully carved and the atmosphere is magnificent. From Luoyang City, to Longmen Grottoes, the transportation is also convenient. Whether it is a friend's trip or a family trip, it is very good.

Sure enough, you still have to go to the scene to deeply feel the shock of history. This millennium grotto has been silently telling its story. It reminds us that the heavyness of history requires us to feel it with our heart, and the inheritance of culture needs us to protect it with actions.

No comparison, no harm! I have seen Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, and I will comment on Longmen Grottoes again. The price is super high! In addition to the grottoes themselves, there are two small attractions such as Xiangshan Temple and Baijuyi Tomb. The price is only one hundred and one, and the scenery itself is not bad! In turn, the price of two hundred and thirty-eight caves, only eight caves can be seen, and other caves are locked! And the additions are a waste of time. They are all Buddhist caves, the two are very different from the other world!
