What travelers say:
The scenery is very good, using the voice interpreter, history and humanities combined, bringing different shock (shengshi, technical excellence) and regret (many Buddha heads were destroyed), in order to see the night view at 4 pm, after watching the West District time is too late, missed the East District (18:00) closed. The night view is super beautiful and satisfied!

Longmen Grottoes Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
One of the four major grottoes of China and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Longmen Grottoes are a trove of 1000 years of Buddhist art treasures. Bounded by the Yi River, the caverns are divided into two sections at East Hill and West Hill. The caverns at East Hill contain mostly Tang dynasty (618-907) works, while the caverns at West Hill were cut out during the Northern, Sui, and Tang dynasties and contain the carvings that are most representative of the site. The Buddha and bodhisattva sculptures that inhabit the caverns are carved into an endless variety of poses and expressions of mercy and kindness, while the caves themselves lend a stately and dignified atmosphere. The artistry of these sculptures is truly a priceless inheritance of Buddhist art.

Longmen Grottoes Photos: Trip Moments
Luoyang Longmen Grottoes | One-day tour guide must seeWe go out for a trip, always have to go to Longmen Grottoes, see the Lushena Buddha, blow the wind of Xiangshan Temple, feel the grandeur of the millennium grottoes! Some people say that watching the grottoes is very boring, and they don't want to go a second time after going once. I think that many things can only be understood but not expressed, and it is very interesting to feel the treasures of the millennium stone carving art with your heart. Bai Juyi also said: "The four suburbs of Luodu, the victory of mountains and rivers, Longmen is the first." We must always believe in the eyes of the ancients! The Longmen Grottoes scenic area is composed of four attractions: Xishan Grottoes, Dongshan Grottoes, Xiangshan Temple, and Baiyuan. The area is not small and there are many steps, which is quite tiring! 1⃣️Tickets🎫: Adults 90/person, half price for students, etc., you can search online for 99 yuan tickets, including Longmen Grottoes, Jiuzhou Pool, Yingtianmen, Paradise... 2⃣️ Transportation🚗: There are buses🚌 and taxis from the high-speed rail Longmen station, 10 yuan/person, taxi🚖 about 20. You can check the bus🚌 route by yourself if you start from the city, there are many, and you need to transfer to the bus from the subway🚇 line 2. 3⃣️There are two entrances: the Northwest Visitor Ticket Center and the Northeast Visitor Service Center. Choose the northwest gate to save time! 4⃣️Route: Xishan Grottoes➡️Cross Mingshui Bridge➡️Dongshan Grottoes➡️Xiangshan Temple➡️Baiyuan The Xishan Grottoes are the core of the scenic area, and the main grottoes are in Xishan, a spectacular group of grottoes. The scale of Dongshan Grottoes is not large, there are fewer grottoes, and those who are not interested can not visit, but you can take pictures of the grottoes group on the opposite bank from Dongshan, Lushena Buddha, etc. Walk from Xishan to Dongshan across the Mingshui Bridge, you can also take pictures of the landscape on the opposite bank without going up the mountain, there is a special viewing platform. Xiangshan Temple is on the top of Xiangshan, and you have to go up a steep step, which is not high. There is a villa where Chiang Kai-shek once lived. Personally, I think it can be filmed for photography, but there are not many landscapes. You can go if you have enough time! Baiyuan is the real tomb of Bai Juyi, there is a teahouse inside, if the weather is good, you can sit in the afternoon. Very comfortable! There is nothing else to see, you can ignore it if you are not interested! Next is the question that everyone cares about most, "Will the lights of the Longmen Grottoes be on? When will they be on" For the protection of cultural relics, the Longmen Grottoes have now stopped night tours, but the small Buddha niches use solar lights, so as long as the sun sets in the west (about 6 o'clock), the lights will still turn on automatically! The staff along the way all said that the lights would not be on. I suspect it was their unified rhetoric. Then around 6 o'clock, the staff of the battery car would keep shouting "Get off work, get off work, hurry up and take the car out of the park", in fact, there is no need to hurry, even without a battery car, it only takes 10 minutes to walk out of the scenic area from the Buddha Offering Platform. But what needs to be mentioned here is that the lights are all small Buddha niches. As for whether the Lushena Buddha niche will light up, it depends entirely on the Buddha's fate. Some bloggers say that it will light up around 7 o'clock. Anyway, when I went there, I waited until 7 o'clock and it didn't light up. People also left one after another, so I wish you good luck!TravelBeyondBorders42

An Afternoon at Longmen GrottoesThe 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 tripIf 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.Eva20228
Longmen Grottoes, must visit site in LuoyangIt 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.HF15
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.MaxS4
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.MaxS3
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.Jupply Masemula3

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!Foodie_Traveler.6

The Shock of a Millennium - The Longmen GrottoesThe pinnacle of Chinese stone carving art, dreaming back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty at the Longmen Grottoes|||In the fields around Luoyang, where the landscape is supreme, Longmen stands out. The Longmen Grottoes began to be carved during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and ended in the late Qing Dynasty. They were constructed over more than 1400 years during successive dynasties including the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Ming, and Qing, with over 110,000 statues created. This article represents the representative caves of the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, the niche of the Great Buddha Vairocana, which was the peak period of statue creation in the Longmen Grottoes. Among all the caves at Longmen, about 30% are from the Northern Wei Dynasty, 60% from the Tang Dynasty, and the remaining 10% from other dynasties. The main statue, Vairocana, means 'radiant light that shines everywhere.' Standing 17.14 meters tall, with a head 4 meters high and ears 1.9 meters long, it is famous for its mysterious smile and is known as the 'Eastern Mona Lisa' by foreign tourists. The face is full and round, with wavy hair on top, eyebrows curved like new moons, and a pair of beautiful eyes gently gazing downward, revealing a serene smile, wise and compassionate, inspiring respect without fear. On the day the niche of the Great Buddha Vairocana was completed, Empress Wu Zetian, who donated twenty thousand strings of cash for cosmetics, personally led civil and military officials to participate in the consecration ceremony of Vairocana and worshipped on the east bank of the Yi River with drumming and music. To this day, the drum platform still remains here. Centered around the generous and extraordinary Vairocana, a group of artistic figures with rich emotional texture vividly expresses an ideal realm filled with serene colors. This group of statues reflects the great material and spiritual power of the Tang Dynasty, showcasing the highest achievements of Tang Dynasty sculpture art.SARA WILLIAMS

The scenery is very good, using the voice interpreter, history and humanities combined, bringing different shock (shengshi, technical excellence) and regret (many Buddha heads were destroyed), in order to see the night view at 4 pm, after watching the West District time is too late, missed the East District (18:00) closed. The night view is super beautiful and satisfied!

Night tour is the most valuable choice ．． Choose a private tour guide to explain the story of this millennium history and culture ．． deeply moved by the spirit of the craftsman ．． At night, the breeze blows and sits by the river under the stone carving for a long time.
Night tour Longmen has always been one of the characteristics of the entire Longmen Grottoes, but for some reasons, it stopped for a while. Today, March 30, Longmen Grottoes finally ushered in the first shining night. If you come to Luoyang during the Peony Festival, you want to see the scenery of the Longmen Grottoes at night. There are the following precautions, you can mark! 1. Even if you buy a ticket for the day, you can also visit the Longmen Grottoes at night. So I suggest that friends who want to take pictures of Longmen Grottoes, come in early in the afternoon, first enjoy the Longmen Grottoes during the day, and wait until the sun is about to fall, and the photos taken when it is going to be dark will be particularly blue and beautiful. 2. If you only want to see friends who travel at night, you can enter the scenic spot after 6 o'clock, and the fare is 90 yuan. There is no discount, and there are many attractions that you can't see. It is better to choose the afternoon time to come in. 3. The Longmen Grottoes at night are naturally the most beautiful in the main scenic spot, but don't just punch in the main scenic spot and leave in a hurry, because the river and mountains are taken on the opposite bank of the river, and the overall outline of the Longmen Grottoes is a beautiful picture. 4. Poor friends must pay attention to the latest bus, the last bus of No. 81 is 20:55, so it is recommended that you come in in the afternoon and see more than 8 o'clock to leave, so that you can take pictures of the beauty of day and night and don't worry about not having a bus to take a taxi back to the city. After all, Longmen Grottoes are still some distance from the city.
Located in Luoyang City, Henan Province, Longmen Grottoes is the world's largest and largest stone art treasure house, UNESCO named "the highest peak of Chinese stone art", ranking first of China's major grottoes. It is now a world cultural heritage, a key cultural relics protection unit in the country, and a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. Non-holidays are already crowded. In order to see the night view, we grabbed a profit position on the other side of the Yi River early, and we didn't leave until we saw the scenery on earth.
A good attraction, was set up by the scenic spot artificial obstacles, into the parking lot for 40 minutes, along the road, some people said to give 20 yuan to stop the roadside or take you in, finally entered the scenic parking lot, but also took the battery car, walking by yourself It takes more than 20 minutes, and it takes a lot of road to get to the gate of the scenic spot. As a result, a bunch of people inside became two lanes, and they couldn't move in front, and they didn't know what was going on in the back. There is no staff to maintain order and explain. Management is too sparse
Thanks to the guardian of Xiaobing Longmen Grottoes for his emotional explanation in the morning, let our family of three learn the history, culture, grotto art of Wei and Tang, explain in detail, rich and interesting, feel the charm and history of the grottoes, goodbye Luoyang. Longmen Grottoes, you have to be good.
A family of five came to visit in the snow, cold, but spectacular. Because of the snow road slippery, the ferry car on the other side of the return river stopped. It has passed the service time by borrowing the guide, but the staff called us to guide the direction, and let us not be careful about the road slippery and wait patiently for us.
