A breathtaking cultural treasure near Luoyang, the Longmen Grottoes showcase over 100,000 Buddha statues carved into limestone cliffs along the Yi River. The scale and detail of these carvings are mind-blowing, especially the towering Vairocana Buddha. You’ll walk along stone paths and bridges with scenic river views while exploring grottoes filled with delicate carvings, inscriptions, and ancient art.
The site is well preserved and offers a peaceful spiritual atmosphere. Try to go early in the morning or at sunset for the best lighting for photos. English signs help navigate the site, and there are golf carts for convenience. Wear comfortable shoes — there’s a lot of walking and stairs.
🎫 Entry Fee: Around ¥90 CNY (check seasonal changes)
📸 Tip: Capture the Buddha statues from across the river for the full cliff view.
🕰️ Duration: 2–3 hours
📍 Location: Luoyang, Henan Province
