The most worth visiting attraction in Luoyang! ! The whole scenic spot is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the grottoes are quite shocking. The brave wisdom and hard work of the ancients are really admirable! It is a pity that many Buddha statues have been destroyed by the Buddha movement, so that their heads have disappeared. I was very sad to see some stolen Buddha statues in the New York metropolis.

Opposite the Xishan Grottoes, the entrance needs to go up the mountain, but it is actually very small and the distance is very short. If you are afraid of climbing the mountain, you can rest assured that there is a temple in the stone cave. From here, you can also look back at the Xishan Grottoes on the roadside, which is very spectacular.

Small attractions, the place is not big, but the grottoes inside are worth seeing. Although during the holiday, there are very few tourists inside. It is very comfortable to spend 40 yuan to ask a tour guide to listen and enjoy slowly. If you don't want to go to popular attractions to see the head during the holidays, this is a very good choice.

Everything About Chinese Culture
After more than an hour's drive, but still five kilometers of mountain dirt road. Occasionally cars roared past, the dust swarmed on the body, and the cockroaches couldn't fall off. The freshly washed clothes were heavy and gray. "This road will not be easy," I thought silently, "even in this wilderness, it is difficult to keep the beauty for a long time." Very close, you can see a pavilion or two from a distance. Surrounded by a barren, quiet, the sound of the Northern Wei has not been able to walk through time to this day. It is hard to imagine how people had picked up such ingenuity and chiseled such exquisite works in this mountain 1,500 years ago. I finally saw the face of the grottoes after turning the last corner and climbing a few steps, but I did not see the magnificent and stunning grottoes that I expected. It is more like ruins, with a lonely and wolverine. On the cave, it is written with a big thinness, but it is not a thin thin skin, but a thin skin, a thin skin. According to the grotto administrator, the Wanfoshan grotto has experienced many destructions and is no longer like it. The gonggu cave of the monastery, only the huge central square tower columns linger, the southern remaining Buddha statues flashing, let people speculate from the sky its original fine carving; The big Buddha in the upper temple nearly five meters away from the big Buddha was left with two arms and a blurred face. The second Buddha was also left on the upper body. Many small Buddha statues in the east cave were missing; there were thousands of small Buddha statues on the rock wall above the lotus cave, but it was blown up in the later opening of the mountain to collect stones. Quarrying, becoming the most color-changing vocabulary in Wanfoshan, no matter the dynasties, it is inevitable to come here to open the mountain to pick up stones, processed into drum stones, lotus pillars, or town tomb beasts and town house stone lions. The faint chisel axes of the sputum echoed in the deep and long valley, a little bit of it nibbled away the original appearance of the Wanfoshan Grottoes. But in the ruins of the scattered land, something attracted my attention. It was a huge number of rare and exquisite "lifo maps", the scale of the unique. The discovery of these patterns almost filled the two dents of the Longmen Grottoes. In addition, the lotus flower algae well on the east side of the double cave in the upper temple was changed to a Taiji map made up of yin and yang fish, which is said to be painted by the late Qing Taoists, which coincides with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and Longmen Guyang Cave. This magical operation of changing and "Buddhist change" is really amazing. There is also a lion next to the bhikuni on the north wall of this cave, with thin bones and a figure similar to a lying cat, which is quite interesting. I heard that I had to walk a few kilometers down the mountain, and the young man who cared for the grotto came out on a motorcycle and insisted on taking me a ride. On the way, I learned that he was a Buddhist, gave up the opportunity to work in the city, and volunteered to stay to protect the treasure trove left by the old ancestors. Not long after, the motorcycle suddenly entered the station, he insisted on accompanying me until the long-distance bus arrived. In this remote mountain, some Buddha statues lacked their heads, some lacked their faces, but piety and kindness were completely preserved. Beauty is indeed accidental, but it does not matter for long, as long as a moment is enough to touch the heart. - - -📍 Detailed address: Dongtou North of Dachaihe Reservoir, Jiyuan City, Henan Province - -⚠️ Regarding epidemic prevention: This location is in the middle of Luoyang and Jiyuan, which belongs to Jiyuan, but the actual test is not displayed on the itinerary code, and it may be just under 4 hours - -🕙 Business hours: The iron gate in front of the grotto is locked, and there is no time limit for shooting through the iron gate--🚌 Traffic Raiders: Luoyang Bus Station takes No. 936 to the crossroads or store station in front of Potou, and then follow the navigation for a few kilometers.

It is worth seeing. At the small stall selling fragrance under the Lingquan Temple Mountain, ask the doorman for the phone number, and you can take it to see the flesh of Wanfogou and Wu Yunqing High Seng. Wanfogou stone carvings are not big, but they are very shocking. There is also a piece of Tallinn that is also locked and cannot be seen. I hope that the repair will end soon and open to the outside world.

Yangtoushan Grottoes are on Yangtou Mountain in the north of Gaoping City. Yangtou Mountain is the main peak of the Shouyang Mountain in the Yumai of Taihang Mountain. It is 1297 meters above sea level. It is named because the mountain is high and steep. Some stone statues and stone towers are distributed on the mountainside, and some stand on the mountain. Some are caves and some are like dragonflies. According to Mr. Zhang Qingjie's "Shanxi Gaoping Yangtou Mountain Grottoes Survey Report", the grottoes can be divided into 10 areas, 22 large caves, more than 80 small Buddhas, and a thousand Buddha monuments.
