The Longmen Grottoes | A thousand years later, the gaze that remains is one of devotion

The Longmen, also known as Yique, are where the eastern and western mountains face each other, with the Yi River flowing through them. The story of the fish leaping through the Dragon's Gate took place here and has been passed down through the ages. How similar is the appearance of the giant Buddha of Lushena on the western mountain cliff to that of Empress Wu Zetian? The answer has already concluded on the stage of history, and we cannot know. Only the thousand grottoes sculptures reveal the past splendor and also protect the peace and tranquility of the world. 🕙 Business Hours: 08:00-18:00 (Ticket sales stop at 16:30) 🎫 Ticket Price: Adult ticket 90¥/person Concession ticket 45¥/person 📍 Detailed Address: No. 13, Longmen Middle Street, Luolong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province 🚉 Transportation Strategy: To reach the entrance of the scenic area, one must walk in, and there is a sightseeing car available directly to the area, costing 10¥ per trip
