Luoyang Longmen Grottoes | One-day tour guide must see
We 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!
The tour guide of the elephant cultural tourism Xiaoliang, very excellent, the explanation is particularly meticulous, recommended, the introduction of the attractions is very professional, hahahahahahahahahahaha, this trip to Longmen likes ✔
The place that has been my favorite, Trip.com set the tickets and explanations, the tour guide Xiaoliang explained professionally, humorous, and took the initiative to help me take pictures. The tourist experience is particularly good. Next time you have enough time, you must go to the Buddha Terrace opposite Yihe to see it.
Brother Jiang, the tour guide for elephant tourism, has a strong ability to explain, the details are in place, the smile is like sunshine, the service is good and good, the enthusiasm and courtesy are not bad, the explanation content is clear and easy to understand, and we have left a good impression. In short, it is really lucky to meet such a guide, with such a full service, the fun of travel naturally multiplies.
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.
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.
As a world cultural heritage, Longmen Grottoes are one of the four major grottoes in China, and their historical, cultural, artistic and other values will no longer be discussed here. The topless gantry immersion experience is more general, it is an animation of 3D, which is displayed with the help of dome-style indoor buildings, but this form of expression was quite good when it was just emerging in the first country.
