1Make the most of your stopover in Luoyang and visit the city highlight in a limited time. This tour take you to Shaolin Temple, Longmen Grottoes. Entrance tickets, private guide, lunch are all inclusive.
2Dusk falls, and the Yi River stretches like a silken ribbon. The grand Longmen Grottoes, bustling by day, shed all noise amid the luminous glow of Illuminated Longmen, transforming into a dreamlike Buddhist realm evoking the glory of the Tang Dynasty. Warm golden lights flicker on one after another. Soft light of 2700K precisely outlines the grotto niches on the cliff faces. Amid light and shadow, the millennia-old stone carvings bear the weight of history and exude serene timeless charm. Stepping into the Western Hill Grottoes, night and lamplight cast a gentle halo over the statues. The Fengxian Temple stands as the highlight of the night tour. Standing 17.14 meters tall, the Grand Vairocana Buddha appears even solemn and compassionate under warm lighting. Its half-lidded eyes hold eternal mercy through ages. The famed Oriental Smile shines tenderly in the glow, with delicate folds of robes distinctly visible, freezing the splendid elegance of the Tang Dynasty in stone.
