In the city of Luoyang, located in the province of Henan, you will find the grottoes housing more than 100.000 Buddhas. They all vary in size. So does the caves and niches. Luoyang has been the cpaital of several dynasties up until the 10th century A.D. Once it was the centre of China and at that time the city had hundreds of Buddhist temples. In my opinion, most places of interessert are found in the outskirts. I spend three days in Luoyang and most of my time was spend visiting temples. Two of my absolute favourites are The White Horse Temple and the Gualin Temple. Also the Shaolin is worth av visit. But the Longmen Grottoes are the most impressive place we went to.
It was first when we walked on the opposite side of the river that we actually realised how big this grotto and the statues are. A truly spectacular place.

Hey! What's going on with your pins on Pinmapple? Your pin location for this post is miles away from its actual location. Likewise for your previous Luoyang post. The purpose of Pinmapple is to accurately pin a location to share with others, and not to randomly select a nearby location
Hi. I just chose the city, because all the temples are around the city and I don't remember the name of the exact place either.. Just so I atleast get my travel on my own profile map for future pleasure..
You have the name of the place which you can easily search in pinmapple to get the correct location. The objective of Pinmapple is for travellers to create their own travel map, and to share with other travellers. Pinning a post at the wrong location defeats the purpose. There was a prolific abuser who spam pinned 100s of posts at exactly the same location previously, that was not a good idea and totally dis
respects Pinmapple
I see what you mean and you have a point. Just haven't thought of searching the name of the temple to find the name of the distict/area.
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
