Brilliant Buddha sculptures overlooking a river, beautiful place with excellent facilities. More

amazing caves with hundreds of thousands of buddhas. A must see if you go to Henan province. More

The sight itself is amazing, although a lot of the statues were destroyed from the 1930's to the culture revolution which is really sad.. We were there early Jan which is cold but not too many tourists and way less hawkers then it could be. More

The Longmen Grottoes was definitely worth the visit to Luoyang, China. My friends and I spent about four hours here.

China is really amazing... More

Great to visit this site, but would urge visitirs to get a good English-speaking guide to fill in the gaps between theBuddhist artworks - unless you are an expert. Have an umbrella or at least a hat and a bottle fo water for summer visits. The heat and sun is almost unbearable. More
