Want to go to Xi'an in early. Do not know why. Xi'an right I always had a strange appeal. Therefore, the idea of a walk to Xi'an has always been firmly rooted in my mind, but do not want to tour groups to go, feeling as if a flock of sheep were rushing. The fortunate enough to find partners to go to Xi'an.
For this go to Xi'an, I am half a month ahead of schedule on the Internet is a lot of information. Made a more detailed arrangements and plans. The first is round-trip ticket and accommodation problems.
In the arrangements to the train, I found a place very worth a go - Luoyang. Accommodation, youth hostel, I inadvertently thought was very fortunate youth hostel in Xi'an. So that arrangements for round-trip tickets and accommodations, the National 10.1 Luoyang, Xi'an tour officially began.
10.2 at 11 am train station on time and arrived in Luoyang. Luoyang, in China's history is also a very important city, as "the ancient capital of nine dynasties" in Luoyang was once a very glorious past. Luoyang tour's first stop of course, is the famous one of the world's cultural heritage, "Longmen Grottoes." (In the southern outskirts of Luoyang, 12 kilometers, there are two relatively written for the Castle Peak, the east is the Fragrant Hills, the west is the Longmen Shan, leisurely Iraqi water slowly flows between two mountains, far looked like a natural door Que. Ancient Chinese emperors often comes here to worship Asaka, so future generations to referred to here as "Dragon." treasure house of grotto art in ancient China, one of the three Longmen Grottoes in Iraq will be clouds of water on both sides of the cliff.) Longmen Grottoes are the only tourist did not discount the attractions of the students. Into the Longmen Grottoes, dug in the rocks on the cliff into the large and small shrines to my eyes and India, the Buddhist shrines are made of with the rocks chiseled. Buddha's demeanor varied with the different characteristics of each period for the study of China's ancient history, Buddhism, painting, sculpture, costumes, music and dance, calligraphy and architecture provide a great deal of valuable information. As the story of Buddhism do not quite understand, we can only cursory tour of a bit, but still admire the ancients not to their craft. But unfortunately the Longmen Grottoes damage is very serious, when you see the empty shrines, and no portrait of the Buddha, I was very uncomfortable on the heart. China's precious cultural heritage by foreign powers in respect of such claimed. I think if that is the desert of Dunhuang Grottoes dancers, then the Longmen Grottoes is a lady among the mountains.
Due to the time of the short notice, in visiting the Longmen Grottoes, after we have the rush of the "China's first temples," said the White Horse Temple. According to legend, Han Yong Ping eleven years (AD 68), the Han Dynasty to Fanseng to return to the White Horse pack contains Buddhist statues in Luoyang, in commemoration of the White Horse pack through the labor, so named White Horse Temple. Buddhism into China after the first temple built by the Guan Fu Therefore, Chinese Buddhism has always been hailed as the "birthplace" and "release the source." In the White Horse Temple is the first thing to do, and the White Horse Temple, the statue in front of a photo pull. Rather, the white horse Tuozhao scriptures and statues from the Tianzhu back to Luoyang, where hardship is self-applause. White Horse Temple and other temples in the structure there is no much difference, but the scale is large, but visitors seem to be more that just does not clean and tranquility of a Buddhist, and in good faith of the kowtow worship, we will catch up back to Luoyang Train Station, take the train to Xi'an. Oh, Luoyang Shanghai cheaper than a lot of orange before 0.9 yuan a catty, bought two tastes OK.
Due to the time of the rush could not be a pity to Shaolin Temple Bar.
