Auto winding mountain road in the rugged Mercedes-Benz, the night is getting stronger. I sat in the crowded compartment, with the occasional projection headlights vaguely recognize the fleeting scenery outside the window, I lamented that the Dengfeng, Luoyang Jie Wei a famous tourist city, attracts a large number of foreign tourists come to visit, its tourism receipts should be a lot of money, why the local government not to build inter-city traffic arteries that were intact, so that the tourism industry to better develop, at least leave a better impression on foreign guests.
Two hours later, we finally arrived at Luoyang Railway Station, looking to reach of city streets is better than that seen in Zhengzhou, the bustling Nakasu a busy road, a bustling scene. Luoyang, there have been more than 10 feudal dynasties in this their capital, regardless of location or a logical historical significance has an important position. Luoyang peony is Guanjue world, has been known since the Tang Dynasty Unfortunately, not every bloom had no chance to see the color of Korea. A good place to stay settled, we decided to try "real different" famous Liushui Xi, point like this store a few signature dishes: Yan Cai, boil goods, meat and clyster package, taste pretty good, especially those clyster Package , delicious and inexpensive, and we get enough again to the next one cage, a hearty meal and go.
Morning used up the supply of hotel buffet, we depart with the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Shanxi Datong Yungang Grottoes and said China Longmen Grottoes, one of the three caves. Was built in the Northern Wei period, the ancient capital of Luoyang, Longmen Grottoes is located on the cliff south of the Western Hills, the existing more than 2,000 caves, 10 thousand Buddha statues, is a large stone Museum of Art.
Although rained constantly non-stop, visitors still flocked to lovers in the slightest. Not yet entered the cave door, much to see the magnificent Dragon Gate bridge hung across Iraq's water on both sides of the shore weeping willows Yiyi, flowers trees, set off across the Xiangshan Temple, a pair of trees, scenic.
Caves of the first half of mostly smaller caves and statues, unfortunately, a lot of Buddha statues have been man-made destruction, lack of head Brokeback, and people are deeply sorry. With the public visitors to the rain before the line, and from time to time to hear their explanation guides. Then visit the Binyang three holes, poke holes, old Longdong, Lianhua Dong and other places inside the Buddha preserved relatively intact, large scale, carving and more see the fine, some of the cave wall in a number of exquisite carved reliefs is also accompanied by painted sculptures. When the number of the most magnificent Longmen Fengxian Temple, and a very grand scale, countless statues of various sizes air of grace, silently witnessed the different dynasties, in the thousands of wind and frost is still leisurely look down under the baptism of sentient beings.
A few years ago I traveled to Shanxi Datong Yungang Grottoes, two by comparing the number of Yungang Buddhist caves no more than a goal, but the momentum of the Buddha Longmen larger than the size, it is each has its advantages. The two places of the ancient stone carvings are a profound expression of our people already have superior technology and exquisite carvings painted craft, but also confirmed there had been a flourishing Buddhist culture and prosperity, very worth seeing.
Step over diffuse water bridge, we take the opportunity to tour the caves Dongshan District, where Buddhist caves of course, not as the Western Hills is located in Mid-Levels Xiangshan Temple, elegant quiet compared to yesterday, and the Shaolin Temple Zhong Yuemiao seen such large-scale construction, of course, can only be called Xiaojiabiyu of. Si Wai Park, not far from is white - the famous Tang Dynasty poet, a cemetery, although I liked the lay of the poems Fragrant Hills, but because we have to hurry and did not pay tribute his or her entry.
Longmen to swim later, we rushed to the outskirts of the White Horse Temple, Si Wai's shops are filled with all kinds of crafts, so I am most interested in when the number of those colorful and fine workmanship of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, when we went to little visitors, Teramae vast gardens bathed by the autumn after the green grass and cypress circulated a fresh flavor, the new building of the stone balustrades ring with a Chi Qingshui, reflected upside-painting buildings next to the carved beams, Paint a nice poem. Within the letter into a sea of sapphire cypress forest, trees such as covers, see the quiet in the noise, but also called for a leisurely tour of the land. Then finally saw the famous white horse, due to old age, experience wind and sun, white horse over the years who have been traces of it in the Han Dynasty Is this the pack from the Western Region through the back of the White Horse statue no added elegant. White Horse Temple he took a grand scale, but it is because of the Central Plains after the introduction of Buddhism from the Tianzhu the first temple built by the Crown that there was "China's first temples," said to a long history of well-known.
We leave the White Horse sihou rush back to the hotel check-out and quickly boarded the coach to continue our third westbound destinations - the ancient capital of Chang'an.
