Driver, please take me to Longmen Grottoes (Northwest Visitor Center).
📍 Luolong District (Yi River Banks)One of China's most supreme Buddhist rock-cut sanctuaries. Over 100,000 statues carved into sheer limestone cliffs along the Yi River, crowned by the colossal 17-meter Vairocana Buddha said to mirror Empress Wu Zetian.
📍 Luolong / Baimasi TownFounded in 68 AD during the Eastern Han Dynasty, White Horse Temple is revered as the cradle of Chinese Buddhism. Features tranquil ancient courtyards alongside unique Thai, Indian, and Burmese temple complexes.
📍 Old City (Zhongzhou East Road / Zhenbutong)A 1,300-year-old culinary tradition dating back to Tang Empress Wu Zetian. All 24 dishes feature silky broths and soups served consecutively like flowing water, centered on Peony Swallow Dish (radish ribbons mimicking bird's nest).
📍 Citywide (Nanguan / Xigong / Old Town)Luoyang's deep soul: local residents greet each other asking if they drank soup today. Simmered overnight with beef bones and medicinal herbs, served with shredded green onions and torn crusty flatbread.
