Luoyang
One of China’s ancient capitals, Luoyang brings imperial history, Buddhist art and the monumental Longmen Grottoes into one rewarding stop.
Why visit Luoyang?
Luoyang sits at the heart of early Chinese history and offers a compelling bridge between the imperial capitals of Beijing and Xi’an. Its defining sight is the Longmen Grottoes, where thousands of Buddhist figures were carved into limestone cliffs beside the Yi River. The city also opens the way to White Horse Temple and nearby Dengfeng’s Shaolin heritage, making Luoyang an ideal base for travelers interested in archaeology, religion and the roots of Chinese civilization.
