Longmen Grottoes

I have been to Europe several times. The scenery is beautiful and the churches are solemn, but they cannot evoke resonance in my inner soul. We like Chinese culture. Our family has seen the most beautiful summer and autumn in Jiangnan (Suzhou and Hangzhou). We like living by the West Lake and enjoying the slow brewing of time and tea. We also admired the majestic Forbidden City and felt sad for the protagonists of each story in the deep palace. We climbed the Great Wall together and challenged our physical limits to become a hero..... This trip created more first-time experiences. We saw the first Longmen Grottoes in China and the underground army of Qin Shihuang. Encouraged by the children, while we still have physical strength, we should work hard to travel around the country, exile ourselves in the vast world, see the beauty of famous mountains and lakes, and the ancient relics in the torrent of history, so that our life on earth will not be in vain..... #Luoyang~~~ A city called Luoyang is half of the history of China. Paper is in great demand in Luoyang, the city gates stand in the snow, the six kingdoms are appointed as prime ministers, and they compete for the throne of the Central Plains... Walking in the ancient city of 13 dynasties, you can always encounter a historical allusion. This is the charm of Luoyang #Longmen Grottoes are nestled on the banks of the Yi River. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. It began when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to carve stones to build Buddha statues until the Song Dynasty. There are a total of 110,000 cave Buddha statues of all sizes in China, and here account for 15,000 of them, making it the first of the three major grottoes in China! Ps. Vairocana Buddha: Built by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, it was shaped in the image of Wu Zetian and was made in the fourth year of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. The total height is 17.14 meters. The Sanskrit "Vairocana Buddha" means that the light shines everywhere and the brilliance is universal~~~ (after the lights are turned on at 7:20 p.m., it presents a different level of mystery and solemnity) 1300 years ago, was there anyone like me standing in front of him and looking up at him, feeling the greatness of time, blending into the long river of time in an instant, a thousand years of history condensed into a moment, prosperity fades away and awe remains forever, you are my moment, I am your thousand years #Baiyuan is the tomb of Bai Juyi: Bai Juyi often lived in Longmen Grottoes in his later years, especially I like this place, and I will ask to be buried here before I die #Luoyi Ancient City: There are many beautiful young ladies wearing Hanfu, this is an ancient city preserved from the Jin and Yuan Dynasties #Must-eat Luoyang Water Banquet has two meanings: one is that all hot dishes have soup - soup soup water water; the other is that after eating a hot dish of Luoyang Water Banquet, another one will be served, constantly updated like running water #Must-eat Flower Cake: It is flavored with various flowers (it is an upgraded version of the sun cake + with various flower fragrances). After eating, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth for a long time. It is really an amazing pastry!
