Old Heritage Buildings You Shouldn’t Miss in Luoyang 🏯✨

#hellohalloween Luoyang isn’t just about grottoes and temples — it’s a living museum of traditional Chinese architecture. If you love wandering through history, here are some must-see heritage buildings that still preserve the charm of ancient China: --- 🏛 Must-Visit Historical Buildings in Luoyang Lijing Gate (丽景门) – The grand entrance to the ancient city, still standing strong with towering walls and wooden gatehouses. Step through it and you’re instantly transported back to the Song Dynasty. Luoyang Old Town Wooden Houses – Along the narrow streets inside Lijingmen, you’ll find beautifully preserved courtyard homes and timber storefronts, many now functioning as tea houses and craft shops. Guanlin Temple (关林庙) – A striking complex built in memory of General Guan Yu. With its red pillars, stone archways and dragon carvings, it’s a masterpiece of Ming & Qing dynasty craftsmanship. Luoyang Confucius Temple (洛阳文庙) – Lesser known but atmospheric, with ancient stone steles, memorial gates and sweeping roofs typical of Chinese scholarly tradition. White Horse Temple (白马寺) Side Halls – While the main halls are iconic, the older side pavilions and pagoda-style rooftops are true gems for architecture lovers.

Longmen Grottoes

I visited Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang in August to witness the magnificent grottoes. From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the Longmen Grottoes are the product of generations of dedicated effort, carved into the mountain walls, one chisel at a time, a truly breathtaking sight. The Longmen Grottoes stretch along the Yi River, and if you have the opportunity, you can enjoy a different kind of beauty at night. White Horse Temple, Lijing Gate, and Cross Street are also must-see attractions in Longmen, Luoyang. Journeying through the ancient capital, exploring historical sites, and even in the scorching summer heat, the impressions are breathtaking.
