Songshan Shaolin Scenic

M22***50

Parking is convenient, if you only play along Shaolin Temple, you can not take a sightseeing car. The Zhaidian restaurant next to Shaolin Temple is OK, but the package form, per capita consumption is 50 yuan



Longmen Grottoes

M36***83

The service is very good, the price is reasonable, and the journey is comfortable. Longmen Grottoes are so shocking! The millennium Buddha statue is beautifully carved, the Lushena Buddha is solemn and kind, surrounded by Yihe Bibo, the history and nature are perfectly integrated, and the tour experience is great!

Songshan Scenic Area

TTDD

If the Shaolin cableway goes up to Sanhuangzhai, it is estimated that it takes 5 hours to go back and forth, which is too expensive. I feel that the commercialization of Shaolin Temple is heavier now, and there is less quiet atmosphere. Shaolin Kung Fu performance is OK, there are many people on weekdays.

Sui And Tang Dynasties Luoyang City Yingtian Gate Site

鱼尘紫风

Commonly known as Wufeng Building, it is the highest-standard city gate in ancient China, and it is known as the "first gate in the world". The Yingtianmen site is divided into two parts: the first part is a protective cover built on the site, the base is a square base of 120 meters long, 60 meters wide and9.2 meters high. The night view is good.

White Horse Temple

M43***18

‌ Baima Temple Attraction Review ‌‌ Geographical and Historical Status ‌ Baima Temple is located in Luoyang City, Henan Province, built in Yongping, East Han Dynasty, 11 years (68 AD). It is the first temple built by the official after the introduction of Buddhism into China. It is known as "China's first ancient temple". The historical value and cultural significance of the Buddhist history are self-evident, and it is an important window to understand the origin of Buddhist culture in China. ‌ Attraction highlights and characteristics ‌‌ Ancient buildings ‌ Ancient buildings on the central axis of the temples, the Temple of the Tenno, the Great Buddha, and the Great Xiong Palace are well preserved, mostly rebuilt during the Yuan, Ming and Qing periods, simple and solemn, showing the elegant style of Chinese Buddhist architecture. Buddhist statues, murals and monuments in the temple are of great artistic value, especially the Yuan Dynasty Jiayu dry paint statues of the Daxiong Palace, which are exquisitely crafted and are the treasures of the Zhensi Temple. ‌ International Buddha Palace ‌ The newly built "International Buddha Palace" in recent years is a major feature of Baima Temple, which brings together Indian, Thai and Myanmar style Buddhist temples, with a strong exotic style. The golden spires of the Thai-style Golden Buddha Temple, the ornate sculptures of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar, and the imitation of the Sangchi Tower in India provide visitors with a unique opportunity to experience the multi-country Buddhist culture in a one-stop shop. ‌ Qiyun Tower Courtyard ‌ Qiyun Tower (also known as Sakya Sheli Tower) is located on the southeast side of Baima Temple. It was built in the Jin Dynasty and is one of the earlier secret brick towers in China. The tower is quiet and suitable for meditation. The tower overlooks the panoramic view of the temple. ‌ Buddhist cultural atmosphere ‌ As a thousand-year-old temple, the White Horse Temple is fragrant but the atmosphere is quiet. Tourists can participate in activities such as chanting and praying for blessings. The ancient trees in the temple are towering, the dusk drum and the morning bell are full of Zen, suitable for retreating from the world. ‌ Surrounding and supporting ‌‌ Convenient transportation ‌: It takes about 1 hour to take the bus (56th, 58th, etc.) from Luoyang City, and it is convenient to park by car. ‌ Recommended ‌: You can plan a day trip to Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, Guanlin, Luoyang Museum and other attractions to experience the cultural heritage of Luoyang's "13th Dynasty Ancient Capital". ‌ Surrounding services ‌: There are Suzhai Hall and Tea Room outside the scenic spot, and explanation services are provided in the temple (it is recommended to rent a guide or listen to the explanation with a group to understand the history in depth). ‌ Notes ‌‌ Ticket ‌: The full ticket is 75 yuan (including the International Buddha Palace), cost-effective. ‌ Tour time ‌: It is recommended to arrange 2-3 hours, the spring and autumn climate is pleasant, and you need to pay attention to sun protection in summer. ‌ Cultural respect ‌: The monastery is a religious place, you need to abide by etiquette, do not make loud noises, please ask for permission before shooting the Buddha statue. ‌ Summarize ‌ Baima Temple is not only a "living fossil" of Chinese Buddhism, but also shows the multi-fusion of Buddhist culture through the international Buddhist temple, suitable for historical lovers, Buddhist believers and ordinary tourists. Its unique charm of the blend of ancient and modern times is unique among many monuments in Luoyang. It is recommended to go early in the morning or evening to avoid the flow of people and feel the tranquility and solemnity of the millennium ancient temple. ‌ rating ‌: ★★★★☆ (cultural heritage is deep, but some newly built areas are slightly commercialized)

Sanhuang Village

刻骨远

The scenery is still very good, but the setting of the scenic spot is not very reasonable. After going up from the Shaolin cableway, the whole journey can be reached for at least 3 hours to the entrance of Sanhuangzhai Haohanpo. They are all very steep steps. The physical strength requirements are very large. It is not recommended to walk the whole journey. Take a walk to see the scenery and return to the original road from the Shaolin cableway down the mountain. Otherwise, the legs will hurt for 3 days.

Shaolin Zen Music Ritual

300***49

It is highly recommended. It not only embodies the magical martial arts of Zen Shaolin, but also combines the natural scenery with Zen and the harmonious coexistence of people's lives. In the end, the moon rises slowly and becomes a crescent shape, and then the lanterns gather and the monks visit the ceremony. The scene is quite shocking. Zen is everywhere and life is everywhere. It is a feast of vision, sound and elegant aesthetics.

Luoyi Ancient City

Cathy刘艳

This is a place I've always wanted to visit. Maybe I had too high expectations. I also went there during the day and missed the lighting effects and performances at night, so the experience was average. There is a small shop selling childhood memories. The owner played cassettes on a tape recorder. It felt like I was back in middle school. I was deeply impressed. But I took a lot of beautiful photos, so it was worth it.

China National Flower Garden

云端5341

The peony flowering period outside the National Garden has basically passed, and only green leaves and bald flowers can be seen. At present, only Mayfang still has flowers, because in the greenhouse, the flowers are not bad. There are not many varieties, but many people. After leaving the park, I heard that the online car-hailing driver said that the International Peony Garden was higher due to the terrain. Outside the city, the flowers bloomed late, and now the flowers bloomed well. Shooting time: April 19, 2025

Must-play route recommendation 🚀 Classic Sunset Line (17:00-19:00 Best): 1. Directly rush to the 99-story Yuan Universe Exhibition Area, a photo mecca full of future sense 📸 2nd and 4th floor panoramic painting performance must-see! It is recommended to choose 18:00, the light and shadow effect is absolutely the instrument 3, return to the top floor to play in the cloud walk (first take the glass inner circle to practice courage, Challenge the outer ring suspension trail) 😜 4, and finally sit on the high-altitude slide with a speed of 20 seconds, and the adrenaline surges! 😿 Extreme Challenge Line (suitable for bold players): 1. The 99-story robotic arm project warms up first (remember to pose for free video) ✌ 2. Directly unlock the cloud and walk in the inner and outer double circles (the outer circle armrest only goes to the waist and legs soft warning!) 🤦‍♀️ 3. High-altitude slide + self-funded double storm hammer, Overlooking Zhengzhou, the "minimal model" 👊
