One of the four major grottoes of China and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Longmen Grottoes are a trove of 1000 years of Buddhist art treasures. Bounded by the Yi River, the caverns are divided into two sections at East Hill and West Hill. The caverns at East Hill contain mostly Tang dynasty (618-907) works, while the caverns at West Hill were cut out during the Northern, Sui, and Tang dynasties and contain the carvings that are most representative of the site. The Buddha and bodhisattva sculptures that inhabit the caverns are carved into an endless variety of poses and expressions of mercy and kindness, while the caves themselves lend a stately and dignified atmosphere. The artistry of these sculptures is truly a priceless inheritance of Buddhist art.
Reviews from Real Guests:
HF: It’s truly mesmerising sight! A UNESCO World Heritage site, Longmen Grottoes houses a large collection of stone carving of Buddhas during the northern Wei and Tang dynasties. There are more than 2,000 grottoes, 100,000 Buddhist statues and 2,800 inscriptions are carved on the Mount Longmen. Located on both sides of the Yi River, the Longmen Grottoes truly signify the ancient architecture of stone art. The statues ranging from several centimetres to over 17 metres in height. The area is divided into 5 sections – Wanfo cave, Guyang cave, Lianhua cave, Binyang cave and Fengxian temple. The largest stone sculpture, Vairocana Buddha is housed in the Fengxian temple. On the other side of the Yi river, is Xiang Shan located in the eastern hill of Longmen. A remarkable time to capture the best shot is during sunset with the lights are lit up.
Trip.com User: Stunning! If you are in Zhengzhou, then a visit to the grottoes is a must. Note, there are plenty of slippery stone stairs when it’s wet, so wear appropriate shoes. Tip: purchasing an entry ticket does not include a ride on the electronic carts that ferry people back and forth. A ticket for this costs RMB10 at the time of writing, or you can walk the 1.7km - not recommended in Summer. Also, the RMB10 is one-way. If you want to return on the cart you’ll need to pay another ¥10.

Ramdan993: Established in AD 68 of the Eastern Han Dynasty, White Horse Temple is the first Buddhist temple in China with over 1900 years history.

K-TravelMuse: This Buddhist temple is a very special place. I enjoyed the Chinese Buddhist exhibits, structures and the silent tea house. I will skip the new Indian and Thai section completely when I return. That section takes away from the charm and air of the temple-- a complete waste of space and resources. It consists of some foreign styled temples that are completely devoid of a sense of history, culture and overall meaning. The Chinese temples and pagoda are very special. I will return.
