Strolling through the Longmen Grottoes at night is like traveling through a thousand-year-old golden realm

The renowned Longmen Grottoes are the foremost of the 'Four Great Grottoes of China,' and a visit to Luoyang would not be complete without seeing them, especially when the lights come on at night—you must go‼️ The Longmen Grottoes are stunningly beautiful to me, especially the moment when the lights are turned on at night. Thousands of Buddha's lights shine, piercing the soul, and whether one has faith or not, they will be healed in an instant. The Lushena Buddha has stood unyielding for thousands of years. With kind eyes and a gentle smile, he looks down upon all beings who come and go. And although I am just a passerby in haste, just quietly observing him seems to allow me to let go of my obsessions and gain a moment of peace and tranquility. 【Tips】 1⃣️It is recommended to enter through the northwest gate, which is closer to the scenic area, and follow the crowd without having to backtrack. 2⃣️Around the Qingming Festival, the lights are turned on at about 6:30 in the evening. If you want to see the night view, there is no need to go too early, about 2 hours in advance is sufficient. 3⃣️Be aware that there is a ticket checkpoint at the Manshui Bridge, and once you exit the checkpoint, you cannot return to the side of the Lushena Buddha.
