Luoyang, Henan – Longmen caves

Sunday, August 9, 2015

In the late afternoon, we went to the Longmen caves, a UNESCO world heritage site with amazing Buddhist’s rock carvings.  The carvings were created in the rock on the both sides of the river by the Wei dynasty over 200 years dating from around 500 AD. There are more than 100,000 statues of Buddha, but many were taken away over the centuries.




Looking for zen.










We took an overnight sleeper train that took us all the way from Luoyang to Nanjing, and then continued the next day with high-speed train to Huangshan.
