More places in Luoyang
Longmen Grottoes
Apart from peonies, the Longmen Grottoes are Luoyang’s second great calling card. You may think Buddha statues are everywhere, but more than 100,000 of them gathered in one place is rare indeed, and these are genuine ancient relics carved between the Eastern Wei and the Northern Song dynasties, a treasure of world significance. Together with the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang and the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, Longmen is counted among China’s three great grotto sites. Its highlight is the Vairocana Buddha in Fengxian Temple, said to have been funded by money Empress Wu Zetian set aside for her cosmetics, and the Buddha’s plump face is said to have been modelled on Wu Zetian’s own features. Climb the long flight of steps, and the Buddha’s serene, awe-inspiring majesty comes into view almost unexpectedly.
Longmen Grottoes, Bai Garden and Xiangshan Temple share a single ticket covering all three sites, priced at ¥90 · 3–5 hours
White Horse Temple
More than 1,900 years ago, a white horse carried Buddhist scriptures and a statue of Shakyamuni to this spot, a journey whose hardships are hard to imagine. The temple was named White Horse Temple in commemoration of the horse’s labour in carrying the scriptures. It was the first temple built by the government after Buddhism entered China, and it has long been revered as the “ancestral court” (zuting) and “source of Buddhism” (shiyuan) of Chinese Buddhism. The temple preserves more than 40 stone steles dating from the Tang dynasty onward, the most precious of which is the Record of the Ancestral Court of White Horse Temple in Luojing, inscribed by the Yuan-dynasty calligrapher Zhao Mengfu. The Great Hall (Daxiong Hall) is the grandest and most splendidly decorated hall in the temple. Here you can see original Yuan-dynasty sculptures of the Three Buddhas, the Two Heavenly Generals and the Eighteen Arhats. About 200 metres south-east of the temple’s mountain gate stands Qiyun Pagoda, one of the few surviving Jin-dynasty architectural monuments in the Central Plains and among the oldest ancient buildings still standing in China.
