Luoyang
One of the earliest capitals of China, Luoyang has been called home by 13 different Dynasties, from as early as AD25. Whilst it now has a population of less than 1.5 million and is a ghost of its former self, the city is most famous for its association with the Longmen Grottoes.
One of China’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Longmen Grottoes are famous for being one of the last remaining examples of Buddhist rock carving in China. Taking over 200 years to complete, the 10,000 statues and images of Buddha are spread over nearly a kilometre. Located 15kms south of Luoyang, these grottoes have to be seen to be believed.
