White Horse Temple | Must-visit in Luoyang

| Must-visit in Luoyang. The only way to visit White Horse Temple during holidays is to get up early! Catch the first entry. The crowd is manageable. By 7:40, several tour groups have already entered, and there are not many individual visitors. There are a few pitfalls I encountered, but reviewing them now, I hope others can avoid them. 🅿️ About one kilometer from the scenic area, there are small red flags 🚩 along the roadside summoning you to park. You can continue driving in. I chose a parking lot about 700 meters from the 'White Horse Temple Visitor Center Parking Lot,' near a school. It's not far from the scenic area, and there's an intersection convenient for turning back to the city later. The uniform price is 10 yuan. If you arrive early, definitely go to the official parking lot❗ There are enough spots❗ If you arrive late, you can only follow the small red flags. About incense It's sold along the roadside, and prices vary. If you buy from the roadside, haggle hard. My friend was tricked. Initially, they said one yuan for incense, but when it came time to pay, they calculated one yuan per stick. I suggest negotiating a fixed price of x yuan per bundle. About the entrance location ➡️ Do not enter the snack street next to the visitor center parking lot. That place is exit-only. Walk along the main road until you see a large square; that's the real entrance. About the tour route My choice is the main entrance - Great Buddha Hall - Reception Hall - Cool Terrace - turn left to Thailand and India - Visitor Center, then turn left straight to Di Renjie’s Tomb - Qiyun Pagoda - return to the exit.
