Rebutting the idea that the White Horse Temple isn't worth visiting!

Rebutting the idea that the White Horse Temple isn't worth visiting! Tickets to the White Horse Temple are only CNY 35, with students enjoying a half-price discount (reservations required). 🕰️Opening hours: 07:00 to 17:00. As one of the earliest Buddhist temples in China, the White Horse Temple is known as the "Number One Ancient Temple in China." Here, you'll find not only traditional Chinese architecture but also Buddhist architectural styles from India, Thailand, and Myanmar, allowing you to experience the charm of diverse Buddhist cultures all in one place. 🧭Recommended route: Start from the main gate and visit the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, the Thousand Buddha Hall, the Hall of the Western Paradise, and the Qingliang Terrace in turn. Don't forget to visit other attractions such as the Thai Buddhist Temple, the Myanmar Buddhist Temple, the Indian Buddhist Temple, the Qiyun Pagoda, and the Tomb of Di Renjie. 🏯The main buildings are arranged along the central axis, allowing visitors to experience the solemnity and sacredness of Buddhism. The Qiyun Pagoda, in particular, although not within the main complex, holds significant cultural value and is not to be missed. 🌍The International Buddhist Temple area brings together the Buddhist architectural styles of China, India, Thailand, and Myanmar, making you feel as if you've traveled to different countries. 🕒The entire visit takes approximately two hours. Please note: Dress modestly and avoid revealing clothing within the temple; maintain a quiet atmosphere and refrain from loud conversations or chasing; be respectful of Buddhist culture. After entering the temple, free incense is available on the right-hand side, so remember to pick some up! 🚌Various transportation options are available: Take bus No. 56, 58, or 87 from Luoyang Railway Station, and you'll arrive in about 1.5 hours. Taxis are also convenient, taking about 32 minutes from the railway station (approx. 19 km) and about 38 minutes from Luoyang Longmen Station (approx. 25 km). 🛍️Outside the temple, souvenirs such as Tang Sancai pottery and refrigerator magnets are available for purchase. Don't forget to bargain! When visiting Luoyang, how can you miss the White Horse Temple? Come and experience the charm of this ancient temple's architecture!
