Temple Vibes 🛕✨ 📍White Horse Temple, Luoyang

#discoverchina I was blown away by White Horse Temple in Luoyang… This isn’t just any temple — it’s the first official Buddhist temple built in China after Buddhism was introduced, making it the cradle of Chinese Buddhism. Known as both the “Source of Buddhism” and the “Ancestral Temple,” its historical and spiritual significance is immense 🌟 If you visit Luoyang, this is a must-see! Not only does it house a thousand-year-old temple, but also three uniquely styled Buddhist halls from Thailand 🇹🇭, Myanmar 🇲🇲, and India 🇮🇳, giving you a mini world tour of Buddhist architecture. 🌸 Quick Facts 📅 Founded: Year 68 AD, Eastern Han Dynasty 🏛 Highlights: Tenglan Tomb Qingliang Terrace Midnight Bell Qiyun Pagoda Broken Inscription Stele Scripture Burning Platform 🧘 Inside the Grand Hall: The temple’s treasure — 18 lacquered Arhats from the Yuan Dynasty Two Buddha relics of Shakyamuni A copy of “The Sutra of Forty-two Chapters”, the first Chinese-translated Buddhist scripture #travel #thingstodo

3 days is all you need to explore stunning temples, gaze upon ancient Buddhist carvings and witness jaw-dropping feats of human endurance and strength. Luoyang is renowned as the home of the martial art Kung Fu, where you can watch local monks and students throw a needle through a pane of glass or effortlessly fly through the air. Without a doubt, a mesmerising trip and one I definitely won’t forget!
