Travel through four countries in one second! The White Horse Temple in Luoyang features China, India, Myanmar, and Thailand all in one place!

Finally checked in at the White Horse Temple, which had been in my favorites for a long time! After visiting in person, I was so moved by this ancient multinational temple with a thousand years of history that I almost cried! 🕌 The dual impact of the origin of Buddhism As the founding temple of Chinese Buddhism📍 ✔️ Established in the 11th year of the Yongping era of the Eastern Han Dynasty (68 AD) ✔️ The only international temple in the world that gathers Buddhist halls from China, India, Myanmar, and Thailand ✔️ The International Buddhist Hall area was built successively from 2010 to 2014 All building materials were airlifted from their original locations~Posting photos on social media will instantly get you asked, "Which country is this?!" 🌟 Complete route (to avoid backtracking): Di Renjie’s Tomb → Qiyun Pagoda → Shanmen Gate → Great Buddha Hall → Thousand Buddha Hall → Reception Hall → Qingliang Terrace → Thailand Buddhist Hall → Myanmar Buddhist Hall → India Buddhist Hall Latest must-visit checklist ☑️ Qiyun Pagoda Courtyard (90% of tourists miss this) Home to China’s first relic pagoda + officially recognized tomb of Di Renjie🏺 History buffs must visit! This is the real artifact you only see in textbooks! ☑️ Qingliang Terrace (the White Horse Temple’s centerpiece) The most famous scene among the six views: √ Pilu Pavilion’s "Avatamsaka Three Saints" statues √ Ancient Chinese Buddha from Thailand & bronze statue of Shakyamuni from India Recommended to visit in the morning when the lighting is best for photos📸 📍 Address: No. 6 Luobai Road, Baima Temple Town, Luolong District, Luoyang 🕗 Opening hours: Open at 7:40|Last ticket at 18:00|Clearance at 18:30 🎫 Tickets 35 RMB, reservation required 🚌 Transportation tips: 1️⃣ Direct buses: 56 / 801 / 58 2️⃣ Self-driving requires parking reservation🅿️ Recommended parking at Shiyuan Square on Zhongzhou East Road Suggest traveling during off-peak hours! ‼️PS: My complete route starts from Di Renjie’s Tomb. Most guides have an order that requires you to circle back to Di Renjie’s Tomb after visiting the India Buddhist Hall, repeating the Shanmen Gate section. With my recommended order, you can exit the scenic area directly after visiting the India Buddhist Hall without backtracking.

I visited Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang in August to witness the magnificent grottoes. From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the Longmen Grottoes are the product of generations of dedicated effort, carved into the mountain walls, one chisel at a time, a truly breathtaking sight. The Longmen Grottoes stretch along the Yi River, and if you have the opportunity, you can enjoy a different kind of beauty at night. White Horse Temple, Lijing Gate, and Cross Street are also must-see attractions in Longmen, Luoyang. Journeying through the ancient capital, exploring historical sites, and even in the scorching summer heat, the impressions are breathtaking.
