Night tour Longmen has always been one of the characteristics of the entire Longmen Grottoes, but for some reasons, it stopped for a while. Today, March 30, Longmen Grottoes finally ushered in the first shining night. If you come to Luoyang during the Peony Festival, you want to see the scenery of the Longmen Grottoes at night. There are the following precautions, you can mark! 1. Even if you buy a ticket for the day, you can also visit the Longmen Grottoes at night. So I suggest that friends who want to take pictures of Longmen Grottoes, come in early in the afternoon, first enjoy the Longmen Grottoes during the day, and wait until the sun is about to fall, and the photos taken when it is going to be dark will be particularly blue and beautiful. 2. If you only want to see friends who travel at night, you can enter the scenic spot after 6 o'clock, and the fare is 90 yuan. There is no discount, and there are many attractions that you can't see. It is better to choose the afternoon time to come in. 3. The Longmen Grottoes at night are naturally the most beautiful in the main scenic spot, but don't just punch in the main scenic spot and leave in a hurry, because the river and mountains are taken on the opposite bank of the river, and the overall outline of the Longmen Grottoes is a beautiful picture. 4. Poor friends must pay attention to the latest bus, the last bus of No. 81 is 20:55, so it is recommended that you come in in the afternoon and see more than 8 o'clock to leave, so that you can take pictures of the beauty of day and night and don't worry about not having a bus to take a taxi back to the city. After all, Longmen Grottoes are still some distance from the city.

Located in Luoyang City, Henan Province, Longmen Grottoes is the world's largest and largest stone art treasure house, UNESCO named "the highest peak of Chinese stone art", ranking first of China's major grottoes. It is now a world cultural heritage, a key cultural relics protection unit in the country, and a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction. Non-holidays are already crowded. In order to see the night view, we grabbed a profit position on the other side of the Yi River early, and we didn't leave until we saw the scenery on earth.

A good attraction, was set up by the scenic spot artificial obstacles, into the parking lot for 40 minutes, along the road, some people said to give 20 yuan to stop the roadside or take you in, finally entered the scenic parking lot, but also took the battery car, walking by yourself It takes more than 20 minutes, and it takes a lot of road to get to the gate of the scenic spot. As a result, a bunch of people inside became two lanes, and they couldn't move in front, and they didn't know what was going on in the back. There is no staff to maintain order and explain. Management is too sparse

Thanks to the guardian of Xiaobing Longmen Grottoes for his emotional explanation in the morning, let our family of three learn the history, culture, grotto art of Wei and Tang, explain in detail, rich and interesting, feel the charm and history of the grottoes, goodbye Luoyang. Longmen Grottoes, you have to be good.
