655RMB First Stop Wangcheng ParkLuoyang peonies are the best in the world, and there are countless parks for viewing peonies. I saw the guide said that not going to Wangcheng Park in Luoyang is like going to Beijing and not going to the Great Wall. Well, I didn't go to the Great Wall when I went to Beijing.
Wangcheng Park, the ancient royal gardens, but now, it has become the people's health place. There are square dancers everywhere, and some teenagers running.
On entering the park, there are many peonies, red, pink, purple, white, yellow and so on. The guide clearly said there were black flowers, but I didn't find any.
Besides peonies, there is also a safari park. Monkeys, elephants, peacocks, alpacas and various other animals. If I were one of these animals, I would have died because I would have missed the rush of the grasslands and the fragrance of the forest. Wild animals belong to nature in the first place, and it is not in favor of capturing and imprisoning them for the sake of viewing.
Walking around Wangcheng Park for two hours, I headed to my next stop, the White Horse Temple.
Second stop, Baima TempleBaima Temple, China's first ancient temple, is the first of its kind in China, as many attractions claim to be, so it's no surprise to see this one. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the time of Emperor Han Mingdi, one day, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly had a strange dream, in the dream, there was a head with a halo on the top of his head to talk to him, although he couldn't understand, but he thought it was very powerful, and then he was told that it was the great god of the Western Heaven, called Buddha.
Han Mingdi heard, this fun it, so sent a team west to find Buddha, not out of a lot of distance, a group of Han envoys in the desert met two monks, these two monks a called Gaya Maoteng, one called ZhuFanLan, is a real practice of people, so the Han envoys on the lead of the two monks to the white horse carrying sutras, statues of the Buddha came to LuoYang, Han MingDi LiuZhuang know after especially happy, also personally ran outside to meet and worship them. Because they were humped by white horses, they got the name White Horse Temple.
This white horse is not the white dragon horse that the Tang Monk rode to get the scriptures, it is more than 560 years earlier than the white dragon horse.
In the White Horse Temple, looking for the tomb of Dee Renjie, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Dee Renjie, as if seeing a former friend. After all, the King of Honor used Dee Renjie to fight thousands of games.
White Horse Temple inside the exotic style of Thai temples and Indian temples. For the temple is really not very interested, the reputation is just outside. The sun was blazing, and I was so hot and sleepy that I took a nap in one of the cooler spots. Woke up and headed to the third stop, Lijingmen.
Third stop
Lijingmen
Youth hostel booked next to the Lijingmen, the 8 weeks space capsule youth hostel.
The most amazing thing about hostels is that they don't feel like you're staying in a hotel, but like you're going on a date with strangers you haven't met before. In a strange place, meet different accents, with different experiences of the people, do not ask the identity of the origin, a few people nestled in the sofa to chat, talk, the next day, woke up, do not say goodbye, do not say goodbye, backpacks and leave, re-entered their own journey. The Xiamen "old time" youth hostel gave me this experience, since then I fell in love with the hostel, but also fantasize that I can open a hostel in the future.
Drop off your bag at the hostel, take a break and head to Lijingmen. The owner recommended Luoyi Old Town to me. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to have a good chat with the owner and the other guys. In the future, we must pay attention to this point, I just blame myself for doing the strategy is too hasty, procrastination late always have to consider the place is not well thought out.
Lijingmen, the western gate of the imperial city of Luoyang, a long snack street.
Walking and eating, traveling in addition to shopping, and eating. In the past, more like shopping, to eat a little do not care. Maybe by the snack goods Riyu "assimilated", see the snack street is my most excited today the most exciting moment. Follow the navigation of the Gaode map, through a dark alley, the inner nervous, finally arrived in Luoyi Ancient City.
The night view of Luoyi Ancient City is really shocking, or the lights are awesome. I think the first time I was shocked by the night scenery is still in the ancient city of Phoenix.
When I came to Luoyang, I naturally had to try the most famous "non-turnover soup". However, I don't think it's very good.
Eating and drinking, back to the hotel is almost 11 o'clock, no time to chat with the boss, a little regret. I went to bed and planned to visit the Longmen Grottoes in the morning and the Luoyang Museum in the afternoon.
When I woke up, it was more than eight o'clock. After packing up and saying goodbye to the boss, I wandered around the Lijingmen snack street a bit more and saw a special little store selling postcards, but unfortunately it wasn't open yet.
Fourth stop Longmen GrottoesLongmen Grottoes scenic area is divided into four parts: Longmen East Cave, Longmen West Cave, Xiangshan Temple and White Garden. Between the West Grottoes and the East Grottoes, the water flows slowly. With mountains and water, it is always full of spiritual energy.
The grottoes and statues of Buddha really don't have much attraction for people like me who have little faith. But after hundreds of years of change, the sense of history and the craftsmanship of artisans hundreds of years ago, as well as the expectations of the general public in those statues, or people can not help but give birth to a few points of respect.
It is conceivable that so many dynasties, so many decades, the craftsmen dragged their families, living under the Longmen Mountain, axe and battle-axe to open up the mountain, knife file chiseling stone, generation after generation, one stroke after another, with a long time for the future generations left an even longer period of splendor.
