Carrying over 1,500 years of history, Longmen Grottoes is the carving masterpiece, which went through over 400 years to complete, tracing back to 493 AD of Northern Wei dynasty. Now as a famous tourist site, it shows the bright period of Buddhist culture in ancient China.

Besides the temple itself, tourists can see Kungfu Show here, and the Pagoda Forest (the tombs for deceased monks) is also very impressive.
