Luoyang 4-Day Tour: Longmen Grottoes & Henan Only Show

Longmen Grottoes are carved into cliffs along the Yi River, with over 2,000 niches and 100,000+ statues; the Vairocana Buddha at Fengxian Temple is breathtaking. Along with Dunhuang and Yungang, it is a pinnacle of Northern Wei to Tang stone carving.

Mount Song, the central peak of China's Five Sacred Mountains, unites Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist sites; its 'Centre of Heaven and Earth' complex is a UNESCO site. Hike to Junji Peak and visit Songyang Academy and Zhongyue Temple.

Only Henan · Drama Phantom City near Zhongmou, Zhengzhou, is a vast earthen-walled theatre complex presenting Central Plains civilization through immersive plays. Plan a full day to follow its stories of hardship and harvest.

The trip winds down: you are transferred to the station/airport per your departure time. If time allows, a last stroll downtown; pack early and check documents. Safe travels!
