Long history and splendid cultural relics

The Central Plains of China gathers Luoyang, Kaifeng, Taiyuan, Datong, and Pingyao, and is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. The Buddha statues in the Longmen Grottoes of Luoyang have endured thousands of years of wind and rain, the Shanghe Garden in Qingming, Kaifeng has revived the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Zhou Bai and Tang Huai in the Jin Temple in Taiyuan witness the Spring and Autumn Period of the Three Jin Dynasties, the statues in the Yungang Grottoes of Datong tell the glory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the city walls of Pingyao Ancient City are engraved with the legend of Jin merchants.

The Lushena Giant Buddha in Longmen Grottoes, the glazed tower body of Kaifeng Iron Tower, the towering double postures of Taiyuan Twin Towers, the unparalleled danger of Datong Hanging Temple, and the financial wisdom of Pingyao Rishengchang Bank constitute a multidimensional picture of 5000 years of civilization. The oracle bone inscriptions in Yin Xu in Anyang on the bank of the Yellow River buried the code of the origin of the characters here.

Our planned itinerary includes visiting the White Horse Temple to listen to the morning bells and evening drums, as well as strolling through the ancient city of Pingyao to experience the prosperity of Jin merchants; You can either climb up the Stork Tower and recite the phrase 'The sun is at the end of the mountain', or explore the ancient architectural wisdom of the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. Every step is a civilizational dialogue that transcends time and space.
