China 5/21 – Luoyang

2024

A trip to China in August 2024. Part 5 is the great city of Luoyang and its surroundings, and here mainly Buddhist caves on the Yi River hiding 10,000 Buddhas (actually, as many as 142,000 larger and smaller statues have been counted). Across the river, a Buddha temple and a villa where the empress used to invite the best poets. Numerous photos from a drone.
In the evening, a walk through the backstreets of the old city, with numerous stalls and street food
