Below is a list of tourist attractions in Luoyang:

The Longmen Grottoes are 12 km south of the present day city of Luoyang in Henan, China. Along with the Mogao Caves and Yungang Grottoes, the Longmen Grottoes are one of the three most famous ancient sculptural sites in China. There are 2345 caves and niches, 2800 inscriptions, 43 pagodas and over 100,000 Buddhist images at the site. 30% of the caves date from the Northern Wei Dynasty, 60% from the Tang Dynasty, and caves from other periods less than 10%.

Fengxiansi (Fengxian Temple, 672-675 AD) is the largest and most extravagant cave in Longmen, featuring the impressive Vairocana Buddha and various other bodhisattvas. It was built during the golden age of Tang Dynasty and is often considered as the pinnacle of Chinese Buddhism arts.
