Luoyang · Day Trip
The floodlit Vairocana Buddha — the grottoes' evening session (in season) is the city's most dramatic sight.
Metro line 2 to the west gate at dusk — the Yi River reflects the first lights.
The west-bank trail under floodlight — the Vairocana Buddha in the dark is the moment every photograph chases.
Cross the bridge as the grottoes close and take the metro home.
