    📍 **Just visited the Longmen Grottoes, Luoyang** 🇨🇳
    WOW—today was unreal! 😍 Exploring the Longmen Grottoes felt like stepping into a time machine. These caves are home to **over 100,000 Buddha statues**, with the largest one towering at **17 meters tall**! 🧘‍♂️🗿 And get this—the smallest one is only **2 cm**. The level of detail is insane! 😮

    These carvings have been around since the **Northern Wei and Tang dynasties**, and the site has seen some major action, including battles by the **Yi River**. ⚔️ You can practically feel the history as you wander through the caves.

    Huge shoutout to the restoration crews—they’re doing an amazing job preserving this masterpiece for future visitors! 💪🏽 Can’t believe how much we learned today!

    After the grottoes we visited the White Horse Temple. China’s oldest Buddhist temple.
