I cannot stress this enough, although I find Luoyang to be a nice weekend getaway (highly recommend the museum, White Horse Temple, and the Guanlin Miao), the Longmen Caves are a waste of time and money. The ticket for the Longmen Caves is very expensive, and the picture above is the picture of the only statues to survive the Cultural Revolution (and a small amount of foreign plunder). You pay an insanely high ticket price to look at the vague outlines of what once were beautiful carvings. Although I have to say Huangshan is amazing, if you can manage to be there without total cloud cover.
