Guanlin

Cypress, a temple, and a tomb mound for the Three Kingdoms general. It is a historic complex and an easier, smaller visit than Longmen. Useful on the way, or as the afternoon if the cliff was the morning.

Historic sites 历史古迹

Historic. The cypress court is the atmosphere. The story of Guan Yu is on every sign.

See it if you liked Wuhou in Chengdu and want the other end of the same legend. Skip it if the day is already full.

Getting there

South, on the road toward the grottoes. A taxi can do Guanlin and then Longmen, or the reverse, if the grotto slot allows. Do not cut the grotto morning short for this.

Staying nearby

Central Luoyang or near Longmen Station. Guanlin is not a neighborhood.
