Silk Road - The Mount Longmen Caves in Luoyang
The largest collection of Buddhist sculptures in Central Asia. The first dates back to 483 during the Wei dynasty whose capital was Luoyang, the latest date from the Tang dynasty (618 - 907) whose capital was Chang'an. The Wei Dynasty moved its capital from Datong (caves of Yungang) to Luoyang. © Alex Kwok - See the Silk Road map with a complete picture set.
