Longshan Grottoes Review

Tianlongshan Grottoes are located on the main peak of Tianlong Mountain, not far from Jinci in a straight line, but the mountain road is more than 20 kilometers, and it is difficult to travel. The scenic spot is a national cultural and environmental protection unit, free of tickets. The two stone sculptures of the gatekeepers who are protected by glass at the entrance of the temple are lifelike. Tianlongshan Grottoes are small in scale, with a total of more than 20 caves. From the Northern Wei to Tang Dynasty, the preservation condition is general. The head of the Buddha statue is either weathered or stolen. There is more than this grotto near Tianlong Mountain, but there are few tourists here. Friends who like quiet can come and see it.

You have to climb to the top of the mountain to see the grottoes. The mountain is not high. It takes about 40 minutes from the entrance to the top of the mountain. It is a bit tired. There is a Taoist view on the mountain. The grotto is located on the side of the Taoist view, there are nine, the scale is not large, the hole has a fence around it can only be seen outside, can not go in, there are several grotto statues in the head history of the stolen chisel, it is a pity.

很有文化底蕴的地方，历史悠久，能够看到古人的智慧和盛事的繁华，可惜去的那天太热，道路两边没有遮阳的地方，停车场到景区检票口要走好远，可能还在规划吧，希望将来能做的更好

需要爬山半小时，观赏红叶的好去处，龙山石窟有国内现存最大的道教石窟，是全国重点文物保护单位，规模不大，是元代道教塑像的代表作。

龙山石窟门票只有2元钱，因为它所有的雕像都集中在一块峰顶上，相对天龙山石窟，这里的雕像构图更生动些，雕像的完整性也好一些（就是雕像的脑袋在的多一些）。龙山石窟是元代开凿的，也是国内仅有的一座道教石窟。窟内都是三清的石雕。其中有一个洞窟是唐代开凿的，供奉的全真七子，就是马珏÷邱处机等人，难道历史上果真有全真七子其人吗？不是金庸老先生杜撰出来的吗？石窟边有观景平台，从这里可以眺望到半个太原市，还有全国最到的人工湖晋阳湖。

这个景点人不多，环境整治的非常好，售票处和山顶都有纯净水热水器，非常方便。五月来这里看花，十月来这里看叶。这能看到办个太原城，晋阳湖尽收眼底。票价很值啊。

被罕有的道教石窟的介绍吸引而去，正好又是自驾，就前去探访了，结果坑惨了。停车场买票20，进去后就是长长的登山步道，爬了N久才到山顶，石窟又是要下去一大段路。虽说景点资源别具特色，也是国保，但是缺乏修缮开发，旅游体验不好，而且特别累。
