The explanation of the high guide is particularly good and clear. The knowledge content is full. At our scene, the two of us signed up and thought that we would not open a group, but the high guide did his best and did not slack off. Thank you for making our trip to the White Horse Temple more interesting.

When I came to Luoyang Baima Temple, I was very fortunate to have chosen a very good interpreter, Mr. Gao, an hour and a half of the explanation, which has the overall historical context, cultural relics details, and many Buddhist knowledge. I feel that I have benefited a lot. Like the white horse temple such as this scenic spot, you still have to ask a professional explanation to feel the real heritage here. I like the last sentence of Teacher Gao. Thousands of years ago, we took root in our land with an open and inclusive mentality; thousands of years later, we also welcomed the culture of various countries in our land with the style of a great country.

There are many people who belong to Luoyang's must-visit attractions. In fact, more religious tourists, the incense-burning Buddhas account for a large proportion. Almost every Buddha in front of the incense burner or the temple has previously had people who knelt or worshiped. If you have no study of the temple, or are not believers, you don't have to come to the White Horse Temple. The Indian and Burmese-style monasteries of the modern architecture behind, you can learn about the exotic customs without going abroad. But the truth is the same. If there is no research and no background understanding, it can only be a horse viewing. On the contrary, the Qiyun Tower a few hundred meters away from the Baima Temple (belonging to the Baima Temple Scenic Area) is worth seeing. From the ancient tower of 2000 today, you can pray around the tower three times. There was an echo effect in the past, which cannot be reproduced due to wind and rain erosion. If you pass from the city, it is best to take a subway first, then take a taxi for ten minutes to arrive, and return to the city.

One of the most famous attractions in Luoyang is a must-see attraction like Longmen Grottoes. Compared with other temples, it is obvious that there are still some attractions on the left and right sides of the White Horse Temple that can be visited.

Follow the tour guide to transfer a few temples, mainly listen to the explanation, heart is the spirit, there are Thailand and several other international temples in the west, there is also a stop tea house, is the white horse temple special to provide free tea to tourists, very special, there are many people, Basically everyone can go in and rest quietly, drink tea without talking!
