Honestly, I had seen plenty of photos of the Longmen Grottoes. Being there was quieter and more absorbing than I expected, and I stopped checking my phone for a while.

This worked for us because we didn't have to solve transport between Xi'an and Luoyang and the Longmen Grottoes. We could pay attention to the places, not the logistics.

A practical note: there was more walking than I guessed from the title. Nothing difficult, just enough that I was glad I wore trainers. My only advice is not to shorten the time at the Longmen Grottoes.
