Longmen Grottoes
There are more than 100,000 stone statues here, varying from 2-centimeter to 17.14-meter high, and extending for about 1,094 yards along both banks of Yi River. Fengxian Temple, the largest grotto among the Longmen Grottoes, exhibits nine major Buddhas with various facial appearances and temperaments. Wanfo Cave, with 15,000 little Buddhas, is a typical chronological cave consisting of two rooms, square flat roofs and walls decorated by lifelike relief. Guyang Cave, the earliest cave in the Longmen Grottoes, has sculptures of diverse shapes and patterns. Binyang Cave's floor is engraved with lotus patterns and its rooftop is decorated by relief of flourishing lotus flower. Lotus Cave is a chiseled grotto on the base of natural limestone.

Need to book plank walk tickets of Huashan Mountain in advance?
I've heard that you need to buy tickets for the plank walk two days before you plan to do it. Is this true? If yes, then how can you book tickets?

You can take a free shuttle bus according to your high-speed train ticket from the Terracotta Worries to the north station. Or you need to go back to the main railway station by Tourist Bus Line 5 first and then take the metro line 4 to Xing zheng zhong xin and transfer to Metro Line 2 to the North Station.

I'm afraid you cannot cover all the attractions in one day. You need to spend at least 2 days.

There are several buses departing from Zhengzhou Central Bus Station to Shaolin Temple and they depart at 7:00, 8:00, 8:50, 9:40. 10:10, 11:00. It takes about 1.5 hours and costs CNY28 per person.

Take Bus Line 8 from Shaolin Temple to Songshan Mountain and it takes about 1 hour.

After that. Take bus from Shaolin Temple to Luoyang and it costs around CNY 20. Then take Bus Line 62/K62 to the Longmen Grottoes, which takes CNY1.

From Luoyang to Zhengzhou, you can take bus from Luoyang Bus Station and the bus departs from 7:00 to 19:00 hourly. It takes about 2.5h and costs CNY35.

There is no metro from the airport to Xi’an downtown, but you can take the airport shuttle bus to the Bell Tower Hotel in the city center. It runs from 7 am to 9:40 pm with around 80 minutes riding for each shift and departs every 20 minutes.
