White Horse Temple

    Located 12.5 km east of Luoyang, the temple was the first Buddhist temple in China since the religion spread to the country. The story goes that two Indian monks brought the Buddhist scriptures to Luoyang on two white horses. It is respectfully called " No. 1 Ancient Temple in China."
