I have travelled East to LuoYang and ZhengZhou for the long weekend.

Both cities were in Henan and ZhengZhou is the capital of Henan.

LuoYang was a historical city similar to Xi an filled with dynaties and prehistoric records.  This is also the birth place of traditional pottery glazing method唐三彩。I was truely amazed by the  brilliant idea of pottery and its glazing method created 2 thousands years ago when I visited the LuoYang museum.  Xi An’s museum displayed targeted at the royal families, Luoyang Museum focus more on the commoner and the riches too.

We went to 龙门石窟 but it was covered with thick hazed.  This made the entire trip mysterious.  Tang dynasties was so powerful to made this cave buddha possible.  What I have seen in the museum of the buddhas was amplified 20 times bigger sitting along the cliffs next to the 伊河。

What kind of a cities were Tang Dynasty culturally I wandered?
