Luoyang

Luoyang, in modern Henan province, China, was a capital of several dynasties and one of the earliest centres of Chinese Buddhism — traditionally the site of the White Horse Temple, regarded as the first Buddhist temple in China, and near the Longmen Grottoes. The pilgrim Yijing returned to Luoyang in 695 after his sea voyage, where he was received by Empress Wu Zetian.
