If you can ignore the crowd (where in China is there no crowd?) this place is a must see.
While the car-park is a distance from the sights, it is paved and concreted so walking should be no problem for those of us who need to take our time.
The temple does have endless steps it would seem, however take your time and enjoy the mystery and the sacredness of this wonderful place.
The forest of temples to the ancestors is what I thought was truly magnificent. Quiet and engaging in a sacred sort of way.
The Longmen Grottoes are worth the trip...trolley buses get you close to the lengthy viewing area. This area has many stairs to get up close to view the carvings in the caves and grottoes. If you have a mobility problem, I suggest viewing what you can from ground level. The river is a peaceful backdrop, and the bridge takes you to the other-side where you can view from a distance the larger carvings and the perspective of size.
Trolley cars await your return to the car park which are some distance away. Note which car park you came from or you will find yourself lost as we did. Finding our way back to our driver was a nightmare of large proportions due to language difficulties.
Exhausted from the big day out was the outcome, yet thoroughly delighted with the sites and sights.
