    Seamless entry. Overall experience is not that long if you only view one side of the grottoes. Try to check up days where they do maintenance on the lightings (this was in Nov for 2025). The night view is worth a wait.

    To play Laojun Mountain, you must be physically strong. You must walk Shili Gallery and the glass plank road. You must take the ropeway to and from the ropeway. At night, you must see the golden ceiling lights. It is called the golden sky and the world. Go to the world to be shocked and see the world's prosperity.

    Luoyang Museum is really great value! There are so many cultural relics, from Xia Shang to Tang Song, the pieces are boutique, and it is not tired to go shopping for a day. The "Cao Wei White Jade Cup" of the treasure hall on the second floor is so beautiful that it is suffocating, and the Buddha statue of the stone carving hall is also super shocking. The interpreter is super vivid and the historical white can understand. The only downside is that there are a lot of people, it is recommended to go early. Parking around is convenient, tickets are free (remember to make an appointment in advance), The small objects in the cultural and creative store are also quite interesting. In short, you must punch in Luoyang, and it is definitely worth the time!

    The first time I went to Baima Temple, I directly copied this route without pit Raiders Baima Temple was built in Yongping, East Han Dynasty in 11 years (68 AD), and was the first official Buddhist monastery in China, known as the "Chinese Buddhist Zuting" and "Release Source". It is rumored that the night dream gold people of the emperor of the Han Ming Dynasty sent the west to seek the law, and the white horse came back. In order to commemorate the white horse, the name was "White Horse Temple". Although the White Horse Temple has been rebuilt many times, it still retains the relics of Taiji and ancient wells in the Han and Wei periods, and integrates the unique landscape of China, Myanmar, India and Thailand. Four countries of Buddhist architectural style, forming "one temple Tibetan four teams tour order entrance → Di Cemetery → Qiyun Tower → Mountain Gate Pan → Temple of Heaven → Temple of the Great Buddha → Temple of the Great Hall → Connection Hall → Pilu Pavilion → Shiyuan Exhibition Hall → Zhiyu Tea House Style Palace → Thai Style Palace → Myanmar Style Palace → The must-see Qiyun Tower in India: The ancient Jindai Miyu brick tower in the ancient city of zui in Central Plains can experience the core ancient construction area of the acoustic wonder of "blow the palms and listen to the frogs": the Temple of Heavenly Kings (Maitreya Buddha/Four Great Kings), the Temple of the Great Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha), the Temple of the Great (III Buddha), The Introduction Temple (Western Sansheng) is distributed along the central axis.

    The park is very large and has a Han and Tang Dynasty style. The night views of Mingtang Paradise and Yingtian Gate are charming, and the Yingtian Gate light show is worth seeing. The martial arts field experience project at Jiuzhou Pond has a good design and is suitable for going at night. It is too hot during the day.

    China's national garden is simply a paradise for peony lovers! The flowering period in April was simply beautiful, hundreds of peony varieties were competing, and the air was fragrant. The garden design is superb, the small bridge and flowing water are matched with the sea of flowers, and the wallpaper is just a shot. It is recommended to come in the morning, there are few people and good light, and you can see the peony with dew. Tickets are 30 yuan worth, and the park is very big to remember to wear comfortable shoes. The only regret is that the flowering period is short, and you have to wait a year to miss it. However, there are green plants to see in other seasons, but there is less soul. Come to Luoyang without seeing peony is equal to white, here is definitely the first choice to punch in!

    天隐.天隐.

    Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum is definitely the most "shade" museum 😃! The underground exhibition hall 1:1 restores more than 20 ancient tombs. The feeling of drilling the tomb path and watching the murals is too novel, like playing a real-life tomb stealing note. The West Han "playing ghost maps" and the Song Dynasty woman Kaimen map are particularly shocking, the ancient brain is really big! Free visit but remember to make an appointment in advance, the interpreter is 10 yuan very worth it. The only downside is that the earth palace is a bit cold, it is recommended to bring a coat. After shopping, you can also go to Jingling to check in. The whole game is enough for 2 hours. It is best for timid friends to come together, but to be honest, it is not scary at all, but it is super knowledge! Come to Luoyang to experience!

    There is a nostalgic shop in the ancient city, there are books for young people who sell children, etc. The food inside is also good, especially the beef pot stickers, you must see the performance time of the fairy scattered in advance, it is worth seeing, very exciting.

    A fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. The only place in Luoyang where you can see flowers bloom in winter is the plum garden in the Luoyang Sui-Tang Relics Park Botanical Garden! The blooming winter plums have attracted many Luoyang citizens and photography enthusiasts, bringing a touch of warmth to the winter! With the winter plums in bloom, can spring be far behind?!
