Luoyang Old Street is mainly East Street and South Street. The streets are very old and should have been in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They have not been repaired much. There are many shops on both sides, especially East Street on the west side, which has many snacks with local characteristics. The more famous local food in Luoyang is Shuixi, which is a dish with soup. The taste is pretty good and the price is not expensive. The consumption in Luoyang is not high. There is a small shop selling sesame cakes and oil twists on South Street. The oil twists taste good and cost 1 yuan each. You can go and try them. '
Delicious food and ancient buildings are dragged down by the complicated streets, disorderly houses and even some illegal constructions and mobile vendors. Even if all the lights are on at night, even if the old city has a historical core, it cannot cover up the mess caused by negligence and lack of planning. Next to the majestic Lijing Gate, what we want is a real old city, not an urban-rural junction disguised as an "old city".
Luoyang Old Street is where the real old Luoyang city is located. It is the very small part that has been preserved from the ancient city of Sui and Tang Dynasties. It starts from Lijing Gate in the west and ends at Drum Tower in the east. The center is Cross Street, which is now the most famous night market in Luoyang City.
Luoyang Old Street West Street is an important street in the old city of Luoyang. It is located in the center of the old city, starting from Lijing Gate in the west and ending at Cross Street in the east, with a total length of about 1,800 meters. Luoyang West Street is one of the oldest streets in Luoyang, with a long history and cultural heritage. In ancient times, Luoyang West Street was the commercial center of Luoyang City. There were many shops on both sides of the street, and merchants gathered. It was one of the most prosperous areas in Luoyang City at that time. Today, Luoyang West Street is still one of the commercial centers of Luoyang City. There are many shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. on both sides of the street. Tourists can buy local specialty products and taste local food here. Walking on this ancient street, you can not only taste authentic food and feel the local dialect, but also appreciate the strong business atmosphere and the charm of special attractions.
Luoyang Old Street is also known as the Old Market. It starts from Lijing Gate in the west and ends at the Drum Tower in the east. The central part is the Cross Street. Here you can experience the current prosperity of old Luoyang and eat all kinds of local delicacies, among which the most popular is Luoyang Water Banquet. This is almost a food paradise in Luoyang.
After getting off the tower and passing through Lijing Gate, you will reach West Street in the old city of Luoyang. West Street is a pedestrian street for tourists, where a variety of traditional specialties can satisfy your taste buds.
Luoyang Old Street, well, it happened many years ago, the night view is beautiful, but it ended too early, especially the special food, dipped in water. Large quantity, light, delicious.
An old street with a mixture of residential and commercial areas, it is quite lively and nice to stroll along the street.
Luoyang Old Street has many snacks and is very lively at night. Just go through Lijing Gate.
They are basically small shops with inexpensive prices, which are considered low-priced in scenic spots across the country.
One of the old streets in Luoyang, a snack street. There is a light show at night.
After passing through Lijing Gate, you will reach Luoyang Old Street. You can come here to climb the tower to enjoy the view, taste local snacks, and learn about the long-standing Heluo culture.
There is a silk scarf seller in Luoyang Old Street. I wanted to buy two more, but unfortunately he has already returned. Does he have WeChat?
This is an old street. The lights are beautiful at night, but few people go there during the day.
Snack street? The soup is good without boiling it, and the Tang Dynasty spareribs are top-notch.
Luoyang Old Street is ancient and unique, with a unique flavor of the Central Plains. The old street is very charming. You can walk leisurely here and feel the Central Plains culture for thousands of years.
A very distinctive old street. I really like the calligraphy, painting, paper and pens here.
It is more interesting than the commercial pedestrian street. The houses in the old street are all very old. There are also many time-honored shops and snacks. There are so many that you don’t know which one to eat first.
I like things with a sense of history like old streets. After seeing so many renovated old streets in various places, I feel a little tired of them. I feel that they are becoming more and more similar, with ethnic style shops, bars, and half-old and half-modern restaurants everywhere. In comparison, even the shops selling wreaths on Luoyang Old Street look so real.
Eat a bowl of Gaoji fruit oil tea on the old street. The crispy fruit soaked in the oil tea is delicious. It is said that the old street is going to be renovated, which is a pity.
I went there on National Day. I couldn't walk. There were snacks from all over the country. I took a look and walked towards Lijingmen. There was Guanji Shuixi and Bufan Soup. It was much better than the old street.
When we arrived at the old street, we found it to be a paradise for food. There were all kinds of snacks on both sides, and the prices were not expensive. We could leave with a full stomach after strolling down the street.
After passing the octagonal building, walking along East Street, you will find many historical buildings. Eating a bowl of simple braised noodles is just like this. It fits the temperament of the old street.
The old city should be the oldest part of Luoyang, and the old street carries the memory of Luoyang. Drink a bowl of almond tea, eat a piece of plum cake, and watch the pedestrians coming and going on the street. The old street looks like two different eras merged together, naturally and harmoniously. People seem to shuttle back and forth in different time and space.
Food streets all over the country are the same, smoky and crowded, with nothing special. Try to avoid going there if possible.
It's generally quite chaotic and not well developed, so it still needs to be managed
It is no different from other ancient city food streets. There are more shops on the right street from the main entrance. The soup is delicious without stirring.
It's also a snack street that locals don't go to, and there's nothing delicious.
It's dark. Why aren't there lights on the streets of Luoyang? The storm is crying
The Old Street is connected to Lijingmen and the Snack Street. Most of the Old Street sells souvenirs. Some restaurants have good food.
I went to Luoyang Old Street on a rainy afternoon. Many shops were closed. I walked to the end and arrived at the Cross Street Night Market. The only thing that impressed me was the post office right at the door. The personalized postcards were very beautiful.
A very distinctive ancient (antique?) street, very popular and full of local characteristics, especially snacks and pastries, suitable for buying some tourist souvenirs.
There are all kinds of hot pots, which are dazzling to the eyes. It is quite interesting to be in the bustling traffic.
Luoyang Old Street is actually the same as the old streets advertised all over the country. It is surrounded by the same snacks, and vendors hawking goods that are all over the country are euphemistically called "Luoyang specialties"!
I finally got to taste the soup without boiling water in the ancient street, it was so delicious!
Taste the ingredients one by one.
There are mung bean powder, pepper, vinegar, fungus, kelp, dried shrimp, seaweed, leek, etc.
There are many places selling flower cakes in the ancient street, which is very similar to Yunnan.
Yes, this is Luoyang, where peonies are grown in abundance.
Peony flower cake is also considered a special snack.
There is a street of snacks ahead, but the snacks at the stalls can hardly arouse my appetite.
Ever since I had a pleasant surprise at the snack street in Hefang Street, Hangzhou in 2009,
It seems that no snack street can bring back the feeling I had back then.
The most distinctive thing here is probably not the snacks.
It's the rows of red lanterns hanging in the sky.
Such beautiful and colorful things are actually a feast for the eyes.
During the holidays, the old street is very crowded, and most of the food is delicious. It is recommended to try the soup without stirring, the taste is very special.
Luoyang Old Street is really crowded at night, and there are a lot of food to eat. Basically, Luoyang specialties and snacks are all available here, such as Xiaojie pot stickers, Luoyang water feast, and fried cold cakes...
Looking forward through the city gate, you can see the quiet ancient street, lined with shops, interlaced lights, and bustling with tourists.
After walking a short distance into the old street, I looked back at the Lijing Gate. The Lijing Gate, illuminated by the lights, looked even more solemn and mysterious.
It's just a scam. But it's fun. Riding a bike
The old street is really old, and the things sold there are still very unique. They are not voluntary wholesale. Fire paintings and Tang Sancai are not expensive. There was an uncle on the street painting fans, mainly peonies, small ones are 15, and big ones are 20. I asked the uncle to paint a landscape, and took out a picture of "Landscape Love" saved in my mobile phone to show him. I felt that the uncle's painting was very cute.
Every ancient city has such a street. Luoyang Ancient Street was formed in Jinzhongjing, and was built on the site of the old city of the Eastern Capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It has a history of more than 3,000 years. The old street now has more of its original appearance. The crowds coming and going, the vendors shouting and selling, and the shops lined up on both sides are full of the flavor of life. Here you can eat all kinds of Luoyang delicacies, such as Bufantang, beef soup, water feast, etc. It is a must-see attraction for tourists to Luoyang.
The area near Lijing Gate has a strong commercial atmosphere, but the shadow of the old city can still be seen in the downtown area.
There are many delicious foods in Luoyang Old Street. I queued for more than 2 hours. The food was not served until 7pm. It was a banquet. Just try it.
Walk around and have fun in the East, South and North Streets (commercial concentration areas). To truly experience the humanities and history of old Luoyang, go to the Drum Tower on East Street. That's where you can feel the flavor of the old city.
I went there during the Qingming Festival. There were so many people, so crowded that I couldn't go any further after walking less than halfway. There were only a few things for sale, very simple.
Luoyang Old Street is a must-visit! The streets are bustling, lively, and brightly lit. The most popular delicacies are Luoyang Shuixi and Bufan Tang. In addition to Lijing Gate, Drum Tower, and Octagonal Building, the shops on East Street and West Street also retain traditional storefronts, most of which are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
This is not just a tourist attraction, but also a real living area for Luoyang people. There are "Internet celebrity" shops, "sentiment" shops, "handmade" shops, and the most are Luoyang "specialty" shops. You can see silver wire pulling work everywhere in the old street~ There is also a kind of worm that is also a very popular specialty dish, but I didn't dare to eat it.
Every ancient city has a street like this, which is almost the same as the Muslim Street in Xi'an. A street in Xi'an is mostly selling roujiamo and mutton soup. Luoyang Old Street is mostly selling traditional water banquets and peony flower cakes, candies and the like. I am not very interested in water banquets, which feel like soup. The peony flower cakes taste like they are made of roses. The narrow and long streets, stone roads and shop signs on both sides of the old street give it an ancient feel.
In the Lijingmen Scenic Area, the lights at night are very beautiful
The night market here is very interesting. At around 5:30 or 6:00, a bunch of vendors who have been waiting for a long time on the road next to it push their carts and rush to the night market, haha.
I can give it four stars because of the location and the many things to eat. It is actually a commercial street with an ancient name, a bit like the Ancient Cultural Street in Tianjin. Although it is called the Old Street, the shops on both sides are close to each other, but there are also specialty shops and handicrafts and tourist souvenir shops. It has a commercial atmosphere, but it is also full of commercial atmosphere like Dashilan. There are many soup shops and small stalls, and there are many old shops marked as water banquets in the alleys on both sides. You can see the Shizijie Night Market at the end, which is still quite lively and you can take a walk
It has a very old-fashioned style, and the narrow street is lined with various shops, snack bars, teahouses, etc.
The Old Street of Luoyang is also known as the Old Market. The culture of the Old Street was formed in Jinzhongjing. It was built on the site of the East City of the Eastern Capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and has a history of more than 3,050 years. The Old Street is a microcosm of Luoyang's history and culture. Buildings such as the Lijing Gate, the Octagonal Building, the Wenbi Peak, and the Drum Tower stand tall. The Old Street also preserves more of its original appearance. The crowds coming and going, the hawkers shouting and selling, and the shops lined up on both sides are full of the flavor of life. Here you can experience the current prosperous scene of Old Luoyang and eat all kinds of local delicacies in Luoyang, among which the most popular is the Luoyang Water Banquet.
The old street is part of Luoyang's market culture. From Lijing Gate to Drum Tower in the east-west direction, there is a cross street in the north-south direction. It takes one or two hours to walk through it. The street sells peony painted cakes, local specialties such as no-turn soup, beef soup, meatball soup and water banquets, which are delicious and inexpensive. Before seven o'clock in the evening, the lights on Lijing Gate are very beautiful, and the lanterns on the cross street are also beautiful, which has the feeling of an old street.
Luoyang Old Street is next to Lijing Gate. There are many buildings on the street that are over a hundred years old, and there are also many small shops selling snacks. It is worth a visit.
There are many famous snacks gathered in the antique street. It is best to come here in the evening, so you can eat and watch the streets at night. Generally, the ancient streets are the most beautiful at night.
A bit messy, but nothing special. Lots of snacks, very cheap

There is nothing else except the night market and snacks.
It is a representative street in Luoyang, with abundant snacks and specialty shops.
The street at Lijingmen is OK. The old street is full of snacks, but they are not Luoyang snacks, which are available all over the country. The environment is not messy either.
A tourist street, a very quaint street, the food is not expensive and very affordable.
I walked along the street from Lijing Gate for an unknown amount of time. I wondered why this street was so long. Suddenly, I saw a large number of red lanterns and realized I was at the old street after checking the map on my phone.
Red lanterns shroud the world, and most of the stalls here are Luoyang water banquets, neatly arranged and well organized. There are also various other snacks that are so cheap that you can't believe it. It is a good place to satisfy your appetite. The alley leading to Lijing Gate is mostly selling specialties and souvenirs, and of course, the most popular is food.
Very tasteful, not much remains in the old street, and the night market is also very interesting
Just walk straight ahead from Lijing Gate. There are not many people here during the day, but a lot of people at night. Many people are attracted by the small lanterns at night. In addition to Lijing Gate, there is also Luoyang Drum Tower nearby. The prices are not expensive. It is considered a unique street in Luoyang and you can have a good look around.
Luoyang Old Market is the old city area of Luoyang, an old street under Lijing Gate. It is very lively here at night.
In the old city, near Lijing Gate. This is the center of the old Luoyang City. There is a drum tower, a cross street, and a pedestrian street. There are lights at night and a food street.
Next to Lijing Gate is a snack street. There is such a place in every city, so it’s okay to go around, but don’t have too high expectations. I went to the most famous Guanji Water Banquet. Well, the storefront is very small and the environment is not very good, but because it is a time-honored brand, it is worth a try. Luoyang Water Banquet, Luoyang Water Banquet is a special traditional banquet unique to Luoyang, Henan Province, belonging to the Henan cuisine. Luoyang Water Banquet began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. It is one of the oldest famous banquets preserved in China so far. It has two meanings: one is that all hot dishes have soup - soup soup water; the other is that after finishing a hot dish of Luoyang Water Banquet, another one will be served, like running water constantly updating. I ordered a few dishes to taste. The price is very cheap and the taste is average. Something like hawthorn soup is not bad.
The old street carries the memory of Luoyang. Drinking a bowl of almond tea, eating a piece of plum blossom cake, and watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, it seems like two different eras have merged together, naturally and harmoniously.
Just like every city's snack street, you can feel the youthful vitality of a city the best! I didn't eat anything, it was nice to just walk around. By the way, I bought some peony cakes in the end, I think the taste is just so-so, but the atmosphere is so good, hahahahahahaha. During the festival, it was really a People Mountain People Sea, I looked at the grease on the ground and couldn't be cleaned off.
Lijingmen is located at the west gate of Luoyang Old City. Inside is an old street where vendors gather, shops are lined up, hawking goods are constantly being sold, and all kinds of food and drink are available. The Luoyang water banquet is the most famous.
Hey, since you're here, can't you have a good meal at Laoji Food Street? I've been here both during the day and at night, but I have to say it's especially lively at night.
"Really different" The water banquet is not to my taste, a bit sour. A table sat with tourists from all over the world who didn't know each other:) In our words, it was a shared table, and each ordered their own food
Not far away is Lijing Gate. You can pay to climb up to Lijing Gate at night to see the night view of Luoyang.
Passing through Lijing Gate is the old street, and at the end of the old street is the cross street, which is next to it and is a place that foreign tourists will definitely visit.
The main restaurants, such as Zhen Bu Tong, Shizi Lou, Xinghua Village, and Guanjia, are all on the old street. Except for Xiaojie Guotie, which is a little further away, all kinds of snacks are also gathered here. As you eat along the way, you will find that they all claim to be time-honored brands with Luoyang characteristics. If you are obsessed with eating authentic food, you must pay attention to see clearly.
Snack street, I came here when I arrived in Luoyang, but it was not as good as I imagined. The food is similar in snack festivals all over the country. Just stroll around
Luoyang Old Street is just average, not very old-fashioned.
A very distinctive street with many traditional time-honored shops and traditional goods. If you like shopping but have had enough of modern shopping malls, then this is the best place to go!
Coming out of Lijing Gate, you will directly enter Luoyang Old Street.
Luoyang Ancient Street was formed in Jinzhongjing and was built on the site of the East City of the Eastern Capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It has a history of more than 3,000 years.

The crowds coming and going, the vendors shouting and selling, and the quaint small shops on both sides are full of the flavor of fireworks. Here you can eat all kinds of Luoyang delicacies, such as non-turning soup, beef soup, water feast, etc. Walking slowly on this street, it really feels like tasting a thousand years of history.
