☑️ Check-in Guide📸
❶ Jiuzhou Pond—Mingtang Paradise—Yingtian Gate
This route is a classic city walk for an immersive experience of the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty. Jiuzhou Pond is the perfect spot to photograph Mingtang Paradise, and Yingtian Gate under the night sky shines like a palace, instantly transporting you back in time.

❷ Luoyang Museum
Recommended as the first stop! To understand a city, start from the museum. The collection is rich, including Tang Sancai, Han Dynasty pottery figurines, carved jade artifacts… the glory of the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties unfolds here slowly.

❸ White Horse Temple
Known as "China’s First Ancient Temple," with over 1900 years of history. Buddhist halls featuring styles from China, India, Myanmar, and Thailand gather here, making it both international and serene, perfect for photos and quiet reflection.

❹ Longmen Grottoes
One of the four great grottoes, night visits are recommended! When the Buddha caves are illuminated, it feels like the thousand-year-old Buddha light is reignited, a glance is eternity.

☑️ Travel Tips💡
✔️ Recommended to stay near Luoyi Ancient City for easy access to nearby attractions.
✔️ Local specialties include small bowls of beef soup, Hui pancakes, Luoyang Water Banquet, etc. Xigong Restaurant’s small street potstickers and Nanguan’s small bowls of beef soup are quite popular.
✔️ Traveling in Luoyang inevitably involves long journeys. To catch the schedule, I held in my urine all the way, but when I finally reached the restroom, I couldn’t urinate, and it felt painful and burning. A friend in medicine said it was a urinary tract infection and advised me to buy a box of Sanjin tablets, a traditional Chinese medicine with over 50 years of history produced by the time-honored brand Guilin Sanjin. It can improve urinary discomfort. This time I truly experienced the pain of a urinary tract infection. Everyone, when traveling, don’t skip drinking water or hold in urine just to keep up with the schedule. After all, no one wants a sudden health issue to ruin a carefully planned trip~

✨ Luoyang is a city you only understand once you arrive.
The smoke and clouds of thirteen dynasties have dispersed into the wind, but the dream of the flourishing Tang Dynasty still shines in every light.
