Who says the grandeur is only found in Chang'an?

Luoyang City also hides a millennium of splendor ✨ As the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, every brick and tile in Luoyang tells a historical tale. This time, let me share the most essential 2-day itinerary to explore Luoyang, where you can immerse yourself in thousand-year-old culture while checking in at popular attractions~ Day 1: A Journey Through the Golden Age of Tang 📍Longmen Grottoes (8:00-17:30): A breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site. Hiring a guide is recommended for an in-depth tour. Wear comfortable shoes as there are many steps~ Don't miss the authentic Luoyang Water Banquet at the entrance! 📍White Horse Temple (8:00-18:00): China's first ancient Buddhist temple, featuring architectural styles from China, India, Myanmar, and Thailand. Try the Donghuatan Hui-style noodles outside the temple! 📍Luoyi Ancient City (Open all day): A Tang-style commercial area with stunning night views. Light shows and performances start at 7 PM nightly. The snacks at Cross Street Night Market are amazing 😋 Day 2: Flower Appreciation & Historical Tour 📍China National Flower Garden (6:30-19:00): The peony sea in April is breathtakingly beautiful! Wangcheng Park is also worth a visit~ 📍Luoyang Museum (9:00-17:00): Free entry but requires reservation. Don't miss the star exhibit - the Bronze Jue with Nipple Patterns! 📍Yingtianmen Light Show (20:00-20:30): Arrive 1 hour early for the best spot at the center of the square. After the show, head to the nearby Old Luoyang Noodle House for late-night snacks~ 🚗 Transportation Tips: The high-speed rail to Luoyang Longmen Station is most convenient. Taxis between attractions cost under 20 yuan. Shared electric bikes are also popular~ 🍜 Must-Try Foods: Bu Fan Soup, Donkey Meat Soup, Jiang Noodles... We recommend Guanji Water Banquet and Old Luoyang Noodle House in the old town area - just 40 yuan per person for a feast!
