Where is the center of the world? The Western Zhou Dynasty built the city of Luoyi, which was the center of the world. Luoyi is present-day Luoyang. The ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, comparable to Chang'an! How can I not go to Luoyang? I have a cold heart. Luoyang in autumn is really cool! Location and transportation. Kaifeng is to the east of Zhengzhou, and Luoyang is to the west of Zhengzhou. If you want to see the ancient capital, go to Henan! There are two railway stations in Luoyang, Luoyang Station is in the north and Luoyang Longmen High-speed Railway Station is in the south. If you want to visit the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, it is recommended to stay near the Longmen High-speed Railway Station. 1. Longmen Grottoes, Luoyang The first stop of the trip is of course the famous Longmen Grottoes! The Longmen Grottoes are the world's largest and most numerous treasure trove of stone carving art, and have been rated by UNESCO as "the pinnacle of Chinese stone carving art." Longmen Grottoes can be said to be a must-visit place in Luoyang! If you have time, a night tour is also good! 2. White Horse Temple Luoyang White Horse Temple is the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism and the first official temple built after Buddhism was introduced to China. It is the "source of Buddhism" and "ancestral temple" of China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States. If you come to Luoyang and don’t visit the White Horse Temple, you will definitely regret it! 3. Guiyan Library This is a special place for taking photos. Not only can you take a break and read a book here, but you can also take beautiful check-in photos. The hotel we stayed in this time was near the Guiyan Library, so I discovered this treasure trove. It was a great hotel we booked! ! ! stay: Choosing to stay at Luoyang Huamao Chunsong Hotel was both inevitable and accidental, because we found that the hotel was right next to the high-speed rail station, the price was reasonable, and it was also very close to the performance of "Searching for the Goddess of Luo River" that we wanted to watch, so we booked it. This hotel is really very comfortable, with beautiful and high-end decoration, complete public facilities, comfortable and clean rooms, equipped with a coffee machine, and a small refrigerator with various drinks. The service is also very good. There is a butler to help you check in when you enter the door. 4. Luoyang Dahehui Luoyang Dahehui is the first urban cultural, commercial and tourism complex in Luoyang, which brings together a wealth of leisure and entertainment activities and provides everything from food, drink, entertainment and accommodation. Wander around Luoyang Dahehui, take a trip to the national style citywalk, and take in the magnificent scenery of the capital. There are many nice art installations in the park where you can check in and take photos. 5. Finding the traces of Luoshenfu The long-awaited "Searching for the Goddess of Luo River" really shocked me. The performance vividly presented the poignant and moving love story between Cao Zhi and the Goddess of Luo River through the perfect combination of modern technology and artistic performance. The plot is full of ups and downs, poetry and romance, making the audience feel as if they have traveled through time and space and found themselves in the world of ancient mythology. The performance was very interactive, the actors were very dedicated and performed brilliantly, there was a small interactive activity in the middle where they scattered peony seeds, I was really happy to get one, such a high level performance is something you can never get enough of. 6. Luoyi Ancient City Luoyi Ancient City is a very distinctive tourist attraction in the old city of Luoyang. The ancient city is based on the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, organically combining the classic and the modern. The ancient city of Luoyi is brightly lit at night, and the buildings are magnificent under the light. The lights in Luoyi Ancient City usually start to light up around 6 pm. When night falls, the entire ancient city seems to have traveled back to ancient times. It is a great time to take photos and check in! This trip back to Luoyang was really a perfect journey. It added a lot of surprises to my usual busy work. It was awesome! ! !
