On the Road: Luoyang Museum - The Past and Present of the Ancient Capital of 13 Dynasties.

Luoyang Museum is a must-visit for those who want to learn about the history of Luoyang, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. From the east parking lot of Luoyang Museum, you can see the tall stone pillars in front of the main entrance of the museum. On the top platform, there are four dragons holding a big ball. After entering the museum and listening to the explanation, you will know that this is called the Celestial Pivot, which is the monument of Wu Zetian. It implies the "center of the world", which is a symbol of the prosperity of the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the center of the world. Although I know a little about the history of Luoyang, I was still amazed at the brilliant history of Heluo civilization after visiting the exhibition and seeing the rich collection and exquisite cultural relics.
