Booking in advance offers more options and better prices. ⭕You can stay near Yingtianmen Gate, which is conveniently located for transportation. 💢Suggestion 1: Luoyang is cold during the day now, so you need to wear a thick coat. November is winter, so wear a down jacket when visiting Luoyang and keep warm. 💢Suggestion 2: Luoyang is not expensive, and the locals are very nice and down-to-earth. There are also many discounts on tickets. 💢Suggestion 3: For Longmen Grottoes, tickets are 90 CNY. You can go in the afternoon to see the spectacular scenery during the day and at night when the lights are on. 💢Suggestion 4: White Horse Temple, as the first ancient temple in China, houses architecture from four countries and is worth visiting. The paper tickets for White Horse Temple are unique and worth keeping. 💢Suggestion 5: Luoyang Museum is a pleasant surprise. As a municipal museum, it has many cultural relics worth seeing! 💢Suggestion 6: You must try the soups in Luoyang: beef soup, mutton soup, and donkey meat soup. They are delicious and affordable, averaging 10 CNY per bowl. There's no need to go to Longlin Road; any roadside shop will offer delicious soup. 💢Suggestion 7: Minzhu Street is an old street with several old shops. Gaoji Youcha (oil tea) and the Guotie (fried dumplings) across the street are good choices. Freshly baked peony cakes are also inexpensive. 💢Suggestion 8: Luoyi Ancient City is a popular spot for Hanfu photography. It's not crowded during the day, but it gets busy at night after the lights are on. If you're not interested in photography, you can skip it.
