Luoyang Travel Guide: A Journey Through a Millennium of Prosperity!

✨ Stop 1: Longmen Grottoes A world cultural heritage site and the pinnacle of carving art! Step into the Jingang Temple and experience the exquisite Tang Dynasty Arhat reliefs up close. At night, there is also the breathtaking "Lights of Longmen" light show. 🏮 Stop 2: Sui and Tang Luoyang City (Yingtian Gate, Jiuzhou Pool) Put on Hanfu and dream your way back to the Tang Dynasty! The "Welcome to the Divine Capital" and "Flourishing Age Dance" performances at Yingtian Gate are super stunning. Jiuzhou Pool has 50+ performances throughout the day, and the "Jiuzhou Welcome Ceremony" and "Spring Outing Ballad" are breathtakingly beautiful. 🌸 Stop 3: Limited Peony Culture Festival Experience A must-see in April! The "Peony Market" in Longmen Ancient Street offers a taste of peony delicacies. Enjoy century-old peonies and the "Ode to the Flower Goddess" performance at Peony Pavilion. The whole city is immersed in a sea of flowers. 🍜 Stop 4: Xigong Xiaojie & Luoyi Ancient City A foodie paradise! The newspaper boy and the Shanghai-style band in Xigong Xiaojie are super fun. Luoyi Ancient City has bluestone streets and Hanfu photos, and the night view is gorgeous. 📌 Tips: ✅ There are the most activities during the Peony Culture Festival (April), so check the performance times in advance! ✅ Hanfu rentals are recommended around Luoyi Ancient City, which is super cost-effective at CNY 30–50/day~ 🌟 Luoyang is a city that writes poetry with history, waiting for you to explore!
