Luoyang—If you enjoy the rich history, the art of stone carving, and the scenery of an ancient capital, a cultural tour is a must! Within the sprawling "Ancient Capital of Thirteen Dynasties," the Longmen Grottoes and Luoyang Museum are top destinations. Both sites not only embody Chinese civilization, but also offer a glimpse into Luoyang's peonies and rich cultural heritage. The museum's exhibits, like the peonies adorning the streets, are a delightful surprise for travelers! 🌟 Recommended Itineraries 1. Longmen Grottoes Renowned as one of the pinnacles of Chinese stone carving, the Longmen Grottoes are a must-see for Luoyang history and culture enthusiasts. Walking along the grottoes' trails, you'll marvel at the tens of thousands of Buddha statues and exquisite reliefs, each awe-inspiring in their craftsmanship. Remember to purchase your ticket (¥90) in advance and pay attention to the entrance hours (open until 9:00 PM, closing at 8:00 PM). The grottoes are illuminated for a truly unique experience at night. 📍Address: No. 13, Longmen Middle Street, Luolong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province ⏰Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM year-round (ticket sales stop at 7:30 PM, last admission at 8:00 PM) Tips: The Longmen Grottoes are quite large, so comfortable shoes are recommended. During peak season (especially peony season), plan ahead to avoid ticket prices and crowds. 2. Luoyang Museum If you prefer a quiet moment to admire historical artifacts, the Luoyang Museum is an ideal choice. Its rich collection showcases Luoyang culture from ancient times to the present, especially its bronze artifacts, pottery figurines, and Tang Dynasty sancai pottery, which are truly worth exploring. The modern design and detailed presentation of the exhibition halls make it a great place for children or those with a taste for art. Be aware of the opening hours: the museum is closed on Mondays and open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last admission at 4:30 PM) on other days, making it a great choice for a morning or afternoon visit. 📍Address: Northwest corner of the intersection of Nietai Road and Wenbo Road, Luolong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province ⏰Opening Hours: Tuesday-Sunday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last admission 4:30 PM), closed on Mondays Tips: The museum is easily accessible, so taking the bus or taxi is recommended to save time finding parking. The museum offers simple dining options and rest areas for refueling after a tiring day. 🎉 Practical Tips for Your Luoyang Travel Guide - Itinerary Planning: The two attractions are located close to each other, making it easy to fit them in a single day (spend the morning at the museum and the afternoon exploring the grottoes to avoid the crowds). - Food Recommendations: There are many authentic Henan cuisine restaurants near the Longmen Grottoes, including shuixi, roasted gluten, and Luoyang beef soup. Near the Luoyang Museum, there are many light meals and modern Chinese cuisine. - Peony Season: From April to May each year, the scenery of Luoyang's Peony Alley is breathtakingly beautiful. We recommend checking it out! - Outfit Tips: Luoyang can be windy in spring and autumn, so bring a jacket. There's a lot of walking in the scenic area, so bring comfortable shoes. - Ticket Purchase: Booking online is more convenient and helps you avoid lines at the venue. ⚡ If you're as fascinated by historical sites as I am and appreciate the romance of flower season, why not take a weekend trip to Luoyang for an in-depth cultural tour? It's definitely worth it! #LuoyangCultureTour #LongmenGrottos #MuseumCheck-In #PeonySeason #HenanItinerary
