I found a newly opened, super affordable hotel in Luoyang!

You won't believe it! Finding a newly opened 3-star hotel in Luoyang that opened in '25, where you can relax and easily take amazing photos for your social media, is simply a huge surprise on my trip! This time, the Luoyue Chunmei Hotel I checked into was amazing from check-in to photo-taking, even saving me a lot of time visiting attractions. I've put together this travel photography guide, so anyone coming to Luoyang can just copy my itinerary! Hotel Public Areas: Chinese style, every casual shot is full of atmosphere I was amazed as soon as I entered the hotel lobby! The antique Chinese design paired with warm yellow lighting, elegant green plants next to wooden tea tables – stand here in a Hanfu, and without even trying to find the perfect angle, a click of the shutter gives you the feeling of "traveling back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty." The breakfast area is also perfect for capturing authentic lifestyle shots. Hold a bowl of authentic Hu La Tang, with the steaming breakfast stalls in the background, full of local flavor. You won't even need to think of a caption for your social media – "Waking up in Luoyang to a bowl of Hu La Tang." In the afternoon, you can also grab a free bottle of Haibi soda in the lobby, sit by the window, and take a silhouette photo. The sunlight streaming through the glass onto you creates a gentle and picturesque shot. Smart Guest Rooms: Comfort and Aesthetics Both Online Even more surprising when you open the guest room door! The whole-house smart control is so convenient. Just say "open the curtains," and sunlight instantly fills the room. The floor-to-ceiling window next to the 55-inch smart TV is an excellent photo spot. Take photos of the street view outside during the day and the city lights at night. Paired with the latex mattress in the room, you can lie down and rest when you're tired of shooting. I especially want to praise the details in the guest room: the regularly stocked purified water bottles are neatly arranged, perfect for taking "little travel joys" series photos. Even the packaging of the custom toiletries is very well-designed; just place them on the sink for a close-up shot, and the quality is instantly elevated. Surrounding Travel Photography: Explore Luoyang's Highlights from the Hotel Most importantly, when you open the platform to book this hotel, you'll find the price unbelievably low. After checking in, you'll discover that the newly opened hotel's decor is no worse than some major chains, with whole-house smart control! A standard mini-fridge! Laundry room, gym, and meeting rooms are all available! And the front desk even has free freshly ground coffee, folks, who understands this feeling... The biggest advantage of staying here is that everything is close by! It's a 10-minute drive to Luoyi Ancient City. In the evening, when the lanterns light up, take Hanfu night photos under the Wenfen Pagoda, and the atmosphere is instantly captivating. A taxi ride (starting fare) takes you to Yingtianmen. Before the 3D light show begins, stand under the Que Tower and take a panoramic photo, as if you've truly traveled back to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The next morning, it's just over a 20-minute drive to Longmen Grottoes. Take photos of the Lushena Buddha in the morning light, and every shot will be a stunning photo for your social media. If you want to take niche historical photos, it's a 10-minute drive to Luoyang Museum. Take a photo with the Northern Wei clay Buddha face and feel the charm of ancient artifacts. This trip to Luoyang, the Meihau Hotel completely exceeded my expectations! You can enjoy the comfort and smart features of a 3-star hotel while easily visiting nearby attractions, with a super high photo-taking rate. For those coming to Luoyang who want a hassle-free trip with great photos, this is the place to go. You can book it directly on Trip.com. I'll definitely stay here again next time I come to Luoyang!
