LONG LIN LU DI YI GU NIU ROU SHANG

The most satisfying meal in Luoyang, the first time I ate what Wu Lala recommended and it was not bad. The beef soup was super delicious. It was just served without salt, you can add it as needed. The price was different, 15 yuan a bowl, and it felt like the meat was not much. But it was very fragrant, and you could have unlimited refills after drinking it. Many aunties who lived nearby brought their own pots to fill it up. The shredded pancakes were average, but it was not bad to go to the next door to buy a crispy oil twist to go with it. If I didn't have to go back to the hotel to work after eating, I really wanted to sit and slowly refill a few bowls

If you come to Luoyang and don't drink a bowl of beef soup, you will be embarrassed to say that you have been to Luoyang. With the crazy recommendation of my friend, I came to the first beef soup restaurant on Longlin Road. I heard that it is very popular on weekdays. I arrived at 11:30 on Saturday noon, and there were not many people. Environment: I heard that this store has been open for more than 20 years. You know, it is an old store, so the requirements for hygiene and other things are not so high. Beef soup^ I ordered a 20 yuan beef soup. My friend said that his family has 8 yuan, but I didn't see it on the self-service machine. Maybe it was cancelled. It is recommended not to put chili oil. Although the chili oil is not spicy, it covers the taste of the beef soup. It tastes oily. You can put less. It tastes good when soaked in shredded pancakes. The meatballs are 6 for one yuan, and the crunchy teeth are okay. In general, it is okay. It is not so amazing, but it is not a thunder. It is quite anti-hunger. Those who like to drink beef soup can come and try it.

Super pure beef soup, sprinkled with chopped green onions, it is very fragrant and the soup is delicious

Luoyang is definitely a city worth visiting, both in terms of cost and accommodation. Let's experience it together! 1. First, let me mention the attractions we visited: Laojun Mountain, Longmen Grottoes, Tiantang Temple, and Baima Temple. That's basically it. Since we were traveling with elders, the pace wasn't too fast. We had a total of 4 days: one day for Laojun Mountain, one day for Longmen Grottoes, one day for Baima Temple, Tiantang Temple, and one day for rest on the last day. (For younger travelers, a 2-day trip would be perfect: one day for Laojun Mountain, one day for Baima Temple in the morning, one day for Longmen Grottoes, and one day for Tiantang Temple in the evening.) 2. We stayed near Yiyong Street, very close to the ancient city—just a 2-minute walk. The prices near Yiyong Street are also very low. Because it's not in the tourist area, but closer to residential areas, getting around is very convenient. In Luoyang, the four of us mostly took the bus (super convenient!), costing only 1 yuan per person, which was enough to basically explore the entire city by bus. 3. Classic recommendations: Laojun Mountain is worth a visit; Longmen Grottoes are great for photos; Baima Temple has a long history and strong Buddhist atmosphere (the street in front of Baima Temple is full of vendors selling things like 18-bead bracelets, etc. Don't take it too seriously, it's okay to buy for fun, remember to bargain, you can bargain for everything. If you really want an 18-bead bracelet, it's recommended to go inside the temple, but be prepared to queue for a long time). Tiantang Mingtang must be visited at night; we only took photos outside and didn't go inside. For young people, taking photos is enough. Then there are many costume rentals in front of Tiantang Mingtang; those who like costumes can try them on, remember to bargain. 4. Finally, a food recommendation: The most unforgettable thing about Luoyang for me is the beef soup! My goodness, a bowl for only 10 yuan has a ton of beef! (I was worried the owner would lose money, so they even gave us some shredded flatbread to soak in the soup – it's incredibly delicious. Refills are free!) I highly recommend trying it. We went to the first beef soup shop on Longlin Road. Next door is Yiyong Street's stir-fried chicken (they only open at 5 pm, so don't go too early). You can try it; it has a savory, spicy flavor. That's all for now! I hope this information is helpful! #LuoyangTourism #LongmenGrottoes #FatFlower'sTravelDiary #LuoyangWhiteHorseTemple #LuoyangTravelGuide
