based on 1612 reviews"The most worth visiting attraction in Luoyang! ! The whole scenic spot is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the grottoes are quite shocking. The brave wisdom and hard work of the ancients are really admirable! It is a pity that many Buddha statues have been destroyed by the Buddha movement, so that their heads have disappeared. I was very sad to see some stolen Buddha statues in the New York metropolis."Luoyang.Longmen Station/Municipal government7.2km from downtownFeatured in 2024 Trip.Best Asia 100Highlights: Royal grottoes which is a World Heritage siteShow Less - 8.64.6/58822 Review"If you are not driving by yourself, it is recommended to report a group. There are meeting points at multiple points in Luoyang City. If you count the ticket cable car traffic, in fact, the group is more cost-effective. Some scenic spots are worth a visit. The first cable car is a must. This money can't save the second journey. You can't sit on the second journey. Good physical strength. I have walked around and saw more scenery. The trekking poles are bought on the mountain. When the tour guide goes to the entrance of the scenic spot to change tickets, there will be people selling various items on the car. The trekking pole is 30 yuan. The first cable car is 5 yuan. After the first cable car is down, there may be a difference in 5 yuan. But there is really no need to do wrong. The money for buying a set of hiking items in the big head car is not as good as taking the cable car escalator throughout the whole journey. The price of things in the scenic area is definitely more expensive than the outside, but it is acceptable (5 yuan of mineral water, 12 instant noodles, 20 pieces of noodles at this level) I took the first cable car up and down. Everything else was about 5 hours after walking to the top of the mountain. The scenic spot is worth a visit without excessive force."Luanchuan.Laojunshan Scenic Area>100km from downtownNo. 1 of Summer OutingsHighlights: Luoyang Laojun Mountain is located in Luoyang, Henan, 2200 meters above sea level, formerly known as Jingshi Mountain. Laojun Mountain is a notable mountain in the Taoist tradition. Legend has it that Li Er, the founder of Taoism, lived here in his later years. Laojun Mountain's main attractions include Zhongtianmen Square, Jinding, Laojun Temple, Nantianmen, Yuhuangding, and Mazongling. Yuhuangding is the perfect place on Laojun Mountain to observe the surrounding landscape. Jinding and Mazongling are good places to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds.Show Less

based on 12 reviews"The heavenly hall is very good, the night view of heaven is very good, you can overlook the Lijing Gate, you can see the shadow of Datang Shengshi, the hall is very beautiful, worth the fare. The plot of the stage drama is slightly thin, but the actors are very serious."Luoyang.Old Town Center6.7km from downtownNo. 3 of Night AttractionsHighlights: The Sui Tang Luoyang City National Heritage Park is the core palace area of the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Song dynasties. The more famous attractions here include the Heavenly Hall and the Hall of Enlightenment that dates from the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty. The Mingtang scenic spot is located on the central axis of the Luoyang city in the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was the palace's main hall, where Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian dominated the state administration. The original version of the heavenly floater in Tsui Hark's 2013 film "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" can be found here.Show Less - 7.74.4/51627 Review"The building of Yingtianmen is magnificent and very stylish. It is a good choice to take pictures in Hanfu, especially the night scene can show the strong prosperity of Datang in the world at that time. The Tang Palace Leyan is well planned to carry out the performance in the form of a four camp competition program with white tigers and Zhuques, Qinglong Xuanwu. The actors and tourists can also interact, and the tourists have palace snacks to enjoy! It's so beautiful! It's just that there are fewer other small performances!"Luoyang.Old Town Center6.3km from downtownNo. 2 of Night AttractionsHighlights: Yingtianmen is the south gate of Luoyang City Palace City in Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was built in the first year of Daye in Sui Dynasty, that is, in AD 605. It has gone through four periods of Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty successively. The Jinbing was burnt and used for 523 years. Yingtianmen was an important place for holding major state celebrations and diplomatic activities at that time. If Yuanzheng, Winter Solstice, Chenle, banquets, pardoning sins, removing the old and clothing the new, when the tributary messengers of all countries, the guests of the four barbarians and other important celebrations, the emperors all came to listen to the government. Similar to the current Beijing Meridian Gate. This city gate has witnessed the prosperity of the dynasty when Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty entered the Eastern Capital, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty released King Fuyu of Baekje, the queen ascended the throne and became emperor, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received the eighth envoy from Japan to the Tang Dynasty. Every Shangyuan Festival, Yingtianmen Square will also hold a grand Baixi performance. When it is grand, the performance team will stretch from here to the main south gate of Guocheng, which is 4 kilometers away. Yingtianmen has different names in different periods: it was built in the early Sui Dynasty, according to the "Analects of Confucius", "Only the sky is the greatest, only Yao is the rule", taking the meaning of "taking the sky as the rule", so it is called "Zetianmen"; the first year of Tang Shenlong 705 During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian of Tang Dynasty, after avoiding Wu, he was honored as "The Great Sage Emperor Zetian" and renamed Yingtianmen. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, this building was renamed Wufeng Building, and Wufeng Building was used until the Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jinbing invaded the Central Plains, Luoyang became a battlefield and was severely damaged. Jinbing burned down the building. The city of Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was prosperous for more than 530 years, gradually faded out of people's sight. Yingtianmen is one of the buildings that can show identity and status in the Chinese etiquette system. "Yuan·Henan Chronicle" records: the main gate of the palace city is called Zetianmen, the gate has two views, the upper one is called Ziwei microscopic, the left and right are connected with the ques, and the ques are 120 feet high. Calculated at 29.4 centimeters per foot in the Tang Dynasty, equivalent to about 36 meters today, this magnificent tower is almost twelve or three stories high today. The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once looked south on Yingtianmen and wrote a poem: "Longmen Cui Dai Mei is opposite, Yishui Golden Line is a line". From Yingtianmen, you can see Longmen Yique, which is 15 kilometers away, showing the majesty of Yingtianmen.Show Less

- 7.34.7/5983 Review"The actors are very professional and dedicated, and the whole process is divided into several themes for about 90 minutes. Maybe the expectations are too high and it feels not as good as expected. Going out of the Wenchuang store can be picky, and the workmanship is still exquisite."Luoyang.Longmen Station/Municipal government2.9km from downtownNo. 1 of PerformancesHighlights: "Luoshui Tangtang, one Sichuan history, one Sichuan culture."BLACKBOW draws on "Luoyang Charm" as its spiritual symbolBased on Heluo cultureTelling the story of Luoyang using science and technology and artConstructing China’s first digital immersive performing arts"Looking for the Luo Shen Fu" is directed by Wang Zhiou, visual effects director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and BLACKBOW, the visual effects chief production team of the opening ceremony, serves as the chief producer. The venue uses a combination of digital imaging, mechanical devices, and live performances to show the story of reincarnation in the ancient capital of Luoyang. It integrates digital immersive performances, immersive museums, and multi-dimensional digital performances to comprehensively display the cultural history of Luoyang.Expert teamBlack Bow BLACKBOW specially invited Pan Lusheng from the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Guan Jun, Dean of the Calligraphy Court of the Chinese Academy of Arts, Sun Xiaochun, Dean of the School of Humanities of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Geng Shuo, associate professor of the School of Humanities of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, as experts on "Looking for the Luo Shen Fu". Based on Heluo culture, from the historical perspective of "ancient, present and new", we deeply explore the history, culture and humanities art of Luoyang "among the world", as well as the "radiation" and spread of Luoyang culture to the world.Digital immersive performing artsBy highly refining the core cultural symbols of Luoyang, Heigong breaks the traditional theater viewing model, uses non-linear narrative and a combination of full-dimensional three-dimensional performance areas, breaks through the limitations of time and space, and brings multi-dimensional sensory stimulation and emotional resonance to the audience.Experience the fully immersive traveling performance mode and walk in different time and space.

Witness the encounter between Cao Zhi and Luo Shen, experience the melancholy of a wanderer searching for his roots, and explore the state of mind of a man of letters...Saints, masters, and famous poets gathered together in Luoyang across thousands of years. The story of Chinese civilization begins here - the beginning of Xia and Shang Dynasties, when they cast tripods and carved inscriptions; the Duke of Zhou established his capital and made rituals and music; the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty were both literary and military; the Buddhist capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the wonder of Jialan; the prosperous Sui and Tang Dynasties, when all nations came to court; the Northern Song Dynasty In Xijing, celebrities gathered.immersive museumThe immersive museum relies on the form of "digital" cultural exhibitions to fully and three-dimensionally reproduce the glory of the ancient capital Luoyang.

The wheels of history are slowly passing by, and civilization has been flowing for thousands of years. We will return to the "world under heaven" in the minds of the ancients, awaken the sleeping Chinese civilization under this land, and trace the origins of civilization and explore the center of the world amidst the changing times and vicissitudes of life.ThonglorLuoyang was also the crossroads of transportation in ancient China, the intersection of water and land. The Sui and Tang Dynasty Canals, the Wanli Tea Road, the Prairie Silk Road, the Desert Silk Road, and the Maritime Silk Road were all transportation arteries from different periods that converged in Luoyang, forming a "five-way road to Luoyang" transportation pattern. They were not only economic and trade roads, but also cultural exchanges. The road has injected a steady stream of living water into the historical process of Luoyang's prosperity for thousands of years.Cultures collide and merge in exchanges. We will transform into ancient people, listen to the camel bells in the desert, walk through the ancient sand and sea roads, meet merchants and dealers in boats and carts, retrieve the "treasures" left behind by our predecessors along the way, and return to the "Five Roads" "Luo" the wonders and prosperity.God is a dream"If you ask about the prosperity and failure of ancient and modern times, please just look at Luoyang City."

What does the world in her eyes look like? From the perspective of peony, in the cycle of four seasons and the flow of time and space, we can explore the beauty of the country and feel the growth and decline of all things. We can see the scene of peonies in full bloom, which "moves the capital in blooming season", and experience flowers blooming step by step and poetry waving with sleeves like a giant.Heluo holds the lanternThe twenty-four solar terms are an important part of traditional culture. They reflect the wisdom and romantic feelings of ancient Chinese people, and embody the long history and profoundness of Chinese culture. In the "Heluo Lantern" session, Hei Gong integrates iconic Chinese culture such as Luo Shen Fu and the twenty-four solar terms into the outdoor space.

- 7.14.2/5649 Review"Going to the beautiful at night, there are light shows and singing and dancing performances, go upstairs to stroll around and take photos in the back garden for a walk, the performance is worth watching, the dance beauty and the lighting are matched, the eyes are dazzling, and the actors' performance is also very good!"Luoyang.Railway Station area6.9km from downtownHighlights: Jiuzhouchi Ruins Park covers an area of 288 mu, including three parts: the Daineidian area in the northwest of Miyagi, the part of Taoguang Garden in the north of Miyagi, and the Jiuzhouchi Royal Garden in the west of Miyagi in the middle and north of the city. There are 12 ruins in total. A variety of scientific means for protective display. We hope that through means and forms such as the original site display of ancient ruins and ground simulation, more people can learn about the style and appearance of the imperial gardens in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As the Imperial Palace of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jiuzhou Pool actually existed in history. According to the records of "Tang Liang Jingchengfang Kao", "Jiuzhou Pool, its pool is curved, and there are several islands in the pool, like Jiuzhou in the East China Sea, with an area of ten hectares, water depth of more than ten feet, birds and fish swimming, and flowers planting." In 1960, archaeologists discovered it while excavating Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Gongcheng District of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was composed of the central core area and many small cities around it. Jiuzhou Pool is located in the north-central part of Xige City on the west side of Miyagi Ouchi, accounting for about two-fifths of Xige City. The scope of "ten hectares of residence" in the records is based on the land-duty system of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was about 29.5 centimeters, and ten hectares was about 520,000 square meters, which was larger than the entire Xige City. However, the actual archaeological measurement of the water area of Jiuzhou Pool is about 139,250 square meters. Chinese classical garden art occupies a pivotal position in Chinese traditional architecture. The forms of Chinese landscape gardens, represented by literati gardens and royal gardens, are all aimed at pursuing the spiritual realm of nature, so as to achieve the aesthetic pursuit of "although made by man, it is like nature", and embody the cultural concept of "the unity of man and nature". This is completely consistent with the overall architectural concept of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As a royal garden, Jiuzhou Pool not only embodies the combination of nature and humanities, but also the concept of harmony and unity between man and nature, as well as the "ritual system" in traditional Chinese culture.Show Less

The explanation is meticulously integrated into the real-life drama interpretation. The interaction is rich and interesting. The process of "killing" is relatively small. There are more reasoning processes. It is more suitable from primary school students to adults. It is recommended to increase the camp plot to enrich the process of killing haha. I will bring my family to play next time."Luoyang.North airport area13.1km from downtownHighlights: Luoyang Ancient Art Museum is located in Lushan Town, Luoyang City.
