WH1962:“Xiangyu Castle, built for masonry and earth structure, was built by the Ming Dynasty Household Department Shangshu Sun Juxiang and Sun Dingxiang brothers, completed in Ming Chongxu seven years, is a typical representative of China's Ming Dynasty fortifications. The Xiangqi Ancient Fort was built on the hillside. The ancient castle city was built with a maze of "bead-like" and "corridor-style" Tibetan soldiers caves, which were extremely beautiful. Especially the Xiangqi Ancient Fort Labyrinth-style Tibetan soldiers caves and underground passages, which were easy to guard and difficult to attack. Li Zicheng was unable to overcome for seven days and seven nights. Its strength was amazing! The large number of Tibetan caves seems to be silently telling the past bonfire years, full of a heavy sense of history. There is also a unique architectural form like a honeycomb, which is very visual and impressive.”
M49***30:“Jincheng Qinshui Liu Family Residence. It takes a while to walk around the flat ground. The ticket is 59 yuan. Seniors are free at 65 yuan, but they still need to go to the ticket office to exchange tickets. There is no one to charge at the parking lot near the entrance after the ticket office (maybe it's too cold). It's a cheap education point. There is a Guand Temple on the left side of the entrance. There are many ancient houses inside. There are basically pictures and texts on the walls. You have to turn on and off the lights yourself, or take a better flashlight. The mobile phone light is not bright enough. It is indeed poor. There are no ancient furniture. There are statues of immortals playing chess and Kuixing on the gate tower?”
Opening hours: 08:00-17:30 (admission ends at 16:30)
M31***23:“The package of Huangcheng Xiangfu, Guoyu Ancient City and Haihui Academy. Huangcheng Xiangfu is still very good. Guoyu Ancient Castle is not big, and the main thing is to experience the underground passage. Haihui Academy sees the twin towers. One day's itinerary is just right.”
Opening hours: 08:00-21:00(Tickets available until 19:30; admission ends at 20:00)
M81***86:“Our team was led by Chen Chen, a teacher from Elephant Cultural Tourism. Every trip was a spiritual journey. Chen Chen was sincere, professional, and attentive. He encouraged us as we walked, encouraging us to calm down, eliminate distractions, and abandon impetuousness. We passed the Western Hills Grottoes: Binyang Three Caves, Ten Thousand Buddha Caves, Lotus Cave, Fengxian Temple, and looked up at the Oriental Mona Lisa, the Vairocana Buddha. The 2.5-hour explanation carried thousands of years of history and art.”
Opening hours: 08:00-18:00(Tickets available until 16:00)
st z:“It is worth visiting here, but the development of the scenic area is not perfect, especially the highest peak, Nantianmen, is empty. The scenic area has a beautiful environment, and there are few attractions worth visiting, but the original ecological scenery is very beautiful. It is worth visiting for tourists who are willing or like natural scenery. But you must bring rain gear, as the weather is unpredictable.”
Opening hours: 07:00-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00)
微光若何:“Yuntaishan Scenic Area is large and beautiful, with great summer discounts and tickets valid for three days, though it can be quite crowded. The view towards the clouds is still a nice and relaxing experience.”
Opening hours: Standard time 08:00-17:30 (admission ends at 17:00), Daylight saving time 08:00-18:30 (admission ends at 18:00)
Simon:“The Feihong Tower is quite stunning. The glazed tower body sparkles when the weather is good. Guangsheng Temple is divided into the upper temple, the lower temple, the Water God Temple and the Huoquan. The murals in the Water God Temple need to be opened on the phone to see clearly. It is recommended to find an explanation, otherwise it will be a quick tour.”
Opening hours: 09:00-22:30 (admission ends at 22:30)
祖国未统一心情很郁闷:“The night view is very shocking and very beautiful. There are young ladies in Hanfu everywhere. It is a good place to take pictures and check in. There is a museum of the ruins of Yingtianmen below, where you can see the ruins of Yingtianmen in the Tang Dynasty. There is also a performance of Tang Palace Music Banquet in the Que Tower above. To be honest, the performance is average and not very worthwhile, but it is really recommended to go to the Que Tower to take pictures.”
Opening hours: 09:00-18:00 (admission ends at 17:30)
M41***78:“Taking my six-year-old to the Luoyang Museum, I was initially worried she wouldn't be able to stand still. But Xiaoya, the guide, unexpectedly transformed the experience into a "historical adventure"! For three hours, she used her patience, compassion, and profound knowledge to transform the artifacts into stories that spoke to the child. 💐
She bent over, squatted, and half-knelt to connect with the child at eye level, even holding her hand to look at things she couldn't see. Even when the child asked seemingly irrelevant questions, she smiled and offered a variety of answers and praise. The tenderness in her voice touched me. It turns out that patience isn't just about perfunctory responses; it's about embracing a child's curiosity as a treasure. I asked my daughter why she could listen so intently for three hours, and she said it was because Xiaoya's explanations were so captivating! Whether it was pottery, bronze artifacts, or statues, she transformed the boring details of the era and craftsmanship into something the child could understand. She always found the best angles for the child to view, and even used a tablet to show details about the artifacts and expand on the subject!
For three hours, Xiaoya showed me that good explanations aren't about imparting knowledge; they're about igniting a child's eyes. Next time I take my kids to a museum, I look forward to meeting someone like this who "puts love into their explanations."
Parents who have taken their kids to the Luoyang Museum highly recommend Xiaoya; it's an excellent value!”
Opening hours: 08:00-18:00 (admission ends at 16:00)
M24***12:“I drove from Quwo by myself, and the mountain road took 2 hours. After climbing the mountain, I wandered around and found a treasure stream. I was amazed by the clear stream. It was all pebbles, so there was no need to worry about the children getting scratched. Is this our Shanxi? ? ? ? I have only seen this kind of stream in Zhejiang before. The children played in the stream for almost two hours. They liked it very much.”
