Stunning Replicas in Luoyang

While not the real ancient architecture from years before, the Lijing Gate in Luoyang (Henan Province in China) still makes for a decent afternoon pitstop if you've already hit all the main sites and have some time to spare. In just one or two hours, you can easily see everything you need to. Stroll along the old city streets, and take a peek at what all the vendors are selling - this can be everything from toys and souvenirs to traditional candy and other such delicacies. We actually had one of the best bowls of noodles I've tried in a long time - they were super simple stir-fried noodles, but were expertfly flavored and only 8RMB for a HUGE bowl that was more than enough for two people to share for a lighter lunch option.
