New ways to tour Luoyang, an immersive experience of the ancient capital's charm

Before coming to Luoyang, a friend recommended me to watch 'Tracing the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River,' which is China's first digital immersive performance, presenting the charm of Luoyang over the past thousand years through a blend of ancient and modern elements. There are no seats in the entire venue. The audience follows the staff's guidance and constantly changes scenes. Many scenes appear when we are not mentally prepared, creating unexpected effects. While experiencing the cultural charm of Luoyang, you can also interact closely with NPCs. When peony seeds fall from the sky, the whole venue becomes excited. Pick one up and plant it to see if it will bloom. During this process, famous figures such as the Goddess of the Luo River, Bai Juyi, Li Bai, Du Mu, Li Qingzhao, Xu Xiake, and Ji Kang appear one after another, joining the audience in a lively ancient and modern 'poetry and music grand ceremony.' Listen! That is the sound of craftsmen carving statues at the Longmen Grottoes. As the golden light flashes, the statues of the Buddha in the Lu She Na niche 'miraculously appear,' instantly giving a sense of time travel. Ticket price: 218 yuan There are multiple performances from morning to night every day. Currently, there are four performances on weekends and three on weekdays. Specific times can be checked when purchasing tickets online or inquiring at the ticket window. Nearby hotel recommendation: Luoyang Huamao Chunsong Hotel
