How to have fun at Yingtianmen in Luoyang during your trip to Henan?

Yingtian Gate, where Wu Zetian held her enthronement ceremony, is also the last stop of this Luoyang city tour. Not only did Wu Zetian hold her coronation ceremony here, changing the name of Tang to Zhou and calling herself "Emperor of Great Zhou", but Emperor Yang Guang of Sui also held her founding ceremony here, Emperor Gaozong of Tang issued an edict to release the King of Buyeo of Baekje here, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received the Japanese envoys to Tang Dynasty here. It can be seen that the location of Yingtian Gate must have been a Feng Shui treasure land that was repeatedly surveyed by officials from the Ministry of Rites at that time. 🌈Attractions: Today's Yingtian Gate is no longer the original one. It was rebuilt on the site, using the style of ancient Tang Dynasty buildings to restore the historical style to the greatest extent. Yingtian Gate adopts the architectural layout of "two pavilions and three towers". It is 137 meters long from east to west, and the towers on both sides are 36.4 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a 13-story building today. This architectural form is the highest level of city gate construction in ancient China, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power. Standing at the foot of the Yingtian Gate Tower and looking up at the towering city walls and towers, a feeling of powerlessness rises from the bottom of my heart. Our own insignificance seemed vulnerable in front of the walls of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, fully demonstrating the demeanor of China as a powerful country in our time. I can't help but think back to the time when the envoys to the Tang Dynasty who met Emperor Xuanzong here described the prosperous Tang Dynasty after returning. But since then, the answer should be self-evident regarding the Tang Dynasty-style buildings that have sprung up there. Yingtianmen is not only a building, but also a living history book. It witnessed the glory of the Sui and Tang dynasties and carries the memory of Chinese civilization. I hope everyone can deeply feel the profoundness of history and the charm of culture here. 🎟️Ticket information: Single ticket: starting from 30 yuan. Adult ticket: 58 yuan.
