Luoyang Travel Guide 4 days and 3 nights per person 800

📸Top 5 must-visit attractions ❶ Longmen Grottoes (🎫90) ✅The moment the lights are turned on, it’s breathtakingly beautiful! Enter from the northwest gate at 4pm and wait for the lights to be turned on at 6pm. The Vairocana Buddha looks like a miracle in the twilight. ✅Hidden camera position: Dongshan Observation Deck after crossing the bridge, you can take panoramic photos + Yi River reflections ❷ White Horse Temple (🎫35) ✨The world's only Buddhist temple in China, India, Thailand and Myanmar! Pretending to be on vacation in Southeast Asia, the golden tower and red walls are casually photographed ㊙️ Tips: Arrive before 8 am to take photos of the deserted red wall, and drink free Zen tea at the Silent Tea House in the temple ❸ Luoyi Ancient City (free) 💃A time-travel holy land with 200% Hanfu concentration! It is recommended to rent Ming Dynasty Hanfu + pearl makeup. After 7pm, the lanterns will light up and it will turn into "Dream of Hualu" in seconds. ⚠️Avoid: The Hanfu shop outside the ancient city is more cost-effective, 79💰 includes makeup and hair + props 🍜Locals’ private food map ✔️Nanguan small bowl of beef soup (6:00-10:00) Add 1 yuan of oil-spinning cake, break it into pieces and soak it in the hot spring, and pair it with Haibi soda for the authentic way to drink it ✔️Guan Ji Seafood Restaurant Must order the pork slices with soup + fried meatballs, sour and spicy taste is very addictive ✔️Xiaojie Tianfu (open 24 hours) 3.5 yuan for Dandan noodles + 6 yuan for sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine dumplings, 20 yuan per person to eat until you are full 🏡Accommodation Easter Egg It is highly recommended to live near Yingtianmen! We stayed at the Jiujianfang B&B, where we could see the Heavenly Hall through the window. We took photos of the Hanfu costumes on the terrace at night, which was a beautiful night view (Figure 7) 🚌Traffic Tips ✔️Use the "Louis Easy Travel" APP to take the subway and travel all over the city for 1.8 yuan ✔️Shared electric car YYDS! The distance between attractions in the old town is within 3 kilometers ✔️There is a special cultural and tourism line between White Horse Temple and Longmen Grottoes, which is very convenient for 5 yuan 🌸April limited gameplay China National Flower Garden (🎫30) opens at 7am. I went straight to Yaohuang Pavilion to take pictures of the purple peonies. Wearing a horse-faced skirt and framing with the flowers is simply divine! ⚠️Avoid pit warning ❌Don’t buy anything related to peonies at Lijingmen! Locals buy them in Chanhe District for 5 yuan per pot. ❌Carefully choose a one-day trip to Laojun Mountain! The one-way trip takes 2.5 hours. It is recommended to stay at the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. ❌The Ancient Tomb Museum stops admittance at 16:30, so don’t get late! 💡My running route Day 1: Luoyang Museum → Longmen Grottoes → Yingtianmen Light Show Day 2: White Horse Temple → Sui and Tang City Ruins Botanical Garden → Luoyi Ancient City Day 3: One-day tour of Laojun Mountain (it is more worry-free to join a group) Day 4: Ancient Tomb Museum→Tian Tang Ming Tang→Return
