Enter in the afternoon and stay until dusk when warm yellow lights outline ten thousand Buddha statues. The smile of Vairocana Buddha appears more compassionate in the night, where history and art become awe-inspiring. 🔹 Lijing Gate Avoid the modern imitation architecture at Mingtang Paradise, instead touch the authentic ancient city walls beneath Lijing Gate, where you might hear Henan opera melodies drifting from old teahouses around the corner. 🔹 Jiuzhou Pool - Mingtang Paradise - Yingtianmen Gate At nightfall, the pool reflects pavilions and towers. Dress in Hanfu for "Tang Princess" photoshoots or watch the immersive Tang Palace Music Banquet performance, becoming too enchanted to find your way back. 🔹 Luoyi Ancient Town Don Hanfu and stroll through cobblestone alleys. Make wishes beneath Wenfeng Pagoda, find a round silk fan in intangible cultural heritage shops. As night falls, the aroma of street food and lantern lights at Cross Street weave a dreamlike tapestry of earthly delights. 🔹 Luoyang Museum From the ceremonial music of Xia-Shang-Zhou dynasties to the international tribute system of Sui-Tang golden age, all left their marks here. From the Xia Dynasty bronze jue with nipple patterns to Tang tri-colored camels, the museum's treasures connect the brilliant threads of Chinese civilization. 🔹 Laojun Mountain "Journey far to attend nature's grand banquet, behold the world's most splendid visage" Taoist serenity floats in Laojun Mountain's mist. Ride cable cars into the clouds where golden-roofed Taoist temples emerge faintly from the fog, as if stepping into an immortal realm.
