If you don’t want to travel too far with the kids on weekends, take a one-day road trip along the Yellow River.

Here! Adults can chill and relax while kids play so hard they won't want to go home!🎋 💼Who says traveling with kids means being a "human surveillance camera"? At Bamboo Dream Town, you can finally achieve "kids play their way, I relax mine"! Just an hour's drive from Luoyang - navigate to Bamboo Dream Town. ✅ Bamboo Forest Healing Trail: Wander through 260 acres of bamboo oxygen bar, listen to rustling leaves, breathe bamboo-scented air. Get kids close to nature digging for bamboo shoots. My child waved their "treasure" shouting: "Mom look! I found treasure!". 🌿 Intangible Cultural Heritage Bamboo Weaving: Famous local craft. Ask the homestay owner to guide you and your child in weaving bamboo strips - the mix of bamboo fragrance and sunshine is overwhelmingly therapeutic! 🔥 Unpowered Playground: Slides, swings, trampolines - perfect for kids to burn energy!

Who would have thought that starting from Luoyang, you'd encounter such a perfect dating and leisure spot! A few days ago, I set out from the Relais & Châteaux Hotel (Luoyang Railway Station Metro Station Branch) to Xinxiang People's Park. While strolling in the park, I accidentally discovered an incredibly creative teahouse. It wasn't the weekend, so the teahouse was quiet and peaceful with few people. Although it wasn't crowded, the creativity of this teahouse was truly impressive. The tea here is very affordable, just ten yuan per cup. If you're coming from Luoyang for a date at Xinxiang People's Park, why not stop by this teahouse? Sip fragrant tea and enjoy a pleasant chat. If you're on a blind date in the park, instead of awkwardly walking around struggling for conversation, take a seat here—the atmosphere will instantly change. But if you're not even willing to spend ten yuan on tea, then forget it. The teahouse is easy to find—just head north past the bridge near the zoo, and you can navigate by searching for the "Good People Hall." If you're taking an evening stroll from Luoyang, you might as well drop by the teahouse—it could bring you a uniquely wonderful experience!

Finally made it! A cool and oxygen-rich day trip to Chongdugou Valley🍉 - super photogenic! Here's your guide👇👇👇 📍: Chongdugou Scenic Area ☕️: Less than 2 hours drive from Ruilai Yue Hotel Luoyang (near Luoyang Railway Station Metro) 🎫: ¥120 (self-driving allowed into scenic area, most convenient to park at Bodhi Tree area) 🚠: ¥60 one-way for Yunding Cable Car (from Jinji River to Dicul River - the only one I took) 🚌: ¥12 (Dicul River Scenic Area to Central Plaza), ¥8 (Central Plaza to Bodhi Tree parking area) 🗺️: Get a free guide brochure at ticket office - highly recommended! I basically followed the triangular route marked on it.

The hiking trail features countless waterfalls of various sizes - quite spectacular! Maximum photo potential! Though summer is hot, you can play in water almost everywhere along the way - refreshingly cool (almost cold)! Bring sandals!

Main highlights there: Colorful Lotus Pond and Water Curtain Fairy Palace Waterfall. After exploring, took the ¥12 shuttle to Central Plaza. — The ¥8 shuttle from Central Plaza to Bodhi Tree parking leaves early - I missed it and had to walk 1.2km back to my car... exhausting🥹 — But overall an absolutely joyful day!

A breathtaking sunset painted the sky in brilliant colors, so beautiful it was impossible to look away. In an instant, the previously gloomy atmosphere was completely transformed by this spectacular sunset.

Still worried about not having a place to go on the weekend? Don't miss this natural oxygen bar! Detailed route from Luoyang city Depart from the Relaxy Hotel (Luoyang Railway Station Subway Station Branch) and set the navigation to Shangu Qiacha. When driving, the initial section of the road is relatively smooth, but when approaching the destination, there are more small roads, the route is winding, and the road is narrow, which is a small test of driving skills. It is strongly recommended to drive a car with a higher chassis, otherwise it is easy to scrape the chassis when encountering potholes. Although the journey is not far, it only takes half an hour to drive, but this small road may make you feel a little long. This place is not very big, but the environment is great! Sitting by the sparkling blue lake, you can quietly space out for a whole day. The ticket is CNY 68, which includes coffee and a small cake. The clerk is very honest and directly admits that it is pre-made (haha). There are barbecues, simple meals, and barbecue ingredients available here. Of course, you can also bring your own delicious meals. This place is super pet-friendly, so bring your furry kids out to have fun! There are also rock climbing and kayaking activities to experience, but these are charged separately. Whether it's a parent-child trip, a couple's date, a girlfriends' gathering, or a company team building, this is an excellent choice. Tips: For taking pictures, it is recommended to wear light-colored clothes, and the photos taken will be more brilliant! Here, you can not only get close to nature, but also leave beautiful photos, which is so worth it!

I found the perfect niche attraction for my vacation, "Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area." It wasn't too crowded, and it wasn't as bad as other reviews said. It was a bit tiring because it was all steps, but there were many green plants, so there wasn't much sun. We hiked to the top in about three hours with a few stops. We drove from the Ruilaiyue Travel Hotel (Luoyang Railway Station Subway Station Branch) to Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area. It took about 1.5 hours along the highway to reach the scenic area gate. The road conditions were good, so it was easy to drive there. If you take public transportation, you can take a bus from the Luoyang Bus Station to Jiyuan, and then transfer to Wangwu Mountain! There weren't many restrooms on the way up the mountain, but we were sweating the whole time, so we didn't need them. There were a few stalls selling supplies, such as water and biscuits, at acceptable prices. There were many food vendors at the top of the mountain selling instant noodles, grilled sausage, corn, etc. Hot water was free, which was great! This was a parent-child trip. My son was over 7 years old and in good shape, so we only took the sightseeing bus and walked up the mountain on the boardwalk. We took the cable car down the mountain. If you have elderly people and small children, you can take the sightseeing bus and cable car up and down the mountain. Just book your tickets one day in advance! Let me tell you about the best part: The road was full of greenery, the air was great, and the oxygen content was high. It was a great escape from the city. We even ran into wild monkeys, which were super cute 🐵🐵🐵, and heart-shaped wild wolfberries. There were many activities in Wangwu Old Street at the foot of the mountain during the May Day holiday. If you have time, you can take a stroll!

Are you still struggling to find a camping spot with few people and beautiful scenery? There is a niche and free treasure camping spot in Luoyang. Take advantage of the fact that not many people know about it and hurry up! Even if you go on holidays, you can easily avoid the crowds. Here, you can play in the water and see flocks of lambs, surrounded by large meadows and greenery. In a trance, it seems like you are in distant "Xinjiang." Sitting by the gurgling river, listening to the pleasant sound of the water, and tasting the food, it is simply too pleasant. Set the destination to Dongziya from Ruilai Yue Travel Hotel (Luoyang Railway Station Subway Station) on the navigation. After seeing the river, walk along the road to find your favorite camping spot. But be careful, you need to carry your equipment to the grass by yourself, because it is a stone road, and it is not easy to pull a camping cart. 📝Friendly tips: ❶There is no drinking water source here, remember to bring your own purified water or mineral water in advance. ❷In such a beautiful place, we must achieve traceless camping. There are no trash cans around, please clean up all the trash and take it away when you leave. ❸In fact, there is a small road that you can drive directly to the camping lawn, but it is not displayed on the navigation. If you don't carry many things, just follow the navigation in the article; if you have a lot of things, after arriving at the navigation location, go to the opposite bank of the river first, walk along the small road to the main road, and then drive the car in along the small road you have walked. ❹If you are driving, it is best to drive an off-road vehicle. This road is narrow and broken, and there is also a section of stone road. It is recommended that cars with low chassis park on the opposite side. (Schematic diagram on the last picture) ❺If you are with children, remember to bring sandals that can be used to step on the water, and let your children wear quick-drying clothes or bring a few more sets of clothes to change. Don't forget to bring a water gun and let your children enjoy the fun. With such a great camping spot, why not invite your friends and family to experience it together?
