[2025 Luoyang Attraction] Travel Guide for The Luoyang Museum of Ancient Tombs (Updated Jun)

Once you say spring is not late, I will be in Luoyang. This city hides thousands of years of stories, and every inch of land tells the weight of history. I have praised Luoyang ten thousand times in my heart, but none of them can compare to seeing it with your own eyes. Be sure to leave a spring for Luoyang, where you can encounter the romance and beauty that belongs to spring. When the magnolia flowers on Wangchunmen Street bloom wantonly, and the rich floral fragrance fills the air, it is the gentlest opening of spring. Walking among them is like straying into a dream of flowers. The Chanhe Zhuying is like a dreamy and realistic picture scroll. The cherry blossoms are blooming, the breeze is blowing, and the petals are falling, making it so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it. When the peonies are in full bloom, the entire Luoyang is immersed in the beauty of the country, which is the well-deserved highlight of spring. Each peony proudly stretches its petals, showing the world the grace and luxury of the "king of flowers". 3 days and 2 nights of super exciting route planning DAY1: Exploration in the long river of history and the shock of night tour of Longmen In the morning, plunge into the Luoyang Museum, which is like a treasure house of history. From the stone tools and pottery of the ancient times to the exquisite cultural relics of various dynasties, watching it all the way is like traveling through time and talking to the ancients. In the afternoon, move to the Sui and Tang Grand Canal Museum to explore the past and present of this great canal and feel the wisdom and spirit of ancient water conservancy projects. At dusk, go to Zhuying Pagoda and quietly admire the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the pagoda, which is like a dream. When night falls, start a night tour of Longmen. The night view of Longmen Grottoes is amazing. Although the night tour is not yet open this year (the park opened on the Spring Equinox last year), it is worth looking forward to. Enter from "Dashimen" at about 5 o'clock, and visit all the way. When you walk to the "Lifotai" on the opposite bank of the Lushena Buddha, you can just wait for the lights to be lit, take a panoramic view of the Buddha, and feel the charm of the intersection of history and light. DAY2: The fusion of ancient temple Zen and urban fireworks In the morning, go to Baima Temple. This ancient temple with a thousand years of history is filled with Sanskrit sounds. The red walls and green trees show tranquility and peace. The unique Southeast Asian-style architecture in the temple is also an excellent place to take photos. In the afternoon, go to Yanan Road to start a leisurely city walk. The plane trees on the street are full of green, the light and shadow sway on the ground, walk into a literary shop, order a cup of mellow coffee, and enjoy a pleasant afternoon. In the evening, come to Lijingmen. The ancient city gate is more majestic under the light. Walking into the city gate, you can plunge into the lively snack street and taste all kinds of special delicacies. Then go to Jiuzhou Pond, Mingtang Paradise, and Yingtianmen to enjoy the beautiful light show and immerse yourself in the glory of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. DAY3: Go to Laojun Mountain to meet a fairyland on earth Be sure to leave a day for Laojun Mountain. When you step into this misty world, you will feel like you are in a stunning feast on earth. Climb along the winding mountain road, surrounded by lush mountains and forests, and breathe in the fresh natural atmosphere. When you reach the Golden Summit, you can overlook the continuous mountains, and the clouds and mist are surging under your feet, like a fairyland. When night falls, the Golden Summit is brightly lit, and it instantly transforms into a real-life Cloud Top Heavenly Palace. The shocking beauty will make you feel that all the hard work of climbing is worth it. Super practical travel TIPS 1. Night tour of Longmen: Pay close attention to the opening hours and plan your trip in advance so as not to miss the beautiful scenery of the lights. 2. Museum reservation: Be sure to make a reservation on the relevant official platform in advance. For Luoyang Museum, you must start early during holidays to avoid making a trip for nothing. 3. Laojun Mountain: Prepare comfortable shoes and warm clothes. The temperature on the top of the mountain is low, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. 4. Accommodation: It is recommended to stay at the Ruilai Yue Travel Hotel Shizi Street Branch. The location is excellent and the travel is convenient, allowing you to better experience the local customs of Luoyang. 5. Distribution of attractions in the city: The attractions in the city are concentrated. Allow enough time to go to the Ancient Tomb Museum and Baima Temple, and you can check the transportation routes in advance. 6. Stroll on Yanan Road: Choose a sunny afternoon, stroll slowly and leisurely, and enjoy the fun of taking photos and checking in. Flower viewing schedule, don’t miss the most beautiful flowering period Cherry blossoms: late March - early April, recommended viewing spots: Zhuying Pagoda, Sui and Tang Botanical Garden, Luopu Park, when the blooming cherry blossoms will weave a pink dream for you. Peony: early April - mid-April, Wangcheng Park, Guohua Garden, and Sui and Tang Botanical Garden are all excellent viewing spots, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the peony. This spring, pack your bags and head to Luoyang for a date with spring and history!

I just returned from Luoyang with my 5-year-old, and this guide, born from "blood and tears," is the perfect remedy for museum boredom, exhausting sightseeing, and toddler meltdowns! 🎭 Must-See Attractions: Bringing History to Life ✅ Longmen Grottoes Night Tour: Avoid the daytime crowds! Enter after 18:30 and witness the mesmerizing, illuminated Buddha statues. My child had more fun searching for lotus patterns with a flashlight than playing a treasure hunt. Hidden Gem: There's a rubbing activity (CNY 20) at the Dongshan Grottoes exit, where kids can create their own Buddha hand rubbings. ✅ Sui and Tang Luoyang City Script Kill: The immersive play "Finding Luoyang Adventure" at the Mingtang and Tiantang complex lets kids decipher Empress Wu Zetian's letters with NPCs and even dress up in Tang Dynasty costumes for photos. Tip: Don't buy the combined ticket! Purchasing separate tickets for the Yingtian Gate 3D projection show (free) and the "Prosperity on the Pond" performance at Jiuzhou Pond is sufficient. 🌿 Summer Escapes: Nature and Culture Combined ✅ Luanchuan Bamboo Sea Zoo: Watch the giant panda Lingyan munch on bamboo, feed alpacas from the sightseeing bus, and let the kids enjoy the mountaintop glass slide (mine went on it three times!). Fun Fact: There's an animal behavior show at 3 pm, where a parrot stealing my husband's wallet had everyone in stitches. ✅ Sui and Tang City Ruins Botanical Garden: Rent Hanfu (CNY 10) and take photos with the "internet-famous" Chinese tallow tree, and teach your kids to create peony patterns with fallen leaves. Best Time: Wednesday mornings are less crowded, and you might even catch a free plant lecture from a study tour group. 🎨 Interactive Fun: Hands-on Activities ✅ Ancient Tombs Museum Mural Copying: Free workshops at 10:00/14:00 allow kids to use mineral pigments to color Tang Dynasty maid murals. The teacher praised my child's color scheme, comparing it to Dunhuang frescoes. Note: Book one day in advance via their official WeChat account and bring a light jacket as the tombs are cool. ✅ Erlitou Archaeological Blind Box: Digging for "bronzeware" (CNY 39) at the Xia Dynasty Ruins Museum is more engaging than Lego! The unearthed replica bronze plates can be used as keychains. Bonus: There's a hidden task at the AR glasses rental counter in the museum. Collect three cultural relic fragments to exchange for a woodcut bookmark. 🍜 Foodie Delights: Taste the Culture ▪️ Xigong Xiaojie Guotie: Go at 4 pm to avoid the queue! Have your child count the pleats on the guotie (the standard is 21) to win a free sour plum juice. ▪️ Luoyang Water Banquet, Kid-Friendly Version: Order a mini Luoyang Yancai at the Lion Tower Restaurant. The soup bowl is bigger than a child's face, and everyone on my social media feed is asking if I visited a land of giants. ▪️ Yingtian Gate Ice Cream: The peony-shaped ice cream (CNY 15) is perfect for photos. It melts quickly, so remember to bite off the petal tips first. 🚌 Transportation Hacks: Save Your Legs and Money ✅ Retro Tram: Bus route 53 goes directly to the Longmen Grottoes. With its wooden carriages and informative broadcasts, my child called it a "walking museum." ✅ Shared Electric Bikes: Bikes with child seats on the back are perfect for a relaxing ride along the Luo River in Luopu Park, enjoying the evening breeze and the scent of pagoda tree blossoms. Remember, focus on experiences over checking off attractions. The essence of family travel is growing together!

[See the Central Plains in advance·Luoyang·The place of eternal rest and the place of dreams] Braving the scorching heat, we came to the Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum for a visit with great interest. First of all, the planning and design of this museum is great. It displays tombs of various dynasties in a centralized manner, and uses a large number of pictures and texts to give a fairly comprehensive introduction to the Chinese burial system. A lot of effort has been put into it. However, the real things inside were too simple and crude, and there was almost no eye-opening feeling. It was far from the feeling of being dazzled by the brick-carved tombs in Macun, Shanxi a few days ago. Fortunately, the mural area is quite good. The exquisite brick carvings from the Jin Dynasty and the celestial map from the Western Han Dynasty are both surprising, which makes up for my wounded heart! Tombs of various dynasties: On both sides of the passage are 25 typical tombs from the Han Dynasty to the Song and Jin Dynasties (nine dynasties: Western Han, Xinmang, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, Tang, Song, and Jin). The content covers tomb architecture, brick carving art, tomb murals, unearthed cultural relics, etc., revealing some laws of the evolution of tombs and their burial objects from the Western Han Dynasty to the Song and Jin Dynasties in the Heluo area from their origin to development to popularity. Mural Museum: Displays 53 groups of more than 90 tomb murals and painted brick carvings unearthed in Henan Province (mainly Luoyang area) in chronological order. There are 15 mural tombs spanning eight dynasties (periods), including the Western Han Dynasty, Xinmang Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty, and Jin Dynasty. 📝Note tips: Make an appointment in advance and visit for free🆓

The museum with the heaviest yin energy The Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum, the world's first museum dedicated to ancient tomb archaeology, is the only one in China that integrates imperial mausoleums, ancient tombs and their affiliated cultural relics, stone carvings, and ancient murals into one large-scale tomb museum. It has relocated and restored 25 ancient tombs. Walking through the tomb passages and chambers, every brick you step on is an antique, offering an experience akin to the 'Grave Robbers' Chronicles'. It's truly heartbreaking to see the various tombs that have been looted, leaving nothing but empty graves behind. It's astonishing to think how many treasures would have been passed down through generations if the tombs had not been robbed. The murals are still very impressive. While the Shaanxi History Museum charges for viewing their murals, this one is free and displays them along the tomb passages, providing a more authentic experience. If you're tired of ordinary museums, this one is definitely worth arranging a visit to. The atmosphere is filled with a dense yin energy, which is a bit scary, so I didn't take many casual photos Coming out, I unexpectedly encountered Emperor Xuanwu! It was a bit of a surprise, a relatively new way of museum operation.

Fuxi held the ruler, Nuwa held the compass, The snake body below resembles the DNA chromosome that gives birth to life. The only ancient tomb museum in the country (next to Luoyang Airport, the first choice for returning)😍😍😍

Luoyang, an ancient capital with a long history and splendid culture, always attracts the eyes of countless tourists. This time, I had the privilege of visiting the Ancient Tomb Museum in Luoyang, which felt like being in a real-life version of 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles,' experiencing the mystery and charm of ancient tombs firsthand. The Ancient Tomb Museum is built on the basis of the Northern Wei Dynasty Jingling Mausoleum in the Mangshan Tomb Complex. It has recreated tombs from various dynasties, forming a vivid timeline of burial practices. 'Lady Opening the Door' is a unique form of artistic expression that first appeared in the Han Dynasty and was popular during the Song, Jin, and Yuan periods. It is often found in tomb chambers, ancestral temples, and stone archway paintings, and is a common theme in ancient Chinese painting and sculpture. These images of women partially opening doors are lifelike, as if they are telling ancient stories, moving the viewer deeply. The tomb of Song Si Lang, a late Northern Song Dynasty burial, was discovered in 1983. The tomb chamber has an octagonal floor plan, with brick columns built at each angle, topped with exquisite brick carvings of bracket sets. One side features a brick-built imitation wooden gatehouse, while the other seven walls have mural fake windows, filled with a strong artistic atmosphere. Here, I seemed to be able to feel the living atmosphere and cultural style of people during the Northern Song period. The exhibition area of Jingling, a royal mausoleum from the Northern Wei period, consists of a tumulus, tomb path, corridor, and tomb chamber. The tumulus is circular, reflecting the ancient concept of 'heaven is round, earth is square.' The underground palace is 56 meters long, and the tomb chamber is nearly square in plan.

As the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, apart from the Longmen Grottoes, Guanlin, and the White Horse Temple on the outskirts, there are pitifully few ancient buildings in Luoyang city. On the way to the Ancient Tomb Museum, I visited two Qing Dynasty building complexes—the Shanxi-Shaanxi Guild Hall and the Luzhe Guild Hall. The decent wood carvings, adorable stone lions🦁️, and exquisite stone column bases are among the few highlights. Tips1: During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the 'Shanxi merchants' from Shanxi and the 'Huizhou merchants' from Anhui shone together, holding a pivotal position in the national commerce and financial life. Luoyang was a necessary pass for Shanxi merchants moving south, Huizhou merchants moving north, and Shaanxi merchants moving east. There are two remaining ancient building complexes in the old city of Luoyang. One is the Shanxi-Shaanxi Guild Hall, which was built during the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty by the wealthy merchants of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. The other is the Luzhe Guild Hall, which was built in the ninth year of Qianlong (1744 AD) by fellow merchants from the prefectures of Luan and Zezhou in Shanxi. The Luzhe Guild Hall and the Shanxi-Shaanxi Guild Hall are less than one kilometer apart, east and west, showing the prosperity of Shanxi merchants' business. Tips2: The Wood and Stone Carving Art of Luzhe Guild Hall The wood and stone carvings of the Luzhe Guild Hall are particularly outstanding. On the components of each level of the building, especially under the eaves, the wooden beams, lintels, brackets, and hanging columns are almost all decorated with carvings. There are figures, animals, flowers, and more, with wood carvings using techniques such as relief and openwork. In addition to wood carvings, the stone carving art of the Luzhe Guild Hall is also very distinctive, especially the carvings on the column bases of the main hall, which are lively and exquisite. The six stone column bases in front of the outer eaves are particularly characteristic, with the upper layer featuring two dragons playing drums, the middle layer consisting of six animals penetrating a table in openwork, and the lower layer composed of three layers of stone carvings with twelve overlapping lotus petal patterns.
