[2025 Luoyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Wangcheng （Royal City）Park (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.

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.

Enter Wang City Park, and you'll find yourself diving into an ocean of peonies. The "Yao Huang" variety blooms like layered golden cups, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight. Truly deserving of its title "King of Flowers," it resembles an emperor seated in the royal court, radiating nobility and majesty. Nearby, the "Guifei Chacui" variety is equally stunning, with its white-pink petals adorned with emerald stamens, reminiscent of a carefully adorned imperial consort, exuding both charm and grace, evoking the splendor of the Tang Dynasty court. Moving to the Sui and Tang Dynasty Ruins Botanical Garden, peonies bloom alongside the ancient ruins, adding a profound historical dimension.

#cherryblossom25 #discoverchina #flowers #spring The peonies of Wangcheng Park arrived like empresses—bold, voluptuous, and dripping in hues of ruby and gold. Yet my eye kept drifting to their delicate courtiers: the scattered cherry blossoms framing the imperial flower beds, offering whispered contrast to the peonies' opulence. Here in Luoyang's most regal garden, spring staged a spectacular duet between permanence and transience. I watched as visitors divided their attention—elderly painters meticulously capturing every fold of the peonies' silken petals, while young couples sneaked romantic selfies under the sakura's pink canopy. Near the Tang-style pavilion, a child's laughter rang out as she chased stray cherry petals, her tiny hands brushing past thousand-year-old peony cultivars worth more than her family's car. The air carried competing perfumes: the peonies' heady spice versus the sakura's clean, almost watery sweetness.

👍🏻Recommendation: Wangcheng Park is a hidden gem! Located in the heart of Luoyang, it's a nationally renowned comprehensive relic park, steeped in history. It features four main areas: the Peony Viewing Area, where you can immerse yourself in the national beauty of peonies; the Historical and Cultural Area, where you can experience the weight of history; the Large Amusement Area, where you can rediscover your childhood; and the Zoo, where adorable animals will melt your heart. Whether you're looking for photo ops, cultural enrichment, or leisure and entertainment, this is the perfect choice. And the best part? You can experience peonies, a zoo, and an amusement park all in one place—what a deal! 🗺Attraction Introduction: Named for its location on the ruins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's royal city, the park is divided into four main areas: the Peony Viewing Area, the Historical and Cultural Area, the Large Amusement Area, and the Zoo. These areas create unique landscapes such as "Peonies in Full Bloom," "Majestic Zhou Ding," "Fragrant Peony Welcome," "Liangsi Waterfall," "Hetu Luoshu," "Phoenix Gate," "Music Terrace Bell," and "Gantang Isle." The Peony Viewing Area is particularly noteworthy, boasting nearly 10,000 peony plants of over 80 varieties, including the green peony "Chun Liu" (also known by the down-to-earth name "Cabbage") and the "King of Flowers," Yao Huang. The zoo is also a highlight, home to Northeast tigers, South China tigers, leopards, camels, giraffes, and many other animals. Around 5pm, there's an adorable sea lion show, and you might even catch the spectacular sight of peacocks displaying their feathers. The amusement park offers rides like a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, and swing chairs, guaranteeing a fun-filled experience. 🚗Getting There: By subway: Take Luoyang Subway Line 1 to Wangcheng Park Station, Exit C. Walk west for 300 meters to reach the park's main gate.🚇 By bus: Routes 102, 103, 101, 15, 9, 10, 19, and 99 all stop at Wangcheng Park Station.🚍 However, parking can be challenging if you're driving, so plan ahead. 🗺Suggested Route: Start your visit at the Peony Fairy statue, then proceed to the Fragrant Peony Welcome (Chenxiang Pavilion), where you can admire over a dozen cultivated peony varieties, including Luonu Zhuang, Xiu Yue, and Danyang, in a dazzling array of colors. Continue to the Ziyun Tianxiang Terrace, then to Aomei Xuanchun and Chunxiao An, and finally to Gantang Isle and Wangcheng Chunzao. The latter two viewing areas are located within the Wangcheng Zoo, accessible via the Jade Belt Bridge and the Danfeng Bridge. This allows you to enjoy both beautiful flowers and adorable animals—killing two birds with one stone. 🍱Food Recommendations: While there are snack stalls inside the park, they are a bit pricey and not recommended.❎ Instead, try some of Luoyang's local specialties after leaving the park. "Water Banquet" is a must-try, featuring a delicious combination of hot and cold dishes. Also, don't miss the rich and fragrant mutton soup—one bowl is incredibly satisfying. 💰Fees: Tickets are 50 yuan per person, with student tickets at a discounted price of 15 yuan.💰 The park is open from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. Amusement park rides may require separate fees; check on-site for specific pricing. The zoo is included in the park's general admission ticket. 📌Other Tips: 1. Peony viewing season is from March 25 to May 5. Peonies begin to bloom in early April, with mid-April being the peak viewing period. Don't miss it if you want to see the peonies in full bloom. 2. Check the flower forecast in advance to see which varieties are in bloom on the day of your visit, so you can plan your viewing route accordingly. 3. After entering the park, the peony viewing areas are to the left, and the snack stalls are to the right. If you're short on time, prioritize the peonies and the zoo; you can save the amusement park for another visit. 4. The park is quite large, so wear comfortable shoes to avoid sore feet.
