Luoyang Jiuzhou Pool, a royal style, waiting for you to explore Jiuzhou Pool is an important royal pool garden in the Ziwei City of the Sui and Tang Luoyang City Palace City. It is a masterpiece of Tang and Song garden architecture and an outstanding example of ancient Chinese royal gardens. It is named after the nine continents of the East China Sea. Jiuzhou Pool is also beautiful during the day. There are relatively fewer people, and it is worth visiting even if you are not taking Hanfu photos. Climb to the Yaoguang Hall and look at the distant paradise, as if you have traveled back to the glory of the Tang Dynasty. The pool water ripples, reflecting the pavilions and towers, which is breathtakingly beautiful. The first floor of Yaoguang Hall is a site protection area, preserving the rammed earth platform and blue brick floor, and introducing the mortise and tenon structure and the court elegance and costumes of the Tang Dynasty. It is also worth seeing.

Luoyang Jiuzhou Qingyan Jiuzhou Pool Tour time is about 60 minutes. The site was rebuilt. It was the exclusive back garden built by Wu Zetian. The current buildings are all rebuilt, among which Yaoguang Hall is the main building. (It is very beautiful for taking photos) The hall displays some wall foundation sites and the construction history of Jiuzhou Pool. It is very good. It also shows the evolution of Dougong (unfortunately, I don't understand this part) and the construction of the whole building complex. There is a large lake behind the hall, which is also built according to the general direction of "one pool and three mountains" (the three mountains refer to the three fairy mountains of "Fangzhang, Penglai and Yingzhou" in the East China Sea in mythology). Some geese are raised in the water. I brought some tasteless old bread to feed them. There are very few tourists in winter, and the geese are very happy to grab food. Tianzi Jia Liu Museum Tour time is 30-60 minutes. The whole museum is located in the business district in the city center. It covers a very small area and displays a carriage pulled by six horses. It is also the only physical evidence of "Tianzi Jia Liu, Zhuhou Jia Wu, Dafu Jia San, Shiren Jia Er, Shuren Jia Yi" in Tianzi Jia Liu, and the museum is named after it. Although the Zhou Tianzi was weak when the capital was moved to Luoyang, the splendor of the Zhou royal family's ritual system can still be seen.

The Jiuzhou Pool site is a royal garden from the era of Empress Wu Zetian, and was also the main leisure and entertainment space for the harem during the Sui and Tang dynasties. The Jiuzhou Pool was built during the Sui Dynasty, with main buildings including the Thousand-Step Pavilion, the Yao Guang Hall, the Liuli Pavilion, and the One-Pillar View, among others. In addition to retaining the above buildings and the Jiuzhou Pool, the Tang Dynasty also added the Wangjing Platform, the Yingri Platform, and other buildings. Around the pool, they also built the Huaguang Court, the Shanzhai Court, the Xianglong Court, the Shenju Court, the Xianju Court, the Renzhi Court and other courtyards, forming a beautiful palace garden scene with a dense water network and pavilions dotted in between, which is an important part of the Sui and Tang Luoyang Palace City (Ziwei City).
