M57***62The scenery is beautiful, but the restrooms in the scenic area are terrible. Management is inadequate, and the ticket sellers at the windows have poor service. If the restrooms and safety measures in the scenic area could be improved, it would be perfect.

明明之月A guided tour of the Longmen Grottoes is almost always a must; the history and Buddhist stories behind it are well worth learning. The Buddha statues are truly breathtaking. I also saw Xiangshan Temple, where Bai Juyi once lived, and the bell rings on the hour—it was very atmospheric! The guide was a local, and he explained things very well. At the end, he even recommended other attractions, food, and performances in Luoyang. He was very sincere, and I had a great time. Thank you!

Jojo-WalesAmazing. Easily a full day out. I went on a weekday in December meaning no crowds. Ended with a kungfu show. Highly recommended, and be prepared for some uphill hiking if you want to enjoy the full experience. The only thing to be aware of if taking public transport, it can be tricky to work out if you don't speak Chinese, and there were no buses coming back, so I had to negotiate a shared car with a private driver. Might be better to join a tour group even if it's just for the reliable transport.

M25***57Overall it was pretty good, just too tiring. The digital museum had a place to sit and there was a performance, but it was probably too late, so not many people stayed; almost everyone left by the time the performance started.

gwwkingZhongyue truly lives up to its name. It's not just a masterpiece of nature, but a vivid and extreme manifestation of tectonic plate activity. Geologically, its mountain-building activity is far more active than the other mountains in the east, west, south, and north. A leisurely visit to Shaoshi Mountain takes about 4 hours, while Taishi Mountain takes roughly 9 hours. Either way, you'll have thick legs.

Anonymous userGuanlin Temple in Luoyang is one of the three major temples dedicated to Guan Yu, and a visit to Luoyang is incomplete without paying homage to Lord Guan. Offering incense, slipping some coins, reflecting on Lord Guan's legendary life, and learning from his enduring loyalty and righteousness is a truly meaningful experience.

wR8023The peonies were absolutely gorgeous!! The first time I went, the flowers weren't in bloom yet, so I went back a month later specifically to see them! There were many varieties, and I even saw the silver thread peonies. The queue was very long, but it was worth it.
4.7/5Anonymous userThe Luoyang Museum is an absolute underrated treasure! As a concentrated essence of the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, it tells the story of the "Divine Capital's" glory in the most direct way. The unearthed Northern Wei clay Buddha face, though incomplete, possesses a serene and compassionate beauty that touches the soul—a "Mona Lisa of the East." Be sure to allocate at least 3 hours; the exhibits are incredibly informative! If you are a history enthusiast, this is paradise; if you are just passing through, it is enough to plant a seed of wonder in your heart—that the pulse of Chinese civilization once beat so powerfully here.

大胖耐The peonies in the National Flower Garden are very beautiful. The garden is not too big. We took a sightseeing bus. When we went there early in the morning, we could see the peonies in full bloom. They were very beautiful. In the afternoon, the flowers might have wilted a little.

M27***27The overall experience was excellent; focus more on the storyline than on the food. However, it was a bit pricey for its price. The table had five pieces of fruit, one dessert, and a pot of tea, and the whole experience took about forty minutes. The NPCs were truly impressive. The most memorable were the Left Prime Minister and the envoy; their performances, combined with the sound effects, made it feel like stepping back into the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
