Luoyang is one of the four holy cities in the world. It is the earliest capital city in China, with the most dynasties and the longest history. More than 100 emperors have ruled the country here. The Shang City of Yanshi, the Xia Capital of Zhenxun, the ancient city of Han and Wei, the Luoyang City of Sui and Tang, and the ruins of the royal city of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are lined up along the Luo River from east to west, forming the wonder of "Five Capitals Passing Through Luoyang". They silently tell how glorious and glorious Luoyang was in the past. Luoyang is a place where the closer and deeper you get to it, the more you feel that you are ignorant. This ancient capital has too much cultural heritage. Not only can cultural relics and historical sites be seen everywhere, but even the broken walls and broken bricks and tiles in the wild mountains and fields have a heart-wrenching story. When you drink Du Kang wine, Cao Cao's bold words "Singing to the wine, how long is life" will ring in your ears; when you see Guanlin, where Guan Yu's head is buried, it seems that the stories of "Warming wine to kill Hua Xiong" and "Failed to flee to Maicheng" happened yesterday.
Luolong District: The area with the most concentrated Luoyang attractions, including Longmen Grottoes, White Horse Temple and other famous attractions.
Old Town: The district that best reflects the history and culture of ancient Luoyang, and is also the district with the strongest atmosphere of life in Luoyang.
Every April, Luoyang's "Peony Flower Fair" is held. The whole city of Luoyang is full of flowers, crowded with people, and extremely lively. In addition, autumn is also the best time to travel in Luoyang. In the clear and cool weather, climbing mountains to appreciate chrysanthemums is also a good experience.
Luoyang has four distinct seasons. Winter is cold with little rain and snow, so you need to wear a down coat. Spring is dry and windy, so it is recommended to bring a scarf. Summer is hot and rainy, so you need to bring rain gear when you go out. Autumn is sunny and the sunshine is long, so you need to protect yourself from the sun.
The cost of living in Luoyang is medium. The average accommodation price is around 100-200 yuan, the bus fare is 1-1.5 yuan, and you can have a good meal for around 30 yuan for lunch.
