Ancient Twin Cities Travel Guide

Luoyang and Kaifeng Twin Cities🏯｜The Perfect Route to Live Your Wuxia Dream

From Luoyang to Kaifeng, this route is perfect for friends who love ancient-style wuxia! Stay at Luoyi Inn next to Yingtian Gate, then head to Wansui Mountain to fulfill your wuxia dream. Two days to fully enjoy the twin cities✨

🏨 Accommodation Recommendation:
Luoyang Yijian Inn (Yingtian Gate Luoyi Ancient City Branch)
📍72 Zhongzhou Middle Road
This inn has an amazing location! Just a 5-minute walk to Yingtian Gate, and from the rooftop terrace, you can watch the light show at Mingtang and Tiantang without the crowds. The rooms are quaint and charming, and the front desk staff are super thoughtful, proactively helping with package and laundry collection. Highly recommend staying in a room on the fourth floor; sipping tea on the terrace at night while enjoying the night view makes every photo a masterpiece📸

🚗 Day 1 Route:
8:00 AM Depart from the inn
- There is a subway station right next to the inn, and many shared electric scooters nearby
- It’s recommended to book a ride-hailing car directly to the high-speed rail station (about 30 minutes)
- Luoyang Longmen Station → Kaifeng North Station (high-speed train about 1 hour)

Day 2 Highlights:
📍 Wansui Mountain Wuxia City (a must-visit!)
⏰ 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM (last entry at 9:00 PM)
🎫 80 RMB/person
This place is truly a paradise for wuxia fans! There are immersive performances all day long, and the evening iron flower show is a must-see—be sure to reserve your spot early. The scenic area is huge, so wear comfortable shoes. Food inside is affordable, and the wuxia-themed restaurant is super photogenic~

💡 Useful Tips:
