Night Tour of Ancient Tomb Immersive Experience: A Must-Visit Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum for the Ghost Festival

Millennium Tomb Wonders

Authentic Ancient Tomb Cluster: 25 ancient tombs from the Western Han to the Song and Jin periods relocated in their original form, including painted pottery figurines from Eastern Han noble tombs and Song dynasty banquet murals.

Underground Immersive Experience: The exhibition space 6 meters underground is incredibly impressive, featuring four passages with rammed earth textured walls that simulate and restore ancient tomb scenes, such as the Tang dynasty imperial tomb restoration hall that vividly recreates the luxurious tombs of the Tang royal family.

Stunning Mural Gallery: Tang dynasty maidens’ skirts flutter lifelike, and elegant gatherings of Northern Song literati in front of landscape folding screens—these brightly colored murals hardly look like millennia-old artifacts.

Featured Experiences

Ancient Tomb Exploration: Scan QR codes for free audio guides (tomb stories more exciting than ghost tales), experience AR tomb chamber puzzles (scan coffins to trigger stories of burial items).

Live Action Mystery Game: Every Saturday at 3 PM, join the free "Tomb Shadow Mystery" event where visitors become history students, solving puzzles and interacting to explore and understand ancient tomb culture.

Night Exploration Exclusive: Night tours of the tomb passages open on the 15th day of each lunar month (reservation required).
