Лоян: чем заняться

Visiting Longmen Grottoes was one of the highlights of my trip to Luoyang. I was genuinely amazed by the sheer scale of the site and the incredible details of the Buddhist statues carved into the limestone cliffs. It is quite mind-blowing to think about how these masterpieces were created more than a thousand years ago, especially considering the tools and technology available back then.Walking through the grottoes gave me a real appreciation of China's rich history, culture and craftsmanship. Every section seemed to have something interesting to discover, and I found myself stopping frequently to admire the intricate carvings. The scenery along the river also made the experience even more enjoyable.Definitely worth visiting if you're in Luoyang! My advice is to set aside at least 2–3 hours, wear comfortable shoes and take your time exploring rather than rushing through. An unforgettable experience!

老君山在河南栾川，传说是太上老君修仙的地儿！山顶道观群老壮观了，尤其赶上云海，跟天宫似的~金顶那一片儿在阳光下blingbling的，拍照绝了！建议坐缆车上山，留体力爬十里画屏，悬崖栈道边走边看奇峰怪石，贼刺激！冬天还能看冰挂，夏天避暑特凉快。记得带件外套，山顶风大，但风景绝对值回票价！吃货别错过山下的栾川豆腐汤，热乎着呢~

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Luoyang was once the capital of 13 dynasties, and the wealth of artifacts unearthed from the city is immense. The Luoyang Museum alone houses nearly 200,000 relics. On my final day in Luoyang, I chose to visit this institution. Admission is free, but I was taken aback by the long queue at the entrance when I arrived at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, even without registering through the online app, I was allowed entry by presenting my passport.The museum is organized into eight galleries:Heluo Civilization GalleryTreasure GalleryTang Sancai GalleryCeramics GalleryCalligraphy & Painting GalleryStone Carving GalleryFolk Art GalleryBronze GalleryChinese bronzes are particularly distinctive. Unlike Europe’s utilitarian bronzes, those in China were primarily ceremonial, used in ancestral rites. Monumental vessels such as the 司母戊鼎 (Si Mu Wu Fang Ding) weigh over 800 kg — unmatched anywhere else. Bronze culture endured in China far longer than in other regions, deeply shaping later dynasties. This is why museums like Henan and Luoyang emphasize bronzes as cultural treasures rather than mere technological artifacts.It is an eye opening trip seeing the artifacts excavated from the 13 dynasties.

Beautiful place to make photoes and enjoy old Luoyang atmosphere. Recommended to visit at 18 and later to see lights and lanterns. It is necessary to raise up the gates, view is really nice. But be aware a lot of people that want your money to dress you and make photoes. Or may be you will like this experience.

The park is quite big, but the peonies are concentrated in a few areas. Those areas can get busy. The flowers are pretty though! Also it is hard to take really good pictures because the flowers have shade covers on top of them to keep them from blooming longer.

Historic no doubt! However, touring the temple involves a lot of walking.... 5+ km if one chooses to take the shuttle to and from the pickup/ drop off point or carpark areas.

This park needs to be part of your itinerary when you plan a visit to luoyang as it gives you a good understanding of how the old city was constructed and gives you a feeling that you are back in ancient China..the show they perform here is a good way to round off the evening as I would highly recommend adding this to your itennary.o would suggest to at least give 4 hours if you are planning to attend the show as the park is wast

Quite an interesting and special museum to visit. I have learned lot of “knowledge” related to the ancient tombs during the 2 hours tour with the guide.

一步踏入洛邑古城，瞬间梦回盛唐！飞檐斗拱的仿古建筑群在灯光下金碧辉煌，穿汉服的小姐姐们提着鱼灯走过石桥，随手一拍就是《梦华录》剧照。推荐傍晚五点后入园，既能看白天的青砖黛瓦，又能邂逅华灯初上的震撼（亮灯瞬间全场会集体惊呼）。应天门3D灯光秀必看，九洲池的夜间实景演出值回票价。不过小吃街商业化略重，建议去十字街吃完水席再来。

四月，春暖花开，有幸陪着母亲走进洛阳隋唐城遗址牡丹园，赴一场春日牡丹之约。千年隋唐古韵浸润满园春色，微风拂过，各色牡丹竞相绽放，姹紫嫣红、雍容华贵，层层花瓣舒展摇曳，暗香浮动，温柔了整个春日。脚下是沉淀千年的隋唐故土，眼前是倾国倾城的牡丹盛景，古今风雅在此温柔相融。陪着母亲缓步园中，慢赏繁花、闲谈日常，静静定格温柔美好的瞬间。褪去平日生活的忙碌与琐碎，没有匆匆赶路，只愿静静陪伴，感受花香与岁月的温柔。繁花有期，岁月温柔，最美的风景从来不止春色满园。从前总为生活奔波忙碌，忽略了陪伴家人的时光。这一刻深深懂得，世间最珍贵的幸福，便是父母安康、岁岁相伴。愿往后岁岁春光，年年花开，常伴母亲左右，不负繁花，不负温情，珍惜每一段温暖相守的时光。
