🏯 Xi'an-Luoyang-Zhengzhou-Kaifeng|A journey through the millennium civilization of the Central Plains 🇨🇳 📍 The heartbeat of history, do you hear it?

One route, four cities. The grandeur of Xi'an, the romance of Luoyang, the sophistication of Zhengzhou, the urbanity of Kaifeng... This is a journey truly straight out of a Chinese history book, and one that lingers in my heart: "You must come!" 🗺️ Highlights of the Four-City Itinerary: 📌 Xi'an: The Heartbeat of the Ancient Capital of 13 Dynasties Must-See: Terracotta Warriors, Bell and Drum Tower, Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, Muslim Street The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps at night is breathtakingly beautiful and dreamy; checking it out in Hanfu is like "dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty." Eat your way through Xi'an: Roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), yangroupaomo (mutton soup bun), liangpi (cold noodles), everything is included! 📌 Luoyang: The Soul of the Ancient Capital Beneath the Peony Blossoms The awe-inspiring Longmen Grottoes is hard to describe; booking a guided tour in advance is recommended. Luoyi Ancient City's night view is breathtaking! There are also river lanterns to release~ White Horse Temple and the Emperor's Six-River Carriage Museum are also worth taking your time to explore. 📌 Zhengzhou: New and Old on the Yellow River The Chinese Character Museum is truly a hidden gem, yet incredibly fascinating. Dengfeng Shaolin Temple: Experience the fusion of Zen and martial arts. Zhengzhou's cuisine is also second to none, with dishes like spicy hot soup and braised noodles that only get more delicious the more you eat! 📌 Kaifeng: A real-life version of the Qingming Riverside Scene Qingming Riverside Park feels like stepping into the Song Dynasty, with actors performing street dramas daily! Longting Park and the Iron Tower are also quite charming. Don't forget to try: soup dumplings, xiaolongbao, and fried jelly—cheap and authentic! 💬 Why "must visit"? Because these four cities form the backbone of Chinese civilization. You'll witness the vibrant atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, the charm of the Song Dynasty, the legacy of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the fascinating coexistence of modern life. This isn't just a superficial check-in; it's a truly immersive cultural journey. 📷 Recommended Travel Photography: ✅ Night view of the Tang Dynasty City | Illuminations and Hanfu complement each other ✅ Longmen Grottoes | The pinnacle of stone carving ✅ Shaolin Temple Gate | Step into a martial arts dream ✅ Qingming Shanghe Park Night Show | Time-travel in ancient costumes 🌟 Travel Tips: ✔️ High-speed rail connects the four cities very conveniently, with direct journeys taking up to two hours ✔️ Hanfu/ancient costumes can be booked online in advance and are available for rental in all major ancient cities ✔️ Some museums/historic sites require advance reservations (early arrival is strongly recommended) ❤️ History shouldn't just be found in textbooks; you'll understand when you actually visit: These places are a must-see! #Xi'an #Luoyang #Zhengzhou #Kaifeng #Central Plains Tour #Ancient Capitals of China #Cultural Travel #MustVisit #TripMoment
