Dreams of Luoyang | A Meeting of Ancient Capital and Immortal Mountain
| A meeting of ancient capital and immortal mountain. "Travel far to the world to see the beauty of the world." With a longing for the immortal mountain and the ancient capital, I set foot on this divine land, stayed at the poetic Magpie Luoshen Hotel, and embarked on an unforgettable journey through time and nature.
🏨 Stay at Magpie Luoshen Hotel
Stepping into Magpie Luoshen Hotel is like entering a secret garden by the Luo River. The carved beams and painted rafters exude an ancient charm, and every detail whispers the legend of Luoshen. The rooms are elegantly decorated and well-equipped, with the bustling city outside the window and the tranquility inside the room intertwined, like a pure land in the world, providing a resting place for the weary soul of the journey. In this prosperous ancient capital, enjoy a moment of peace and leisure.
🏞 Ask the Way on Laojun Mountain
At dawn, head to Laojun Mountain. The mountain breeze caresses the face, and the green cypress trees welcome you. Climb up the winding plank road, with the sea of clouds surging under your feet, as if walking on the jade steps of the heavenly palace. The golden summit shines in the sunlight, solemn and majestic, standing on the top of the mountains, making people marvel at the wonders of nature and the sedimentation of time. Looking far from the top, the peaks and forests are like paintings, and the heart is open and clear in this vast world, leaving behind the troubles of the world and embracing the magnificent mountains and rivers.
🍽 Taste the Elegance of Water Banquet
As the lights come on, head to the Luoyang Water Banquet. The peony swallow dish is served, like a blooming white peony, exquisite and elegant; the dishes come one after another, with all five flavors of sour, sweet, spicy, fresh, and salty, each with a story, each bite full of Luoyang's charm. In the exchange of cups, taste the thousand-year-old food culture, feel the enthusiasm and boldness of the ancient capital, and this feast on the tip of the tongue adds a rich color to this journey.
In Luoyang, I found warmth at Magpie Luoshen Hotel, found spirituality on Laojun Mountain, and tasted the fireworks in Luoyang Water Banquet. This journey is a release of body and mind, a return of the soul, with full attachment, looking forward to the next reunion with this city, continuing my long-lasting affection with Luoyang.
