    Because there were no other people joining the group for the originally booked session, it was changed to a 3.5-hour tour. The tour guide from Elephant Travel said that Xiao Jiang explained things very carefully, had done his homework thoroughly, and explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, from which I benefited a lot.

    It was beautiful. I tried both the first and second cable car lines, but unfortunately the elevator was closed. The scenery of the Ten-Mile Painting Screen was stunning, but there were also many people. In the end, the mountain was so crowded that it became a "traffic jam" (a term used to describe a large number of people stuck on a mountain).

    We took our child on an educational trip and found our lovely tour guide, Xiaoya, for a VIP museum tour. Xiaoya was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. Her explanations were insightful yet simple, engaging, and captivating. Our child followed her for the entire 3 hours – a truly delightful surprise! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    The hotel is conveniently located, within walking distance of Yingtianmen, Lijingmen, and Jiuzhouchi, and is also a pick-up point for day trips around Luoyang. The rooms were very clean, the service was excellent, and a complimentary gift was given upon check-out.

    The park is very large and has a Han and Tang Dynasty style. The night views of Mingtang Paradise and Yingtian Gate are charming, and the Yingtian Gate light show is worth seeing. The martial arts field experience project at Jiuzhou Pond has a good design and is suitable for going at night. It is too hot during the day.

    It innovatively creates a form that integrates exhibition, performance, and show. With the help of technologies such as VR, AR, and holographic imaging, and combined with traditional art elements such as guzheng and opera, it allows the audience to say goodbye to fixed seats, walk around and watch, and immerse themselves in the real scene and digital scene.

    The peonies in the National Flower Garden are very beautiful. The garden is not too big. We took a sightseeing bus. When we went there early in the morning, we could see the peonies in full bloom. They were very beautiful. In the afternoon, the flowers might have wilted a little.

    The environment was great, and the museum was huge. The guide led us through all the exhibits, and her explanations were excellent. Not only were there many exhibits, but the legendary ancient tomb artifacts were also truly impressive. Most importantly, there were few people, so we could explore at our own pace – that's better than anything else!

    Since admission is free, let's not discuss the value for money. Let's discuss the history of Luoyi Ancient City. The origins of Luoyi Ancient City date back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. After King Wu of Zhou conquered the Shang Dynasty, he planned to build a new capital in the Yi and Luo regions to consolidate his rule in the east. After Duke Zhou quelled the rebellion of the Three Guards, construction of Luoyi began in the fifth year of King Cheng's reign. Duke Zhao selected the site, and Duke Zhou oversaw the construction, completing the city in about a year. After its completion, Luoyi became the Eastern Capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It consisted of the Royal City and Chengzhou. The Royal City, located east of the Jian River and west of the Chan River, served as the place where princes met with the king and where the Western Zhou nobles resided. Chengzhou, located east of the Chan River, housed the military and settled the people of Yin. Since then, Luoyang has remained one of China's political centers, flourishing through multiple dynasties. The current Luoyi Ancient City is a comprehensive historical and cultural ancient city built on the basis of the original historical sites, with the architectural styles of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties as the main tone. It has preserved the protected buildings of many historical periods, such as the Henan Prefecture Confucian Temple, Tuling Palace, Four-Eyed Well, and the ruins of the ancient city wall of Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

    A fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. The only place in Luoyang where you can see flowers bloom in winter is the plum garden in the Luoyang Sui-Tang Relics Park Botanical Garden! The blooming winter plums have attracted many Luoyang citizens and photography enthusiasts, bringing a touch of warmth to the winter! With the winter plums in bloom, can spring be far behind?!
