Luoyang is a must-visit stop in the ancient capital of nine dynasties. For 2 days and 1 night, between Longmen Grottoes and White Horse Temple, experience the unique atmosphere of Luoyang.
The first impression Luoyang gives people almost always comes from the Longmen Grottoes. When it truly appears before your eyes, the imagination in the pictures suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.
When it comes to Luoyang, locals usually first mention White Horse Temple. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the gateway to an entire section of life.
Peonies hide another side of Luoyang. With less crowd from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel as if you've briefly become a person here.
If you have the energy, go take a stroll along the Luo River. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, which fits your itinerary just right.
Luoyang taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every sight, just as the Longmen Grottoes taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
