This summer, I visited the Luoyang Museum. We met at 9:30 AM and the tour started right on time. Our guide, Li, was fantastic. We were traveling with a group. She guided us through the best routes, avoiding the crowds. She was very humorous and her storytelling was incredibly engaging.
Taking my six-year-old to the Luoyang Museum, I was initially worried she wouldn't be able to stand still. But Xiaoya, the guide, unexpectedly transformed the experience into a "historical adventure"! For three hours, she used her patience, compassion, and profound knowledge to transform the artifacts into stories that spoke to the child. 💐
She bent over, squatted, and half-knelt to connect with the child at eye level, even holding her hand to look at things she couldn't see. Even when the child asked seemingly irrelevant questions, she smiled and offered a variety of answers and praise. The tenderness in her voice touched me. It turns out that patience isn't just about perfunctory responses; it's about embracing a child's curiosity as a treasure. I asked my daughter why she could listen so intently for three hours, and she said it was because Xiaoya's explanations were so captivating! Whether it was pottery, bronze artifacts, or statues, she transformed the boring details of the era and craftsmanship into something the child could understand. She always found the best angles for the child to view, and even used a tablet to show details about the artifacts and expand on the subject!
For three hours, Xiaoya showed me that good explanations aren't about imparting knowledge; they're about igniting a child's eyes. Next time I take my kids to a museum, I look forward to meeting someone like this who "puts love into their explanations."
Parents who have taken their kids to the Luoyang Museum highly recommend Xiaoya; it's an excellent value!

Good good ...
The night show I went to was immersive and I felt that the price/performance ratio was average. Compared with the performances I went to in Guilin, Yan'an, Xi'an and other places before, it felt a little monotonous and the performance time was shorter.

It was early April when I went there, and some of the peonies were in bloom. The most precious ones had not yet bloomed and had to wait until after Qingming Festival. Overall, it was okay. There were few people when I went there, so it was a good place to relax and unwind.
The peonies in Luoyang are about to fade, and only a few peonies and peonies can be seen in the greenhouse, but they are also beautiful. The staff said that only the International Peony Garden has the most flowers now, but it is too far after all, and I don’t want to rush there. The location here is convenient, just cross the road after visiting Luobo.

The canyon is very beautiful and it is not too tiring to walk down. If you want to play in the water, you need to prepare sandals in advance, but the water is very muddy and it is not recommended to go down. There are rafting projects, the air is good, the supporting facilities are slightly poor, there are no good dining spots, a bowl of instant noodles is 6 yuan, and hot water is 2 yuan, which is a bit of a pit.
The scenery is beautiful, but the scheduling of the scenic area is not good. Especially the waiting time for the boat is too long, and there are several empty boats without people. There is only an old man queuing outside to adjust the queue, and people are constantly being let off. The queue is one and a half hours, and the boat ride takes less than five minutes. The amusement facilities at the entrance are suitable for older children. All the time was wasted on the boat ride. The scenery on the hike back is beautiful. If you have enough time, it is very suitable for a leisurely tour and oxygenation.

The main attraction is the immersive experience of watching beautiful women dancing and the orchestra playing up close. I truly wish I could have enjoyed this privilege in ancient times, right beside the emperor.
After the show, you can visit the museum inside Yingtian Gate or take photos from the highest floor, overlooking the beautiful scenery below.
I enjoyed the visit. Arrive at least 45min before your booked schedule show time for bag security check, collect/redeem ticket, toilet stop, then queue to select seat for the show = all side view, no front view like cinema. Ideally central seat is best as cast appear on both ends / sides of the hall.. only snacks like fruit, biscuit and flower cake are provided so eat before you arrive or eat after = 2hrs, across the street is night food market. If you arrive early, you can take nice day time / night time photos of mingtang area before / after its light up. You can also wander around before / after the show, visit some mini museums too. There are thousands of hanfu girls taking photos in this area... be prepared for the crowds!

The Grand Canal culture has been included in the World Cultural Heritage List. The Sui and Tang Grand Canal Cultural Museum introduces and displays the Grand Canal culture as its core content. The first and second floors are exhibition halls, showing the shipping, life scenes, objects of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, as well as tombs of various dynasties excavated near Luoyang. The largest exhibits are the two ancient shipwrecks displayed on the first and second floors. The third floor is an exhibition hall mainly for interactive experience. The overall visit took two and a half hours.
Luoyang Sui Tang Grand Canal Culture Museum is located at the intersection of Binhe North Road and Xinyi Street in the old city of Luoyang City. It is the national "13th Five-Year Plan" key cultural project, and the first systematic display of the Sui Tang Grand Canal special museum in the country. The museum takes the design concept of "Canal source, Sui Tang Yun Heluo Technology", and the exterior of the building adopts arch elements and Tang Sancai ceramic hanging boards to show the weather of the Tang Dynasty. The museum has three floors of exhibition halls, including the "National Transportation-Tang Dynasty Grand Canal Cultural Exhibition" permanent exhibition and the "One Rice Traveling Tour" interactive experience exhibition, featuring nearly 800 cultural relics, combining multimedia technology to vividly present the history of the canal. The museum opened in 2022 and has now become an important cultural landmark in Luoyang. You need to make a free online reservation in advance and swipe your ID card to visit. The cruise experience on the third floor is great. Let tourists feel the canal scenery from Hangzhou to Tongzhou in Beijing.

The tour guide was knowledgeable, his explanations were lively and interesting, and he told the stories behind the exhibits in an engaging way. The pace was moderate, and he patiently answered questions, making the visit a great experience and a great reward!
A very professional teacher who has a very deep understanding of the past and present of Erlitou and the historical legends of the Xia Dynasty. Combining the knowledge of various sites of the same period, we have a comparative and more comprehensive picture of this period of history. On a hot day of 41 degrees, he also took us to the top rooftop to look at the site from a distance. It can be seen that he likes this job very much. The teacher's name: Wang Jun.

It's a super large wildlife park, and it's convenient to drive by yourself. The park is amazing, and there are all kinds of transportation inside, such as cable cars and shuttle buses. You can see all kinds of animals, and the pandas are worth a visit. Overall, there is no problem, and the tour takes half a day.
It's super fun, especially the cable car. The overall experience is great. You can see a lot of animals, including giant pandas, Siberian tigers, etc. The air is fresh and the vegetation is lush. It's especially beautiful to look down from the cable car. The sightseeing car is also free and comes with a brief explanation. It's worth a try.
ps: I hope everyone can have a sense of boundaries and don't get on other people's cable cars casually. Is it possible that others want to chat and take pictures by themselves, and everyone is queuing up to get on the cable car, and you suddenly run out from the middle and rush to someone else's cable car?

It's suitable for a family trip. There are hotels in the scenic area, and the prices are not expensive. I personally feel that except for the food being a bit expensive, everything else is good. Children can play in the water in the oxygen bar, and taking photos inside is also very good. It is a good place to relax.
Luoyang, Henan | Baiyun Mountain (ii) Forest Oxygen Bar & Luhua Valley came to Luoyang Baiyun Mountain by car on June 21, 25, and played for a total of 1 and a half days. This day and half was really cured by the nature of Baiyun Mountain! 🌳 Tour route: First day: Yuhuangding Tourist Area → Forest Oxygen Bar Tourist Area → Luhuagu Tourist Area. At the end, stay at the Yufu Inn in the central square at night. The affordable experience is very good and recommended. The next day: drive straight to the Kowloon Grand Canyon Tourist Area, walk in, do the Bailong Cableway Club Peak. After the play, the time is around 11 noon, drive back. After leaving the scenic spot, go straight to the gas station, Senqi Petrochemical gas station, private gas station is not bad, oil can be cheap, and then return. 🌳 Second stop: The forest oxygen bar drove directly from the parking lot under the Yuhuangding cableway to the forest oxygen bar. The parking lot was full of cars. I parked on the side of the road and got off the bus. I walked slowly around the forest oxygen bar. The scenery on the side of the road was beautiful. When I passed the Yuhuang Lake, I saw the reflection of the white clouds in the sky in the Yuhuang Lake. It was so beautiful. There were many tourists in the oxygen bar. Many tourists came out to play in the family unit and accompanied their children to play by the stream. Here, 80,000 square meters of pine forests, full of negative oxygen ions, big mouth breathing, the fatigue of the city instantly dissipated. Walking on the boardwalk, surrounded by upright pine trees, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, the light and shadow are interlaced, quiet and beautiful. 🌾 Third stop: Luhua Valley drives directly from the forest oxygen bar to the Kowloon Grand Canyon parking lot, then returns by Jingjiao car, and finally comes to Luhua Valley, enters from the entrance of Luhua Valley, slowly strolling, the stream winds along the valley, the pool is clear. Along the way there were strange stones, secluded forests, and larch forests and reeds, as if walking into the Wizard of Oz. After the game, I went out from the exit of Luhua Valley and came to the Kowloon Grand Canyon parking lot. I drove back and went to the central square. It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening. I stayed at the Lufu Inn. I had a big meal. I slept and played the Kowloon Grand Canyon tomorrow. [Smiling R][Smiling R][Smiling R] On this day, I felt the majesty of the peaks, the tranquility of the forests, and the spirit of the valley in Baiyun Mountain. Everywhere is intoxicating. If you also yearn for a encounter with nature, Baiyun Mountain is definitely the best choice! #Henan [topic]##Luoyang [topic]##Baiyun Mountain [topic]##Self-driving [topic]##Hiking [topic]##Forest oxygen bar[topic]#

The entire museum is not big. You can see the burial pit after going up the stairs on the left hand side of the entrance. The first floor is an introduction to the tomb pit and unearthed cultural relics. It is only two minutes away on the left hand side after exiting Zhouwangcheng subway station. You have to go down the stairs to enter the main gate.
Walking through the Luoyang Zhouwangcheng Emperor's Six-horse Chariot Museum, it's like stepping into a time-space dialogue spanning three thousand years. This underground site museum is centered on the stunning "Emperor's Six-horse Chariot" pit. The skeletons of six horses and the bronze shafts are quietly displayed, confirming the ritual system of "Emperor's Six-horse Chariot" in "Zhou Li", ending the thousand-year historical controversy. Under the dim light, the chariot pit is like a solidified epic, with 18 chariots and horses arranged in a magnificent array, and the remains of seven buried puppies add to the tragic grandeur, making people imagine the majesty of the Zhou emperor and the strict hierarchy of the times. Renting an interpreter (although it was unfamiliar at first), I learned that "one word and nine tripods" originated from the regulation that the king enjoyed the nine tripods alone, and "the sound of gold and stone" originated from the sound of chime bells and stone chimes. Although the exhibition hall is small, it condenses the essence of Eastern Zhou civilization. The jade is as warm as ever, and the bronze is engraved with aesthetic evolution. Every cultural relic seems to whisper the rise and fall of the dynasty. When leaving the museum, the sun was pouring down, as if emerging from the long river of history, and the present moment was even more precious. This is not only a holy place for archaeology, but also a window to touch the pulse of Chinese civilization. It is a cultural secret place that cannot be missed in Luoyang.
