Upon arriving in Luoyang, I discovered a newly opened hostel that boasts a posh environment

The hostel is a place brimming with energy and creativity, which I had never experienced before. This time, I stumbled upon this 'Ershi Si' hostel online, and it was such a pleasant surprise, far surpassing the atmosphere of any budget hotel I've stayed in before. The place resembles a villa, complete with its own yard, wooden fences, and the owner's corgi. In the evening, you can barbecue in the yard, enjoying the gentle breeze. The rooms are very clean, and the amenities are comprehensive. During the day, the hotel offers electric bike rentals for 60 a day, which can cover 80 kilometers, more than enough to explore most of Luoyang. Just a 5-minute ride from the hotel, you'll reach the entrance of the Longmen Grottoes. Despite the crowds, the grottoes are absolutely stunning and well worth the visit. After that, I rode to the Yingtianmen Luoyi Ancient City, and having a small electric bike was incredibly convenient. I spent the evening in the old city, indulging in a variety of local snacks until I was stuffed, and then rode back to the hostel. The scenery along the way was truly beautiful, and I highly recommend getting your own electric bike; it's extremely convenient. By the time I returned to the hostel, it was 10 PM. There were about eight or nine travelers in the lobby playing board games, all around the same age. I joined in and we played until midnight. We also enjoyed some ice-cold beer, which was incredibly refreshing. Everyone sat together in the lobby, sharing their journeys and experiences, like a family reunion. Here, you can find endless travel inspiration. Discovering this hostel was an amazing surprise, and if I ever return to Luoyang, I'll definitely choose to stay here again. Lastly, I forgot to mention, the owner is fantastic! Nice! end!!
