You have to go to Luoyang! For a date with spring blossoms

Once you say spring is not late, I will be in Luoyang. This city hides thousands of years of stories, and every inch of land tells the weight of history. I have praised Luoyang ten thousand times in my heart, but none of them can compare to seeing it with your own eyes. Be sure to leave a spring for Luoyang, where you can encounter the romance and beauty that belongs to spring. When the magnolia flowers on Wangchunmen Street bloom wantonly, and the rich floral fragrance fills the air, it is the gentlest opening of spring. Walking among them is like straying into a dream of flowers. The Chanhe Zhuying is like a dreamy and realistic picture scroll. The cherry blossoms are blooming, the breeze is blowing, and the petals are falling, making it so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it. When the peonies are in full bloom, the entire Luoyang is immersed in the beauty of the country, which is the well-deserved highlight of spring. Each peony proudly stretches its petals, showing the world the grace and luxury of the "king of flowers". 3 days and 2 nights of super exciting route planning DAY1: Exploration in the long river of history and the shock of night tour of Longmen In the morning, plunge into the Luoyang Museum, which is like a treasure house of history. From the stone tools and pottery of the ancient times to the exquisite cultural relics of various dynasties, watching it all the way is like traveling through time and talking to the ancients. In the afternoon, move to the Sui and Tang Grand Canal Museum to explore the past and present of this great canal and feel the wisdom and spirit of ancient water conservancy projects. At dusk, go to Zhuying Pagoda and quietly admire the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the pagoda, which is like a dream. When night falls, start a night tour of Longmen. The night view of Longmen Grottoes is amazing. Although the night tour is not yet open this year (the park opened on the Spring Equinox last year), it is worth looking forward to. Enter from "Dashimen" at about 5 o'clock, and visit all the way. When you walk to the "Lifotai" on the opposite bank of the Lushena Buddha, you can just wait for the lights to be lit, take a panoramic view of the Buddha, and feel the charm of the intersection of history and light. DAY2: The fusion of ancient temple Zen and urban fireworks In the morning, go to Baima Temple. This ancient temple with a thousand years of history is filled with Sanskrit sounds. The red walls and green trees show tranquility and peace. The unique Southeast Asian-style architecture in the temple is also an excellent place to take photos. In the afternoon, go to Yanan Road to start a leisurely city walk. The plane trees on the street are full of green, the light and shadow sway on the ground, walk into a literary shop, order a cup of mellow coffee, and enjoy a pleasant afternoon. In the evening, come to Lijingmen. The ancient city gate is more majestic under the light. Walking into the city gate, you can plunge into the lively snack street and taste all kinds of special delicacies. Then go to Jiuzhou Pond, Mingtang Paradise, and Yingtianmen to enjoy the beautiful light show and immerse yourself in the glory of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. DAY3: Go to Laojun Mountain to meet a fairyland on earth Be sure to leave a day for Laojun Mountain. When you step into this misty world, you will feel like you are in a stunning feast on earth. Climb along the winding mountain road, surrounded by lush mountains and forests, and breathe in the fresh natural atmosphere. When you reach the Golden Summit, you can overlook the continuous mountains, and the clouds and mist are surging under your feet, like a fairyland. When night falls, the Golden Summit is brightly lit, and it instantly transforms into a real-life Cloud Top Heavenly Palace. The shocking beauty will make you feel that all the hard work of climbing is worth it. Super practical travel TIPS 1. Night tour of Longmen: Pay close attention to the opening hours and plan your trip in advance so as not to miss the beautiful scenery of the lights. 2. Museum reservation: Be sure to make a reservation on the relevant official platform in advance. For Luoyang Museum, you must start early during holidays to avoid making a trip for nothing. 3. Laojun Mountain: Prepare comfortable shoes and warm clothes. The temperature on the top of the mountain is low, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. 4. Accommodation: It is recommended to stay at the Ruilai Yue Travel Hotel Shizi Street Branch. The location is excellent and the travel is convenient, allowing you to better experience the local customs of Luoyang. 5. Distribution of attractions in the city: The attractions in the city are concentrated. Allow enough time to go to the Ancient Tomb Museum and Baima Temple, and you can check the transportation routes in advance. 6. Stroll on Yanan Road: Choose a sunny afternoon, stroll slowly and leisurely, and enjoy the fun of taking photos and checking in. Flower viewing schedule, don’t miss the most beautiful flowering period Cherry blossoms: late March - early April, recommended viewing spots: Zhuying Pagoda, Sui and Tang Botanical Garden, Luopu Park, when the blooming cherry blossoms will weave a pink dream for you. Peony: early April - mid-April, Wangcheng Park, Guohua Garden, and Sui and Tang Botanical Garden are all excellent viewing spots, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the peony. This spring, pack your bags and head to Luoyang for a date with spring and history!
