The charm of the ancient capital - Luoyang Old Town's Cross Street
Luoyang Cross Street, with its bluestone pavements, antique shop fronts, and tall red lanterns. As night falls, it turns into a bustling night market, brightly lit, with the quaint red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the street. Visitors walk on the bluestone-paved road, tasting a variety of snacks, enjoying themselves leisurely. The old town also represents the style of old Luoyang.

Luoyang | For dinner, you can come here many times | Cross Street Night Market
If we talk about eating in Luoyang, many tourists will go to the Cross Street in Luoyang, which is the most famous snack street here🎉, located in the old city area of Luoyang at the intersection of Jingu Street and Beida Street, gathering various special delicacies. After a day of sightseeing, if you want to experience the joy of Luoyang's food culture, come to this night market.
📍Address: Intersection of Zhongzhou East Road and Beida Street in the old city district of Luoyang, Henan Province. The hotel I booked is the Ancient Capital Lijing Hotel, which is on the main road of Zhongzhou East Road, a 5-minute walk to Cross Street.
🌟Highlights: It's bustling here both day and night, especially in the evening. When the lights are on, with a little snowfall, coupled with the New Year atmosphere, it creates a warm and bustling feeling. In addition to eating, there are traditional product shopping, various entertainment venues, large restaurants, and small stalls, with items at various price points.
🍜Food Recommendations:
👉Bu Fan Tang: A traditional delicacy of Luoyang, sour and spicy, you can see a variety of ingredients added to the soup
👉Donkey Meat Huoshao: The donkey meat is tender, and the huoshao is crispy
👉Roasted Lamb: The lamb is tenderly roasted, doesn't get stuck in the teeth, and tastes good
👉Almond Tea: I haven't had it elsewhere, it's sweet, and goes particularly well with the lamb mentioned above
👉Roasted Gluten: Spicy and chewy, very delicious
In summary, there are flavors from all over, mainly for the lively atmosphere, but it is strongly recommended to look for restaurants with Luoyang characteristics, personally I had no bad experiences.
🛍Shopping Recommendations:
👉In Cross Street, you can buy various Luoyang specialty handicrafts and souvenirs, such as Tang Sancai, peony porcelain, paper-cutting, etc.
🎉Nearby Attractions: All are in the old city area, many places can be walked to, such as:
👉Luoyi Ancient City: A good place to experience ancient culture, with many popular filming stores
👉Lijing Gate: The west gate of the ancient city of Luoyang, with high and thick city walls, majestic, I personally really like this sense of historical sediment.
📝Tips:
🏮The Cross Street at night is more recommended, lively and brightly lit, with a wide variety of snacks, where you can taste delicious food while enjoying the lights.

The sunset at Lijing Gate and the fireworks at Cross Street
The night market of Cross Street in the old city of Luoyang, a snack street full of the atmosphere of human life. As the name suggests, it is a cross street - North Street, South Street, East Street, West Street. It doesn't seem to be much different from other snack streets.
Some notably good spots include: 1. Wan Jing Xiang baked goods, with generous fillings and a rich aroma, freshly baked and likely very good. There are many of these throughout Cross Street. 2. There's a stall selling grilled crocodile, which seems quite unusual. 3. Luoyang's unique 'not overturned soup', with many stalls at the night market. 4. Outside there is a 'Truly Different' restaurant, with many plaques hanging outside, giving off an authentic vibe. 5. Iron plate paintings.
The essence is concentrated on West Street, and at the end of West Street is the east gate of Lijing Gate. Inscribed with 'the number one gate in Central Plains', the entire Lijing Gate scenic area consists of the gate tower, urn city, arrow tower, city wall, and Lijing Bridge (formerly a drawbridge), moat, etc., and is one of the eight scenic spots of Luoyang, with the reputation of 'Not reaching Lijing Gate, one has not truly been to Luoyang City'.
In the evening, walking through the bustling crowd on West Street, watching the sunset slowly descend beside Lijing Gate, there is a kind of static beauty in the movement.
