洪虹We started our visit from the Lower Temple, heading straight to the Water God Temple to admire the Yuan Dynasty murals. The Mingyingwang Hall of the Water God Temple was built in the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty's Yanyou era (1319). The nearly 200 square meters of Yuan Dynasty murals on the four walls of the hall are a unique example in ancient China of murals that do not depict Buddhist or Taoist themes. These paintings, created over 700 years ago, are meticulously arranged, vividly depicted, and richly colored, truly exquisite. Among them, the theatrical mural on the east side of the south wall is one of the "Three Wonders of Guangsheng," and it, along with the polo scene on the upper north side of the west wall, was included in the "Chinese History" textbook in 1998.

爱吃糖浆的小蘑菇There were some icicles along the Hukou Waterfall in mid-December, which looked beautiful and the scenery was breathtaking. I highly recommend it. The apple and pear pastries I bought in the shopping street were very sweet and delicious. It was also the off-season, so there were very few tourists, and I could take my time to enjoy the scenery!

Anonymous userHukou Waterfall, the second largest waterfall in China and the world's largest yellow waterfall, is renowned for its magnificent spectacle, described as "the Yellow River flowing for a thousand miles, all contained in a single pot." A visit here is definitely worthwhile!
4.8/5洪虹We left Guangsheng Temple and drove to Xiaoxitian. What should have been a smooth two-hour drive turned into a road construction trip less than 20 minutes from our destination. After much detours, it took us nearly three hours to finally arrive at Xiaoxitian in Xi County. Xiaoxitian is like a magical treasure box, containing a vast world within a small room. In this mere 169.6 square meters, our eyes couldn't take it all in; we were completely immersed, reluctant to leave. We also followed wave after wave of tourists, listening to their explanations intermittently. From the very beginning, the hall was packed with people, and we stayed until evening when the crowds gradually dispersed before finally leaving. This wondrous journey to Xiaoxitian was truly unforgettable.
4.3/5Anonymous userI came to Luoyang specifically to see the peonies, and also visited this attraction on the way. The Mingtang Hall was the imperial court during the reigns of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. It's magnificent and echoes the Yingtian Gate. The Tiantang Hall is a nine-story Buddhist hall with an elevator, but its capacity is small, and it's often full when there are many tourists. Climbing the upper floors offers a panoramic view of Luoyang. The murals inside are lifelike and exquisite. It's also very popular for nighttime viewing. The downsides are that the entrance fee is a bit expensive, and the restroom signs within the scenic area are unclear, making them a little difficult to find.

lin***ieThe park is very large and has a Han and Tang Dynasty style. The night views of Mingtang Paradise and Yingtian Gate are charming, and the Yingtian Gate light show is worth seeing. The martial arts field experience project at Jiuzhou Pond has a good design and is suitable for going at night. It is too hot during the day.

冰糖炖二哈The interactive live-action performance in ancient costumes was a lot of fun, a real treat for history buffs. The theme was related to the rebellion of the Turkic prince Mochuo during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, and even brought tears to the eyes of longtime fans of Detective Dee. I went without dinner, and the plates they gave us weren't enough; a plate of fried rice would have been fine too, as my stomach was growling.

4.7/5Anonymous userThe Luoyang Museum is an absolute underrated treasure! As a concentrated essence of the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, it tells the story of the "Divine Capital's" glory in the most direct way. The unearthed Northern Wei clay Buddha face, though incomplete, possesses a serene and compassionate beauty that touches the soul—a "Mona Lisa of the East." Be sure to allocate at least 3 hours; the exhibits are incredibly informative! If you are a history enthusiast, this is paradise; if you are just passing through, it is enough to plant a seed of wonder in your heart—that the pulse of Chinese civilization once beat so powerfully here.
4.7/5Anonymous userThe Wang Family Compound is an outstanding example of Qing Dynasty residential architecture in China. Located in Jingsheng Town, Lingshi County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, it was built by the Jingsheng Wang family, descendants of the Taiyuan Wang clan, over a period of approximately 300 years, from the Kangxi to the Jiaqing reigns. It is hailed as "China's First Residence of Folk Architecture," "China's Folk Palace," and "Shanxi's Forbidden City." Its grand scale covers an area of 250,000 square meters, encompassing five alleys, five forts, and five ancestral halls. Currently, it contains 231 courtyards and 2,078 rooms. The open area centers on the three major architectural complexes of Gaojiaya (Phoenix), Hongmenbao (Dragon), and Chongningbao (Tiger), showcasing the traditional "front hall, rear chamber" layout and the overall "王" (Wang) shaped design.
