Luoyang travel notes
From Xi'an by high-speed train in about 1.5-2 hours.
概览
这座城市的气质
Luoyang is a compact ancient-capital city with one standout sight, the Longmen Grottoes, plus temples, old streets, museums, and a strong seasonal identity during peony bloom.
为什么去
最值得去的理由
The Longmen Grottoes are one of China's major Buddhist art sites and the main reason to include Luoyang.
The city has deep ancient-capital history without the scale or intensity of Xi'an.
It works well between Xi'an, Zhengzhou, and Kaifeng on a history-focused central China route.
如何到达
抵达提示
- High-speed trains connect Xi'an North and Luoyang Longmen Station quickly.
- Luoyang Longmen Station is convenient for the grottoes but not the same as the old city, so plan your hotel and transfer route carefully.
- Taxis and ride-hailing are usually the simplest way to connect the station, grottoes, temples, and old-town areas.
