Longmen Grottoes are shocking with the state of ghosts and axes! On the cliffs, thousands of Buddha statues are looking at compassion, Lushena Buddha is magnificent and luxurious, and the lotus caves are exquisitely decorated. The stone carving art on both sides of the Yihe River blends with the landscape, and the history and vicissitudes and cultural heritage are perfectly intertwined here, which is a treasure of Oriental art.
Personally feel very good, I went in February this year. At that time, there was Luoyang Cultural Tourism subsidy. 60 people. Seniors over 60 years old are free of charge. It is a bit of a leg to climb the steps. But it is worth seeing. Being immersive can be more impressed by the wisdom and national culture of the ancestors.

Step into the site of Yingtianmen in Luoyang, like crossing thousands of years of time and space. The Yucheng Building reproduces the weather of the Shengtang, and the light and shadow show and the site are intertwined, telling the bustling ancient capital. The mottled relics carry a heavy history, and the immersive experience shows the charm of the gods, and it is intoxicated by the charm of Chinese civilization.
From the 1960s to 2010, after five archaeological excavations, the Yingtianmen site consists of the gate building, the Door building and the east and west buildings and their inter-corridors, forming a huge complex of "concave" shapes. It is the first palace gate site excavated by the archaeological excavation of the two Beijings in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is also the highest-grade Chengmenlou site found in the country. On September 13, 2019, the Yingtianmen Site Museum was officially opened to the public.

The night view of Yingtianmen is super beautiful, suitable for Hanfu to take pictures and punch in, quack film, free light show on weekends, magnificent, and night tours of Zhougong Temple, and Zhougong came to a century's appointment.
It is worth going, the night view is very beautiful, the scenic spot is not big, it is not interesting to go during the day, it is beautiful after the lights are on. Convenient transportation, there are many travel shots at night, very beautiful, it is very convenient to take a taxi, this attraction is not tired to play.

As graceful as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon... From Cao Zhi's words to the fantasy before our eyes! "Tracing the Goddess of Luo River" is not just a performance, it is a cultural dialogue spanning thousands of years. The moment I saw the Longmen Grottoes "live", I was really moved to tears... Technology has made the imagination of thousands of years ago shine into reality!
It is still worth watching. It combines various artistic elements such as guzheng, dance, and opera, and uses high-tech means, through VR, AR and other digital technologies, to vividly reproduce the scenes in "The Goddess of Luo River". The performance has five stories, including the River Map and Luoshu, The Goddess of Luo River, Longmen World Heritage, Calligraphy and Painting, and Resonance of Ancient and Modern Times. The immersive feeling is very good, the actors are right next to you, and the lighting and sound effects are also in place. It is a good choice

How can a family come to Luoyang without visiting the famous Luoyi Ancient City and Lijing Gate! There are both magnificent historical buildings and various special snacks here. Although there are some similar elements to other ancient cities, I personally feel that it is already a place with a strong sense of fireworks!
⛰️ How to play the scenic spot:
As soon as you enter the Luoyi Ancient City, you can see the Wenfeng Tower. Climb up the Wenfeng Tower to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city, and there will be a 3D light show at night.
From Luoyi Ancient City to Lijing Gate, you can choose to walk along the Luoyang Old Street, where you can feel the charm of the old street and eat by the way.
Lijing Gate is the west gate of the Luoyang Ancient City, and it has the reputation of "If you don't go to Lijing Gate, you will come to Luoyang City in vain". The Lijing Gate at night is brightly lit and magnificent, especially the dragon head under the tower is very imposing.
🚗Transportation and accommodation:
Luoyi Ancient City is located on the north side of the intersection of Jiudu East Road and Liulin Street in the old city of Luoyang. After exiting the A₁ exit of "Luoyi Ancient City Station" on Metro Line 1, walk south along Minzhu Street for about 5 minutes to reach the north gate. The transportation is very convenient.
Free admission, opening hours are 9:00-22:30. It is recommended to enter the park after 16:00, which can not only avoid tour groups, but also enjoy the beautiful night view. Moreover, many stalls are not open until the evening, and there is no such feeling at all.
There are many characteristic homestays near Luoyi Ancient City, some of which have Hanfu for rent. If you are not afraid of noise, you can live near the ancient city and come to eat and eat at any time. Girls wearing Hanfu and eating skewers can be seen everywhere on the road [amazing]
🍜Food recommendation:
Start a food tour when you are tired of shopping. At the Guanji Shuixi old shop at the south gate of the scenic area, you must order Peony Bird's Nest and Fried Balls; at the night market, you can't miss the special snacks such as Bufan Tang, Jiang Noodles, Luoning Steamed Meat, and the local specialty Xiaofang Tea Shop; there is also the beautiful Tiantang Mingtang ice cream, which is delicious and photogenic. Before leaving, take a collection of special handmade pastries, which are shaped like various iconic attractions in Luoyang. They are great for personal use or gifts!
📌 Intimate TIPS:
It is highly recommended to visit the Luoyang Tri-color Art Museum next to Lijing Gate. It doesn't look big. If you only look at the first floor, you will feel that it is just a small shop selling peripheral souvenirs, but in fact, there is a different world upstairs, with colorful exhibits and decorations. It is definitely a niche check-in point that is photogenic!
During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I went to the ancient city of Luoqi again. In addition to the more colorful Tiannv scattered flower programs, I also got some water dolphins, sika deer and other small animals. In addition to the young lady who took pictures, other feeling attractions need to add performance programs.

Show was supposedly immersive in that the audience was to be play-acting as one of four designated roles to be seated to enjoy a Tang Dynasty performance. The 'banquet' in the show's name is a misnomer as only a small pot of tea, a couple of snacks and some fruits were offered. The performers put up quite a good show though I felt the Tracing Luosenfu Show was the better of the two. The view from the tower after the show is mesmerizing.
The performance is about 40 minutes, Trip.com buy 268 people, the food can basically be ignored, the interaction is a bit less, the plot and the program are also very simple, there is no memory point to see, more people buy tickets in, or in order to take pictures in Yingtianmen City upstairs, this fourth floor is only open to guests with performance tickets. Actors are generally very serious, playing Xuanwu actors, left a deep impression on me, even sitting in the crowd, the expression is always online. Many young actors are very handsome, because there is too little interaction. There are still some problems with the management of the scenic spot. Some people who take pictures on behalf of them occupy the position in the city building at will. They take the seat for a long time and don’t leave. The tourists take pictures and they are yelled at them. Luoyang is a mess. It is not possible to rectify it. These generational photographs will become "road bully" and new types. "Black evil", very corrupt the image of a city, especially Luoyang, a city with cultural tourism as the core industry.

As a landmark of the old city, Luoyang Lijingmen is generally a "sensible tour" attraction. With the rebuilt city buildings and old streets, it provides tourists with a convenient window to experience the ancient capital style, but if measured by the standards of historical authenticity or deep cultural immersion, there is still room for improvement.
Lijingmen is the first gate of the ancient capital. If you only go to Lijingmen and walk to Luoyang City, it is free if you only go shopping and eat snacks under the city entrance, and you don't go to the city building. There is also a three-color art museum, which is also free. You need to buy 45 tickets to go to the city building. There is an weapons exhibition hall on it, which displays the different weapons that used to be used to attack the city and guard the city. It is also quite interesting to have the history of the 13 dynasties and the introduction of various kings that designated Luoyang as a capital. The most important thing is to overlook Luoyang City in all directions. In the evening, you can see different styles of scenery during the day and night, especially the night view after the lights are on, which is beautiful. We went downstairs to eat snacks while strolling, and then went to the city building in the evening, and visited for a total of 4 hours.

Heaven is the Buddhist temple of Wu Zetian, which means "the supreme hall". It is located in the core area of Ziwei City, the palace city of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is also called "Tongtian Tower" and "Tongtian Pagoda". Heaven is magnificent and you can take the direct elevator up and down.
We climbed nine floors just to enjoy the scenery outside the tower and overlook the night view of the ancient city. The tower is decorated with splendid murals, cultural and creative products, tea tasting, exquisite lighting, and girls in Tang costumes walking around. It seems like we have traveled through the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

20240415 evening:
1. Yingtianmen South Square is located in the Yingtianmen Scenic Area of the Sui and Tang Luoyang City Ruins, a 4A scenic spot. The Sui and Tang Luoyang City Ruins are cultural relics in the urban area of Luoyang. They are divided into three walls: the outer city, the imperial city, and the palace city, with a total area of 47 square kilometers. The scenic area is mainly located on the ruins of the imperial city and the palace city. It consists of three adjacent sub-scenic areas: Mingtang Tiantang, Yingtianmen, and Jiuzhouchi. Tickets are sold separately. Yingtianmen was the south gate of the imperial palace during the Wu Zhou period (690-750). It was built in the first year of the Sui Dynasty (605). It was originally named Zetianmen. Because there were five phoenix-shaped towers, it was also called Wufenglou. It was the place where major state celebrations were held during the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (equivalent to the Wumen Gate of the Forbidden City during the Ming and Qing Dynasties). It was the highest-specification city gate at the time and was known as the "First Gate of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". The name was introduced to Japan with the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and it is the origin of Yingtianmen in Kyoto, Japan. Yingtian Gate was renamed Yingtian Gate in 705 AD after Wu Zetian ascended the throne to avoid the title of honor. It was burned down by Jin soldiers in 1128 AD during the Southern Song Dynasty. The current building was rebuilt in 2018. It consists of a gate tower, a Duo Tower, and an East and West Que Tower. It is "concave" in shape and is 137 meters long from east to west. It is magnificent and has a beautiful night view, showing the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The scenic area is divided into four parts: the North Square, the South Square, the Ruins Area, and the Viewing Platform. It is a good place for viewing photography, humanities learning, ancient costume photography, performance appreciation, and night scene photography. Many emperors and generals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Bai Juyi and other celebrities have left footprints in history. It is a must-visit attraction for Luoyang tourism.

The original stele pavilion. Japanese envoys visited Luoyang 4 times in the Sui Dynasty and 6 times in the Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang is one of the most important historical and cultural cities in China. There are many ancient relics here. The most majestic one that best reflects the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty must be the Yingtian Gate Ruins. Although this tower is newly built, it is restored based on the discovery of the ruins and the records in ancient books. The area and height of the ruins are absolutely shocking. The Yingtian Gate with lights on at the beginning of the night is really beautiful and breathtaking. It is also a popular check-in spot. Men and women all wear gorgeous Tang costumes. Taking pictures here is really like dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty.
