LONG LIN LU DI YI GU NIU ROU SHANG

The most satisfying meal in Luoyang, the first time I ate what Wu Lala recommended and it was not bad. The beef soup was super delicious. It was just served without salt, you can add it as needed. The price was different, 15 yuan a bowl, and it felt like the meat was not much. But it was very fragrant, and you could have unlimited refills after drinking it. Many aunties who lived nearby brought their own pots to fill it up. The shredded pancakes were average, but it was not bad to go to the next door to buy a crispy oil twist to go with it. If I didn't have to go back to the hotel to work after eating, I really wanted to sit and slowly refill a few bowls

If you come to Luoyang and don't drink a bowl of beef soup, you will be embarrassed to say that you have been to Luoyang. With the crazy recommendation of my friend, I came to the first beef soup restaurant on Longlin Road. I heard that it is very popular on weekdays. I arrived at 11:30 on Saturday noon, and there were not many people. Environment: I heard that this store has been open for more than 20 years. You know, it is an old store, so the requirements for hygiene and other things are not so high. Beef soup^ I ordered a 20 yuan beef soup. My friend said that his family has 8 yuan, but I didn't see it on the self-service machine. Maybe it was cancelled. It is recommended not to put chili oil. Although the chili oil is not spicy, it covers the taste of the beef soup. It tastes oily. You can put less. It tastes good when soaked in shredded pancakes. The meatballs are 6 for one yuan, and the crunchy teeth are okay. In general, it is okay. It is not so amazing, but it is not a thunder. It is quite anti-hunger. Those who like to drink beef soup can come and try it.

Super pure beef soup, sprinkled with chopped green onions, it is very fragrant and the soup is delicious

Every recommendation is field-tested, so even beginners can copy it! 🌟 3-Day Itinerary: No Backtracking DAY 1: Divine Capital Cultural Route (Immersive Historical Site Tour) - Morning (7:30-11:00): Longmen Grottoes. Arrive early and head straight to the Vairocana Giant Buddha. After 10:00, the crowds surge. After taking photos of the main Buddha, explore the other caves along the Yishui River to avoid the peak tour group rush. - Noon (12:00-1:30): Enjoy the first-time beef soup on Longlin Road. Make sure to go to "Longlin Road's First Beef Soup Shop." The first-time beef soup, which opens at 5:30, is the freshest. Pair it with freshly grilled beef scallions and a bottle of local Haibi soda for a refreshing and authentic experience. Afternoon (2:30 PM - 5:00 PM): White Horse Temple and Luoyang Museum. Visit the Four Kingdoms Buddhist Halls at White Horse Temple and take exotic photos of the Indian Hall. Make an appointment three days in advance through the Luoyang Museum's official account. Focus on the museum's treasure, the White Jade Cup, to avoid Monday closings. Evening (6:30 PM - 9:00 PM): Luoyi Ancient City. Enter through the South Gate and take pictures of the ancient reflections by the small bridge. Choose a chest-length ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress). The lighting creates a vibrant atmosphere. A free live performance will be available around 8:00 PM. Day 2: Natural Wonders Route (Escape the Summer Heat + Enjoy the Scenic Views) Dawn (5:00 AM - 7:30 AM): Catch the Sunrise at Laojun Mountain. Take the Level 1 Cable Car to Zhongling. Around 6:20 AM, the Golden Summit will be bathed in golden light. The temperature at the summit fluctuates 15°C, so bring a light jacket and wear non-slip shoes. Morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Jiguan Cave. The constant temperature of 18°C ​​is perfect for a summer getaway. Follow your guide to hear stories about stalactites and take photos with flash for stunning results. No need to bring extra layers. - Noon (12:00-1:30 PM): Luanchuan Tofu Banquet. The traditional Luoyang tofu soup is a must-try; the tofu is so tender it melts in your mouth. It's 30 yuan per person and you'll be full. - Afternoon (2:30-5:30 PM): Chongdu Valley Hike. Wear slippers! You can play in the stream, and the bamboo forest trail is super cool. The Water Curtain Cave at the end is perfect for taking forest-themed photos. - Evening (7:00-8:30 PM): Longfengshan Ancient Town. Explore the snack street and try Luanchuan cornmeal porridge. There's a light show at 8:00 PM. It's less crowded than Luoyi Ancient City, so taking photos is less crowded. Day 3: Golden Era Experience Route (Eat + Photo + Tracing the Origin) - Morning (9:00-11:30 AM): Erlitou Xia Capital Ruins. See the remains of the "earliest Chinese" palace and listen to a guide explain the history of the Xia Dynasty. Perfect for visitors who enjoy cultural heritage, the area is uncrowded and quiet. - Noon (12:30-14:00): Enjoy an immersive Tang Dynasty banquet at Yingtianmen. Experience the Tang dynasty's separate dining system, enjoy exquisite dishes, and even get to wear Tang costumes for photos. The price per person is over 100 yuan, making it feel more ceremonial than at regular restaurants. - Afternoon (14:30-16:30): Mingtang Paradise. Skip the entrance and take photos of the building's reflections from the glass terraces and Hanfu silhouettes against the red walls. These photos are even more stunning than inside the museum and save you the entrance fee. - Evening (17:30-19:30): Shop at Xigong Street. Skip the line for Xiaojie pot stickers by going upstairs! Then grab Xingji gluten rolls and Xiaojie Tianfu Dandan noodles, and enjoy a wide selection of snacks for just 20 yuan per person. 🍜 Food Hits and Hits (No-Bumps Version) Must-Try List - Soups: Longlin Road's No. 1 Beef Soup (First Soup), Longmen Sandan Lamb Soup - Water Banquet: Xinghua Village Water Banquet (includes sliced ​​pork in soup and deep-fried meatballs, 50+ RMB per person) - Snacks: Xigong Street Pot Stickers, Xingji Gluten Rolls, Xiaojie Tianfu Dandan Noodles Guidelines - Avoid the Peony Cakes at Shizijie: They're mostly factory-made and taste mediocre. It's better to buy local brands at the supermarket. - Avoid Renting Hanfu at the Scenic Areas: Renting at the entrances of Longmen and Luoyi Ancient City is expensive. You can get Hanfu, makeup, and a hairstyle for just 79 RMB at Minzhu Street, which is much more cost-effective. 💡 Key Tips (Save Time and Money) 1. Transportation: Prefer shared trams within the city (traffic in the old city is severe). For Laojun Mountain, it's recommended to join a small day tour group, which is cheaper than taking a taxi and buying a cable car ticket. 2. Tickets: Teacher and student IDs are half-price, valid at both Laojun Mountain and Longmen Grottoes. Advance reservations are essential for museum entry, otherwise you won't be able to enter. 3. Hanfu: A kimono with a chest-length skirt will create a more elevated look than a cross-collared skirt. The red walls of Yingtianmen and the small bridges of Luoyi Ancient City are the best photo spots, with the light being the softest between 4 and 6 pm. 4. Off-peak hours: Enter Longmen Grottoes at 4:30 pm to enjoy the daytime scenery and then wait until 6:30 pm for the night view, allowing you to experience both with one ticket. #LuoyangTravelGuide #HenanLuoyangTravelRecommendations
