How to choose the number of days

The most comfortable configuration for watching the sunrise of Laojun Mountain, Longmen Gate, Baima Temple, and Luoyang Museum is to give Luoyang 3 whole days. Zhengzhou only supplements the museum and the Yellow River to avoid Zhengzhou occupying 2 days and affecting the schedule of Laojun Mountain.
