In recent years of doing customized tourism in Luoyang, it has been found that 90% of friends from other places only visit Shaolin Temple when they come to Henan 😅  In fact, the truly divine is this 3-day, 2-night route that gathers "Cloud Sea+Grottoes+Ancient Temples+Museums" in one go - personally tested without detours, without exposure to the sun, and with a stable budget.

🗓️  Day 1 | Longmen Grottoes (after 4pm) Don't go in the morning! At noon in summer in Luoyang, the temperature is above 35 ℃, and the open-air grottoes are exposed to the sun, making one doubt life. It is recommended to enter after 16:00. There are many shaded spots on the western mountain, and walking to the Great Buddha in Lushe is just enough to catch the sunset. The stone walls are gilded beyond the area 📸  After strolling along the way, go to Xiangshan Temple and Baiyuan to enjoy the breeze. The night tour is open until 21:00, and the atmosphere is full.   🎫  Adult ticket is 90 yuan (45 yuan for students), it is recommended to ask for an explanation, otherwise it will be like "looking at stones".

🌄  Day 2 | Laojun Mountain Day (Golden Summit Sunset+Lighting) The Golden Summit Taoist Temple Group and Ten Mile Painting Screen at the main peak of Funiu Mountain are the highlights! Take a first-class cableway up the mountain (round-trip cost about 230 yuan), walk the suspended plank road through the peak forest, and be sure to wait until sunset and the golden roof lights up. The palace in the sea of clouds is like a palace in the sky 🌌  On the same day, the average cost of the bus to and from Luoyang city is about 80 yuan per person.   ⚠️  Important reminder: There may be temporary closures/flow restrictions in Laojun Mountain. Before departure, be sure to check the official announcement of "Laojun Mountain" and do not run away in vain.

🛕  Day 3 | White Horse Temple+Luoyang Museum (morning → afternoon) At 8am, enter the White Horse Temple - the ancestral home of Chinese Buddhism, with red walls and green trees paired with Buddhist temples in the styles of China, India, Thailand, and Myanmar. You can take exotic photos without leaving your country. In the afternoon, hide in Luoyang Museum (free! You need to make an appointment in advance on the official account). The temperature of 26 ℃ is just right for the summer. You must see Tang Sancai Special Area and Heluo Civilization Exhibition. The milk nail pattern bronze barons of the Xia Dynasty and white jade cups of the Cao and Wei Dynasties are the treasures of the museum. 17: High speed rail return after 30, perfect ending 🚄

💡  3 practical tips: ① Stay in the old city area/Xigong district, walking to Luoyi Ancient City and Cross Street, with an average of 2 nights per person for about 400 yuan; ② Luoyang Water Mat, Lamb Soup, Non Flip Soup, and Noodles are must eat items, all at the Cross Street Night Market for 30 yuan; ③ Luoyi Ancient City Hanfu rental is 50-80 yuan/day, and when the night lights are on, you can easily take big shots.

With an average of around 1200 yuan per person (including accommodation, transportation, and tickets), you can enjoy the city of Shendu by silk skating, which is much more worry free than blind strolling
