Luoyang Laojun & Jiguandong 7-Day Tour (Shopping-free · from Luoyang)

This is the arrival day: guests are met at the station/airport and transferred to the hotel with a brief pre-trip briefing. Early arrivals may explore nearby freely; the itinerary starts tomorrow.

White Horse Temple in eastern Luoyang, founded in the Eastern Han, is revered as China's first Buddhist monastery. Its pagoda and Burmese/Indian-style halls make it a serene, multicultural heritage site with two millennia of history.

Jiguandong near Luanchuan is a karst cave of fantastical stalactites lit for drama, with a constant cool temperature. Pair it with Longtan Gorge for a classic western-Henan geology day.

Chongdugou in Luanchuan blends bamboo groves, waterfalls and western-Henan farm life. With two waterfall zones and farm stays, it is a rare 'jiangnan-style' retreat for family leisure in Henan.

Luoyi Ancient City in old Luoyang centers on the Wenfeng Pagoda as a heritage-craft quarter — Tang-style lanes, night lights, Tang sancai pottery and live shows, an easy entry to the 'millennium capital'.

Longmen Grottoes are carved into cliffs along the Yi River, with over 2,000 niches and 100,000+ statues; the Vairocana Buddha at Fengxian Temple is breathtaking. Along with Dunhuang and Yungang, it is a pinnacle of Northern Wei to Tang stone carving.

Luoyang Museum centers on Heluo civilization; its Tang sancai pottery and Northern Wei figurines are superb. Paired with the nearby Sui-Tang ruins park, it makes a rewarding half-day cultural visit.
