Luoyang 4-Day Group Tour: White Horse Temple

Enter White Horse Temple early in the morning and take advantage of the morning light to quietly tour among the red walls and green cypresses, focusing on Qi Yun Tower and the two exotic Buddhist halls; in the afternoon, enjoy free activities and take the opportunity to retake photos from the central axis angle, then return to the hotel in the evening. It is recommended to first see the permanent exhibition or the main hall, and then visit the special exhibition areas. The highlights of White Horse Temple are concentrated, so there’s no need to spread your effort evenly.

Attraction Introduction: Next, we walk into White Horse Temple. White Horse Temple is located in the east of Luoyang City, originally built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is honored as "China's first ancient temple." It was the first government-sponsored temple after Buddhism was introduced to Central China. Qi Yun Tower, the Burmese-style Buddhist hall, and the Indian-style Buddhist hall each possess distinct exotic charm. Among the red walls and green cypresses, one can quietly appreciate the two thousand years of Buddhist followers. The Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Great Buddha Hall, and the Qi Yun Tower Courtyard are the most worthwhile to examine in detail.

Warm Tips: The overall walking intensity is moderate to high, so it is recommended to wear comfortable sneakers and bring a light jacket according to the weather; keep your documents with you, follow the guide during the tour, and remember the meeting arrangements. Based on past experience, children’s attention to explanations usually lasts only about ten minutes; plan the pace of walking according to the slowest person. Overall, there are many halls in the temple, so wear shoes suitable for walking; respect religious etiquette and do not make noise or take photos inside the halls.

Today's hydro-tour focuses on Liubu Pool and Yixian Sky, allowing you to experience the 'ultimate gorge' red rock landscape; in the afternoon, rest, and stay overnight. For those with children, it is recommended to visit at off-peak times, bring some snacks and water, prioritize activities that are highly interactive and hands-on, and avoid a packed schedule.

Attraction Introduction: The highlight of the itinerary is Liubu Pool and Yixian Sky, located in Xin'an, where wonders such as red rock ridges and valleys and water flowing uphill are concentrated, earning the title of 'ultimate gorge.' The Liubu Pool and Yixian Sky trails are very water-friendly and especially refreshing in summer, making them a family water destination not far from the city.

Warm Tips: There are many mountain roads, with cooler mornings and evenings and significant temperature differences between areas. Equip yourself with a light jacket and non-slip shoes, and watch your step on stairs and walkways when wet. Carry valid identification, follow the guide, and remember the meeting times and places. Most visitors feel that Liubu Pool and Yixian Sky are worth a dedicated trip; pay attention to details with the guide and allow enough time for photos. From personal experience, the hiking trails are relatively long, and watch your step in water play areas; in summer, the water flow is at its most magnificent.
