Two-day tour from Beijing to Luoyang

1, get the round-trip train ticket

Before departure, the top priority of the preparation work is to log on to the "Railway 12306 website" and get the round-trip berth ticket first. It is more than 800 kilometers from Beijing to Luoyang, and there are several trains that leave in the evening and arrive in the morning, which is quite convenient. Considering that you leave work late on Friday and go to work early on Monday, you choose K269 (Beijing West-Luoyang) on Friday and K270 (Luoyang-Beijing West) on Sunday.

As there are still a few days before the Qingming Festival and the opening of Luoyang Peony Festival, the tickets are not tight. I successfully bought a hard berth on the website of 12306, but it is basically the upper berth. After the online payment is successful, the ticket will be settled.

Step 2 book a hotel to stay in

I carefully read the comrades' comments on E Long and Ctrip, and also considered my own purse. Finally, I booked Jinjiang Inn (Luoyang Railway Station Store) with a favorable rate of 96% through E Long, with standard room 149 yuan/day, and the price was not bad.

At that time, I also noticed another highly rated "Aviation City Business Hotel". The reason why I didn't choose it is that it is a little far from the railway station. Later, when I visited Wangcheng Square, I saw a signboard hanging high in the distance. Looks like the location is really good.

3. Travel arrangements

After work on Friday, I went directly to the West Railway Station, arrived one hour early, and settled the dinner at the "real kung fu" on the second floor. The soup is very good, praise it ~

Waiting for the bus in waiting room 5, there are so many people waiting for the bus, which is beyond my expectation. However, I am in no hurry with a berth ticket in my hand. Finally, I checked in, got on the bus leisurely, and everything went well ~

Saturday (3.24)

Visit Longmen Grottoes in the morning (a well-deserved protagonist! )

The K269 train arrived at Luoyang Station, which was already half an hour late. After leaving the station, I bought a map of Luoyang, had breakfast at Yonghe Soymilk opposite the square (the quality was average) and went straight to Longmen Grottoes. There is an 8 1 through train from the railway station to Longmen Grottoes, and the station is on the east side of the square, 1.5 yuan/person. After waiting for a few minutes, the bus left and there were many people. It's a long way from the railway station to Longmen Grottoes. There may be more than 20 stops in the middle, and it will pass Guanlin Station in the middle. The bus ran for an hour or so before reaching the terminal-Longmen Grottoes, but the station is still some distance from the real scenic gate, and there is a market built like an antique street in the middle. Due to the recent road construction, the neighborhood was dusty and messy, so we took a taxi and pulled it directly to the gate of Longmen Grottoes Scenic Area. Admission 120 yuan/person, including Longmen Grottoes, Xiangshan Temple and Baiyuan Garden.

Go to eat lunch near Guanlin at noon.

From Longmen Grottoes, in order to save time, I hurried to eat lunch near Guanlin. 8 1 One bus stop is Guanlin. After getting off the bus, you can see a big archway on the east side of the road, and Guanlin Road is the way down. Because of the poor breakfast and the long journey in Longmen Grottoes, I was hungry for a long time, so I decided to find a place to eat nearby and then go to Guanlin after dinner, just to let me have a rest. I walked around Guanlin Road and found many Hunan restaurants in Luoyang. According to Mr. Ge's experience, he chose a Hunan restaurant and simply solved the lunch.

In the afternoon, visit Guanlin Temple.

Go east along Guanlin Road after dinner, not far from Guanlin Temple, and the intersection is opposite the ticket office. Tickets to 40 yuan/person, buy tickets and turn to Little Square in the back, and you will see the entrance of Guanlin Temple.

From Guanlin Temple, there is no.55 bus directly to the railway station opposite the ticket office. It feels good to have seats on the coin-operated bus, but there are many people on the bus after arriving at Tanggong East Road.

The hotel we booked is not far from the railway station. After we settled down in the past, we immediately went out and took a taxi to the Tian Zi Driving Six Museum in Wangcheng Square, but we were late. Tian Zi stopped selling tickets at 5 o'clock in Hall 6, which is inconsistent with the 6 o'clock introduced in some raiders. There is no choice but to go there the next day.

Visit Lijingmen in the evening and eat "It's different".

Lijingmen is near Xiguan station, and many buses pass by. It is also easy to find after getting off the bus. "Too bad" has a great reputation. From Lijingmen to "What a pity", you need to cross an old street in the middle. Seeing several snack bars selling "bean curd soup", "meatball soup" and "non-turning soup", I felt that the hygiene situation was average and I dared not try it. If you don't visit Lijingmen, go directly to "Really Different" and get off at "Market Street" station. This is a big frontispiece, which is easy to see.

Sunday (3.25)

Visit the White Horse Temple in the morning (Best Supporting Actor Award! )

The next day, I still went to the railway station first and took bus No.56 to Baima Temple. Bus stop 56 is also on the east side of the railway station, but it is not in the same place as bus stop 8 1. We should go further south and cross a T-junction next to the railway station square. An ordinary bus stop on the west side of the road is the starting point of bus stop 56.

There are White Horse Temple, Yun Qi Tower and Di Renjie's Tomb in the White Horse Temple. It takes a lot of time to go around.

At noon, take a taxi back to the hotel for an hour's lunch break

Because of continuous fighting, the temperature in Luoyang was higher than that in Beijing, and I was a little sleepy in spring, so I decided to go back to the hotel and sleep for a while.

In the afternoon, visit the Sixth Museum of Driving in Tian Zi.

After lunch break, I drove to Tian Zi No.6 Museum again. This time, I have enough time. There are two kinds of tickets, one is 30 yuan/Renren, and the other is 35 yuan/Renren, including a branch of Tanggong West Road Primary School.

We bought tickets for 35 yuan, first to see the main library, and then to see the branch library. Then I rushed back to Wangcheng Square to listen to the legendary open-air local drama performance. Although I don't understand it (probably Henan Opera), I feel quite popular. Throughout the square, there are many performing groups with good and bad equipment, but the actors are very serious.

In the evening, I had dinner at KFC in the railway station, then boarded K270 and returned to Beijing.

4. Impression of scenic spots

Impression of Longmen Grottoes (1)

The most shocking thing is the giant Buddha in Lushena, which is really distinguished and has a long charm! !

The whole grotto is built by water, and its temperament has always been graceful. In addition, there are many trees and palaces on the other side, which are completely different from the artistic conception of the other three grottoes. It is suggested that after seeing Yungang Grottoes, go to Longmen Grottoes immediately. We should be able to clearly see the changes of its sculpture style from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In addition, there are many broken grottoes and statues, which are heartbreaking!

(2) Impression of Guanlin Temple

On the way out of Longmen Grottoes, I went to Guanlin Temple. The yard has a simple temperament and a strong popularity. I didn't know until I went to Guanlin that this is the ancestor of Guandi Temple, which has a high reputation in Taiwan Province, Hongkong, Australia and Southeast Asia, so I was ignorant before.

At the same time, Hao Bocun's "Eternal Loyalty", Lien Chan's "Great Annan" and Wu Boxiong's "Great Virtue" are hung above the main hall of Guanlin. I wonder if it's Mark's turn next time.

(3) Impression of Baima Temple

For example, Guanlin is the Guandi Temple, and Baima Temple is also the ancestor of Buddhist temples all over China. Its status in Buddhism is highly respected and its style is quite primitive, but the floor tiles and handrails in the courtyard are very new, which is estimated to have just been renovated recently.

But the main hall says "Hall of Great Heroes", which is slightly different from the common "Hall of Great Heroes" elsewhere. I wanted to ask the master in the temple, but I finally gave up and decided to come back and verify it again.

In addition, when I first saw the Yun Qi Pagoda, I felt very similar to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi, but one was built in the Tang Dynasty and the other was rebuilt in the Jin Dynasty, but it was so similar. I wonder if there is another origin.

(4) The Emperor visited six museums.

It is a blessing for Luoyang to find such an important, ancient and prominent tomb in the city center, which is worth seeing.

However, the popularity of Buron, Guanbai and Guanguan here is much worse, especially the branch school of Tanggong West Road Primary School. When we visited in the past, only the administrator was in charge, which was very cold, but the administrator was very enthusiastic.

(5) Lijingmen

When we arrived at Lijingmen, it was already evening, and many red lanterns were hung in the urn, which was really lively.

Many old houses and shops in the city gate have retained their original appearance, which is somewhat similar to the old street where I lived when I was a child. This is a very kind feeling.

(6) White Garden and Di Tomb

Baiyuan Garden is Bai Juyi's graveyard, just at the eastern end of Longmen Stone Bridge. After visiting the grottoes, you can go by battery car.

Dee's Tomb is Dee Renjie's graveyard. I visited it in the garden between Baima Temple and Yun Qi Pagoda.

Bai Juyi and Di are two big names in the literary and political circles of Tang Dynasty, and they have unique views on the location of their own cemeteries. They visited Longmen Grottoes and Baima Temple by chance, which was not bad. I don't know if this is to increase the click-through rate by famous scenic spots ~

(7) Wangcheng Park

When I arrived at the door, I didn't go in, but the door was already crowded with people, and the popularity was really high! When we went, the Peony Festival had not yet opened, just in time for the weekend. I wonder if there are so many people at ordinary times?

5. About eating in Luoyang

Luoyang water mat is famous all over the world, and I am also attracted by it. After the Lijing Gate, I went straight to the legendary "what a pity". The spirit of "really different" is really different. The frontispiece is antique court style, the dining environment is bright and clean, and the waiter is the legendary Tang Dynasty maid-in-waiting, which looks very similar.

Click on "Peony Swallow" (60 yuan), "Fried Maruko" (35 yuan) and "Tangbao" (20 yuan) recommended on the Internet and visit several tables. It is also roughly sorted, and it is estimated that they all travel together. The serving speed is very fast, and the serving process of swallow dish and meatball is similar. After the dish is served, pour the broth on it and you can enjoy it.

In all fairness, the "soup-filling bag" is quite satisfactory, and the shape of "Peony Swallow" is ok, and the color is pretty good, but the taste is very general. There is a strong Chili flavor in the soup, including some shredded pork, shredded ham, shredded crab, Flammulina velutipes and so on. In the middle, it can be described as sparse and ordinary. The base material is the so-called "nine steamed and nine dried" shredded radish. "Fried meatballs" are more common, that is, the vermicelli meatballs are soaked. It is estimated that vegetarian meatballs sold in supermarkets in Beijing are all of this strength. Hey, I'm speechless ~

Later, I checked with the local people and got the answer that "local people hardly eat this, and foreigners come to eat it". Khan ~

Another driver told me that Luoyang water mat is a master of "no regrets after eating, no regrets after eating, and never eating a second trip again", but people are quite sure of the status and brand value of "Really Different", which is really sharp!

After eating "really different", I no longer have the courage to challenge "Taotaoju steamed stuffed bun". As for "paste noodles", I stay at a respectful distance from others.

In addition, the local Hunan cuisine in Luoyang is very popular. The brands of Hunan cuisine can be seen everywhere, as well as Sichuan hot pot and various noodle restaurants. We had lunch at a local Hunan restaurant. There are more people eating, and the taste has also improved to a certain extent. Between Hunan cuisine and Beijing home cooking, the overall situation is not bad.

After lunch the next day, there was no Hunan restaurant around the residence, so I found a chain of "Wudaoxiao Noodles" to deal with it. The "string incense" in the shop tastes good, which is a little comfort to my hungry stomach.

6. Traffic in Luoyang

There are direct buses from the railway station to famous scenic spots such as Long, Bai and Guan. But the bus lines are longer, so there are more people getting on the bus along the way. It is suggested to start from the departure station to find a seat conveniently. But this is just a bus trip. It will obviously be much more convenient if the hotel lives near the railway station.

In addition, there are many taxis in Luoyang, the starting price is 5 yuan, and the fuel cost is 1 yuan, which is quite cheap. However, the driver seems to have the impulse to detour, especially when taking a taxi around the scenic spot, so he needs to be careful of being slaughtered.

On the first day in Longmen Grottoes, we got out of Baiyuan Park and took a taxi to Guanlin. We asked the driver if he had hit the meter, and got a positive answer and got on the bus. The boarding place is at the gate of Baiyuan Park, which is the bridgehead of Longmen Bridge. After the driver starts the vehicle, he drives directly north. I flipped through the map in my hand, showing that there is a Longmen North Bridge leading to Longmen Avenue in North Point, but there is no reply. As a result, after the bus arrived at the intersection of Longmen North Bridge, the driver said that Longmen North Bridge would not be open to traffic until April 1, and Longmen Avenue was blocked, so he had to take the expressway to Guanlin exit and then transfer to Guanlin Temple. Friends who are familiar with Luoyang know how many miles they can miss at once. It is really a trick! I immediately asked to turn around and go back to Longmen Grottoes. I can't do it without going. Finally, I gave twenty yuan for the fare, sweat ~

To sum up, how important it is to prepare a map of Luoyang in order not to get lost!

The next day, I took a taxi back to the city at Baima Temple. When the driver saw that I had a map, he still suggested taking the national road, on the grounds that the traffic lights in the city would take a long time (obviously, taking the national road would take a few more miles, hehe ~), but I firmly refused. It turned out that I was right. It takes only 20 minutes to get to the hotel from Baima Temple, and it doesn't take much time. It cost 36 yuan RMB.

7. Some tips

(1) Yonghe Soymilk, opposite Luoyang Railway Station, has a bad breakfast and is not cheap. It is not recommended.

(2) There are bus stops on the east and west sides of the railway station square, among which bus No.81,No.55 and No.56 are on the east side.

(3) If there is a city map on the train station square, it is recommended to buy a spare one, which is especially useful when taking a taxi.

(4) The consumption in Luoyang is not too high, which is lower than that in Beijing. There are many shops in the street, so it is convenient to buy some drinks and the like.

(5) The buses in Luoyang are very convenient, but they don't give change. You'd better take some change of one yuan when you go out.

(6) There are many museums, parks and other cultural attractions in Luoyang city, so it is better to stroll for a few more days and then slowly.

(7) The urban area is relatively clean, and there are no quarrels and fights, so it is a civilized city.
