Going on a summer vacation?

The most famous thing in Luoyang is the Longmen Grottoes. I remember that there was a bus from the People's Liberation Army Luoyang Foreign Languages ??Institute (which started there), and the last stop was the Longmen Grottoes. I think it’s quite appropriate to go to Longmen now, it’s very impressive! You can feel what "great rivers and mountains" mean. Don't forget that there are some grottoes across the Yi River. Next to Longmen Grottoes is Baiyuan, which is the bus terminal and Bai Juyi's cemetery. You can go in to pay homage and feel the poet's concern for the country and the people. Then on the way back to the city (in the south of Luoyang City) you can go to Guanlin, where Guan Yu's head is buried. There is a tourist bus from Dongguan (I remember it) in Luoyang City, and the end point is Baima Temple, the first Buddhist temple in my country. Even the ticket sellers are monks. You can go there to visit and learn about Buddhist culture. There is Di Renjie's tomb inside the White Horse Temple. The tower next to it is very interesting. If you high-five at a certain position, there will be echoes of frogs croaking. One day is enough for these attractions. You can take the bus to all of them. It doesn’t cost a lot of money. At most, it’s just the entrance fee for the attractions. I remember that the cheapest one was Baiyuan. At that time, a ticket only cost two yuan. In the evening, you can try Henan’s slurry noodles. You can wander around Luoyang the next day, and don’t forget to taste the local specialty beef soup or spicy soup in the morning. I haven’t been to Luoyang for several years, so I don’t know if anything has changed. I think Luoyang people are very welcoming.

The full ticket for Longmen Grottoes is 80 yuan, but because it is a world cultural heritage, the student ticket is 40 yuan, so you must bring your student ID. There is a bus from the train station to Longmen Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes The name of that station is "White Garden", and Longmen Grottoes contains 4 scenic spots in one ***. The overall consumption level in Luoyang is not very high, 400 should be enough for two days.

1. If there are other places in the city besides Longmen Grottoes, I would recommend you to go to White Horse Temple. The following are some notes about the White Horse Temple:

1. The White Horse Temple is located in the east of the old city of Luoyang. From the train station, take bus No. 56 (one yuan) and go directly to the White Horse Temple.

2. In 2004, the ticket price was RMB 34, and students could get it at half price. I don’t know now.

3. When going to White Horse Temple, don’t bring food that is forbidden to Buddhists. On the one hand, it shows respect for Buddhism; on the other hand, if the monks there see you eating sausages or something like that, , he will curse.

4. The White Horse Temple is known as the first ancient temple in China. When you walk into it, you will feel a sense of tranquility that you cannot usually experience. Compared with Songshan Shaolin Temple, there is less impetuous commercial atmosphere here, and it is easier for people to feel the purity of the Buddhist holy land. Moreover, the nuns at White Horse Temple are very young and beautiful. If you go early in the morning you can hear the morning bell, and at about 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening you can hear the evening drum.

Personally, I think White Horse Temple is a good choice to visit a Buddhist holy place with a pious heart

2. For counties in the suburbs

1. Baiyuan, Located on the Pipa Peak of Longmen Dongshan, 12 kilometers south of the city, it covers an area of ??44 acres. It is a park built based on the tomb of Bai Juyi, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the specific location is opposite Longmen Grottoes. It is separated by the Yi River in the middle. The train station can be reached by bus No. 81.

2. Mang Mountain is also known as Beimang. The highest peak is Cuiyun Peak. Directly north of the current urban area, there are eight scenic spots in Luoyang (Longmen Mountain, Masi Bell, Tianjin Dawn, Luopu). Autumn wind, Twilight rain on Bronze Camel, Spring sunshine on Golden Valley, Evening view of Mang Mountain, Morning visit to Pingquan).

3. Baiyun Mountain is located in the south of Song County. It is a natural virgin forest in the hinterland of Funiu Mountain. It covers an area of ??more than 40,000 acres. The clouds and smoke are sold deeply, and the peaks and mountains are looming. With an altitude of 2211.6 meters, Yuhuangding is the highest peak in the Central Plains. When you come here in May every year, you can enjoy the rhododendrons all over the mountain. As the old saying goes, "Luoyang is drunk with peonies in April", and in May, the peonies in Baiyun Mountain are in full bloom. This is a unique sight in Baiyun Mountain!

Accommodation recommendation

Go to Peony Square in Jianxi District (intersection of Xiyuan Road and Taiyuan Road) on the evening of the 14th. Nearby: There are many hotels, ranging from small hotels to 5-star hotels. There are quite a few peonies in Peony Square and the green belt of Yan'an Road. Business is relatively developed. The quality of the population is relatively high (you can ask the locals yourself). Choose a hotel to stay. Recommended: New Friendship Hotel (3 stars), Color Garden Hotel (high cost performance), they were talking face to face across the Peony Square.

On the morning of the 15th, visit Wangcheng Park or the National Colorful Peony Garden. The latter is recommended as it is the largest.

At noon, go to the Zhendong Hotel in the old city to enjoy a water banquet. There are also snacks such as noodles and spicy soup on the nearby streets.

If you go to Longmen in the afternoon, you can also visit the Baiyuan (Bai Juyi Tomb) next to it, which is good. One ticket, 80RMB.
