Luoyang is a very historical city, when I was a child, I like to read tomb raiding novels, which will often mention Luoyang, in my mind, Luoyang in ancient times must be a very prosperous place, so what is fun in Luoyang?
Luoyang three-day tour guideLuoyang, the fascinating thing is so a city, clean and lazy fireworks. The people are simple and simple cultural heritage is strong, the commercialization is not strong, the price is simply cabbage. The local people are very warm and easy-going (ask for directions to the bus can remind me three times to get off the kind of), although in June is really hot with the steamer like.
I live in the old city streets in front of the Lijingmen, not far from the Drum Tower, centuries-old shops and attractions are mainly concentrated in the old city, the traffic is also convenient, and the night view of the old city is very beautiful ~
Thanks to the imperial capital of Luoyang, which all the way to the Museum of the ancient city wall of the barren history of the level of at least one level up.
The entire Luoyang City, the most prosperous and magnificent attractions, Wu Zetian ascended the throne of the palace. Mingtang for Wu Zetian on the court ruling the hall, heaven for Wu Zetian for Buddha induction of heavenly pagoda. The night view is lit up with gold and blue to stunning. The attraction closes at nine o'clock, but you can find angles to take photos from outside, and be careful to dodge the square-dancing amazons at the entrance. (Specialized nine-thirty taxi to take a night shot and hit
The paradise was then built as China's tallest wooden building, but it is said that the paradise had been burned twice, the first time is Wu Zetian's male favor Xue Huaiyi jealousy secretly burned Mingtang extended to the paradise (and so Wu Zetian the first time after the restoration of the top of the tower of the phoenix replaced the fire beads), and the second time is the Anshi Rebellion, the fire of war once again engulfed the paradise (replaced and did not have what use).
Since it was only opened to the public in 2015, the whole attraction is very new, and the golden light is simply dazzling once you enter the main hall. The combination of technological projections and attractions is great, and there are costume shows at different times. At present, the only real site in the Paradise Hall of Light is the traces of the original load-bearing columns.
Also known as the "Luoyang Museum of Ancient Art" (in fact, all the tombs) in the northern suburbs, mainly two Han, Wei Jin, Tang and Song dynasty Mangshan tomb sites, including many superb tomb murals, and the ticket is free of charge, brush ID card will be able to enter.
Luoyang has always been the paradise of grave robbers, the entire museum is divided into above ground mural area and underground burial area, is really need to go down to the grave. Ground 32 ℃ to the tomb room instant 21 ℃, more than two thousand years of four dynasties of the tomb group that eerie cold air relief effect is awesome, hit the light color effect and bizarre, really exciting.
There are four dynasties in the exhibition hall, including ten or so holes in the tomb, the tomb scattered with tomb beasts and pottery and other funerary objects, the tomb room is generally arch-shaped, the historical background of each tomb room have a detailed introduction. The treasure of the museum is a stone coffin carved with peonies.
The Jingling Mausoleum, the tomb of the son of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, is independently partitioned for visits. Entering the mausoleum, there is a long downward-sloping dirt path leading to the chamber, with guardian stone statues on the left and right, and a complete sarcophagus in the back hall. The tomb is extraordinarily shady compared to those next to it.
Luoyang's signature, listed as a world heritage 5A art treasure (world heritage, means even if a world war breaks out this place is absolutely safe), has lasted for 500 years through several dynasties, including Wei, Tang and Song, and has more than 100,000 Buddha statues, with the largest statue at 17 meters and the smallest at just 2 centimeters.
Longmen Grottoes East Mountain and West Mountain Grottoes, although the two sides of the straight line on the length of 1 kilometer or so, but 2345 caves is too much, the staircase is repaired in front of the caves up and down the staggered, if you listen to the explanation, strolling down the feeling of walking down the ability to 100,000 steps many statues were stolen chiseled are incomplete, the most spectacular Rusheshena Buddha's right hand was chiseled down the flow of overseas, is now in New York, the United States. Ancient people chiseled on the stone wall of such a fine stone statue is really amazing, fingers, clothing, lines, posture, expression, demeanor are lifelike.
On the top of the Lotus Cave, engraved with fine and elaborate relief lotus, on the top of the Medicine Cave, engraved with a complete list of more than one hundred and forty ancient medicinal prescriptions, in the Wanfo Cave on both sides of the wall, neatly engraved with fifteen thousand only 4cm high small Buddha In addition to the submerged Creek Temple, Guyang Cave, the cliffs of the three Buddha niches, three holes in the ringing drums to look at the scriptures of the Temple and so on each also stunning.
But after climbing that pile of caves on the west mountain I have died in battle.
Bai Juyi's cemetery, on Pipa Peak in Longmen East Mountain, Bai Juyi's poem, "The door is always flowing, the wall of many tall trees. Bamboo path around the lotus pond, haunting more than a hundred steps." The design of the White Garden is thoughtfully eight or nine percent close to this. Just like the style of Bai Juyi's life, the garden is simple and elegant, with flowers in three seasons, evergreen in all seasons, and winding paths. Ten minutes and five minutes to climb to the body of the tomb. Perhaps because of the literary honorary title may also be too clean, Bai Juyi's tomb has not been stolen.
Lijingmen is a city building built in the Sui Dynasty to recreate the style of the ancient capital of Luoyang, a circular wall, can be climbed before nine o'clock at night, the night view is very beautiful. I climbed from 7:30 to watch the sunset until nine o'clock into the night, from the Lijingmen overlooking the entire old street at night, to see the moon rise (I went to the day just fifteen full moon).
The Lijing Gate is a foodie's paradise at night, full of oyster cakes, non-turnover soup everywhere, and pear paste candy.
Every ancient city will have a drum tower, this Luoyang drum tower was built in the Ming Dynasty, 350 years ago. It is located in the middle of East Street, opposite the bustling Lijingmen Gate, but few tourists wander here. Compared to the Drum Towers in Beijing and Xi'an, which are prominent landmarks, the Luoyang Drum Tower is more of an unassuming old building that blends in with the city. The Drum Tower street is basically the local people here to open some calligraphy and paper stores, the old city atmosphere is very strong, quiet and vicissitudes.
Luoyang, one of the eight small scenes - _ gully Zhu Cherry, including a tower, a cabinet and a bridge, a tower and a cabinet were respectively Tuancheng Pavilion, Zhu Cherry Tower, through the Lopu Zhu Cherry Bridge relative. Geographic location is relatively hidden, in addition to photography and local people to tower under the square dance, basically no visitors, very quiet and peaceful. But really beautiful to take pictures of the blind spot are not at all. In the spring, the river slope will also be full of cherry blossoms, lined with vermilion Jusakura Tower, _ Gully Jusakura beauty will be dripping.
Luoyi Ancient City is considered an ancient city of commerce and culture, known as the "ferry port of the Central Plains", "Luoyi" is a representative of Chinese civilization, the Wenfeng Pagoda is the site.
The ancient city is basically a dead silence during the day, the night will be lively, the ancient city lights, the river is very soft at night, just lying on the stone steps to look at the building of the moon is also a very good enjoyment.
Luoyang sign of the second, the White Horse Temple for China's first ancient temple, the first temple built when Buddhism was introduced to China, well-preserved. There are a lot of local old people to go to the incense to worship Buddha kowtow, the temple incense flavor is very strong.
White Horse Temple is the most special point, is the temple in addition to the ancient Chinese characteristics of the Daxiong Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Drum Tower and other Chinese temples, there are India, Thailand, Myanmar to spend huge sums of money to build foreign Buddhist temples, standing in the high-rise to see the left and right architectural style is really the picture of a sudden change.
Thailand's golden light, India brick really, China's ancient colors. To exaggerate, in the Myanmar Buddhist temple area to choose an angle to take a selfie to send a circle of friends to say that they are traveling in Myanmar, but also can really deceive people. A ticket to visit the Buddha's temple in three countries, really novel. (Although not quite understand Buddhism)
Guanlin for the burial of the Three Kingdoms when the Shu general Guan Yu head place, Three Kingdoms fans can not miss the attractions. Inside the complex is very rich, there are incense temples, the Peach Garden of the Peach Garden, small bridges and ponds, cypress gardens, "mound, temple, forest" three rituals in one.
Top of the temple hangs a lot of plaques describing Guan Yu, I personally is the most revered Guan Yu, capable of writing and martial arts, moral demeanor, character, and known as the long bearded man (run away from the side), but also by Cao Cao is so valued. It is a pity that righteousness does not allow heroes.
Luoyang Museum is one of the first national-level museums, the architectural appearance of the square tripod-like atmosphere flat. The collection is breathtakingly rich, and admission is still free.
In the treasure hall of the Luoyang Museum, I saw at least four ancient relics that I had read about in history books, and the treasure of the museum is the "inlaid turquoise bronze plaque", "the bronze knight with milky nail pattern", "the three-color black-glazed horse", and "the white jade cup".
When I saw it with my own eyes, I was surprised to see that the bronze craftsmen had reached such a high level during the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, when bronze was first introduced to China, the pottery industry in the Western Zhou Dynasty was already at a high level, so I personally believe that the Western Zhou Dynasty was able to develop and refine its own Chinese bronze culture based on its inherent earthenware technology, and China's ability to learn has always been great.
Finally, there is a museum located in the city center square.
The cool sculpture of the Son of Heaven driving six horses is very eye-catching, but I didn't realize that the museum was actually underneath the sculpture, so it took quite a bit of effort to find it. This museum is the main site of the King of Zhou's carriage pit (I heard that Luoyang excavated hundreds of burial pits, but there are too many photos after the backfill of the Luoyang no more land ah) at the beginning of the first due to the Qin Shi Huang burned books and pitted scholars, the history of the book has been no accurate record of the King of Zhou horses a few driving until this pit was excavated, only to be confirmed in the "Son of Heaven driving six! "The first time I've seen this is when I've had a chance to see a lot of people.
What's great is that there are free interpreters inside, I met that day is a little old lady, explaining that vivid image, the voice and catch up with the comic, drag her blessing I do have a deep impression of the Zhou Dynasty rituals and horse culture, she that "we all imagine that if we give them a minute of life, is not necessarily a wagon heh heh sheng flag hunting! The scene of the incomparable grandeur", really absolute.
Legendary Confucius Laozi meeting place, I thought this piece of monument may be a scenic spot, or placed in Wangcheng Park and so on, the result is perfectly hidden in the old city of Dongtong Lane, next to the home or a fruit seller, the location of the low-key almost didn't find. The feng shui, living in Dongtongxiang children are the material of the examination key.
Luoyang City's largest comprehensive park, built on the site of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty King City and named. It is indeed comprehensive enough, the park peony garden, zoo, ancient culture area, oceanarium, playground, and often be trolled "in the animal stench in the peony in the end what is the experience ah", before the peony cultural festival, but I went to the peonies have already bloomed defeat, just in the park to stroll around. Many locals bring their kids here to exercise and play.
Every city has its own snack street, and in Luoyang it's the Old Town Cross Street. The food street, not much to say, what you want to eat to buy what you want to stroll. Fried yogurt grilled squid grilled wings grilled skewers grilled cold noodles grilled scallops fried rice noodles intestinal noodles are snack street standard. However, the old street after five o'clock to open, both sides hung with red lanterns or very food street atmosphere.
Well, after the sights, the next step is of course the food. In Luoyang, I can not eat a meal but I must eat three popsicles.
Eating three days of Luoyang water feast, the Tang Dynasty feast tradition, meat and vegetables to have soup soup, and soup is acidic (in order to relieve the heat, right) outsiders are not necessarily eaten ah.
Luoyang is more famous old water seat is really different restaurants and pipe record water seat, but the pipe record is too difficult to line up, I went to its next door to the nine houses of water seat, the flavor is also very positive.
