Luoyang City
You may not have much reaction when you talk about Luoyang City, but don't you feel shocked when you talk about the famous Chang'an City? Even though thousands of years have passed, but here mention the words Chang'an City, we can always see a magnificent and brilliant scene in front of us. The splendor belonging to the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, the prosperity belonging to the Tang Dynasty. Luoyang, once Chang'an, was once the place where more than 100 emperors condemned the Thule and ruled the country. As the capital of the emperors, this land had the most beautiful scenery, the most moving songs, the most elegant dances, the most delicious food, the sweetest wine and the most talented people. It was once the meeting place of dreams and the heyday of ancient Chinese civilization. Today, there is no ancient capital here, but the historical relics and cultural history left behind will not disappear with the years. Nowadays, when you go to Luoyang, you can still see the history of many cultural monuments existing in Luoyang. Through these monuments, you can also get a glimpse of the prosperous Chang'an.
