Luoyang Surrounding Tours "Weipo·Xinxu" Weekends Should Head to Nature

Newly checked-in one-day city work tour in Luoyang! If you haven't been to Weipo·Xinxu, you really have no say! The first time stepping into the ancient two-, three-, and five-compound houses was truly shocking, really touching the 400-year-old time imprint in an ancient village! Weipo Xinxu, a hidden treasure landmark in Mengjin, Luoyang, perfectly blends the millennium heritage of 567 Qing Dynasty ancient houses and 76-hole cave dwellings with trendy play, food, and natural wild charm. As the largest Qing Dynasty architectural complex in western Henan, the Weipo ancient village is the soul and foundation of the scenic area. The bluestone paths wind and twist, and the five-compound courtyards with blue bricks and black tiles are super impressive! Inside the ancient residences, there are also old-style photo studios, wool felt art shops, and more. The soft handmade works complement the rustic old houses, full of artistic vibes! The cultural and creative shops are also a creative collision of trendy play and intangible cultural heritage, covering joyful supply stations for all ages. From trendy blind boxes to intangible heritage handicrafts, every shop hides surprises. • Specialty collection store: The Itchy Stop Shop’s nonsensical slogans and fun sundries bring a knowing smile, and the train-themed photo scene is super unique; • Lazy Convenience Store focuses on a "lazy yet serious" lifestyle attitude, with endless trendy items exclusive to young people! There is also Luoyang’s local Zhen Daodan cultural creativity, with dialect postcards, archaeological blind boxes, NFC pendants, and more full of Luoyang cultural characteristics, perfect for gifts or keeping. The sunken Crescent Lake is my favorite place and a treasure spot for photos. Walking along the lake, shaded by green trees on the shore, sitting down to rest and lie flat for a couple of hours. On the day we came, it was overcast with light drizzle, the moist air and mild temperature were very relaxing! You can bring your own picnic mat, watch the sparkling lake surface, and enjoy rare slow moments. Xixi Valley Zoo: Following the signs and walking down the sunken winding path leads to Xixi Valley, a fairy-tale park for family fun. Many adults bring children to interact closely with animals and unlock various amusement projects. The petting zoo has capybaras, alpacas, sika deer, Shaun the Sheep, and more than a dozen cute animals, allowing children to immerse themselves in the joy of feeding and quietly complete a vivid life education lesson. Check-in lake loop special project: The lake loop steam train is also very interesting. While riding, you can enjoy close-up lake views and also see the greenery of Xixi Valley and the petting zoo from afar! The food street’s delicacies are spread across the main street, the large lawn creative market, and the No. 1 parking area’s spring market. From local specialties to popular snacks, there’s something for everyone! Locals recommend Weipo tofu! I think on this day, getting up early to go to Chaoyang Town for iron-simmered mutton soup before coming to Weipo makes the trip smoother! The scenic area is also pet-friendly. You can walk pets on the lakeside lawn, just remember to keep them on a leash and clean up after them.
