    "One of the four famous buildings in China is relatively remote. The taxi fare from Yongji North Station to the scenic spot is basically 50 yuan. The whole building can also be the only regret. The local cultural tourism is not doing anything. The third to fifth floors are almost empty. It is too wasteful even if you put some exhibits and calligraphy and painting."

    85.2km from Sanmenxia

    "Mid-Autumn Festival night climbing. I started climbing at 8 pm, because I was a little slow to climb with my girlfriend, and I walked around 3:30 to Dongfeng in the middle. The road to climb was quite hot. After arriving at the top of the mountain, it was very cold during the sunrise. Be sure to bring your jacket. There are a lot of rest points along the way, and the mineral water is almost 6-8 yuan a bottle has not changed much. Very tired but very happy to see the sunrise"

    Highlights: Jiuzhouchi Ruins Park covers an area of 288 mu, including three parts: the Daineidian area in the northwest of Miyagi, the part of Taoguang Garden in the north of Miyagi, and the Jiuzhouchi Royal Garden in the west of Miyagi in the middle and north of the city. There are 12 ruins in total. A variety of scientific means for protective display. We hope that through means and forms such as the original site display of ancient ruins and ground simulation, more people can learn about the style and appearance of the imperial gardens in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As the Imperial Palace of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jiuzhou Pool actually existed in history. According to the records of "Tang Liang Jingchengfang Kao", "Jiuzhou Pool, its pool is curved, and there are several islands in the pool, like Jiuzhou in the East China Sea, with an area of ten hectares, water depth of more than ten feet, birds and fish swimming, and flowers planting." In 1960, archaeologists discovered it while excavating Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Gongcheng District of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was composed of the central core area and many small cities around it. Jiuzhou Pool is located in the north-central part of Xige City on the west side of Miyagi Ouchi, accounting for about two-fifths of Xige City. The scope of "ten hectares of residence" in the records is based on the land-duty system of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, one foot was about 29.5 centimeters, and ten hectares was about 520,000 square meters, which was larger than the entire Xige City. However, the actual archaeological measurement of the water area of Jiuzhou Pool is about 139,250 square meters. Chinese classical garden art occupies a pivotal position in Chinese traditional architecture. The forms of Chinese landscape gardens, represented by literati gardens and royal gardens, are all aimed at pursuing the spiritual realm of nature, so as to achieve the aesthetic pursuit of "although made by man, it is like nature", and embody the cultural concept of "the unity of man and nature". This is completely consistent with the overall architectural concept of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As a royal garden, Jiuzhou Pool not only embodies the combination of nature and humanities, but also the concept of harmony and unity between man and nature, as well as the "ritual system" in traditional Chinese culture.

    "The teacher is rich in knowledge. In the museum's several exhibition halls, the history of Luoyang is vivid and interesting. The treasure hall on the second floor takes everyone to see the five treasures of the town hall, and guides everyone to see the various exquisite items of the Forbidden City Cining Palace. The collection is too rich and it is worth seeing. Be sure to follow the explanation!"

    Highlights: The number and quality of items in Luoyang Museum's collections can be compared with many provincial-level museums. Luoyang was the ancient capital of 13 of China's dynasties. There are many rare treasures in the museum's collections. The main building of the museum consists of two floors with a number of different exhibits, showcasing the history of the ancient capital of Luoyang, ancient culture, bronze wares, Tang sancai wares, and many other historical relics. In addition to cultural relics unearthed in the area, the Luoyang Museum also holds a collection of treasures from the Palace Museum, so you can also see some items that came directly from the Forbidden City.

    "Although it is modern reconstruction, it is built on the site of Luoyang City in Sui and Tang Dynasty. Regardless of the appearance design, architectural structure and internal furnishings, it strives to create a Shengtang weather, focusing on the restoration of Wuzhouzhi, which is worth seeing."

    "The ancient capital of the 16th Dynasty, Luoyang. Luoyang Rail Transit Line 2 can go to the side of the scenic spot. It is convenient to travel. The scenery is more beautiful at night than during the day. The opposite is Mingtang Paradise. The two scenic spots are separated by a road."

    Highlights: Yingtianmen is the south gate of Luoyang City Palace City in Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was built in the first year of Daye in Sui Dynasty, that is, in AD 605. It has gone through four periods of Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty successively. The Jinbing was burnt and used for 523 years. Yingtianmen was an important place for holding major state celebrations and diplomatic activities at that time. If Yuanzheng, Winter Solstice, Chenle, banquets, pardoning sins, removing the old and clothing the new, when the tributary messengers of all countries, the guests of the four barbarians and other important celebrations, the emperors all came to listen to the government. Similar to the current Beijing Meridian Gate. This city gate has witnessed the prosperity of the dynasty when Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty entered the Eastern Capital, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty released King Fuyu of Baekje, the queen ascended the throne and became emperor, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received the eighth envoy from Japan to the Tang Dynasty. Every Shangyuan Festival, Yingtianmen Square will also hold a grand Baixi performance. When it is grand, the performance team will stretch from here to the main south gate of Guocheng, which is 4 kilometers away. Yingtianmen has different names in different periods: it was built in the early Sui Dynasty, according to the "Analects of Confucius", "Only the sky is the greatest, only Yao is the rule", taking the meaning of "taking the sky as the rule", so it is called "Zetianmen"; the first year of Tang Shenlong 705 During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian of Tang Dynasty, after avoiding Wu, he was honored as "The Great Sage Emperor Zetian" and renamed Yingtianmen. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, this building was renamed Wufeng Building, and Wufeng Building was used until the Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jinbing invaded the Central Plains, Luoyang became a battlefield and was severely damaged. Jinbing burned down the building. The city of Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was prosperous for more than 530 years, gradually faded out of people's sight. Yingtianmen is one of the buildings that can show identity and status in the Chinese etiquette system. "Yuan·Henan Chronicle" records: the main gate of the palace city is called Zetianmen, the gate has two views, the upper one is called Ziwei microscopic, the left and right are connected with the ques, and the ques are 120 feet high. Calculated at 29.4 centimeters per foot in the Tang Dynasty, equivalent to about 36 meters today, this magnificent tower is almost twelve or three stories high today. The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once looked south on Yingtianmen and wrote a poem: "Longmen Cui Dai Mei is opposite, Yishui Golden Line is a line". From Yingtianmen, you can see Longmen Yique, which is 15 kilometers away, showing the majesty of Yingtianmen.

We will return to the "world under heaven" in the minds of the ancients, awaken the sleeping Chinese civilization under this land, and trace the origins of civilization and explore the center of the world amidst the changing times and vicissitudes of life.ThonglorLuoyang was also the crossroads of transportation in ancient China, the intersection of water and land. The Sui and Tang Dynasty Canals, the Wanli Tea Road, the Prairie Silk Road, the Desert Silk Road, and the Maritime Silk Road were all transportation arteries from different periods that converged in Luoyang, forming a "five-way road to Luoyang" transportation pattern. They were not only economic and trade roads, but also cultural exchanges. The road has injected a steady stream of living water into the historical process of Luoyang's prosperity for thousands of years.Cultures collide and merge in exchanges. We will transform into ancient people, listen to the camel bells in the desert, walk through the ancient sand and sea roads, meet merchants and dealers in boats and carts, retrieve the "treasures" left behind by our predecessors along the way, and return to the "Five Roads" "Luo" the wonders and prosperity.God is a dream"If you ask about the prosperity and failure of ancient and modern times, please just look at Luoyang City."

What does the world in her eyes look like? From the perspective of peony, in the cycle of four seasons and the flow of time and space, we can explore the beauty of the country and feel the growth and decline of all things. We can see the scene of peonies in full bloom, which "moves the capital in blooming season", and experience flowers blooming step by step and poetry waving with sleeves like a giant.Heluo holds the lanternThe twenty-four solar terms are an important part of traditional culture. They reflect the wisdom and romantic feelings of ancient Chinese people, and embody the long history and profoundness of Chinese culture.

    "My itinerary: Zhongling Cableway-Zhongtianmen-Fenglin Cableway-Wonderland Tunnel-Shili Painting Screen-Jinding Daoguanqun-Fenglin Cableway Going Down the Mountain-Zhongling Cableway Going Down the Mountain. I still need to take some roads to climb some mountains after taking the cableway. It’s okay to walk and stop and take pictures, not very tired. The mountain is colder than the mountain, and you need to bring a coat. Shili Painting Screen has a beautiful scenery all the way, it is worth seeing"
