5 weeks in Luoyang...

by ChuckG - last update: Sep 27, 2005

5 weeks in Luoyang, summer 2005

Coming soon...Pagoda Forest
I spent 5 weeks in Luoyang summer of 2005 during two different visits. Even though the city has more than 3 million people, I felt like home after couple weeks and knew my way around. The city inhabitants are extremely welcoming and I was surprised every day by the way people had interest in helping me (not taking advantage!) and make my stay a pleasant one. I will be posting many tips soon ! (I'm still in Luoyang right now as I type this)

The most popular attractions of Luoyang are:
1) The White Horse Temple
See my future "Baimasi" page
2) The Shaolin temple
Again, see my separate "Shaolinsi"page
(I don't know why VT made these separate cities!?)
3) The Longmen Grottoes (world famous)
4) Wangsheng Park
Coming soon...White Horse Temple

White Horse Temple and more...

I'll be adding more tips as time allows. The White horse temple is a must see !
Coming soon...Longmen Grottoes, see the travelogue

Finding your way around

First, check out the map i posted in the "Transportation tips"...the map is hard to find and can be very useful.
