Imperial archaeology, Buddhist art and separate mountain excursions. Base near the urban metro network for Longmen, the old center and city museums. White Horse Temple lies east; Erlitou is farther east in Yanshi; Luanchuan and Song County mountains are separate long journeys. Luoyang Museum is fully closed from October 19, 2026 for renovation expected about a year.

Plan five days

The five-day route groups neighboring visits and protects a full day for a distant excursion. Use the attraction directory to find places that fit your interests. The booking planner helps you organize visit dates and reminders. If a booking schedule is not listed, check it directly with the venue.

Before committing to a visit

Bring the original passport used for any real-name booking. If the official form does not support your document, ask the venue for its accepted overseas-visitor process; do not enter a fabricated mainland identity number. Tickets for separate sites, branches, boats, lifts, performances and exhibitions are not automatically interchangeable.
