Actually, there are many more fun places in Luoyang besides these six, such as Wangcheng Park, Luoyang Museum, Luoyang Planning Exhibition Hall, Sui-Tang City Ruins Botanical Garden, Luoyang Library, Tianxin Cultural Industry Park, Minzhu Street, Heluo Academy, Chongdu Valley... and dozens of other famous attractions. So, just 2 to 3 days in Luoyang is far from enough; you need at least 4 to 5 days to fully enjoy yourself!

This time, my friend and I chose to stay at XbedInn Luanchuan Flagship Store, located in the "back garden of Luoyang." The hotel is filled with rich Chinese cultural charm—elegant calligraphy and paintings, misty bamboo lamps, surrounded by greenery, blending natural and classical elements, and gathering a myriad of historical and cultural flavors.

It felt very comfortable and stunning. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, switching to different rooms each day,

including a vintage room, a view room, and a tatami room. Each room had its own distinct character.

Moreover, the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the view room offered such a comfortable view, and at night I could even soak in the bathtub—absolutely delightful!

Come to Luoyang this summer vacation, and you will definitely have unexpected and pleasant surprises!
