Tour Luoyang: A Window into the Ancient Capital of 13 Dynasties, UNESCO Buddhist Art, and Kung Fu!
Luoyang (洛阳), located in the western part of Henan Province, is one of China’s oldest cities and holds the distinction of being the longest-serving imperial capital in Chinese history. As the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, where 105 emperors ruled, Luoyang boasts a rich imperial legacy that spans over 1,500 years. It is a cultural heart of China, home to some of the most significant historical landmarks, including UNESCO-recognized Buddhist art, royal tombs, and ancient temples.
Luoyang is also a key gateway for tours in Henan, offering an immersive experience in Chinese culture, imperial history, and martial arts. Its close proximity to the legendary Shaolin Temple adds to its appeal. Luoyang, this charming and poetic city, is often referred to as “The City of Peonies” due to its breathtaking displays of peony flowers, especially during the annual Peony Festival in April. Come and witness its finest beauty under heaven!
