The Hanfu Evening Was So Much Fun

The Hanfu evening was something I almost skipped because I thought it might be too touristy. I'm very glad I didn't. Walking around Luoyi Ancient City dressed up, with the lights coming on and little performances happening around the streets, was genuinely fun. It was probably the most playful part of the trip after several days of museums and historical sites. Also, I ate far too many snacks that night.

Haha, the snacks are difficult to resist! We're happy you decided to give the Hanfu experience a try. It's a nice change of pace after the more historical parts of the itinerary.

Came for the Peonies

The peonies were the main reason I booked this trip, and luckily they were in really good shape when we visited. The National Peony Garden was huge and there were so many different colors that I probably took too many photos.
I also liked that the tour didn't make the whole trip about flowers. Longmen Grottoes was completely different and probably the most memorable place overall. Our guide gave us enough background to understand what we were looking at, but we still had time to wander around by ourselves.
The train station pickup and drop-off were also very convenient. For a short two-day trip, everything felt quite straightforward.

Thanks, Niall! Glad the peonies were showing off when you visited — the timing can be a bit of a gamble with flowers. Hope you took home a few good photos!

More Than Just Dressing Up

I thought the Hanfu experience would mainly be about getting dressed up and taking a few photos, but I ended up enjoying the whole day much more than expected. The hair and makeup were beautifully done, and everything felt quite natural once we were out exploring.
We visited a few of Luoyang's historic places along the way, but the best part was simply walking around in Hanfu and having time to enjoy the atmosphere. The whole day felt relaxed and fun, and I came home with some of my favorite photos from the trip.

Thank you, Elowen! We're so glad the Hanfu experience turned out to be more than you expected. We also love keeping this day relaxed, so you have time to enjoy the outfit, take photos, and simply take in Luoyang without feeling rushed.

Not Just a Temple Visit

I was expecting this to be mostly a Shaolin Temple sightseeing trip, so the morning at the martial arts school was a really nice surprise. We got there early and watched the students training before joining some of the basic exercises. I lasted considerably less time than they did! The two-hour Kung Fu lesson was probably my favorite part. It was much more about stance, balance and repetition than I expected, which made me appreciate the performance on the last day a lot more. The driver was also very punctual throughout the trip, which made everything feel easy.

Thank you, Orlaith! And yes, the students make those "simple" exercises look much easier than they really are. We're glad you enjoyed getting a little closer to their daily routine.

Kaifeng Was an Unexpected Favorite

Before the trip, I was mostly interested in Luoyang and Shaolin, so I wasn't expecting Kaifeng to be my favorite day. Longting and the Iron Pagoda were interesting, but Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden was what really stayed with me. We went in the afternoon and the atmosphere gradually became more lively. The old-style streets, bridges and waterways made it easy to imagine what a busy Song Dynasty city might have felt like. It was also nice to have a day that wasn't just about temples and monuments.

Thank you, Niamh! Kaifeng can definitely sneak up on you. It has a different rhythm from Luoyang and Shaolin, and we're glad you had enough time to enjoy the atmosphere instead of simply checking off the sights.

Worth It, Even in the Summer Heat

We visited in summer and, wow, Luoyang was hot. Longmen was still absolutely worth it, but bring water and wear comfortable shoes! We were glad the day wasn't packed with outdoor sights. After spending a few hours at Longmen, we were definitely ready for some air conditioning and a cold drink. The next morning at White Horse Temple felt much easier, and having a slower start made a big difference.

Thanks, Mireille! And yes — the comfortable shoes advice is definitely worth repeating. Summer in Luoyang can be intense, so keeping the outdoor sightseeing focused is usually much more enjoyable.

Shaolin Was More Than I Expected

I came mostly for Shaolin Kung Fu, but the temple and Pagoda Forest gave me a much better understanding of where the tradition comes from. The temple grounds were quite peaceful, which I wasn't really expecting. The Kung Fu performance was definitely the most fun part for me. Some of the movements looked almost impossible. Our driver was also very punctual, which made the second day much easier since we had a train to catch afterward.

Thanks, Eira! Glad you enjoyed both the quieter side of Shaolin and the Kung Fu show. And happy to hear everything worked smoothly with your train—hope the rest of your China trip went just as well!

I'm Glad We Didn't Do the Transport Ourselves

I originally thought we could just take taxis between everything ourselves. After looking at the locations, I changed my mind. Having the car waiting for us made a big difference, especially with only one day. The driver was on time, the vehicle was comfortable, and we didn't waste time figuring out where to go next. I also liked that we weren't pushed through the Old Town. We had some free time to wander around and grab snacks. Small thing, but it made the day feel much more like a trip and less like a checklist.

Thanks, Elio! We're really glad the private car made your day easier. With only one day in Luoyang, having the transport sorted out makes such a difference. It was a pleasure having you with us!

A Long Day, But Surprisingly Easy

I was a little worried about doing Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple in one day, but the whole thing was much easier than I expected. The driver was already waiting when we arrived in Luoyang and everything moved pretty smoothly from there. I especially liked that we didn't have to think about getting from Luoyang to Dengfeng ourselves. The day was busy, but it never felt chaotic.

Thank you, Elara! That Luoyang–Dengfeng connection is exactly what we try to make easy for our guests. It's a full day, but with the transportation sorted out, you can spend your energy enjoying the places instead of watching the clock.
