What you can expect

Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Luoyang. Travel to the Longmen Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and explore the cliffside caves and Buddhist sculptures created over many dynasties. Learn about Buddhist sculpture, stone-carving art, historical inscriptions, and the cultural value of the site.

Afterwards, take a lunch break (at your own expense) before heading to the Erlitou Site Museum, an important archaeological museum connected with the earliest royal capital in Chinese civilisation.

Explore exhibitions about Erlitou culture, Xia-period archaeology, bronze ritual vessels, jade and turquoise artefacts, palace foundations, urban planning, and the development of early Chinese civilisation. The museum visit offers a deeper understanding of the Yiluo River region and the origins of ancient state culture.

Finally, return to Luoyang city and get dropped off at your hotel.

Select your preferred experience: travel with a private driver and translator device for flexibility, or upgrade to an English-speaking guide for cultural explanations and guided visits.
