三峡大坝最佳观察点，站在坛子岭制高点俯瞰，能看到大坝和五级船闸的全貌，庞大的混凝土建筑横跨长江，宛如巨龙卧江，五级船闸层层递进，船只在其中有序通行，强烈的视觉冲击让人惊叹人类工程的伟大。不过五一期间人太多，如果旅游淡季去看可能更加舒服

很漂亮，很多好看的花，超级适合来这个拍照，看到好多带摄影师的小姐姐，吹吹河风，看到还有坐船的，太美了，今天刚好端午，天气也超好，微风不燥！还有好多体验的小游戏，和自主文创，推荐！

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Luoyang was once the capital of 13 dynasties, and the wealth of artifacts unearthed from the city is immense. The Luoyang Museum alone houses nearly 200,000 relics. On my final day in Luoyang, I chose to visit this institution. Admission is free, but I was taken aback by the long queue at the entrance when I arrived at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, even without registering through the online app, I was allowed entry by presenting my passport.The museum is organized into eight galleries:Heluo Civilization GalleryTreasure GalleryTang Sancai GalleryCeramics GalleryCalligraphy & Painting GalleryStone Carving GalleryFolk Art GalleryBronze GalleryChinese bronzes are particularly distinctive. Unlike Europe’s utilitarian bronzes, those in China were primarily ceremonial, used in ancestral rites. Monumental vessels such as the 司母戊鼎 (Si Mu Wu Fang Ding) weigh over 800 kg — unmatched anywhere else. Bronze culture endured in China far longer than in other regions, deeply shaping later dynasties. This is why museums like Henan and Luoyang emphasize bronzes as cultural treasures rather than mere technological artifacts.It is an eye opening trip seeing the artifacts excavated from the 13 dynasties.

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Thirteen Dynasties (十三朝古都), while Kaifeng (开封) is recognized as the Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties (六朝古都). Luoyang’s White Horse Temple (白马寺) is revered as the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism, and the Longmen Grottoes (龙门石窟) — with over 100,000 Buddhist statues — are honored as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Kaifeng, meanwhile, was the world’s largest city during the Northern Song dynasty, a thriving metropolis of commerce and culture.Henan as a whole is culturally dense and historically profound. The Henan Museum located at Zhengzhou is a must-visit, serving as a microcosm of Chinese civilization across thousands of years.I visited Henan Museum on a weekday and was struck by the sheer size of the crowd. Admission is free, but locals must register in advance. As a foreigner, I simply presented my passport, wrote my name in the register, and was then free to explore.The Henan Provincial Museum features one main permanent exhibition, Ancient Civilization of the Central Plains, divided into eight chronological galleries, alongside four themed galleries — Bronze of Chu, Ancient Jade, Treasures of Ming & Qing, and Musical Instruments. Each gallery highlights a different facet of Henan’s role as the cradle of Chinese civilization.I was deeply impressed by the exquisite porcelain, bronze bells and ritual vessels, the earliest pottery, oracle bones and early writing, Buddhist sculptures, and funerary art. My visit lasted about 3 hours enough to take in all the galleries and appreciate Henan’s extraordinary legacy.Article published at TripAdvisor on 20 Sep 26

Awesome building, stands out. Unusually, lots of descriptors written in English also which was helpful for me, nice museum and worth a visit.

长江三峡，这片承载着中华文明千年史诗的山水长廊，以其鬼斧神工的自然奇观与波澜壮阔的人文史诗，成为全球旅行者魂牵梦萦的东方秘境。从瞿塘峡的夔门雄峙到巫峡的神女弄云，从西陵峡的崆岭险滩到三峡大坝的大国重器，这段跨越重庆与湖北的黄金水道，不仅是地理意义上的山水绝唱，更是一部活着的中国水利文明史。

From Yuntaishan, we boarded a bus bound for Luoyang. The journey was long — more than four hours on the road. We left at 2:30 pm and only arrived close to 7:00 pm, which meant our first day in Luoyang was largely consumed by travel. That evening, drained from the ride, I managed only a brief visit to Yingtianmen, illuminated against the night sky.The following day was devoted entirely to two of Luoyang’s most iconic sites: the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple. After exploring the temple, we caught bus no. 58 directly to Luoyi Ancient City. By then, the hours of walking through grottoes and temple grounds had left us physically exhausted. Still, the ancient city welcomed us with free admission and a promise of cultural immersion.Dinner was taken at a basement food court along Minzhu Street. By the time we finished, night had fallen, and Luoyi Ancient City had transformed. The streets glittered with lanterns, music pulsed through the air, and the atmosphere was electric. Crowds gathered near the lake to watch 天女散花 — the “Fairy Scattering Flowers” dance performance — though we chose not to linger.Luoyi Ancient City (洛邑古城) remains one of China’s most authentic living historic districts. Here, 3,000 years of dynastic history — from the Zhou to the Ming — can still be felt in its preserved city walls, pagodas, canals, and performances. It is not simply a relic of the past, but a vibrant cultural stage where history and daily life coexist.

把动物园和游乐园结合起来。适合10岁以下的儿童。什么都有，但是什么都没有做到极致。性价比不高。至少没有清明上河园和万岁山武侠城高。里面食物小贵。

洛阳古墓博物馆绝对是最"阴凉"的博物馆😃！地下展厅1:1还原了二十多座古墓，钻墓道、看壁画的感觉太新奇了，像在玩真人版盗墓笔记。西汉"打鬼图"和宋代妇人启门图特别震撼，古人脑洞真大！免费参观但记得提前预约，讲解器10元很值。唯一缺点是地宫有点冷，建议带件外套。逛完还能顺路去景陵打卡，整体玩下来2小时足够。胆小的朋友最好结伴来，但说实话一点都不恐怖，反而超涨知识！来洛阳必体验！

南阳市汉画馆，是目前我国建馆最早（1935年10月），规模最大（占地53360平方米），藏品最多（收藏汉画像石2500余石），2008年被评定为国家一级博物馆。不少藏品曾出国展出。是南阳非常值得一去的免费景点，可以去长长见识。
