We absolutely loved the Old Town part of Luoyang. We spent a good 2-3 hours there just walking, shopping, eating and seeing the locals. We had read about there being a fee to enter, but there was not. We might have missed a part of the gate that is more of an attraction than the entrance on the south side, but we are not sure. There was something for everyone in this area as far as knick-knacks, sweets, noodles, calligraphy, and other shopping. Something to note that should not be missed is the Tri-Color Glazed Pottery that is found here and somewhat in Xi'an. We traveled to Xi'an after being in Luoyang, and the pottery was MUCH easier to find in Old Town and at Longmen Grottoes. So, if you find yourself fancying some of the horses, camels, or porcelain ladies, get them in Luoyang! The prices are amazingly low. Great to take home as gifts, as nobody will already have something like it, most likely. I've scoured Beijing and Shanghai both and cannot find the pieces that I did in Luoyang.

Our family spent 3 hours wandering around the old town streets. This along with Longmen Grotto and Shaolin was the highlight of our week long trip throughout China. We enjoyed our wander very much and it was FREE. Because the streets that surround the gate and drum tower haven't been done up or totally torn down (unlike such areas in Shanghai), people are laid back, there are not many (we saw none) Western tourists, and there are lots of street activities and traditional Chinese crafts going on, wonderful snack opportunities and usual life activities going on, we had a wonderful time and took lots of photos here and also met lots of nice people. I have to say that Luoyang had the nicest and most helpful people we have met in a long time (we live in Shanghai). Make sure you do not miss the old city when you come to Luoyang.Start from the city gate and walk down the main road until the drum tower. We then returned to snack at one of the intersecting street night snack/meal markets. One of the better night street food eating areas in China. You can't miss it, heaps of people and hundreds of red lanterns hung high and many many food stalls lining the street. Reminds me of Malaysia or Taiwan. Stalls mainly specialise in BBQing meat but there are all sorts there including fresh and hot egg tarts (5 rmb each) pita pockets (where you can choose your own BBQ filling) price dependant on the kebab filling you choose) sweet corn (3 rmb each), seafood galore, lamb and chicken kebab skewers for between 5-7 rmb each), stinky tofu 5 rmb per punnet, egg pancakes stuffed with lettuce for and special sauce for 3 rmb each, special breads - lovely and steaming hot and sold by the jin (500 g) not by the piece. Fruit (2 kuai a peice) And sugarcane juice to top it off for 3 rmb a cup. Cheap and plentiful!!! Yummmm. Our kids enjoyed all the snacking.

Most folk stop in the ancient city of Luoyang to marvel at the magnificence of the Buddhist Longmen Grottos,or to commence a journey to Shaolin Mountain and then move on. Despite the fact that Luoyang was once one of the four ancient capitols of China , it's grimy industrial modern face does not immediately show it's past.. The old walled city , which I discovered on a map became a destination I sought out.On a February day, as snow flakes swirled around my head,I crossed over its moat and entered its brick laid cobbled streets.Hui Bakeries and street food stalls sent out pungent aromas and a variety of little shops selling old wares and musical instruments lined the lanes. Overhead flapping red banners marked time with the breeze as we passed under old watchtowers at the heart of the city..A hidden treasure,a remnant of Luoyangs past years..A must to explore if you happen to pass through Luoyang..Ann Hamilton

Un poco di delusione perché forse ci si aspetta molto da una delle 4 Capitali più importanti della Cina. Purtroppo di questa capitale resta ben poco perché quasi tutto è stato pressoché distrutto. Il poco che rimane è abbastanza deludente, nel senso che di "antico", oltre alla porta di ingresso, non resta pressoché nulla se non di "vecchio". Negozietti insignificanti e venditori vari disseminano tutta l'area, che comprende anche alcuni "supermarket" di souvenirs "finto antico" di scarso interesse. Abbastanza deludente anche il ristorante "vecchia Cina" in fondo al viale centrale. Un ristorante che, purtroppo, di "antico" ha conservato solo il nome, praticando però prezzi "moderni" agli ignari turisti della Old City. Insomma, quella della Città Vecchia è una visita doverosa a quanto rimane di "antico" a questa città, ma non è certo una cosa entusiasmante o che lasci un ricordo particolare.

湛河公园环境优美，树木葱郁，坐在树下的长椅上闻着花香，听着鸟语，十分惬意，湛河公园门前便是湛河，像龙一样延伸着，还有一些游人在划船，有些大爷们在钓鱼，别有一番景致。

上次我小妹吃完饭去溜达了一圈，一个挺无聊的公园，设施都很陈旧，没什么意思，特无聊，不过倒是有很多放风筝的老大爷，挺悠闲的，边上的一个小湖里还有划船的。还有一个挺大花篮造型，挺好的。

清晨的湛河公园，鸟语花香，旁边的葫芦丝学徒，竟其扬文，我坐在树荫下的黄凳上，陶醉在美妙的气息中，鹰城感觉真的很好！

今天傍晚，和老公从公园北门出来，走在湛河桥上，看见夕阳西下时，彩霞满天，美不胜收，很多行人都忍不住停不脚步拿出手机去拍那美景，我也忍不住拿手机拍了几张，但效果没有实际的景色漂亮。。
