📍 Why It’s a MUST
Luoyang = Ancient Capital of 13 Dynasties! The museum’s 200,000+ artifacts (hello, Tang tri-colors! 🐴) tell China’s royal, spiritual & artistic tales. Pro tip: Link up with a local expert (trusted contacts only!) to dodge ticket chaos + snag VIP access to lesser-known exhibits. Saves $$ & time!
🎟️ Tickets HACK
- FREE but BOOK AHEAD!
- Official GZH “Luoyang Museum” opens slots 3 days early (7AM sharp!).
- No slots? Buy “Emperor’s Chariot Museum” ticket (¥30) → enter Luoyang Museum same/next day!
- Wu Zetian Special Exhibit (¥40) = WORTH IT for gold relics 👑.
🚗 Getting There: SMART Transport
1️⃣ RENT A CAR (💰¥800-1500/day)
- WHY? Insurance + WiFi included! Explore Longmen Grottoes, White Horse Temple & countryside freely.
2️⃣ Taxi - ~¥25 from downtown; avoid rush hours!
