🚗 Getting Here: Smart Transport Choices
1️⃣ RENT A CAR (King move! 👑)
- ¥800–1500/day (full coverage + WiFi)
- Why? Freedom to chase golden hour at Jiuzhou Pool → Mingtang → Yingtian Gate → late-night beef soup!
2️⃣ Taxi (Budget backup) - Affordable but hard to flag during peak hours
3️⃣ Subway (Solo adventurers only) - Exit at Yingtianmen Station, then sweat through a 15-min walk 😅
📸 Jiuzhou Pool Cheat Sheet
⏰ Timing is EVERYTHING:
- 3:30 PM Arrival: Enter on day ticket (cheaper!), shoot sunlit palaces + floral gardens.
- 6:45 PM: Race to YaoGuang Pavilion’s 2nd floor—the only spot to frame Mingtang’s golden dome against twilight.
- 7:00 PM: Lights UP! ✨ Stay for water-mirrored lanterns & Tang-era dance shows.
🎫 Ticket Hack:
Day entry covers night shows! Sneak in pre-sunset—save cash for fancy hanfu rentals.
👗 Wear This:
Go ALL-IN on hanfu (rentals near LuoYi Ancient City). Pro tip: Pastel silks pop against ink-black pavilions!
🌟 Don’t-Miss Moments
- “Floating Palace” shot at Jiuzhou’s moon gate (queue early!)
- Silhouette dancing under 1000 lanterns (night show finale)
- Whisper “I came, I saw” atop the palace wall—overlooking Luoyang’s skyline
🚫 Skip If…
- You hate crowds (weekends = princess tsunami 👸)
- Expect ancient ruins (this is a lavish reconstruction)
💡 Genius Add-Ons
Pair with:
- Yingtian Gate (8-min drive): Night light show = jaw-dropping
- Mingtang Paradise (5-min walk): Skip interior—photograph its glow from Jiuzhou’s towers!
Fuel Up:
Slurp peppery beef soup at post-midnight stalls—locals know which ones stay open!
Final Wisdom: Luoyang’s charm hides in sun-warmed stones & neon-lit nights. Let Jiuzhou Pool be your gateway ✨
