As a native of Luoyang, I saw everyone's evaluation of Kyoto and Luoyang. I think that for most tourists, it is just to look at the places of interest and look at the architectural scenery. That is, of course, Kyoto far more than Luoyang. Even if China is more developed than Japan as a whole in the future, there is a great possibility that Kyoto will still far surpass Luoyang.

Because Japan attaches far more importance to ritualization and details and traditional things than the Chinese, no matter how developed China is, it is difficult to surpass Japan at all.

Moreover, Luoyang has experienced countless wars, and almost all the ancient buildings in the city have been destroyed, such as the houses of the White Horse Temple were mostly built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many reconstructions were carried out after liberation. In the Longmen Grottoes, a large number of Buddha statues were destroyed. Both sides of the river are modern concrete embankments, and Luopu Park is no different from a regular city park.

But if you travel to Luoyang and want to get more experience, please don't just visit the scenic spots. It's about going to taste.

The Great Plains, which stretched as far as the eye could see from the east, and which was not even a mound of earth, suddenly burrowed into a tunnel. After passing through the mountains, I suddenly opened up, but when I got off the train and looked in all directions, I was surrounded by mountains.

Qinling in the south, Taihang in the north, Songshan in the east, and Hangu in the west.

Walking on the street and looking at the military vehicles all over the street, and then looking at the research institutes and heavy industry enterprises in Luoyang, at this time, I will have a deeper understanding of what it means to be "Baguan Duyi", "mountains and rivers arch Dai, and the situation is the best in the world".

Talk to the old man on the side of the road. You will find that the old people here often have a good history, and the ancient emperors will tell you about each other.

A third-tier town, people who love poetry, calligraphy, Chinese painting, collection, antiques, strange stones, three colors, and other traditional cultures abound.

Then go to the White Horse Temple, Longmen, Bishan, go to the places mentioned in the ancient books, Fuxi, Laozi, Bai Juyi, Du Fu and other places where the ancients walked, look at the Luohe River, look at the peony.

Early in the morning, find a soup restaurant and drink a big bowl of broth. Grab a snack. Listen to the slow Luoyang dialect. Listen to the legend of the boss pulling a snack for you.

The quaint old city, the combination of local and foreign works, a small half of a factory, a large Soviet-style building complex, from all over the world everyone speaks Mandarin in Jianxi.

Walking through the city of Luoyang, from the hustle and bustle of the modern city, to the remnants of the monuments, the cold ancient tombs underground, and walking back to the street, you will realize that this is a living city, not a photo hanging on the wall, not a reproduction of an era. It's not an attraction to stop there and wait for people to see.

She is the heart of China, just like the soul of China, with roughness, delicacy, elegance and wildness.

She is the birthplace of Chinese culture, the throat of China's east-west traffic in the world, and the important place of soldiers. She was built out of a wilderness, and has been held, destroyed, and rebuilt again and again in the rolling history. Now she still adheres to her duties, standing silently in the center of China, and doing a heroic pass.

This is Luoyang.

She wasn't born to travel.

Borrow Sima Guang's "Passing the Ancient City of Luoyang" to end this answer.

The four mountains are surrounded by green, and the three rivers are rippling and sub bright.

The spring breeze does not know the meaning of prosperity and death, and the grass is full of the old city.

Smoke and rain and howling Nai Huasheng, the palace is the old imperial city.

If you ask about the ancient and modern things, please only look at Luoyang City.

Although the names of the two cities are the same, they are both called Luoyang.

1. Kyoto is the capital of Japan before the Meiji moved to Edo Tokyo a hundred years ago, and it has continued to have thousands of years of ancient buildings and ancient cultural customs.

2. Luoyang is a city that has lost in various political games, and now Luoyang is an ordinary city, no different from many cities, and many ancient things have not been continued. What we yearn for is Guluoyang.

Modern Luoyang is a city in need.

We always want to look at that ancient book,

Out of the mysterious traces of the Tuluo book, fantasy to crack the mystery,

I am also curious about what the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the central city of China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was like.

I also want to see the Roselle bathing in the Luo River,

I also want to see the so-called Yi people on the waterside of Longmen Yi, on the water side.

I also want to see the Vientiane Shrine of Empress Wu Zetian.

I also want to know why the ancient rulers had such a soft spot for the Zhou Dynasty (Luoyang).

When you have these desires, when you go to modern Luoyang, you can only see Longmen Guanlin White Horse Temple.

Although you can't satisfy the idea, you can pick up the books to study these past things, and feel the various things of ancient Luoyang through the carrier of the modern city.

The ruins of the five capitals of Luoyang, or the six greats.

The ruins of the summer capital, the ruins of the Shang capital Xi'an, the ruins of the Chengzhou of the Western Zhou Dynasty (not discovered),

The ruins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Wangcheng, the ancient city of Luoyang in the Han and Wei dynasties, the ruins of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties,

These are the carriers of ancient history for you and me.

In my opinion, the history of the first half of China's Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties and the Song Dynasty,

The history that you and I know will directly or indirectly catch up with Luoyang.

The ruins of the five capitals of Luoyang run through all the ruins of the official historical capitals before the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and you can't find a second one in China.

Therefore, modern Luoyang is still the best carrier of ancient history in China.

In Xi'an, you can find the history of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties before the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

In Nanjing, you can find the history of the Southern Dynasties of the Jin Dynasty before the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Only in Luoyang, you can find all the military, political, economic, and cultural history of the capitals before the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Many people like history and study history, and many of them are confined to the cities where they live or work.

The average person rarely has that time to study the history of other cities,

All we know is a few words about other cities in books.
