Plan Your Trip to Luoyang
Coming from Xi’an, Beijing or Zhengzhou? Start with the route, decide how long to stay, then choose the sights that fit your time. These guides cover the practical details international visitors ask us about most.
Start here
The three questions almost everyone asks first.
How many days in Luoyang?
One day covers the Longmen Grottoes; two days adds Shaolin; three days leaves room for the old town and a relaxed pace.
Xi’an to Luoyang
The high-speed rail makes this an easy hop — here is the route, the stations and when a private transfer makes sense.
Zhengzhou Airport to Luoyang
The airport is not in Luoyang — compare the train, coach and private transfer options before you land.
At a glance
A quick sense of what fits into different lengths of stay.
- One day — prioritise the Longmen Grottoes, and add White Horse Temple if your arrival time allows.
- Two days — add Shaolin Temple, but it is a full day with the drive to Dengfeng, so expect a tight schedule.
- Three days — keep the Luoyang sights at a relaxed pace, add the old town at night and some local food.
Timings are suggestions, not guarantees — how much you fit depends on your arrival and departure times.
