- 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.
