Things to do in Song County

The scenery was alright, and there weren't too many people. However, the service needs improvement. For example, bus safety measures need to be more comprehensive, and traffic management needs to be more effective. It's not enough to just have good advertising on social media.

Luhun Scenic Area is located in the northern part of Song County, Luoyang City. Centered around Luhun Reservoir, the scenic area covers approximately 60 square kilometers and is open to the public free of charge. Developed in 1992, the area boasts 50,000 mu (approximately 3,333 hectares) of water surface and features a 22-kilometer ring road around the reservoir. It also offers floating recreational islands, boat rides, speedboats, fishing, and other water sports. The scenic area is clearly visible from the Luhun Service Area, with the reservoir right in front of you, offering a beautiful environment.

The primeval forest landscape. Thousands of peaks compete for beauty, the rocks are jagged; the pools and waterfalls are linked, and the ancient trees are towering. The mountains are green and lush; the Funiu Peak is so high that you can reach the sky with your hands. Enjoy the azaleas in spring and avoid the heat in summer; the autumn leaves are gorgeous and the snow is spectacular in winter. It is adjacent to the 5A Baiyun Mountain and Yao Mountain, and is connected to the primeval forests Longchiman and Baotianman. There are also scenic spots such as Xitai Mountain, Longyin, Wolong Valley, Wudaotan, and Yangshan in the surrounding area. It is very convenient to live in a farmhouse or Checun Town at the foot of the mountain. It is a tourist destination with big mountains, big waters, and great beauty, and a very cost-effective scenic spot.

九龙瀑布，位于洛阳市白云山景区，主体瀑布落差123米，在丰水期还是很壮观的。如果在春天或者冬天，水量就少了很多。参观的时候要做好失望的准备。

One of the greatest things I have ever seen - breathtaking achievement of human artistic abilities and devotion. A must visit place and absolutely worth the trip. There are some crowds and you have to be patient if you encounter big groups along the path as the stairs towards the caves are narrow but you are rewarded with astonishing views and a feeling of amazement that will stay with you for a long long time.

Visited the Terra Cotta Warriors museum after Lishan Garden in the late afternoon. Crowd was fortunately manageable. Opted for the smart digital guide instead of hiring a guide. Rental cost is 30rmb with a deposit of 100rmb. Rental is only at one manned spot on the right after entry. Return is right before the last exit so do remember to return before you leave the museum. The digital smart guide is rather engaging with a story telling POV and simulated graphics which helps the user to imagine the reality 2000 years ago. I feel the digital smart guide is more informative than the one I rented at Lishan Garden (operated by two different companies). Renting a digital smart guide is a better choice if you can understand mandarin and likes to travel at your own pace be it slow or fast. It is also much cheaper and more convenient!

The scenery is beautiful, and the light show at the Golden Summit is also very nice. However, the management of the scenic area needs improvement. While one cable car is under maintenance, the other should be properly managed. The queues were too long; the first-level cable car took almost two hours, and the second-level cable car took almost an hour. My legs were already exhausted before even entering the scenic area. Also, each cable car can only hold eight people, but some only had four or five people on board before leaving. Staff should arrange for them to wait until seven or eight people are on board before letting them off, which would shorten the queue time.

天池山景区又是一个洛阳人周末的好去处！因为这个景区可以开车，所以自驾游是一个比较好的选择！建议把车停在中间停车场，进行徒步！爬到天池山景区！拍照后稍微休息一下，穿越到伟人石像处，大约要3小时！搭乘景区区间车到中间停车场进行午餐。野野炊也不错！这景区春夏，秋都可以去。最美是天池的秋倒影十分有意境和山水画的画面感！值得多前往

It's entirely a man-made tourist attraction, selling emotional value. Those who enjoy interacting with NPCs and watching performances might find it worthwhile. The Battle of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty is indeed excellent and well worth seeing, although the queues are quite long.

Xi'an City Wall, as the best-preserved ancient city wall in China, truly lives up to its reputation! Climbing the wall from the main gate—the South Gate (Yongning Gate)—offers a panoramic view of the entire city wall. Looking north, you can see the Bell Tower; to the south, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda; and the east and west walls stretch straight out. Whether strolling along it or cycling around, it's a must-see in Xi'an. It would be even better if more rest areas were added along the way, such as cafes and comfortable chairs.
