Luoyang is the capital of ancient China during the Song Dynasty. Despite the promise of historical recreation, Luoyang was fairly monotone. We headed here after a morning spent at the Longmen Grottoes, a UNESCO protected heritage site. Thousands and thousands of Buddha statues were carved into the mountainside, making it a sacred place. Pretty epic.

Then we went to eat Luoyang's famous "water banquet." It consists of 18 different soups. From soup to soup, the courses are supposed to flow like water = "water banquet."
Luoyang's reputation as the ancient capital of China is reflected in the air. The whole old town area was generally empty, the rhythm slow.
On the bright side, Luoyang is good for mid-afternoon naps. Siestas everywhere.
