studying in the UK，I follow a British couple to travel around my home country，really funny

[@RobandJenny]

Haha. That's a nice way to do it! Would love you to keep travelling around with us through other countries.

Museums in every city are free. Luoyang Museum is very good.

[@RealMonkeyKing]

Nice video! should have a lot more views

[@FranMa94]

It's amazing this place. Best wish for you guys in China!

[@eriksonyw]

i love that bus!! Very cute indeed! Cool color matching with the orange or yellow curtain/shade inside and the green body on the outside.

[@woodensurfer]

Also， the Xianbei people ruled norther China, as Northern Wei, from 386-534. In 494, the capital of Northern Wei was moved to LuoYang.

[@fernl4396]

Luoyang was called ''Eastern captial'' 东都 while Xi'an was the Western capital西京... they are both of very high cultural importance in China.

田園幻想曲 并不觉得，洛阳在夏商为都的时候西安还是部落呢

[@yuntengzhao7585]

田園幻想曲 搞笑，洛阳是首都的时候西安还没有名字呢

[@洛洛睡前故事]

洛京 京洛 这些洛阳的专有名词在后世都演变成首都的意思了，学历史或者学考古的都知道 古代中国最重要的城市是洛阳 其他的完全不是一个级别。 现代西安行政等级高 副省级，西北没其大城市，给西北的教育资源，全部落到西安，江苏那边年年对西安对口扶贫，这政策方面，别说洛阳，郑州都比不了。 西安趁着一带一路政策必将不凡，希望西安赶紧起来吧，别再搞下三滥手段黑洛阳了。

Thousands years ago Luoyang（洛陽） is a famous city in Asia. If you visit Kyoto in Japan，you will find "洛陽” is another name of Kyoto.

[@RobandJenny]

It's a cool place.

Both Eastern Zhou 770-256 and Eastern Han 25-220 had capital in LuoYang. In Tang, 618-907, LuoYang was Eastern capital.

@@RobandJenny There are not many historical monuments in Korea. You can see Chinese characters in some historical buildings in Korea. In the history the Korean Peninsula is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, 500 years ago The historical record is written in Chinese characters, because the official text of Korea at that time was Chinese characters.

I’m going there in September. Looking forward to it. Jenny is really cute. Love the accent.

[@heavengaoyu6897]

There is a railway bridge on the YI River in the grottoes which I usually take trains from Jingmen (small city in Hubei Province) to Zhengzhou (capital of Henan Province),but the train passed over the bridge at night that I could't see the scenery. a little pity

[@RobandJenny]

What a shame!! Lots to see here. 😀

[@greggwroblewski1689]

Luoyang is a very interesting city and has very much changed over the last 15 years that I have lived here. In some ways it sad that the changes take place, modernization has taken hold because the true Luoyang really did represent part of China that is disappearing. So if anyone is thinking about going to China, Luoyang would be a great start for a few days on your way to Xi’an.

[@davidjw9555]

Literally,Beijing is the north capital,Nanjing is the south capital,Xi’an is the west capital. Although Luoyang don’t literally mean central capital, it’s been the central capital city of China for a very long time.

[@RobandJenny]

去年5.30号去过龙门石窟，厚重历史感，很可惜的是很多没有人头，破坏严重

[@mmorpg9564]

文革时没被破坏，周恩来指示重点保护。 中国四次灭佛龙门石窟赶上了三次，但都没太大的破坏。 主要的损失是发生在1910年到1924年，外国传教士跑来买佛头。

[@anderweende]

It's really not easy for foreigners to travel in china alone. and you guys make it like locals

[@RobandJenny]

We actually found it so easy! Everything just works and is explained so well! :)

Luoyang is pronounced like L-wha Young, where "wha" comes from "what".

I have been to longmen grottoes, which were destroyed during the cultural revolution，regrettably.

[@RobandJenny]

There is a lot to see there now! :)

[@NN-hi7nd]

Actually in cultural revolution, it didn't get ruined ´much, as PM Zhou had tried all his best to order for protection for this place, 3 times in a row, even thou he himself was in difficult position back then. The serious damage for this place was due to commissionary from early 20th century.
