Cose da fare a Dali

Other museum only show 1 dynasty or 1 culture, this museum shows 13 dynasty. Perfect for culture lover. Tour guide is a must, they will make the trip more meaningful.

规模还挺大的，里面有北周武帝宇文邕为其父亲立的碑，值得一看。古树林立，很多都在900年以上。登上最里面的万寿楼，俯瞰楼隐深树，远眺华山，欣赏秀丽风景。

I recommend trying coffee with a donut and buying a lavender lamb

We couldn't book the more famous Shaanxi Museum tickets so we turned to Xi'an Museum instead, but my oh my if it was a lovely surprise 🫢🫢 This place has so many cute and historical exhibition bits, with in-depth and comprehensive story about the long long long history of Xi'an since pre-histiric era up until now. There was also a full map of the inner city wall in Silk Road era that you can still find some places are reserved nowadays! And we see the proof that ancient Tang women were chubby and proud! 😁😁 It's also worth mentioning that the museum provides a guide who's VERY fluent in English to take you around the exhibition (at least ours was super nice and lovely 😍), the fee is decent as well, I remember it was only around 300 CNY, so if you have more than 1 person coming with you the fee can be distributed and comes cheaper individually. Highly highly recommended!

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Luoyang was once the capital of 13 dynasties, and the wealth of artifacts unearthed from the city is immense. The Luoyang Museum alone houses nearly 200,000 relics. On my final day in Luoyang, I chose to visit this institution. Admission is free, but I was taken aback by the long queue at the entrance when I arrived at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, even without registering through the online app, I was allowed entry by presenting my passport.The museum is organized into eight galleries:Heluo Civilization GalleryTreasure GalleryTang Sancai GalleryCeramics GalleryCalligraphy & Painting GalleryStone Carving GalleryFolk Art GalleryBronze GalleryChinese bronzes are particularly distinctive. Unlike Europe’s utilitarian bronzes, those in China were primarily ceremonial, used in ancestral rites. Monumental vessels such as the 司母戊鼎 (Si Mu Wu Fang Ding) weigh over 800 kg — unmatched anywhere else. Bronze culture endured in China far longer than in other regions, deeply shaping later dynasties. This is why museums like Henan and Luoyang emphasize bronzes as cultural treasures rather than mere technological artifacts.It is an eye opening trip seeing the artifacts excavated from the 13 dynasties.

From Yuntaishan, we boarded a bus bound for Luoyang. The journey was long — more than four hours on the road. We left at 2:30 pm and only arrived close to 7:00 pm, which meant our first day in Luoyang was largely consumed by travel. That evening, drained from the ride, I managed only a brief visit to Yingtianmen, illuminated against the night sky.The following day was devoted entirely to two of Luoyang’s most iconic sites: the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple. After exploring the temple, we caught bus no. 58 directly to Luoyi Ancient City. By then, the hours of walking through grottoes and temple grounds had left us physically exhausted. Still, the ancient city welcomed us with free admission and a promise of cultural immersion.Dinner was taken at a basement food court along Minzhu Street. By the time we finished, night had fallen, and Luoyi Ancient City had transformed. The streets glittered with lanterns, music pulsed through the air, and the atmosphere was electric. Crowds gathered near the lake to watch 天女散花 — the “Fairy Scattering Flowers” dance performance — though we chose not to linger.Luoyi Ancient City (洛邑古城) remains one of China’s most authentic living historic districts. Here, 3,000 years of dynastic history — from the Zhou to the Ming — can still be felt in its preserved city walls, pagodas, canals, and performances. It is not simply a relic of the past, but a vibrant cultural stage where history and daily life coexist.

因为带着孩子，所以我们选择坐观光车上下，感觉很轻松。近距离观赏宝塔、合影，了解塔的历史，特别是南北门两处匾额：高超碧落、俯视红尘，1000多年，宝塔做到了。

Add this to your itinerary if you're visting Xi'an! I have been to the quarter 3 times. Walk along the main path of the quarter BUT make sure you also walk down the narrow alleyways! There are LOTS of shops and food stalls you don't want to miss. Open 24/7 too so make sure you visit!

洛阳古墓博物馆绝对是最"阴凉"的博物馆😃！地下展厅1:1还原了二十多座古墓，钻墓道、看壁画的感觉太新奇了，像在玩真人版盗墓笔记。西汉"打鬼图"和宋代妇人启门图特别震撼，古人脑洞真大！免费参观但记得提前预约，讲解器10元很值。唯一缺点是地宫有点冷，建议带件外套。逛完还能顺路去景陵打卡，整体玩下来2小时足够。胆小的朋友最好结伴来，但说实话一点都不恐怖，反而超涨知识！来洛阳必体验！
