小气鬼烩菜(老城店)

It is a restaurant for the general public, with cheap prices, large portions and good taste. It is quite down-to-earth. A small portion of stew is enough for two people. The other dishes are average in taste, but the stew is delicious!

Day 1️⃣: A Time-Space Dialogue Between the Ancient Temple and the Ancient City Start your morning journey with a steaming bowl of Nanguan beef soup! The tender, flavorful meat sinks to the bottom of the bowl, and a spoonful of chili oil is poured over it, stirring it up, its aroma instantly permeating the mist. 🌫 Paired with freshly-cooked steamed buns, their rough texture tinged with the aroma of wheat, this is how the people of Luoyang awaken their souls. Then, we journeyed to the White Horse Temple, not only China's first official temple, but also home to a hidden vegetarian teahouse. 🍵 Sip a tranquil Zen tea while listening to the rustling of ginkgo leaves in the courtyard. Then, we entered the free Han and Wei Ruins Museum—the mottled stone carvings resemble an open history book. 📖 Free admission with advance reservations. Children excitedly deciphered the ancient inscriptions, feeling like little archaeologists. 🕶️ Hop on the No. 56 bus for a culinary adventure! In the alley across from the Dazhang Old Market, locals line up for "Stingy Stew." The casserole bubbling with steam, the bok choy, meatballs, and vermicelli soaked up the rich broth 🍲. Paired with the golden, crispy, and hot noodle dumplings, this incredibly cost-effective combo left us completely satisfied 😋. Don't rush out afterward; the supermarket's White Horse Temple yogurt is a hidden gem for souvenirs 🥛, perfectly balanced with sweet and sour, and rich in milky flavor. In the afternoon, transform into an ancient person and travel back in time! Hanfu rental shops are everywhere around Luoyi Ancient City, and the whole family can instantly embody the traditional costumes 👘. Stroll through the ancient city in the evening, and the 7 o'clock "Heavenly Maidens Scattering Flowers" performance is a visual feast 🌸—a shower of petals, as if fairies were descending from the clouds. Don't miss this opportunity to grab a cup of Peony Pavilion milk tea 🧋. The petal-shaped milk cap complements the ancient architecture beautifully, making for snaps 📸! As night falls, the aromas waft through the dimly lit streets of the Cross Street Night Market: the crispy layers of Yongxiang wraps, the charred aroma of roasted gluten, the sour and spicy zesty flavor of fried jelly, the sweet and savory fusion of Li Ji's sweet and savory potato fries... Eating while walking is the true way to enjoy the night market! Be sure to save some room for the freshly squeezed pomegranate juice 🍹, a refreshing and sweet treat that's just the right way to break up the greasiness. It's only an 8-10 minute walk from the north gate of Luoyi Ancient City, allowing you to digest your food while enjoying the nightscape lit up by lanterns along the way 🏮. Day 2️⃣: A Spiritual Pilgrimage of Mountains, Rivers, and Faith While the city slumbers, the first pot of Longmen Changzhou Lamb Soup is already brewing. 🐑 The shop, which opens promptly at 5:30 a.m., is always lined with early risers. A bowl of piping hot lamb soup instantly melts the chill. Paired with their homemade fried steamed buns, it's a simple yet heartwarming delicacy! The meat was tender and not smelly, and the broth was rich, milky white. A sprinkle of chopped cilantro was the perfect finishing touch. 🌿 We arrived at Longmen Grottoes before the morning rush hour and quickly entered the park from the west service area to secure the best photo opportunity: the Buddha worship platform faced the benevolent smile of Vairocana Buddha. 🙏 The morning sun slanted across the Buddha's face, creating a play of light and shadow that accentuated its mysterious majesty. We took the children to carefully observe the evolving styles of sculpture in the various caves, from Gandhara style to Central Plains style. 🎨 This vivid history lesson unfolded before our eyes. The children, holding sketchbooks, copied the flowing robes of flying celestial beings, their artistic talents quietly developing. 🖌 For lunch, we headed straight to Chujiang Zilong Jiban Fish Restaurant! This health-conscious hot pot restaurant lived up to its reputation: the freshly sliced fish was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the shrimp were large and firm. 🦐 The most surprising thing was the free fruit section and homemade dessert counter 🧁. After finishing the ingredients with a light and delicious broth, you can enjoy a bowl of seafood porridge, which is both nutritionally balanced and satisfying. Watching my child devour the bouncy fish balls was a delightful sight. 😊 We didn't make it to the Luoyang Museum for some reason; instead, we visited the Guanlin Temple, which was a truly rewarding experience. Nestled among verdant pines and cypresses lies Guan Yu's mausoleum. Listening to the guide recount the legendary story of "his head resting in Luoyang, his body lying in Dangyang, his soul returning to his hometown" 🗡️, the children felt the power of loyalty and righteousness through the course of history. The colorful statues within the hall were so lifelike, and my child performed a perfect fist-clasping salute to Guan Yu, their earnest expression making everyone laugh. As night fell, we headed to Yingtianmen Square for the free light show! Brilliant laser beams were projected onto the restored ancient city wall, and a musical fountain danced with light and shadow 💃, a perfect fusion of modern technology and historical culture. Children excitedly chased the dancing spots of light on the ground 👣, their laughter echoing in the night sky. Finally, they warmed their stomachs with Xu Chai Sheng hot porridge—thick and rich with salt and salt 🥣, paired with crispy, tender Japanese skewers 🍢. The blissful moments of enjoying each bite of porridge and each bite of meat brought the trip to a perfect end. 📌[Practical Tips] For Hanfu rentals, choose shops near Luoyi Ancient City and compare prices and clothing availability in advance. Wear comfortable sneakers for climbing the Longmen Grottoes. Bring wipes for hand wiping at night markets. Reserve a spot 30 minutes in advance for the light show.
