Fantastic 5.0
We visited two world‑heritage sites, Shaolin Temple and Longmen Grottoes, in one day. The schedule was well‑arranged and hassle‑free. The Kongfu show at Shaolin Temple was spectacular. The grand Lushena Buddha at Longmen Grottoes is breathtaking. Our guide gave vivid explanations without rushing us. Highly recommended

Dine in a magnificent, spacious, and comfortable setting while enjoying a song and dance performance that integrates Luoyang's history, literature, and cultural essence. It's a feast for both the body and the mind, and the food is quite delicious. This is a truly high-value experience!

September 15th was a very worthwhile and joyful day trip! The itinerary timing was well-managed, and the self-paid Luoyang water banquet at noon was a rare and unique experience that was quite good. Tour guide Li Junpeng explained things very diligently and took great care of everyone. It has been a long time since we encountered such an enthusiastic and dedicated tour guide. Thumbs up!

We used the service on May 1st, which was a Chinese national holiday. It was extremely crowded, but everything went smoothly. The service was excellent, and the tour bus service was great. Lunch was also provided for 40 yuan.

One of the best shows I've ever seen. Visually impressive. Couldn't view the voucher on my phone. Had to call the local agent there. Her name is Lucy and fortunately, she was able to help me by sending the voucher to me via Wechat

Instead of 4 hours at the Shaolin Temple, we were only there for 2 hours. Unfortunately, there was no performance by the Shaolin Kung Fu monks, which was a real shame. The tour guide was good and very helpful.

Although there were communication issues due to language barriers, fortunately, one of our group members spoke English, so there were no major problems. When booking, it would be wise to confirm the local guide's language. Also, it seems there are communication issues with Klook. There's no channel to ask questions about booked tours before or during the trip. In my case, I was confused and even flustered because we toured places other than those I had booked. Fortunately, the guide took good care of us, and we had a smooth trip. I recommend it.

What to know before visiting Luoyang

Quick snapshot of Luoyang City and what draws visitors

Luoyang City sees most bookings for tours and attraction passes, and demand rises and falls noticeably through the year. Klook data shows a distinct busy period in May, with quieter months in October and surrounding autumn months.

When to visit for crowds and prices

The busiest month is May, while demand drops around October. Prices peak in July according to Klook booking data, and drift down into the year-end with December typically the cheapest month. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for the autumn and early winter months around October–December; for peak-season atmosphere choose May when visitor numbers are highest, though note prices are often higher in mid-summer.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers tend to finalise bookings about 12 days ahead, with many still booking within the final week, so a short-notice trip can work well. If you plan to visit in May or July, consider booking earlier—Klook data suggests locking things in a few weeks ahead helps secure availability. Look for tours and attraction passes on Klook to compare options and grab the best fit for your itinerary.
