Unlock Chinese Cities: Ancient city ignites night economy

(ECNS)-- In Central China's Henan Province lies an ancient city Luoyang, hailed as the Divine Capital. It's one of the Eight Great Ancient Capitals, a cradle of Chinese civilization.

Boasting over 4000 years of urban history and 1500 years as a capital, Luoyang has witnessed the rise and fall of 13 dynasties.

The centuries-old Luoyang historical and cultural block is a must-visit spot for tourists who come to this central Chinese city.

Since April this year, Luoyang has launched the "Ancient Capital at 8 p.m." campaign, cultivating new scenarios for the night economy, such as "night tours", "night entertainment", "night dining", "night shopping", "night performances", and "night photography".

As night falls, the divine city of Luoyang enters its "The Later the Night, the Livelier the City" mode.

Bustling with crowds, locals and visitors savor the rich history and culture while experiencing the vibrant street life.

During the May Day holiday this year, Luoyang received a total of 6.83 million visitors and generated 5.957 billion yuan in tourism revenue, marking year-on-year increases of 7.41% and 13.71%, respectively.

Luoyang is increasingly winning over foreign tourists. During the Dragon Boat Festival in June this year, inbound travel orders to Luoyang surged by 96% year-on-year.

From July 15, eligible foreign nationals can enter China through Zhengzhou aviation port visa-free, with the stay limited within Henan Province.

Luoyang, with its unique cultural charm and vibrant tourism scene, has become a "must-visit" destination for international travelers exploring Henan.

This summer, Luoyang's inbound travel orders have soared by 271% compared to last year.

Luoyang continues to attract domestic and international tourists, gathering together to enjoy its unique urban charm.
