Old town and Lijing Gate
2. Luoyang Old City and Lijing Gate History and culture: Lijing Gate is the west gate of Luoyang Old City. It was first built in the Jin Dynasty (1217). The existing city tower was rebuilt on the original site in 2002. It consists of the city gate tower, barbican, city wall and moat. The barbican's "catching turtles in the urn" defense pattern is very recognizable. The Imperial History Museum in the city tower displays historical materials on 104 emperors who established their capitals in Luoyang. Public transportation: Take Exit A of Lijingmen Station on Metro Line 1 and walk for about 3–5 minutes.

Practical notes
It is recommended to go there in the evening. After the lights are turned on, the night view will be even better. After shopping, go directly to the Cross Street Night Market. Most of the old town has bluestone roads, so soft-soled shoes are more comfortable. Please refer to the latest official announcement for opening, reservation and ticketing arrangements.
