PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Luoyang
01
Use Luoyang historic core as the orientation base, then group Luoyang historic anchor and Luoyang market and food route before crossing to the other side of Luoyang.
02
Give Luoyang waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Luoyang regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Luoyang regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
