How big is Luoyang?

How big is Luoyang? It takes three hours to go around Luoyang for a thousand years.

It takes about 3 hours to walk around the moat from Lijingmen, the gate of Luoyang Old Town, which is also the size of Luoyang Old Town. There are four streets in the old city, east, west, north and south, and only two streets remain original.

West Street retains more traces of local people's lives, or these messy shops are their lives. The guys at Angel Cake Shop said that their cakes were sold to the residents nearby.

The tapestry in the shop says so-and-so spring factory, which is actually a family workshop. Gao of Honghui Spring Factory and her daughter are sitting on both sides of the motor. Spring is like a small earthworm crawling around in a bucket. Grab a handful of "earthworm" high, skillfully pick up the "earthworm" ass with the other hand, and polish both ends. "Spring making is an ancestral craft. The entire spring making workshop in Luoyang is concentrated in the West Street of the Old City. Anyone who knows it will come here to buy it." Laugh very brightly.

Wang Guiren, an old man who has lived in West Street for decades, certainly knows.

He is wearing big glass sunglasses, which are cracked, and his head rests on a crutch.

Speaking of Luoyang, the old man is full of confidence: Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, is new and has no history; Kaifeng, it's all artificially processed. Just compared with Beijing, it seems less confident, but "Beijing also developed from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When the Xia Dynasty established Luoyang as its capital, Beijing did not know where it was. " Wang Guiren burst out laughing. He said that he traveled all over the country when he was young. Finally, he thought Luoyang was good, with four distinct seasons, and he could live comfortably for 1,000 yuan a month. But when it comes to reality, Wang Guiren is less satisfied. In order to plan and develop the tourism of West Street, the developer paved the street with Qingshi Road, but filled in the previous sewer. When it rains now, the accumulated water in the street will flow to the residents' homes. Wang Guiren concluded: tourists didn't come, so they did useless things.
