Longmen Railway Station was officially opened to the public on Feb 6 2011. It is one of the 10 railway stations for the Zhengzhou - Xi'an High Speed Railway.

1) Yingyang South
2) New Gongyi
3) Luoyang Longmen
4) Mianchi South
5) Sanmenxia South
6) Lingbao West
7) Huashan North (Not MISS)
8) Weinan North
9) Lintong East
10) Xian North

I took a speed rail from Xi'an North to Luoyang Longmen Station. It was a comfortable ride with good views. It is a modern and new railway station. It is not very big station as it is one of the stops for the Zhengzhou-Xi'an speed rail link.

When I walked outside the station, unlike other major railway station in the City, this station is located sub-urban of Luoyang City. The city bus-stop is just right outside the station, where you can get public bus to reach downtown Luoyang. I took bus #49 to reach Zhongzhou Road, the main street in downtown Louyang. It takes about one hour to reach town.

Luoyang Railway Station is the main railway station for the city. You can take trains to major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xi'an, and etc. I took a sleeper train to Nanjing, and reached Nanjing at 8am the next day.

This is not a very nice railway station as compare to other railway stations in China. There is no restaurants or food courts once you check-in inside the railway station. So, if you wish to eat something before boarding the train, there are many restaurants outside the station. If you are going to a transit location like myself going to Nanjing, taking an Luoyang - Shanghai train, you might not see your gate number on the Departure Notice Board. So, you have to ask the officer working at the station.

Of course! terrible toilet facilities.

There are two long-distant bus stations, Jinyuan Bus-stop & Luoyang Long-Distant bus stop next to the Railway station. You can easily get a bus to Shaolin in these bus stations. And you can take public Bus #81 to Longmen Grottoes.

One of the reasons visitors come to Luoyang is to see Longmen Grottoes. Longmen Grottoes is located 18km south of the downtown Luoyang. You can either hire a taxi or take a public buses to this attraction. I took the public bus 81. This is how you can do it without taking a taxi:

From Luoyang Railway Station: Bus 81

Other buses that arrive at Longmen Park Main Gate: 71, 67, 60 and 53.

It takes about 45 minutes to 1 hours to reach there. You will see other sub-urban towns during the journey.

not only Chinese Eastern!

it's very convenient to fly to Zhengzhou City(which is near Luoyang) from Beijing,or u can go to Luoyang by train from Beijing directly!

In Luoyang, the best way to get to places is by taxi. They’re really cheap, and the longest we ever had to wait for a taxi passing by was two minutes. Some of the drivers have a crazy driving style, but we never had an accident. You have red and green cabs; the green are a bit bigger and a bit cleaner. From 2008 the red cabs will be forbidden, and they will be replaced by blue/yellow cabs, which you see already now and then in the streets.

The price starts at 5 yuan (0,5 euro) when you get in, and the first two kilometers are included in that. Every next kilometer you pay 1,3 yuan (red cabs) or 1,5 yuan (green cabs). So for instance for a distance of 6 kilometers in a green cab, we paid 11 yuan (1,1 euro).

Important: There is a special regulation for taxi’s to drive in the main street, Zhong Zhou Road. On even days (2nd, 4th, 6th,...) only the taxi’s with a licence plate number that ends on an even number can drive in that road, and on uneven days only the other ones.
