洛阳美术馆

@千寻语 下午在洛阳美术馆看年展，拍了一些照片但效果不太好，建议你有空去看看，挺不错的尤其是油画，有些的风格和以前都不一样了呢～

没事的时候就喜欢逛逛美术馆.里面有很多名画,最多的就是花牡丹的了.看的我眼花缭乱的.在美术馆外面有专门替人画肖像的.花几十块钱画了一张,就是不知道以后还有没有.

作为洛阳人，又是学美术的我，经常去洛阳美术观看展览。说实在话，美术馆的位置是在不怎么好，大门朝向也很奇怪。不知道的人很难找到呢。

Most folk stop in the ancient city of Luoyang to marvel at the magnificence of the Buddhist Longmen Grottos,or to commence a journey to Shaolin Mountain and then move on. Despite the fact that Luoyang was once one of the four ancient capitols of China , it's grimy industrial modern face does not immediately show it's past.. The old walled city , which I discovered on a map became a destination I sought out.On a February day, as snow flakes swirled around my head,I crossed over its moat and entered its brick laid cobbled streets.Hui Bakeries and street food stalls sent out pungent aromas and a variety of little shops selling old wares and musical instruments lined the lanes. Overhead flapping red banners marked time with the breeze as we passed under old watchtowers at the heart of the city..A hidden treasure,a remnant of Luoyangs past years..A must to explore if you happen to pass through Luoyang..Ann Hamilton

“唯有牡丹真国色，花开时节动京城”我实在牡丹花会期间去洛阳的，美术馆内都是关于牡丹的作品，聚集全国名家的作品，我被深深的震撼了，让我对艺术有了更深刻的理解...

We absolutely loved the Old Town part of Luoyang. We spent a good 2-3 hours there just walking, shopping, eating and seeing the locals. We had read about there being a fee to enter, but there was not. We might have missed a part of the gate that is more of an attraction than the entrance on the south side, but we are not sure. There was something for everyone in this area as far as knick-knacks, sweets, noodles, calligraphy, and other shopping. Something to note that should not be missed is the Tri-Color Glazed Pottery that is found here and somewhat in Xi'an. We traveled to Xi'an after being in Luoyang, and the pottery was MUCH easier to find in Old Town and at Longmen Grottoes. So, if you find yourself fancying some of the horses, camels, or porcelain ladies, get them in Luoyang! The prices are amazingly low. Great to take home as gifts, as nobody will already have something like it, most likely. I've scoured Beijing and Shanghai both and cannot find the pieces that I did in Luoyang.

我看看地图,发现有美术馆,就过去了。跟出租车司机说“洛阳美术馆”他就知道地方了。只要跟他看看在街上卖的很便宜的地图就行了。我一到那里,发现都没有人进去,就以为是休假。我是8月去的,但还贴着6月的展览的广告。而且也找不到售票处。进去里面后,我看到一些应该是中国的艺术家的书法或国画的作品,不过标着价格。地方真的很小,只有靠外边的一点点地方有照明。我本想进入旁边的展区,但因为是3点前,就被告知(员工3点过来,在这之前都没有照明)。我看了3个很小的展区,连30分钟都不到。因为我期待就像日本的美术馆那样的常设展厅,所以有点失望。但我听说如果有一些临时展览的话,就会像样很多。所以我建议去之前先查好展览的信息。

The market in Luoyang's old town is really nice. Not as loud as the one in Xi'an and not filled with the typical tourist shops. In fact I spent 3 hours there and didn't see a single other westerner. The streets are filled with different artists and craftsmen offering their handmade products and various delicious food stands. Highly recommendable for dinner and a relaxing walk in the evening.

Our family spent 3 hours wandering around the old town streets. This along with Longmen Grotto and Shaolin was the highlight of our week long trip throughout China. We enjoyed our wander very much and it was FREE. Because the streets that surround the gate and drum tower haven't been done up or totally torn down (unlike such areas in Shanghai), people are laid back, there are not many (we saw none) Western tourists, and there are lots of street activities and traditional Chinese crafts going on, wonderful snack opportunities and usual life activities going on, we had a wonderful time and took lots of photos here and also met lots of nice people. I have to say that Luoyang had the nicest and most helpful people we have met in a long time (we live in Shanghai). Make sure you do not miss the old city when you come to Luoyang.Start from the city gate and walk down the main road until the drum tower. We then returned to snack at one of the intersecting street night snack/meal markets. One of the better night street food eating areas in China. You can't miss it, heaps of people and hundreds of red lanterns hung high and many many food stalls lining the street. Reminds me of Malaysia or Taiwan. Stalls mainly specialise in BBQing meat but there are all sorts there including fresh and hot egg tarts (5 rmb each) pita pockets (where you can choose your own BBQ filling) price dependant on the kebab filling you choose) sweet corn (3 rmb each), seafood galore, lamb and chicken kebab skewers for between 5-7 rmb each), stinky tofu 5 rmb per punnet, egg pancakes stuffed with lettuce for and special sauce for 3 rmb each, special breads - lovely and steaming hot and sold by the jin (500 g) not by the piece. Fruit (2 kuai a peice) And sugarcane juice to top it off for 3 rmb a cup. Cheap and plentiful!!! Yummmm. Our kids enjoyed all the snacking.

Un poco di delusione perché forse ci si aspetta molto da una delle 4 Capitali più importanti della Cina. Purtroppo di questa capitale resta ben poco perché quasi tutto è stato pressoché distrutto. Il poco che rimane è abbastanza deludente, nel senso che di "antico", oltre alla porta di ingresso, non resta pressoché nulla se non di "vecchio". Negozietti insignificanti e venditori vari disseminano tutta l'area, che comprende anche alcuni "supermarket" di souvenirs "finto antico" di scarso interesse. Abbastanza deludente anche il ristorante "vecchia Cina" in fondo al viale centrale. Un ristorante che, purtroppo, di "antico" ha conservato solo il nome, praticando però prezzi "moderni" agli ignari turisti della Old City. Insomma, quella della Città Vecchia è una visita doverosa a quanto rimane di "antico" a questa città, ma non è certo una cosa entusiasmante o che lasci un ricordo particolare.
