Located in the centre of Luoyang city, we walked to this site from our hotel which was around 20 minutes, or take bus 5, 36, 40, 41, 50, 52, 56, and 86 go there and the bus stop to get off is Wangcheng Square.
Entrance is 35 yuan, and this is a small museum, but well preserved. This sacrificial pit is from the Eastern Zhou dynasty (770 - 221 BC). Horses were sacrificed for the emperor's death. It is well preserved, you can see the remains of the horses.
On a hot day outside, it's very nice to be inside the cool temperature of the museum.
For history enthusiasts this little museum is a must see.

This is a very small museum with the main point of interest being the relics of 6 horses pulling an emperors carriage. If you are really interested in history, then perhaps get a guide to explain it all for you, otherwise I don't think it is worth it. 1 hour is more than enough.

Bus 101 runs West along Zhongzhou East Road (中州东路) from near the Lijing Gate to near the museum. Get off at 王城广场东(wangcheng guangchang dong)and the museum is 500m in front.

Entry price: 30 RMB (half price students)

I didn't expect to see such a nicely presented dig site. This is one of the more important sites for Luoyang's history and the small information hall has bilingual if not multilingual descriptions.

This is a very small excavation, interesting with a little museum of artefacts. The staff are very nice and when we went it was very quiet, just before closing. If you are walking past pop in but unless you are particularly interested don't go out of your way.

The museum is rather small. Still, we spent about an hour and a half there. Conducting some research before going will definitely enrich your experiences. After all, we are talking about East Zhou Dynasty, well over 2000 years ago.

We followed a guide to hear the basic story of the museum. Then we went into great details of each section to appreciate the relics.

An open pit with many chariots driven by horses is very impressive and perfect to take photos. The one with six horses could only be used by the emperor. Others could only use fewer horses. This was just to showcase the living conditions of those dead. I checked with the guide, the real tomb is reserved and remain undiscovered forever. A mysterious place that is worth a visit.
