In the eyes of foodies, there is a reason to feast all year round. But autumn is especially justified, just because of a custom that has existed in ancient and modern times - sticking autumn fat.

The autumn breeze rises, and the most beautiful thing in the ancient city is late autumn
With the gradual acceleration of the pace of life, a lifestyle called "lazy travel" has gradually become loved by many people.

And the ancient city in autumn seems to be the best CP for "lazy travel".
Autumn is strong, and the leaves fall overnight. As the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, Luoyang has ushered in its most beautiful and "fairy" season.
Luopu Park, which passes through most of Luoyang, is already covered in gold, and the incense White Horse Temple has an extra Zen feeling against the backdrop of pines and ginkgo. The ancient city of Heluo, which is adjacent to the White Horse Temple and has been grandly opened on October 1, has also ushered in its most poetic moment.
The mountains and waters are frosty at night, and the trees are dark red and light yellow.
In the ancient city of Heluo in autumn, the trees contrast with the blue water and the ancient buildings, forming a beautiful oil painting.
Walking in the ancient city, the breeze is blowing, the leaves are colorful, and you take out your mobile phone to take a shallow shot, all of which are a wallpaper blockbuster.
