|
Luoyang is situated in the west of the province of Hena, on the River Luohe. Its name means ''north of the Luo''.
The city is connected by rail with Beijing, Shanghai, Canton, Xi'an and Zhengzhou, while a small airport makes flights possible to Canton, Beijing, Nanking, Lanzhou, Shanghai, Xi'an and Ürümqi.
Finds from the area show that settlements existed here even in Neolithic times (Yangshao and Longshan civilization). Luoyang was from 770 BC the capital of nine dynasties - firstly the Eastern Zhou dynasty (770-221 BC) under the name Wangcheng - and was therefore the military, economic and cultural center of the country.
