Begin your walking tour at the Drum Tower, which historically announced the time to the public. It is now a wonderful place to experience the traditional marketplace of Luoyang. Wander through the old alleys with your tour guide, explore the shops, and sample various street foods (at your own expense). Your guide will provide tips on negotiating prices and what to order.
