Lijing Gate, first built in the Sui Dynasty, is the western gate of the ancient city of Luoyang. And it is known as the "first gate of the ancient capital".
The current Lijing Gate Scenic Area was rebuilt on the original site of the Luoyang Municipal Government, consisting of parts such as the City Gate Tower, Wengcheng, Arrow Tower, City Wall, Lijing Bridge, and moat. It is also the location of Luoyang Old Street. Tourists can come here to climb up and enjoy the scenery, taste local snacks, and learn about the ancient Heluo culture.
Every year on the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the Lijingmen City Tower holds the "Welcoming the New Year at midnight Bell" event. Tourists can personally climb onto the city and ring the 108 bells symbolizing the prosperity, auspiciousness, peace, and happiness of the new year, echoing the sound of the Ma Temple bell from afar.
