The ancient city of Luoyang, located along the southern banks of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, is one of the seven ancient capitals of China. More than 70 rulers of nine different dynasties kept their capitals here; hence the name "Capital of Nine Dynasties." In addition to many places of interest, Luoyang takes pride in its peonies. Every April, the city's Peony Show attracts numerous visitors from home and abroad. Luoyang is also famous for its three-colored glazed pottery, bronze ware, and palace lanterns.
