Hi Varadaraj,
Thank you very much for visiting our Web site and your interest in our services. My name is Robert Hui. I am a travel advisor at China Highlights. It is my pleasure to assist you about your trip to China.
Regarding to your inquiry about the attractions in Luoyang, I have checked it with our local agency there, and I am sorry to inform you that you cannot visit all of them within 3 days.
Here are the reasons:
1. Although you have almost three full days there, but those attractions will only open between 9:00 to 17:00 (some sites are earlier and others might close later), so actually you cannot have them all in the limited 10 hours per day.
2. Some attractions (such as the Luoyang Museum and other museums) need time, if your aim is just get in and get out of the sites, it might be possible; otherwise you need to rush to those attractions if you wish to visit them all within 3 days.
3. There are distances between those attractions, and some distances may take about 2 hours (such as the distance between Luoyang city and the Flower and Fruit Mountain National Forest Park is about 80Km, and it takes about 2 hours to get there from downtown Luoyang by private car in good traffic condition).
4. Some of the attractions are quite similar, such as the Baiyunshan National Forest Park and the Flower and Fruit Mountain National Forest Park. Usually our clients will only visit one of them instead of two.
