Is there any direct bus from Zhengzhou to Luoyang? If yes, is it safe? I will have 2 lugguges and a little kid.

Hi Ellen, there is no direct bus from Zhengzhou Airport to Luoyang. You can take a taxi to Zhengzhou Railway Station first. It is about 40km, takes around 1 hour, and costs CNY80-100. Then take the High Speed Train to Luoyang. It is quite safe. And the price is CNY 60-90, duration 40-50mins.

If you need any tour service or hotel booking, please feel free to contact me via whitney@chinahighlights.net

Regards, Whitney
