As a pivotal cradle of Chinese civilization, an ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, one of the Eastern starting points of the Silk Road, and a central city along the the Grand Canal of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang boasts over 5,000 years of civilization, nearly 4,000 years of urban history, and more than 1,500 years as a capital. Additionally, it serves as an important traditional industrial base prioritized by the People’s Republic of China. During the first Five-Year Plan (1953-1957), seven of 156 key national projects were launched here. In the new era, Luoyang is forging deep integration into the Belt and Road Initiative, as China-Europe and China-Central Asia freight trains operate around the clock.
