The most efficient and popular way to travel from Chengdu to Luoyang is by high-speed train, which takes between 4.5 and 6 hours and costs approximately 437 to 488 CNY for a second-class seat. These frequent bullet trains primarily depart from Chengdu East Railway Station and arrive at Luoyang Longmen Railway Station. For a more budget-friendly but significantly slower option, normal-speed trains are available from Chengdu West or Chengdu Railway Station, taking between 16.5 and 21.5 hours with hard seat prices starting around 168 CNY. While there are no direct flights between the two cities, travelers can fly from Chengdu to Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport and complete the journey with a 45-minute high-speed train ride to Luoyang. Driving is also an option, covering a distance of approximately 1,070 kilometers in about 11 hours via major expressways.
