Luoyang and Sanmenxia are on the Longhai Railway and Xulan High-speed railway. The Jiaoliu Railway is across Pingdingshan.
All the three cities can be reached by bus from the other cities in Henan Province.
Luoyang has a small airport named Luoyang Beijiao Airport (IATA: LYA). International visitors can fly to Zhengzhou Xizheng International Airport (IATA: CGO) and transfer to buses or trains.
