What time can I redeem my silver bills for refrigerator magnets? I arrived at Hanyuan Pier at 3:20, and the security guard said the staff weren't at work yet. I went out for lunch and arrived just after 5:00, and they said they were off duty. I'm going to file a real-name complaint for being late and leaving early... It was still a lot of fun. The forging fire was indeed beautiful, and the complimentary Hanyuan and Eiffel Tower are also worth seeing.
Wansuishan Great Song Dynasty Martial Arts City is definitely worth a visit! After dinner in the afternoon, you can watch Wang Po's Matchmaking show, and then schedule an appointment to see the iron flower show. The next morning, you can return to the park for breakfast, watch and participate in various small performances, and then at 11 a.m., watch the large-scale live performance "Three Strikes on Zhujiazhuang." The 80 yuan ticket gives you unlimited entry to the park for three days, which is quite attractive!

Henan's attractions won't disappoint! Every theater is refreshing, both in content and performance. Don't worry about your children getting lost in the action. They might not fully grasp the content, but the performances will definitely captivate them, so both adults and children will find something they enjoy!
I went in at 10am and watched 3 main plays (two were enough for me to go in), 8 small theaters and 2 outdoor ones. I came out at almost 10pm and only bought 2 bottles of water in between. Needless to say, it was the best this year.

It's really too small. It's all very modern. There are a lot of people who come here because of its reputation. The staff are very good. But there is really too little historical and cultural information when you visit.
Kaifeng's shared bikes are convenient. I saw online reports of university students from Zhengzhou paralyzing Kaifeng's traffic, and I thought there were no bikes left.
The only unpleasant part was that when we finally left, we were only a little over a kilometer away, and before we even got on the highway, we were stopped by two traffic cameras. I have to admire Kaifeng's strict traffic management.
The Great Song Kaifeng Mansion was built according to the scale of a prefecture prescribed by the Song Dynasty's "Construction Code," covering a total area of 130,000 square meters. This mansion is not only a vivid display of Song Dynasty culture and history, but also an important window into the political, economic, and cultural aspects of the period.
Inside the mansion, you can appreciate the beauty of Song Dynasty architecture and art, while gaining a deeper understanding of the rich history of the Song Dynasty, including its official system and rituals.
We took the children to see a 3D movie, which was quite enjoyable, except for the heat.

Xiaoya's explanation was very patient and detailed. He answered all the questions raised one by one. There was a lot of communication and interaction, which gave me a deeper understanding of the history of Luoyang, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties.
The Luoyang Museum's exhibition of inscriptions and rubbings was a real surprise!
I originally came for the Famen Temple special exhibition, but this exhibition was also excellent!
There are rubbings of the Songshan Han Dynasty que and Han Dynasty stone reliefs.
There are rubbings of bronze artifacts and inscriptions.
There is a rubbing of the demonic mask from the Pingdingshan Museum.
There are rubbings of the Three-Body Stone Sutra.
There are rubbings of the rare Twenty-Five Fragments from Longmen!
There is a rubbing of the famous Yang Dayan Stele from the Qiuchi Kingdom.
There is a rubbing of the Gongyi Grottoes Temple, the only surviving rubbing in China of the Emperor and Empress Worshiping Buddha.
There is a rubbing of Empress Wu Zetian's Ascension Prince Stele.
There are rubbings of Wang Duo's calligraphy from Dayi Mountain.
Among the many rubbings, there is one calligraphy piece that, while not large, is elegant, majestic, and imposing! It's a rubbing by Yan Zhenqing.
You might not notice it when you look at a small copy or a photo, but when you look at the entire stele, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy truly shines!
If you like inscriptions on bronze and stone inscriptions and calligraphy, you really can't miss it!

Guide Feng toured the Henan Provincial Museum with clear explanations and a wealth of knowledge.
She thoroughly introduced the museum's nine treasures, gradually deepening my understanding of this vast land. She also meticulously prepared pictures of similar artifacts, which gave me a deeper understanding of the artifacts from a vertical perspective. Absolutely amazing!
Henan Museum is well worth a visit. The museum is rich and magnificent. Mr. Wang explained the contents clearly, interactively and humorously. In order to enhance the effect of the explanation, Mr. Wang also prepared a lot of extended information and used a pad to show us the details of the exhibits. The two-hour explanation was very beneficial.

Kaifeng Museum is a local comprehensive museum integrating cultural relics collection, cultural relics protection, scientific research, display and exhibition, publicity and education. It is also a national first-class museum. It has a collection of 23,062 cultural relics, including 6,780 precious cultural relics. It is one of the must-see places for tourists to Kaifeng and is worth recommending!
The customer service was very attentive, proactive, and well-organized! No worries, we just met up on site. The museum is large, with a rich collection of exhibits, and it's definitely worth a visit. Although it was crowded, the flow was well-controlled, and the venue was large enough to accommodate everyone. It's a shame I didn't manage my time well enough, otherwise I could have spent more time exploring.

Baoquan Tourist Area is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot located in Huixian City, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, China. With canyon ecology, waterfalls and cliff experiences as its core features, it covers a total area of 110 square kilometers and is known as the "Taihang Water Kingdom" and "Central Plains Waterfall Group".
Very good. Henan's tourism industry chain is really doing very well now. It's a good place to take children. The children have a lot of fun playing in the water. The environment is also very good. In summer, except for being a little hot, it is definitely a good place to play. Moreover, the bus can return to the service center at any time in the evening. It's really good and much better than too many attractions.

Good good ...
The night show I went to was immersive and I felt that the price/performance ratio was average. Compared with the performances I went to in Guilin, Yan'an, Xi'an and other places before, it felt a little monotonous and the performance time was shorter.

1. Worth a visit, especially for history buffs.
2. There are official guided tours, ranging from 200 yuan to 280 yuan per person, and each tour covers up to 20 people. A small family can book one, or several families can join for a better value.
3. There's a restaurant on site that caters to a wide range of tastes, and for a scenic spot, you can eat well.
4. There's also a VR Oracle Bone Script Adventure, which is quite entertaining and a favorite for children.
The Yinxu Museum, a renowned museum of oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty, is located in Anyang, Henan Province. It is China's first national-level museum dedicated to a comprehensive exhibition of Shang civilization. Built within the World Cultural Heritage site of Yinxu, it has become a globally renowned cultural landmark. Key features include:
- Exploring Shang Civilization: Tracing the century-long history of Yinxu archaeology, from the discovery of oracle bone inscriptions to the application of modern archaeological techniques, it showcases how generations of archaeologists awakened the dynasty after a 3,000-year slumber.
- The Great Shang Civilization: As the core exhibition hall, it comprehensively showcases the Shang Dynasty's remarkable achievements in politics, military affairs, agriculture, handicrafts, writing, and capital city construction. Visitors can closely admire:
- The Simu Xin Ding: A significant bronze vessel unearthed from Fu Hao's tomb in 1976, its inscription bears witness to the legendary queen's supreme status.
- The Yachang Oxen Zun: The only ox-shaped bronze zun ever found, featuring intricate and exquisite ornamentation, it represents the pinnacle of Shang Dynasty bronze art. - 23 Shang Dynasty chariots: Specimens of China's earliest chariots, displayed in a matrix format, recreate the magnificent spectacle of "chariots rumbling, horses neighing."
- Shang Civilization of the World: This exhibition places Shang civilization in a global perspective, juxtaposing it with contemporary civilizations such as ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, revealing its unique position in the history of human civilization.
