Our team was led by Chen Chen, a teacher from Elephant Cultural Tourism. Every trip was a spiritual journey. Chen Chen was sincere, professional, and attentive. He encouraged us as we walked, encouraging us to calm down, eliminate distractions, and abandon impetuousness. We passed the Western Hills Grottoes: Binyang Three Caves, Ten Thousand Buddha Caves, Lotus Cave, Fengxian Temple, and looked up at the Oriental Mona Lisa, the Vairocana Buddha. The 2.5-hour explanation carried thousands of years of history and art.
The ticket price for Longmen Grottoes is very high. You can experience the treasure of art for 90 yuan. When the lights are on at night, the caves thousands of years ago are reflected in the modern equipment, which is quite shocking. The only drawback is that the 10 yuan battery car to enter the scenic area is a bit of an IQ tax, and queuing is almost no longer than walking. It is slightly better to come back, but it is also parked far away, and you have to walk a few hundred meters to visit the commercial street.

Huashan is often crowded on weekdays. Its rugged terrain and breathtaking scenery are undeniably breathtaking. It's divided into West Peak, South Peak, North Peak, East Peak, and Center Peak. The mountain is rich in resources and the air is fresh. It can be a bit chilly at the summit, so bring a jacket. The weather can be unpredictable, with alternating rain and sunshine, so bring a raincoat. The cable car ride is thrilling and the scenery is beautiful.

Laojun Mountain has beautiful scenery, but it's quite high, so I recommend taking the first-level cable car. Otherwise, the climb to the middle of the mountain takes four to five hours, and there's no scenery along the way! There are many steps between the first and second-level cable cars, so it's not recommended for the elderly or young children, as it's physically demanding. However, the scenery along the way is quite good! The section from the Ten-Li Painting Screen to the Golden Summit is a must-see. However, our hike was foggy and rainy, so it was a bit disappointing to enjoy the distant scenery. I'll definitely come back again!
It's definitely worth the trip. My family of four had a fantastic experience visiting Laojun Mountain! It was a refreshing escape from the summer heat. We took the cable car to the summit, then hiked to admire the sea of clouds. The Golden Summit Taoist temple complex was breathtaking and magnificent. The kids were thrilled to try their hand at the cliff walk, and the whole family exclaimed, "This wonderland truly lives up to its reputation!"

Aside from the heat and crowds, I give it a perfect score. The programs are fantastic, the prices are affordable, and three days is more than enough for everyone. It's definitely the most worthwhile theme park in Henan.
It is worth going. It is based on history and incorporates many modern elements and creativity. The actors are dedicated and the park is not expensive. If you are an e-person, it is a paradise. It is so fun. I-person will feel a little stressed.

Wansui Mountain Wuxia City is the most cost-effective in the whole Kaifeng. It is too big and the most sincere scenic spot. The scenic spots inside are rich in layers and have their own characteristics. It is the only place worth visiting in Kaifeng. Qingming Shanghe Park is not as good as this. Wansui Mountain Wuxia City > Qingming Shanghe Park
This was my kids' favorite scenic spot on this trip. They couldn't get enough of it in just three days, and even after leaving for several days, they kept nagging about going back. The scenic area really offers performances of all sizes, and the quality is excellent. The NPCs are very engaging and interactive. It's absolutely worth it, and the ticket price is very affordable. Five-star rating.

My first time here, I only saw Henan. It was amazing! Every performance at the theater was so engaging. I entered at 10:00 AM and have seen Xue Huaiyi, Maizi Maizi, the Red Temple, the Railway Station, Su Shi's Henan, Emperor, and the waiting hall. Maizi Maizi was incredibly moving, and the Railway Station brought me to tears. The Red Temple is perfect for elementary school students. I'm looking forward to the evening light show.
Highly recommended, but the weather is too hot. It would be much more beautiful if you went in spring or autumn, when the wheat or sorghum is ripe. The performances are all excellent and well worth seeing, but you can't see them all in one day. Of course, if you're pressed for time, you can still go in a day. The park has all the necessary facilities, and the staff are very helpful in giving directions. The restaurant has KFC and various chain restaurants, all clean and hygienic, and the prices are comparable to those outside.

Beautiful scenery. Ancient charm. - Cultural landscape: Wudang Mountain boasts a vast complex of ancient buildings, such as the Taihe Palace on the Golden Summit. Its overall layout capitalizes on the towering imposingness of Tianzhu Peak, following the imperial architectural style and highlighting theocracy. Nanyan Palace, the most beautiful of Wudang Mountain's "Thirty-Six Rocks," boasts a dragon head incense towering over a deep ravine, earning it the reputation of "the world's finest incense." Zixiao Palace, nestled against Zhanqi Peak, embraces the sun and forms a design of two dragons playing with a pearl, embodying the imperial grandeur. Taizipo boasts four remarkable sights: "four gates within one mile, nine-bend Yellow River walls, one pillar and twelve beams, and ten miles of fragrant osmanthus."
The scenic area has a strong commercial atmosphere. It takes a long time to walk from the entrance to the visitor center. The bus ride up the mountain is very uncomfortable. If you want to go up the mountain, you still need to adjust the day, otherwise you can't see anything.

You have to go to the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple and Shaolin Kung Fu. I finally realized what I had longed for. I ate vegetarian food, which was delicious. I also watched the Shaolin Kung Fu performance (it is recommended to reserve a seat early). It was very exciting. I took the cable car to see the highlight, the Book Cliff, which was very spectacular.
Shaolin Temple is incredibly famous. We visited the pagoda forest, the main training hall, and enjoyed a performance by Shaolin monks. I was particularly impressed by the two stone tablets at the entrance, inscribed with the lyrics and music from the films "Shepherd's Song" and "Shaolin Temple." These two songs are destined for immortality.

Overall it's OK, it's like a combination of Yunlong Ground Fissure and Pingshan Grand Canyon. I chose to take a boat in and out, the mountain part is not interesting, it's all about changing transportation.
It's a great place worth visiting, with a variety of experiences throughout the whole process. Starting from the free bus ~ small transportation within the courtyard ~ boat ride ~ stable and long cable car experience ~ first time riding the sky bus ~ a one-minute elevator that reflects the technological content. I didn't feel tired at the end of the tour, and it is more suitable for the elderly to play together.

Kaifeng Mansion is well worth visiting. - In terms of cultural inheritance and promotion: Kaifeng Mansion is the best way to revitalize and promote Bao Gong culture. Relying on the powerful cultural IP of Bao Gong culture, it uses architectural layout, exhibitions, cultural activities and other forms to fully display Bao Gong's spirit of "loyalty, filial piety, love for the people, fairness and integrity" as well as the Northern Song Dynasty government culture and the Song Dynasty culture, allowing tourists to deeply understand and feel the charm of historical culture, and playing a positive role in inheriting and promoting traditional culture.
I went to Kaifeng to check in at Kaifeng Mansion. I hired a tour guide at the door for 80 yuan so that the children could learn more about history. I watched almost all the performances inside according to the schedule, but there were too many people in the peak season and I didn’t watch the greeting at the door. I feel that this season is more suitable for visiting in the afternoon and evening.
