I visited the park several years ago, and this time I took my child to school while the whole family went for a stroll. It was still as popular as ever, and the shows were just as wonderful, making it a place I never wanted to leave.
I chose this guesthouse because it's close to the Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, whose tickets are valid for three days. Upon arrival, I discovered it's not only close to the garden but also to the Wuxia City (a martial arts city), Yangbo Mansion, and the Stele Forest Park. The location is truly excellent. The guesthouse is located in a quiet residential area. It seems to be a converted three-bedroom, one-living-room house, so the rooms are spacious, especially the bathroom. Although the bathroom doesn't have a separate shower and toilet area, its large size made it feel comfortable. The hot water for showering and washing up was plentiful, which was very pleasant. Note that there's a step leading from the room to the bathroom. The owner was very welcoming, offering to pick me up and drop me off; the owner's wife was especially helpful and patient. There's a fruit vendor near the east gate of the residential area. Perhaps because it caters to residents, the prices are very reasonable.

That's great! It's worth coming. There are so many shows, you can't watch them all. The Three Attacks on Zhu Family Village is so realistic. The interior design is innovative. I'll definitely come back for two days next time. I didn't get enough of it. The food is very cheap, and the water and drinks are very affordable, about the same price as outside!
The scenic spot is very unique, striving to reflect the characteristics of the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty. The performances are diverse, with high visitor participation, and the NPCs are very friendly. The "Three Attacks on Zhu Family Village" is particularly exciting.

Today's visit to "Only Henan: A City of Theatrical Fantasy" deeply moved me.
In the grand narrative of *The Railway Station Theater*, I witnessed a poignant and intense brotherly bond—Li Shiyi, the elder brother of Li Shiba, harboring an almost tragic tolerance and boundless love for his brother. The horrors of the 1942 Henan famine were reenacted on stage, the desperate scene of starving people scrambling for food was suffocating. When Li Shiyi, desperately seeking some life-saving seeds from his brother, the stationmaster, learned that the price would be his brother's life, his world crumbled instantly. Ultimately, Li Shiba opened the granary to distribute the grain, sacrificing himself in the process. Li Shiyi's madness and breakdown upon learning all this vividly portrayed the struggle of humanity under extreme circumstances.
The smaller theater production *Wheat, Oh Wheat* depicts the resilient landscape of the people of Henan, who have depended on the land for thousands of years. Those simple and hardworking farmers, dedicating their lives to the wheat fields, saw wheat not only as food but also as their roots and soul. With the southward advance of the Jin army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Henan was forever cut off from the dynastic capital, a historical turning point tinged with desolation and regret.
Another short play, "Su Shi's Henan," succinctly portrays the tumultuous life of the literary giant Su Shi in just thirty minutes. From his initial fame through the imperial examinations, to his repeated demotions and fluctuating fortunes, until his eventual pardon but failure to return to the capital Bianjing, where he died and was buried in Henan, his poetry is filled with a magnanimous outlook on life and an optimistic view of hardship. Yet, isn't this also a kind of spiritual transcendence under the pressure of reality? Behind that "forced magnanimity" lies a profound undercurrent of unfulfilled ambition throughout his life.
This trip was not merely a theatrical experience, but a profound dialogue with the land, history, and the depths of human nature.
I really loved it! The shows were all incredibly moving and well-made, and the entire park was beautifully designed. It's definitely worth spending a whole day there. If possible, avoid holidays for an even better experience! 😍

Shaolin Temple is located in Dengfeng, nearly two hours' drive from both Zhengzhou and Luoyang, so be sure to plan your trip in advance.
Upon entering the scenic area, the first stop is a Shaolin martial arts performance. Even in the off-season, you need to queue for half an hour in advance. We arrived late, and all the seats were taken, with even fewer on the second floor. We simply found a spot on the first floor and stood against the wall to watch.
Further on, you reach the actual Shaolin Temple. At this time of year, the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees inside are a vibrant yellow, perfectly complementing the red walls and gray tiles of the surrounding buildings.
Next to the temple is the Pagoda Forest, the final resting place of eminent monks throughout history.
Next to the Pagoda Forest, there's a sightseeing cable car going up the mountain for 100 yuan round trip. Unfortunately, we had booked a vehicle in advance and didn't have time to go, so we just took the sightseeing bus directly from there, which was a bit of a disappointment. If you want to go up the mountain, you should allow at least 5 hours.
Awesome! Must-see attraction for martial arts lovers! It's more than just a temple, it's an entire scenic area including mountains, monasteries and nunneries. One day won't be enough if you want to explore more than just Shaolin temple. My favorite place was the pagoda forest and you MUST check out the kung fu shows at the academy. There are also lots of places to eat and by souvenirs too which is convenient.

The night tour of Kaifeng Prefecture features a continuous series of sound, light, electricity, song, and dance performances. The scenery is stunning, interspersed with NPC interactions. The performers are very focused, and the entire performance is elegant. The crowds are not large, making it a very comfortable experience.
The scenic area has a nice environment, with many small shows and interactive activities, making it quite interesting and worth visiting. However, the unlicensed tricycles operating at the entrance lowered the overall impression. Transportation needs improvement, and the tricycle drivers overcharge passengers, which is very unsafe.

Immersive Guided Tour of Guishan Han Tomb! Understand a Thousand-Year-Old Mystery in 2 Hours
A guided tour is a must when visiting Guishan Han Tomb! This tour offers an exceptional experience, with a comprehensive and informative two-hour session that leaves no room for perfunctory explanations.
The tour guide is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. From the tomb's structure and architectural techniques to its historical background and artifact anecdotes, everything is explained clearly and easily. She patiently answers all questions without showing any impatience. Even more thoughtfully, she proactively helps find the best angles for photos, demonstrating superb photography skills.
With the guided tour, the initially somewhat somber ancient tomb comes alive. The precise design of the tomb passages and the ingenious layout of the burial chambers become readily apparent, allowing you to truly appreciate the profound and wondrous culture of the Han Dynasty. Excellent value for money, definitely worth a special trip, and highly recommended for everyone visiting Guishan Han Tomb!
A very unique attraction; it was my first time entering a real tomb chamber and experiencing the burial culture of the ancients.
Although the artifacts inside seemed rather ordinary.
The plaque also includes the adjacent stone carving museum and imperial edict museum, both quite worth seeing.
It's definitely a must-see attraction in Xuzhou.

I learned a great deal from Ms. Feng Ping's guided tour. She explained the historical background of the exhibits, the details of the artifacts, and their impact in detail. For a place like Henan, with its long history and abundant natural wonders, figures, and artifacts, such a clear and well-organized explanation is truly remarkable. The focus was primarily on the museum's most prized possessions; you can set aside another half day to appreciate the other artifacts on your own. I was extremely satisfied with the guided tour service!
Teacher Yue Liang explained things very carefully. She not only knows a lot about the cultural relics in the Henan Museum, but also incorporates relevant historical content into her explanations. I learned a lot in the two and a half hours.

A fantastic city museum with a rich collection, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Song Dynasty and the history of Kaifeng. The only drawback is the lack of parking; visitors must park nearby.
Kaifeng, nestled in the heart of the Central Plains on the banks of the Yellow River, is one of China's eight ancient capitals. It was a crucial political, economic, and cultural center in ancient China, maintaining the historical and cultural roots of the Chinese nation. Thousands of years of development have shaped Kaifeng into the ancient capital it is today, boasting numerous scenic spots and historical sites, rich cultural heritage, vibrant folk culture, and a diverse array of unique cuisine.
Precious artifacts tell the story of Kaifeng's long and rich history. The Kaifeng Museum allows us to journey through time, witness Kaifeng's vicissitudes, and experience the unique charm of this ancient city!

The most fortunate part of this trip to the Xu Bo Museum was encountering this wonderful guided tour! Professor Bi's profound knowledge brought the weighty history of the Han Dynasty to life, making it vivid and thorough. His explanations of the museum's treasures, such as the jade burial suit and the Han jade ornaments, were particularly impressive, transporting us back to that era. I listened with rapt attention throughout, benefiting immensely. It was definitely the highlight of any museum visit, and I highly recommend it!
The venue is indeed not very large, and it doesn't take too long to walk around, but the cultural relics are quite impressive, with countless artifacts from the Warring States and Han Dynasties. Make a reservation in advance, and it's a must-see attraction.

Taierzhuang Ancient Town is definitely worth a visit! It possesses both the gentle charm of a Jiangnan water town and the profound history of a northern ancient city. Strolling along the waterways in a traditional rowboat, with boat girls humming tunes and the lights on both banks reflected on the water, the scene of "a river of fishing lights" is dreamlike and enchanting. The winding cobblestone streets, the Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, and the bullet-riddled walls tell tales of history. The intangible cultural heritage of fire dragon steel flowers is breathtaking, and the aroma of yellow flower beef noodles and vegetable pancakes is irresistible. During the day, explore the exhibition halls and appreciate the culture; at night, enjoy the night view and fireworks. The blend of northern and southern styles with ancient and modern charm is so captivating that two days and one night are simply not enough—you won't want to leave!
Generally speaking, it's ok. The commercialization is a bit serious, but the prices are still quite touching. The tickets are a bit expensive. After entering, many projects have to be charged again. The cost performance is not high.
