This place is truly worth a visit. Spend a day immersing yourself in the pure, unspoiled culture of the Central Plains, encompassing stories from thousands of years ago, modern times, happening right next to you, and stories you've heard since childhood. The visuals are powerful and impactful, and each theater experience is unique each time you visit. The price may seem high, but it's truly worth it. Many of the plays are touching, and many leave you thinking. 🤔
You can spend a whole day there, and there are places to rest and eat. The area is well-established, and the service is excellent. It's also a great place for photos and check-ins. I wouldn't recommend bringing young children, but it's educationally valuable for those in elementary school. This place embodies youth, history, open-mindedness, impulse, passion, and regret...
It's a place you can spend a whole day in. Due to time constraints, we only bought a ticket for one big show. The rest were many small shows. The performances were all great, and the scenes were great, very suitable for taking pictures. It's still nice to walk around and watch the performances slowly.

At the Chief's House, you can get up close to tigers, lions, and other beasts. During certain hours, you can even see an interactive scene where a brown bear "grazes" the bus for food.
At the Grassland Adventure Base, amphibious vehicles can traverse the habitats of herbivores like giraffes and zebras, accompanied by a guide.
The Lost River Valley offers freshwater fish and interactive pets like raccoons and alpacas, perfect for families.
A wide variety of attractions are available.
Animal Broadway's "Animal Stars" performances, such as Parrot Counting and Birds of Prey, are visually stunning and highly interactive.
Float parades and nighttime fireworks shows create a joyful atmosphere, perfect for family photos.
The Zhengzhou Yinji Animal Kingdom experience exceeded my expectations! The park is exquisitely designed, with a blend of animal exhibits and interactive experiences, and the drive-through viewing area is quite unique. The diverse performances, including the white tiger behavioral demonstration and sea lion theater, are truly captivating. It's a family-friendly experience, with comprehensive facilities and excellent service.
A special shoutout to our guide, Wang Xiaopei, for his insightful and humorous explanations. Everyone should definitely look for him when visiting!
Highly recommended, this is a rare and excellent animal theme park in the Central Plains.

The Henan Museum's main exhibition halls comprise 12, arranged by historical dynasty. There are also two special exhibition halls showcasing Chu bronzes and Ming and Qing ceramics, and a stone carving hall dedicated to ancient stone carvings. For first-time visitors, I recommend dedicating a full day to the museum; it's definitely worth it.
Henan's history is half of China's history. Every artifact at the Henan Museum is a "historical storyteller": the Jiahu bone flute uses its seven holes to recount life 8,000 years ago, the Duling square tripod uses its taotie pattern to depict the majesty of the Shang Dynasty, and the cloud-patterned bronze ban uses the lost-wax method to convey the wisdom of the Spring and Autumn Period... They embed the Central Plains' past into Chinese narratives, bringing "half of history" to life in a tangible way.

I have always wanted to come to the China Dinosaur Park. I finally came today. The children especially liked the Dinosaur Gene Research Center, the big pendulum, the roller coaster, a different experience, and the King Kong 4D Cinema. It is worth experiencing. Come again when you have time. It is highly recommended. Everyone must come.
There weren't many people there on Chinese Valentine's Day. The queue for each project was about an hour. We played about 8 projects, but there was no fireworks and drone show as we had been notified. In the end, we saw them being set off at the entrance of the parking lot after we came out. It was a big pity!

It's definitely worth bringing the kids here to play, and it's a great way to catch the tail end of summer vacation. Although there are a lot of people, many of them are indoor venues, especially the dolphin show, which is super, super good, and the scene is full of shocking wows 👍🏻
The overall experience is good. If you bring a baby, it is recommended to use a stroller, otherwise it will be very tiring. The scenic area also rents sightseeing cars and strollers. We rented a sightseeing car, which was a bit expensive, but it was a lot easier.

The scenic area is located on the bank of the Yellow River. It has a beautiful environment and you can see three Yellow River bridges. The giant sculptures of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are also in the scenic area. You can drive in by car. The ticket price is not expensive. It is worth a visit.
There weren't many people when I went there, and most of the sightseeing buses were chartered, which was good. There are many animals in the Paleontological Sculpture Park, and the statues of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang and Chairman Mao are also very good.

If you go in the summer, the building isn't too hot; it's mostly indoors. Zhengzhou's weather has been terrible lately, so the air conditioning is still a plus. The programs and performances were great. I used the Henan Cultural Tourism Coupon, which made it even more affordable.
The aquarium has 8 floors. The marine animals are in good condition. Many animals react to tourists. There are also some animal feeding programs. There are several performances. The time to watch the performances is planned in advance. You can see each one. It is very exciting. The food and beverage prices in the venue are also reasonable. The children have a lot of fun.

A trip without a plan.
A friend dragged me into Fantawild Dreamland. Unprepared, without a guide, I rushed in.
I followed my friend's advice and started on the right side of the entrance. That's how it started.
The park seemed quite large upon entering, but after walking around, I felt it was just the right size. It wasn't tiring at all. The park's scale was very well controlled.
After the tour, I finally understood why children must be at least 1.1 meters tall to purchase a ticket. It's designed specifically for children between 1.1 and 1.4 meters tall. Too small for a good experience, too big for fun.
Post-tour tips:
1. Start on the left side of the entrance and start with "Five Thousand Years of China," then "Boonie Bears," then "Journey to the West," then "The Battle of Jinshan Temple," then "Qinling Adventure," and finally "The Magic Castle." This way, the children will gradually become comfortable with the experience and be blown away by the finale.
2. Be sure to prepare food before entering! Be sure to prepare food! Be sure to prepare food!
3. Also, avoid going when it's crowded; the lines will be overwhelming.
4. If there is a fourth one, it is to be prepared for a whole day and make sure to stick to it until the evening.
If you're taking the high-speed rail, skip exiting the station and take Metro Line 8 directly to the penultimate stop. It's only 380 meters from the exit. Alternatively, drive directly to Zhengzhou Fantawild Dreamland, which is right next to Fantawild Happy World. It's a huge place with tons of attractions. It's perfect for both adults and children, so kids can have fun all day.

Overall it's good, but there are a lot of people on Sundays. It's not expensive, but the food inside is expensive. You can make a plan in advance. The door will check the things that are not allowed to be brought. When I was queuing for bumper cars, I encountered unpleasantness. When there was a substitute queue, we were standing in that row with adults and children. There was a person in front of me who came to the front of the queue and carried a few children to the front. He told the staff that the children were in line and wanted the adults to go in and play with the children. Then the staff let them go in from the exit to play. I don't understand why it was written at the queue entrance that it was not allowed to be replaced. The scheduled performances are pretty good. Overall it's pretty good. Everyone had a lot of fun.
It is a little late to enter the park at 10 o'clock. It is recommended to open the park earlier during statutory holidays. After entering, it is full of dazzling things and very dreamy. Children and adults have a lot of fun, especially the snowing part is very good. The penguin house is also very good. The ice slide is refreshing, and there are ice sculptures and lights to check in and take pictures. It is suitable for a half-day trip.

The scenic area is not crowded, but a little hot. It is comparable to the Wang Family Courtyard and Qiao Family Courtyard in Shanxi. The priceless golden nanmu beds and three-hundred-year-old grapevines are all rich in history. There are also various boat knowledge. This is the place I have seen the most.
Everything is fine, except that it is too hot. I sweat constantly and almost died. One day, I have to go back. This house is worthy of its million-dollar value. The officials are kind and the family tradition has continued for more than 500 years, and the achievements are magnificent.
