It is definitely worth a visit. All my friends in Henan recommended it to me. It is really great. Every play is very exciting and some are interactive. However, you can't finish it in one day. I recommend a 2-day itinerary.
The moment I entered, I felt the power of "food." Everywhere I entered the theater was a place where films could be produced. This down-to-earth connection with the working people made me feel natural and grounded. The park itself was also very civilized, with civilized slogans everywhere, which was a great feeling. The staff were also wonderful and responsible. It was my first time at a theater performance, and the actors' movements were crisp and clear, with a strong sense of depth in their performance. I was moved to tears, and the price of the ticket felt completely worth it!

Due to a last-minute change in our itinerary, we immediately booked a guided tour at the Henan Museum. The tour was quite good, with some interactive elements and a strong historical narrative, which was accessible to children. Unfortunately, the crowds were so heavy that we lost track of the guide once. The small clear noodle soup we had after leaving the museum was quite good.
I'd long heard of the Henan Museum, and finally had the opportunity to visit. Stepping inside felt like stepping back in time, into the depths of history.
The artifacts here are dazzling, ranging from Jiahu bone flutes from the Neolithic Age, bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and porcelains from the Tang and Song dynasties. Each piece tells a story from the past. The Lotus and Crane Square Pot particularly impressed me, depicting a crane spreading its wings as if about to break free and soar to freedom. The cloud-patterned bronze ban, with its exquisite openwork craftsmanship, was truly breathtaking.
After visiting the museum, I was deeply impressed by the profoundness and longevity of Chinese culture, and was deeply impressed by the wisdom and creativity of our ancestors. It was truly an unforgettable cultural journey.

Yinji Animal Kingdom has rich interactions, a wide variety of animals, and a beautiful environment. It is not only suitable for parent-child play, but also for playing with friends. It is both educational and entertaining, and the experience is excellent!
The scenic area is still very playable, but because the elderly are not so flexible, half of it was not completed. The Ferris wheel is outside the scenic area. Although it is a free ticket, I didn't go. The animals are in good condition. Especially the animal Broadway and the birds of prey. It is worth seeing.

We went hiking in a group and visited Shaolin Temple. I have been here before, but it has been a long time. This time I came with friends. It doesn’t matter where we go, but who we are with is the most important thing.
You can't explore Songshan in one day, so a compact itinerary would be to take the Shaolin Cableway to Sanhuangzhai in the morning, then descend to the Forest of Steles, Shaolin Temple, and watch a performance at the Wushu Hall. It's very crowded and hot, so bring plenty of water and dry food.

There are many kinds of programs inside, especially the plays along the way, which are very shocking. There are also people making iron flowers, breathing fire, making iron flowers, dancing with fire sticks, and accompanied by sound and light shows. It is a very meaningful performance and very suitable for bringing children out to watch together!
It's really fun. I went to Wansui Mountain and Qingming Shanghe Park two days ago. I was sunburned the whole time and there were so many people. It was a good experience to pass by here. The air conditioning in each room was super cool. It was not so hot at night. The night tour was very beautiful. Children are free. The finale was full of drama along the way. You can travel through time in a second. There are NPCs in costumes around you. The performance is also very interesting. I recommend it to friends with children.

The elevator goes directly to the high-altitude observation deck. The little one leaned on the glass to see the panoramic view of Zhengzhou, clapping his hands excitedly. The staff was very patient with the children. The whole experience was very heartwarming. When the child was tired of walking, he could run in the square under the tower. I will come again next time!
The staff was thoughtful. We arrived early to play and caught up with the panoramic animation. The staff was afraid that we would miss it, so they took us to watch the animation first and then climb the tower. They also reminded us of many things to pay attention to. If you want to play the projects on the tower, it is recommended to buy a package ticket in advance.

The scenery is beautiful, there are many handsome guys, the staff are friendly and patient in introducing you to the fun and unique places. The whole scenic area is full of the atmosphere of winter ❄️
You can bring some mineral water. The water inside is all customized mineral water from Fantawild, 8 yuan. The amusement facilities and 4D theater are pretty good. The queues are relatively fast. The experience is good value for money. Fantasy Kingdom is more suitable for parents and children to travel with children

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.
Booking tickets for Zhengzhou Yellow River Cultural Park online was incredibly convenient! Using an electronic voucher for both adult and discount tickets allowed for expedited entry, saving me a ton of time. The park's scenery was stunning, the Yellow River's majestic majesty, and the cultural relics were truly impressive, allowing me to deeply experience the rich heritage of Yellow River culture. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the experience was fantastic. I'm determined to bring more friends to experience this unique attraction next time!

The price/performance ratio is very high, especially for college students. The experience is also very good. However, the food in the scenic area is very expensive. It is best to bring your own food. Also, this ticket can only be used once. Once you enter, you can't leave.
The aquarium is amazing! There are so many colorful fish swimming around everywhere, I couldn't even blink! 🐠Every exhibit is so interesting! 🎉

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.
I was a little hesitant before going because I was worried that there would be too many tourists during the holidays and that would affect the experience. In fact, it might be because there weren't many people during the week. I followed the online guide and played from top to bottom. The venue is a bit small but the performances are great. It's basically cool indoors, so it's suitable for bringing children to play!
