Recently planning a trip for the National Day holiday, the Little Red Book friends gave so many great suggestions, very touching~ Organized last year’s National Day itinerary from my Moments posts, 4 adults and 1 child, costs shown in Image 11 Sharing with friends who need it, let’s support each other Trip Background Our 7-year-old has read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Half-Hour Chinese History," and is very interested in the stories of Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass, and knows Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Three Kingdoms characters like the back of their hand~ Trip Planning Based on the child’s current interests, we increased the Three Kingdoms-related stops in the itinerary, such as Nanyang and Xuchang. Besides Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass, we added Tongguan and Wuguan along the way, choosing relatively less crowded scenic spots to avoid crowds. During the Trip The child’s interest was the main focus of the itinerary, with high engagement, which helped connect the words in books with real-life experiences. Little Surprises at Lesser-Known Scenic Spots The horse battle performance "Chu-Han Struggle at the Pass" at Hangu Pass exceeded expectations, featuring not only horse battles but also fire and black smoke, creating a strong ancient war atmosphere, included in the ticket price; felt even more exciting than the Three Kingdoms City in Wuxi, but with very little promotion. Guo State Museum, arrived at 4 PM during the National Day holiday, few people, felt like a private tour, idioms like "lips are gone, teeth feel cold" and "passing through a state to attack another" instantly came to life. The official guide hired for 100 yuan gave a very good explanation.

Xingyang·Zhengzhou New Year's Itinerary Recommendation First Stop: H Hotel (Xingyang Zhengzhou West High-Speed ​​Railway Station Branch) 📍Address: Northwest corner of the intersection of Zhiji Road and Xingyun Road Needless to say, choosing the H Hotel as my base was a wise choice. It's clean, comfortable, has parking, and is super convenient for all major attractions—great value for money! The room was impeccably clean from the moment I stepped inside. While some facilities could be improved, it was more than adequate for travelers who prefer convenience and quiet. Second Stop: Xingyang Ancient City 📍Address: 50 meters south of Huancheng Road | Opening Hours: All year round I recommend visiting the ancient city early in the morning. In winter, the ancient city walls are less crowded, making it perfect for quiet photos. The cool air carries a hint of sunshine, and the historical sites seem to transport you back to the bustling city of a thousand years ago. I suggest walking clockwise around the ancient city to feel the traces of time. Along the way, you might even see elderly people carrying Spring Festival couplets hopping around the market, creating a sense of time travel. Third Stop: Xingyang Pedestrian Street (New Year's Market) The winter-limited New Year's market is incredibly vibrant! The entire street is filled with freshly made New Year's goods: cured meats, Spring Festival couplets, candied fruit, fried dough twists… The vendors are all local villagers, and their calls to their stalls grow increasingly enthusiastic. Prices here are cheaper than in the city center, and there are on-site samples available. Some vendors even give away free sugar figurines to please children. The freshly fried twisted dough sticks we bought were crispy and fragrant with every bite. Eating them while strolling around, breathing out the steam, truly brought back the nostalgic flavors of childhood New Year's! Don't miss the handmade sugar figurines on-site; they're cute and delicious, perfect for bringing home to add festive cheer for the New Year. Fourth Stop: Xingyang People's Park - Boat Trip 📍Address: Xingyang Botanical Garden, No. 031 Jingcheng South Road, Xingyang City, Zhengzhou, Henan Province If you want to take a short walk and relax, you can rent a small boat in the park to experience the tranquility of winter. We recommend going in the afternoon to enjoy the sunset over the lake. There aren't many people boating then, and the fallen leaves on the shore and the distant river create a particularly poetic scene in the crisp air. For photography enthusiasts, capturing a bird perched on a branch is definitely a small but precious moment of happiness amidst a life of leisure. Fifth Stop: Shipo Village Cultural Square, Cuimiao Town 📍Address: Cuimiao Town, Xingyang City, Zhengzhou, Henan Province If you still have energy, make your final stop at Shipo Village Cultural Square. This is the village's collective activity center, hosting a small New Year's market during holidays, and you might even catch a folk performance. The atmosphere here is more rustic than in the city, perfect for quietly experiencing the flavor of celebrating the New Year in your hometown. Useful Tips 1. Cash is the primary payment at the market, although some vendors accept Alipay and WeChat Pay. Bringing a small amount of cash will be more convenient. 2. The market is mostly a pedestrian street. To avoid crowds during peak hours, it's recommended to start browsing around 10 AM or 2-3 PM. 3. Remember to dress warmly if it's cold. There are vendors selling mutton soup and hand-pulled pancakes on the street; eating them hot is especially comforting. 4. When taking photos, use a wide aperture and use sugar figurines, Spring Festival couplets, and fried dough twists as the foreground. A blurred background will enhance the atmosphere of the New Year's market. This trip to a small town in Henan to experience the festive spirit of the Lunar New Year left me with hands full of purchases and a heart overflowing with the warmth of traditional New Year celebrations. If you're tired of the cold, impersonal atmosphere of shopping malls during the holidays, why not visit an old town market this winter? It's guaranteed to let you experience the rich atmosphere of the New Year early! #LunarNewYearMarket #XingyangNewYear #FindingTheFlavorOfTheNewYear #HenanTravel #BelovedSmallTown

A winter market tour of Xingyang offers a unique experience, allowing you to explore the old town market, enjoy authentic local cuisine, and visit several parks along the way, combining nature and culture. The entire market street is bustling with activity, offering fresh New Year's goods, handmade couplets, freshly made twisted dough sticks, and various trinkets – all limited-time surprises available before the Lunar New Year. Combined with the Xingyang Jingxiang City Ruins Ecological Park, Xingyang People's Park, Party Building Theme Park, and Zhengzhou Yellow River Culture Park, this route is worth exploring whether you want an immersive traditional New Year experience or leisurely stroll through Xingyang's history and nature! 🧧 Xingyang Old Town New Year's Market: A Joyful New Year's Market Experience Want to experience the most authentic "New Year's atmosphere"? More exciting than online shopping for New Year's goods is experiencing the old town market in person. Before the Lunar New Year, both streets are filled with stalls selling New Year's goods, including cured meats, sausages, candied melons, and couplets – all made by villagers themselves and sold on-site at affordable prices with free samples! Freshly fried dough twists, piping hot, are a heartwarming treat to enjoy while strolling around. There are also sugar figurine stalls specially designed for children, with dragon-shaped sugar figurines that kids adore. This place is even more welcoming and cozy than a shopping mall; the rich festive atmosphere fills bags and bags, leaving you feeling joyful after your visit. 🏨 Recommended Accommodation: Xingyang Zhongzhou Hotel Address: 20 meters east of the intersection of Suohe Road and Heyin Road (north side of the road) Accommodation Experience: Convenient transportation, perfect for going to the market or visiting the park. The rooms are clean and tidy, the beds are comfortable, and the soft lighting at night, combined with the landscape paintings in the room and the quiet environment, ensured a better night's rest than expected.

In the morning, you can see elderly people doing morning exercises, and it becomes quieter in the afternoon, making it perfect for family outings. 🪴 Xingyang Gaoshan Town Party Building Theme Park Address: Gaoshan Town Opening Hours: All year round Recommendation: A less-visited and tranquil park, featuring meaningful displays of Party building culture and leisure paths, suitable for learning about local new rural construction and relaxation. 🏞 Zhengzhou Yellow River Culture Park - Pavilion Address: No. 777 Jiangshan Road, Xingyang City Opening Hours: All year round Recommendation: A top choice for viewing the Yellow River scenery, surrounded by nature. Watching the sunset over the Yellow River from the pavilion is particularly therapeutic and perfect for taking photos. 🛺 Transportation Tips: · Many attractions in the city are concentrated in one area, so it's recommended to take a taxi or share a ride. Xingyang Zhongzhou Hotel has a good location, making it convenient to go anywhere. · For the busiest market, choose the morning or afternoon when it's most crowded. 💡 Useful Reminders: · The market is filled with various aromas, so remember to go on an empty stomach! You can sample everything on-site, so leave room in advance to pack some local delicacies. · Spring Festival couplets, fried dough twists, sugar figurines, and cured meats are all must-buy specialties. · Remember to bring a camera or phone if you want to take photos; every corner of the street is photogenic. 🎯 Discussion Forum #XingyangNewYearFair #NewYearGoodsFair #SlowTravel #NewYearMemories #MustVisitHenan

Trip Highlights 1️⃣ Yellow River Cultural Park 📍 Location: No. 1, South Bank of the Yellow River, Jiangshan Road, Huiji District, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province ⏰ Hours: 08:00 AM - 06:00 PM (Last entry at 05:30 PM) 🚗 Pro-tip: Driving is highly recommended; it's about a 40-minute ride from downtown. As the centerpiece of this trip, this is where you can practically "feel" the heartbeat of the Mother River up close. Once you stroll up to the riverfront plaza, the Yellow River goes roaring right beneath your feet, crashing against the banks. On a sunny day, the water sparkles with golden hues, and the breeze carries that distinct earthy scent of silt—it instantly clicks why this is our Mother River! 2️⃣ Yan and Huang Emperors Plaza A quick 15-minute walk along the park trails leads you straight to the 100-meter-tall statues of Emperors Yan and Huang towering over the mountaintop. It's incredibly epic in person! The two statues are carved into the mountain backdrop, surrounded by lush greenery, giving off serious historical vibes from afar. Rain or shine, every photo you snap here is guaranteed Insta-worthy. Standing there looking up at the behemoths, you'll feel an instant connection to history and a deep sense of belonging. 3️⃣ The Three Bridges Take another 10-minute stroll from the statues, and you'll spot three Yellow River bridges, all rocking completely different styles, sitting side-by-side. Spanning from an old late-Qing dynasty bridge to modern marvels, it’s like catching a glimpse of a century of Chinese bridge-building evolution in a single glance.

There are plenty of grassy areas and shade along the way. If it's windy, the mist and silt smell hit pretty hard, so packing a hat and some tissues is a must. · When shooting the Yan and Huang Emperors statues, aim from the foot of the mountain upward for that epic scale. On a bright day, whip out the wide-angle lens to capture the whole grand scene. · Convenience stores are scarce around the park, so make sure to bring enough water and snacks. · The scenic trails are long and it gets breezy, so rocking comfortable sneakers is a good call. · It's a 40-minute drive from downtown to the Yellow River Cultural Park. If you're grabbing a cab, book it in advance. On weekends or holidays, try to head out before 10 AM to beat the rush. · Book your nearby stay early and compare reviews. Hot spring hotels and guesthouses sell out super fast during holidays. Ready to go? Take a well-deserved break in Zhengzhou, reconnect with the Yellow River with your own eyes and footsteps, and let your body and soul unwind in the warm embrace of the Central Plains!
