    It was my first time visiting the caves in China, and it was amazing! It's well-maintained as a tourist spot, so it's easy to get around. I definitely recommend the night entrance, as it's much more beautiful.

    Three days for 100 yuan is a great deal! No pressure, lots of interactive NPCs, perfect for relaxing or bringing kids. The price is really unbeatable; we had a fantastic time and will definitely come again.

    I spent the entire day, from 9:30 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening, inside that place called Henan, surrounded by tall yellow walls, binge-watching shows in a rush. It was an experience that was well worth the money.

    The immersive performance was excellent! The holographic performance is also well worth seeing! Kaifeng Prefecture isn't very large, so walking around isn't tiring! There was also a lot of interaction with the audience! Kaifeng is a treasure trove, definitely worth visiting again!

    I spent a whole day exploring Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. Because it was the off-season, there weren't too many people, and the overall travel experience was quite good. The scenic area is quite unique, with mountains and water complementing each other, especially the view from the entrance of Hongshixia Gorge, which is truly beautiful. Although it's a scenic area, the food prices inside were reasonable, and the staff I encountered were all very dedicated.

    The explanation was excellent; this tour guide is a seasoned professional. He taught us how to appreciate cultural relics, providing both listening and learning opportunities. However, the explanation was too short; I hope they can offer longer tours so we can listen to more.

    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 She not only knows a lot about the cultural relics in the Henan Museum, but also incorporates relevant historical content into her explanations.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.

    To be honest, I was very satisfied. It was not the peak season, so there were not many people. There were no commercial activities inside the White Horse Temple, and there was free tea to drink! Walking inside, I deeply felt the tranquility of Buddhism, and my heart was not impetuous!
