A huge thumbs up to our guide, Xiao Bing! Her explanations were professional and engaging throughout, explaining the historical background of the Longmen Grottoes and the stories behind the Buddha statues in a clear and easy-to-understand way. She also shared many details that you can't find in books. The guide was patient and responsible, managing the pace exceptionally well, leading us around crowds and finding the best viewing and photo spots, taking beautiful pictures for us. Following her explanations, we deeply felt the awe and profoundness of the grotto art. Professional and considerate, she was definitely a highlight of this trip!
Although the Longmen Grottoes are notorious for having nine out of ten caves destroyed, their sheer number means that many are still relatively well-preserved. If your itinerary allows, you can spend 4-5 hours leisurely exploring, fully appreciating the historical significance. Local prices are also relatively inexpensive. After visiting the grottoes, you can head to the university area to enjoy some delicious food.

This time, I happened to visit during the chrysanthemum exhibition. There were all kinds of chrysanthemums, each with its own unique shape and appearance, which I really enjoyed! The performances at Qingming Riverside Park were one after another, making it hard to leave the park. You could easily spend two days there and still not have enough time to enjoy it!
Based on Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" from the Northern Song Dynasty, the restored scenic area is vast, offering an immersive experience of Song Dynasty culture. You can also interact with NPCs to obtain Song Dynasty coins, which can be exchanged for various items! Unlimited entry within 3 days allows you to fully experience all the attractions, and the Royal Park also offers free attractions!

I finally made it to Laojun Mountain, a place I'd been longing to visit! It was so beautiful! I never expected to find affordable Luckin Coffee, BaWangChaJi, Mixue Ice Cream, and even KFC on the mountain! It was so satisfying!!
The natural scenery of Laojun Mountain is truly exceptional, especially the breathtaking Ten-Mile Painting Screen. You can reach the entrance to the Ten-Mile Painting Screen by taking the first and second cable cars. Exiting the cable car station marks the official start of the Ten-Mile Painting Screen scenic area, the essence of Laojun Mountain's natural landscape. From the Ten-Mile Painting Screen, passing Mazong Ridge and Nantianmen, you can reach the Golden Summit Taoist Temple Complex. Reaching the Golden Summit Taoist Temple Complex under the blue sky and white clouds is even more magnificent; every snapshot is a masterpiece.

This is definitely a tourist attraction I'd visit twice! It's all about relieving bad moods! It's a fantastic way to release all that tension we usually have, it's truly amazing! Plus, everything inside is incredibly affordable, something you won't find anywhere else! You can eat, drink, and have fun to your heart's content!
I didn't have high expectations for Wansui Mountain; I just considered it a substitute for Qingming Festival and Shanghe Garden. However, once inside, I was surprised by the sheer number of performances. Basically, as soon as one show ended, another was about to start. It's a very small place, and watching the shows took a long time. I highly recommend visiting this place.

来郑州一定要去“只有河南”一趟。戏剧和演出都很好看。非常震撼。一天票看了“曹操的麦田”，“苏轼的河南”，“麦子啊麦子”，“薛怀义”，“梦幻剧场”，“张家大院”。离开前可以在门口看“文明之光”
A highly recommended place to visit!
The actors' professional performances combined with stunning sound effects.
The park has two restaurants with very reasonable prices and delicious food.
One day is simply not enough to see everything; I suggest a 3-day or 2-day trip to explore at your own pace.

The attraction itself is actually quite nice, but the management of the scenic area needs to be improved. I went during the summer vacation, and the queues were so long that you questioned your existence. There were queues for every small attraction, and each queue lasted for two hours. We hadn't even finished experiencing everything by the time the park was about to close. The management really needs to be improved!
It's worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful, the air is pleasant, and the sightseeing route is well-planned. If you are in good physical condition, I recommend taking Route B, which involves taking the elevator to the more challenging section, climbing to the Jade Emperor Palace, then taking the cable car down across the entire canyon, walking through the valley floor, and taking a boat to finish the tour. If you are not in good physical condition, take Route A, which is the opposite of Route B!

The "Sage of Heaven's Kind" and the "Teacher of Ten Thousand Generations" – the long history and cultural heritage are vividly displayed here. The grandeur of the Dacheng Hall, the verdant ancient cypress trees, and the profound cultural depth are truly awe-inspiring. Here, one can deeply feel the enduring legacy of Confucian thought and culture, as if conversing with the sages across time. It is well worth experiencing firsthand!
The Temple of Confucius is grand and magnificent, with emperors of each dynasty adding to its splendor. The Confucius Family Mansion is a testament to the scholarly family, and the Confucius Cemetery is lush and green, though many tombstones are fallen and neglected, overgrown with weeds. Walking 20,000 steps, the cultural journey was truly worthwhile.

No spontaneous trip, just repeated plans. You watched the Shaolin martial arts performance, and I admired the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees. It felt so good to receive support. Arrived early at 10 am, no mountain climbing, no cable car, just a slow, leisurely stroll, stopping and going, eating and taking photos along the way. The 1500-year-old ginkgo trees could be photographed for over an hour. The red leaves at the summit are for those with stronger stamina to show off their skills!
Cute Jing was also very helpful, today you're the leaf-scattering prop master! [relaxed][relaxed] Unexpectedly high-energy sand play next to the Pagoda Forest, exceeding KPI! [666][666] The only downside: Commercialization and rip-offs abound →→ 100 yuan for a photo with the little monk? Or is it just a phone photo? [weak][weak] A bowl of noodles at a snack shop costs 25 yuan, a blatant rip-off? No hot water if you don't buy food? [weak][weak]
Amazing place! Reserve a full day and enjoy everything without rush!

Kaifeng Prefecture, located on the north bank of Bao Gong East Lake in Kaifeng City, Henan Province, covers an area of over 60 acres. It was an important institution in the Northern Song Dynasty managing the capital and surrounding areas, and was hailed as the "Premier Prefecture of the World." It is now a Song Dynasty cultural theme park.
Kaifeng Prefecture, also known as the Southern Office, was initially built in the first year of the Liang Dynasty's Kai Ping era (907 AD). Due to war and flooding by the Yellow River, the original Kaifeng Prefecture no longer exists. The current Kaifeng Prefecture is a cultural tourism area modeled after the Song Dynasty Kaifeng Prefecture Office, officially opened on August 14, 2003. Kaifeng Prefecture has nine functional areas, including the Prefecture Office Culture Area, the Bao Zheng Culture Area, and the Taoist Culture Area, and also hosts live performances such as "Welcoming Guests at the Opening Ceremony" and "The Case of Chen Shimei." Kaifeng Prefecture is easily accessible and has a superior location, making it a great place for leisure and sightseeing. I highly recommend it.
Kaifeng Prefecture is a highly recommended tourist attraction. I bought a night ticket, and although it drizzled throughout the day of my visit and there weren't many tourists, the show still started on time. The actors were very professional and dedicated, unaffected by the weather. The sound, lighting, and audio-visual effects were perfect, the stage presentation was excellent, the story was engaging and easy for children to understand, and there was an interactive segment at the end. The staff at the attraction provided previews of the next show and directions after each performance, which was very thoughtful. Highly recommended!

Being able to actually go down into a tomb, see a real imperial mausoleum, and touch history is a fantastic experience! Plus, one ticket grants access to three exhibition halls, each with rich content. The entire scenic area is exceptionally beautiful and highly recommended!
It wasn't a wasted trip, and none of them were wasted either. Yangzhou also has a Han Dynasty tomb, but it was excavated by bulldozers, and you can see the "huangchang ticou" (a type of traditional Chinese tomb structure). The Guishan Han Tomb was carved into the mountainside; you have to duck down to enter the tomb passage, which is quite an experience. You can also see a stele museum and an imperial edict museum. Audio guides are available for 30 yuan. Overall, a good experience, but the 80 yuan ticket price is a bit pricey.
