The famous tour guide Xiao Bing gave an in-depth explanation for 3 and a half hours. He participated in the restoration of the Big Buddha and has a deep understanding of Longmen Grottoes. He gave you a thorough explanation from Baiyuan to Xishan. It is worth it for southerners to visit Longmen.
You can buy both regular tickets for your family and discounted tickets for teachers at the same time, which is a big plus. It saves you the trouble of going to the counter to buy tickets. Longmen Grottoes is one of the four major grottoes. The scenic area is divided into the East Mountain Grottoes and the West Mountain Grottoes by the Yi River. The Buddha niches of varying sizes have varying degrees of damage, but they carry history... The Vairocana Buddha in the West Mountain Grottoes is the tallest, largest, and most popular.

Stone steps, like ladders, lead to a crack in the sky;
The cliffs, like a curtain, reflect the unwavering spirit of the mountains and rivers, which have endured for millennia.
Here, there are no soft veils of cloud, only the proud earth standing tall against the heavens—
Mount Huashan is a long ink painting that splits the fog and bears the light.
Huashan night climb from north to west is really worth going. It is a different experience. You can sit and lie down anywhere. I want to go a second time. The West Peak Cableway is great. Before I took it, I thought the ticket price was a bit high, 100+ per side. After I took it, I charged a little less. This price is worth it.

It's definitely worth the trip. My family of four had a fantastic experience visiting Laojun Mountain! It was a refreshing escape from the summer heat. We took the cable car to the summit, then hiked to admire the sea of clouds. The Golden Summit Taoist temple complex was breathtaking and magnificent. The kids were thrilled to try their hand at the cliff walk, and the whole family exclaimed, "This wonderland truly lives up to its reputation!"
We went in the afternoon and waited over an hour for the first-level cable car and half an hour for the second-level cable car. If you wait before 10 a.m., there's basically no line. We finished watching the lights turn on around 7 p.m. and took the cable car back down. It was still a bit chilly at 7 p.m. It had been 35 degrees during the day for the past two days, so even wearing sun protection clothing was a bit cold on the mountain at night.

The scenic area is well planned, with performances one after another. If you watch them all, you really won't have enough time. The Jingdong Defense War and Yue Fei's spear-to-kill Liang Wang are worth seeing, but you won't be able to see them if it's too crowded late. The snacks inside are rich and inexpensive, and the overall impression is very good.
Qingming Shanghe Park has many performances and a large park, making it worth a visit. The "Dream of the Capital of the Song Dynasty" performance is magnificent and rich in content, and is recommended. In the summer, during the daytime, there are cooling sprays. Popular performances such as "Iron Flower" and "Yue Fei Challenges the Young King of Liang" are recommended to arrive early to reserve seats.

Wansui Mountain Wuxia City is the most cost-effective in the whole Kaifeng. It is too big and the most sincere scenic spot. The scenic spots inside are rich in layers and have their own characteristics. It is the only place worth visiting in Kaifeng. Qingming Shanghe Park is not as good as this. Wansui Mountain Wuxia City > Qingming Shanghe Park
This was my kids' favorite scenic spot on this trip. They couldn't get enough of it in just three days, and even after leaving for several days, they kept nagging about going back. The scenic area really offers performances of all sizes, and the quality is excellent. The NPCs are very engaging and interactive. It's absolutely worth it, and the ticket price is very affordable. Five-star rating.

The park is clean and tidy. Although the weather is hot, the waiting time is acceptable. Most of the park has sheds to shade the sun.
A breathtaking experience! This immersive journey through the loess labyrinth interweaves grand narratives (famine, sacrifice, and resilience) with microcosmic details (such as those of Lijia Village and the train station), striking the heart. It deeply reveals Henan's memory of suffering and resilience, and passionately celebrates the cultural roots and endless vitality of the Central Plains. Innovative in form and powerful in emotion, it evokes a profound resonance of land, history, and life.

Wudang Mountain is a sacred site for Taoism, a religion that fits perfectly with Chinese culture. With its rich cultural heritage, it attracts countless believers from far and wide. However, climbing Wudang Mountain requires a certain level of stamina.
No one told me Wudang Mountain was so big and so difficult to climb! I recommend taking the cable car. My legs were completely worn out the same night I got down (it's common knowledge that you need to wait two days after training your legs). It's really tough on your knees, and the whole section was foggy, so I didn't see any scenery. It wasn't worth the climb!

You have to go to the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple and Shaolin Kung Fu. I finally realized what I had longed for. I ate vegetarian food, which was delicious. I also watched the Shaolin Kung Fu performance (it is recommended to reserve a seat early). It was very exciting. I took the cable car to see the highlight, the Book Cliff, which was very spectacular.
Shaolin Temple is incredibly famous. We visited the pagoda forest, the main training hall, and enjoyed a performance by Shaolin monks. I was particularly impressed by the two stone tablets at the entrance, inscribed with the lyrics and music from the films "Shepherd's Song" and "Shaolin Temple." These two songs are destined for immortality.

It's a great place worth visiting, with a variety of experiences throughout the whole process. Starting from the free bus ~ small transportation within the courtyard ~ boat ride ~ stable and long cable car experience ~ first time riding the sky bus ~ a one-minute elevator that reflects the technological content. I didn't feel tired at the end of the tour, and it is more suitable for the elderly to play together.
Route A is a clockwise tour of the Baquanxia Scenic Area. You will take a sightseeing bus, walk through the time tunnel, take a cruise, walk about 2 kilometers to the canyon section, take a cable car to the top of the mountain, walk or take an aerial bus to the Sky City, take the elevator, and take a sightseeing bus out of the scenic area. The ticket price is a bit more expensive, but the tour is more relaxing.

I went to Kaifeng to check in at Kaifeng Mansion. I hired a tour guide at the door for 80 yuan so that the children could learn more about history. I watched almost all the performances inside according to the schedule, but there were too many people in the peak season and I didn’t watch the greeting at the door. I feel that this season is more suitable for visiting in the afternoon and evening.
This is one of the smaller parks in Kaifeng, but it still offers quite a few performances. Since the venue doesn't clear at night, it's a good deal if you can also see the night show with a regular ticket, but you won't be able to see the live version of "One Lantern."
The most exciting show is the one at the martial arts arena, but I recommend the others as well. It's probably the most informative of the three major parks in Kaifeng, so those interested in history and culture should visit Kaifeng Mansion.
