Jinci Temple is a "millennial architectural treasure trove" of Taiyuan, renowned for its "Three Wonders" (Zhou Cypress, Nanlao Spring, and Song Dynasty Maid Statues). The Shengmu Hall and Fish Pond Flying Bridge are exemplary structures from the Song and Yuan dynasties. It also houses inscriptions handwritten by Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin), showcasing a wonderful blend of culture and nature.
However, it also has its shortcomings. Parking is difficult during peak tourist season, some signs are unclear and easy to get lost in, and the surrounding facilities and promotional efforts need improvement. Would you like me to help you create a concise tour route for Jinci?
Jinci Temple is definitely worth a visit. Seeing truly ancient architecture and trees dating back thousands of years is wonderful. However, I feel the preservation isn't quite there yet; many of these things may be gone in the future.

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've been here a few times before, and it's getting better and better! I got an annual pass, and it was worth it! Now there are dedicated free parking lots, and there's also a free shuttle bus to the scenic area, which is very convenient and hassle-free! There are performances everywhere in the scenic area, and many NPCs to interact with, making it very lively! You can also earn silver coins, which can be exchanged for items.

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.
It's definitely worth a visit. There are three major plays: "Ice Fantasy" is suitable for all ages and tells the story of ancient people in Henan; then there's "Li Family Village" and "The Train Station," both quite touching. The train station is a moving theater, which is very interesting. The rest are smaller theaters, each with its own strengths and weaknesses; I didn't quite understand some of them.

Early winter was the perfect time to visit; the temperature was just right, and there wasn't an unbearable temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. I was very satisfied! The orchids were fantastic, and the cacti were large and adorable. I loved them.
Taiyuan Botanical Garden has become a newly popular tourist attraction, largely thanks to its starry sky-top elevator observation deck. The three hemispherical tropical museums opposite, reflected in the water, resemble an alien base. Now that it's winter and the off-season, the crowds are concentrated here! You could easily spend a whole day here in the summer. There are electric shuttle buses and small electric cars available for rent, so it's not tiring for the elderly or children!

I must give Yinji Animal Kingdom and Monkey Planet a five-star rating! This was definitely the most surprising stop on our trip. Over 100 primates, white tigers, and lions created a truly joyful atmosphere. Whether you're traveling with family or friends, you're guaranteed to have a wonderful time!
It's definitely worth a visit, ideally for about two days; even one day requires some planning! Overall, I highly recommend it; the kids had a blast 😁 from morning till night. The November temperature in Zhengzhou is still quite warm, perfect for a family trip. It was crowded due to Halloween activities, so I recommend going to the Chief's House first; you can buy a U-Pass there, which is definitely worthwhile.

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.
It's definitely worth a visit. There are many artifacts on display, and you can easily spend a long time there. Hiring a guide will greatly enhance your understanding of the historical background of the artifacts, and the guides are quite good. It gets a bit crowded during the summer holidays.

A truly magnificent lakeside scene.
Willows still sway in the autumn breeze.
Apricot yellow mingles with maple red, exuding autumnal charm. The clear lake reflects pavilions, terraces, towers, and galleries.
At night, the Chaoran Tower lights up, an indescribable beauty.
It can only be said that Jinan's cultural and tourism departments and government agencies put in effort, but didn't give the impression that you needed to pay for visual appeal. There were many pitfalls along the way. Thumbs up to Jinan!
Daming Lake isn't a breathtakingly stunning body of water; it lacks an overbearing beauty. Its essence lies in the inherent composure and gentle warmth of Jinan, this old city.
Stepping into the park from the bustling streets, the summer heat seems to be separated by an invisible curtain. Suddenly, the view opens up, the lake like a vast, gently shimmering piece of jade, calming the city's restlessness. This seamless transition from "city" to "scenery" is Daming Lake's most generous gift.
The beauty here lies in its sense of proportion. It possesses the poetic beauty of "lotuses on all four sides, willows on three, mountains in one half, lake in the other," yet it doesn't feel desolate or barren. The lake water is alive, connected to the pulse of Baotu Spring and Black Tiger Spring, so it is clear, moist, and carries the vitality rising from the earth. Take a leisurely boat ride or stroll along the lakeshore. As far as the eye can see, there are the elegant pavilions and ancestral halls with their upturned eaves and brackets, nestled peacefully on the bank, more like long-time neighbors than main attractions. This harmonious blend of culture and nature is just right, neither vying for attention nor competing for anything.
What touched me most were the corners belonging to the locals. Not the tourist-packed Chaoran Tower, but the elderly practicing Tai Chi under the shade of trees, the sounds of erhu music playing by the covered bridge, and citizens fetching water from the lake with buckets—drinkable spring water. This scene instantly transforms Daming Lake from a tourist attraction into a living space, brimming with a down-to-earth and warm atmosphere.
If you're looking for breathtaking scenery, Daming Lake might seem ordinary. But if you're willing to slow down, it will envelop you with its generous power. It's not for "checking off" photos, but for "experiencing." On a leisurely afternoon, find a bench by the lake, watch the ripples on the water, and feel the willow branches sway gently. You'll understand that this "unassuming" beauty is its most precious virtue.
Summary and Suggestions:
* **Character:** Dignified and gentle, rich in historical depth and everyday life.
* **Suitable for:** Travelers who appreciate history and culture, seek urban tranquility, and enjoy a slower pace of life.
* **Best Way to Experience:** Boating on the lake or strolling along its shores. Don't be fixated on visiting every attraction; focus on experiencing the leisurely atmosphere.
* **Highlight:** Pay attention to the locals fetching water, playing chess, or singing along the lakeside; they are the most vibrant colors in this picturesque scene.
The beauty of Daming Lake requires you to quiet your mind to truly appreciate its lingering, mellow aftertaste.

A fantastic city museum with a rich collection, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Song Dynasty and the history of Kaifeng. The only drawback is the lack of parking; visitors must park nearby.
Kaifeng, nestled in the heart of the Central Plains on the banks of the Yellow River, is one of China's eight ancient capitals. It was a crucial political, economic, and cultural center in ancient China, maintaining the historical and cultural roots of the Chinese nation. Thousands of years of development have shaped Kaifeng into the ancient capital it is today, boasting numerous scenic spots and historical sites, rich cultural heritage, vibrant folk culture, and a diverse array of unique cuisine.
Precious artifacts tell the story of Kaifeng's long and rich history. The Kaifeng Museum allows us to journey through time, witness Kaifeng's vicissitudes, and experience the unique charm of this ancient city!

Buying a ticket to Cliff World also grants access to the Grand Canyon, making the ticket well worth it. There are many attractions inside, allowing you to explore at your own pace. The scenery is beautiful, and the staff are incredibly welcoming, greeting you along the way. I visited in winter, and each season offers a different kind of beauty. Highly recommended!
As expected of the majestic Taihang Mountains, Baoquan boasts the most beautiful section of the mountain range. A little over an hour's drive from Zhengzhou along the highway allows visitors to escape the city's "concrete jungle" and plunge into the secluded paradise of Baoquan, enveloped by waterfalls, red cliffs, and a sea of clouds. Here, a 368-meter-high "L"-shaped cave elevator cleaves through the rock like a giant axe; the 716-square-meter Xiangyun viewing platform hangs atop a 300-meter cliff; the Luojia Temple cable car, capable of accommodating 200 people, weaves through the valleys like an "airbus"; and there are also Ferris wheels and cliff swings available for unlimited rides.

Recommended by a friend from Shandong, this is a relatively new tourist attraction. The visitor center has a large parking area with plenty of spaces. After reaching the main gate, you need to take a bus to get to the rest of the park; the ticket includes shuttle bus service. The park itself is quite large. The university hall has eight floors and five exhibition halls themed around benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. It also features performances, souvenirs, a 5D movie, and a restaurant. Outdoors, there's a 70-meter-tall statue of Confucius, and there's a light and fireworks show at night. It's definitely worth bringing children to experience.
The setting is tranquil, with a gurgling stream, a bridge, and a few stone houses, giving it a sense of paradise. The room itself is fully equipped and comfortable. The service was also very friendly, especially the breakfast attendant. Even though we had to get up early to travel, she prepared a delicious and varied breakfast for us at 6:30 AM. Thank you so much!
