For taking photos and checking in, it is best to go during the off-season when there are relatively fewer people. It is a bit tiring and you have to walk a longer way, but the grottoes along the way are amazing and the big Buddha in the middle is shocking. If you have never been there, I recommend you go there once and bring your children with you.
I like history very much. I can come here to visit the historical traces. I found an interpreter, who should be an intern. He was very ordinary. I think it would be interesting to collect some information on the song. Construction began in the Northern Wei Dynasty and has experienced more than 1,300 years of history. It is quite worth it.

Mount Tai's Winter Rime Ice Spectacular
Saved by 261 users16124 positive reviews
Verified User Reviews
As the most majestic of the Five Great Mountains, it attracts countless visitors. We chose the less strenuous route, taking a bus from Tianwai Village to Zhongtianmen, then taking the cable car up the mountain, walking down to Zhongtianmen, and then taking another bus to the base of the mountain. The total journey took six hours. There are many cliff carvings and the mountain scenery is breathtaking, making it worth a visit. Many people reach the summit from Hongmen, so those with more stamina should try this.
Mount Tai is a must-climb at least once in your life. The scenery is breathtaking, and it's a real test of willpower. The path up is shady and the food is really affordable. Cucumbers are 10 yuan for four days, and water is also affordable, 2-5 yuan depending on the altitude. Zhongtianmen's freshly fried egg and chive pancakes, 10 yuan for three, are truly delicious when you're hungry. Meeting the swarthy, muscular porters makes you realize how much it truly feels to work hard!

Jinan is worthy of being called the City of Springs. There are springs at every step and willow trees everywhere. Baotu Spring, as the symbol of Jinan, is a must-see. The living water springs can be seen everywhere and are worth seeing!
Baotu Springs boasts several springs, each with incredibly clear water that's truly refreshing. The ponds are home to koi carp, which swim around in the clear waters, making for a delightful sight and adding a touch of rustic charm. It's also a great place to bring children for water play, as there's a small, shallow area open for treading. I love Baotu Springs; it's unlike any other park attraction.

The scenery is beautiful and pleasant, and the performances are very creative. However, it is too hot in the summer. Although the scenic area has taken many measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down tourists, there are too few air-conditioned rest rooms, which is not satisfactory!

The hotel is fine, let me digress a little. This is my first time visiting Kaifeng in 6 years. The only thing that hasn't changed is the two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles running rampant on the streets, regardless of whether they are on the motor vehicle lane or the non-motor vehicle lane, and regardless of the red and green lights.
The scenic area is nice and interesting. Let me digress a little. This is the first time I have come to Kaifeng to play in 6 years.

This attraction truly exceeded my expectations. The storyline, the acting, the atmosphere, and the service were all excellent. The staff were incredibly patient. My only regret was that I didn't get to take photos of so many of the handsome men and beautiful women, but it was definitely worth it! I highly recommend the two-day ticket, which allows you to see all the plays you're interested in and avoid the hassles of waiting in line. Overall, it was truly fantastic. I'd love to go back again if I have the chance to see both the small and main theaters. My favorite plays were Xue Huaiyi, Red Face, and Auditorium of the Seventh Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works. The other plays were also excellent. If you want to see Red Temple School, you must schedule in advance. I went on a weekend, and the Red Temple School show was already full with about 50 minutes to go, which was a shame.
"Wheat, Wheat" 🌟🌟🌟🌟The pacing and lighting are incredibly well-controlled, with many eye-opening moments. The story's premise is also brilliant. From ancient times to the present, countless Li Shiyi have silently dedicated themselves to us.
"Xue Huaiyi" 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Must see! Must see! Must see! We watched it on xhs, and many people went for the lead actor's looks. The recommended best seats are also the ones closest to him. Sure enough, when he appeared, he was right in front of me, and the lights suddenly hit him. It really lit up, and he was so close to me.

This scenic spot is very good, but the 140 combined ticket is a bit of a rip-off, and the guide fee of 200 is also a bit of a rip-off. It is recommended to buy only one ticket for the Confucius Temple for 80, go in and see it yourself, you can make a guide online in advance, and the guide is just so-so. There is nothing to see in the Confucius Mansion. If you have time, you can go to the Confucius Forest for 10 yuan. If you don't have time, don't waste the combined ticket.
The Confucius Temple in Qufu feels like a journey through time. Red walls and yellow tiles frame the temple, and ancient trees tower above. From Lingxing Gate to Dacheng Hall, every building bears the weight of history. See the "seductive and bickering" architecture, and the nine stone pillars of Dacheng Hall, carved with dragons, so exquisite that they were said to have been covered with cloth whenever the emperor arrived. The temple also preserves over a thousand Han and Wei dynasty steles and Ming and Qing dynasty stone carvings.

You need to climb over 3 mountains to get out of Shaoshi Mountain, whether it is Haohanpo or Shaolin Temple. It is recommended to go up the mountain from Shaolin Temple, and it is relatively easy to go down the mountain from Haohanpo Sanhuang Temple.
As one of the birthplaces of Chinese Zen Buddhism, Shaolin Temple is not only considered "the most famous temple in the world" but also the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu. Originally built during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (495 AD), it rose to fame after the thirteen monks rescued Emperor Li Shimin, earning it the title of "ancestral home of Zen Buddhism." Mount Song, one of the Five Sacred Mountains, was historically considered the "center of heaven and earth," endowing Shaolin Temple with profound geographical and cultural significance.

It's very close to the scenic area. The area is also very interesting and the scenery is beautiful. You can take a boat tour and a cable car. The area is very large, so you must buy a transportation ticket. Highly recommended.
The entrance fee, transportation, and Skybus ticket combined totaled 300, which seemed expensive, but it was definitely worth it. The entire scenic area is quite high-quality and uniquely beautiful! You could spend a whole day exploring it. When you're tired, you can stay in a B&B, enjoy some skewers and beer in the evening, and enjoy the mountain breeze. It was quite refreshing! The only negative thing was the parking lot outside the scenic area: it was shabby and dusty.

The scenic area is not big, the buildings are very delicate, there are many performances, it is quite interesting to follow the rhythm of the performance table. After all, it is a hot day of 30 or 40 degrees, and the actors are performing under the scorching sun, which is also very hard.
Kaifeng Mansion is well worth a visit. The building is quite large and you can spend a long time exploring it. There are many shows being performed at different locations throughout the day starting at 9 o'clock. We went to watch two shows which were very interesting.
