Families, when you come to Kaifeng, you absolutely must visit Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City! This trip was an absolute blast!
Entering the scenic area, it felt like stepping into a martial arts novel. The quaint buildings and NPCs in period costumes instantly transported me back to the joyful world of revenge. The various live performances during the day are particularly spectacular, like "The Three Strikes on Zhu Family Village," featuring horse battles and explosions one after another, the scenes are truly breathtaking.
And here's the kicker: Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City is absolutely stunning at night! With the lights on and thousands of lanterns ablaze, the entire park transforms into a dreamy world of light and shadow. Strolling along the lakeside, the buildings on both sides shimmer with color, their lights reflected in the water, creating a shimmering atmosphere.
The iron flower show at the Chengzhai battlefield is a must-see! Hot molten iron is struck into the night sky, instantly bursting into a dazzling golden flower, more dazzling than fireworks. The moment the iron flowers flew, the audience gasped in amazement, and I was mesmerized. There's also "Legend of Shenzhou" at Haichuan Square, a show that blends modern technology with legendary stories. Its dazzling lights and spectacular acrobatics make you feel like you've traveled back in time and witnessed the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.
When you're tired of playing, head to the food court for a bite; it's a foodie's paradise! Kaifeng's signature soup dumplings, with their thin wrappers and generous fillings, burst with broth. The steaming, crispy, and tender fried jelly are incredibly authentic. There's also a dazzling array of grilled skewers, candied haws, and steamed buns. The variety is incredibly affordable, so you don't have to worry about disappointing.
Wansuishan Wuxia City is truly a treasure trove. Experience the heroic spirit of martial arts during the day, and enjoy stunning night views and delicious local delicacies at night. Every corner is filled with surprises. I'll definitely be back!
