A compliment to Longmen Grottoes tour guide Xiao Bing: "His professionalism and dedication in the drizzling rain exceeded all expectations!"
This morning, I braved the rain with my mother to visit the Longmen Grottoes. Our guide, Xiao Bing, was incredibly heartwarming and delightful from start to finish. I have to give him a huge thumbs up!
Xiao Bing's knowledge is incredibly solid, and his professionalism is unmatched. He explained everything from the history of the Longmen Grottoes' excavation, to the stylistic differences between the Northern Wei and Tang dynasties, to the story of the construction of the Vairocana Buddha. He even meticulously explained the details of the statues' clothing and the meaning of the inscriptions within the caves. He went beyond rote memorization, demonstrating his deep understanding of the grottoes' culture.
His explanations were also exceptionally detailed, slowing down his pace to clearly articulate the key points. My mother is elderly, and occasionally missed a point, but he would patiently turn back and repeat the explanation in more accessible terms. He was gentle and patient throughout, never giving us a once-over.
Most pleasantly surprised was that Xiao Bing even took the time to help us take photos. Knowing my mother and I wanted to take some souvenirs, he proactively offered to help. He found angles to avoid crowds and guided us on how to adjust our poses. He even considered how to avoid the drizzle and highlight the atmosphere of the caves. The resulting photos were beautifully composed and natural, far more professional than anything we could have taken on our own.
After the trip, Xiao Bing even shared his carefully curated collection of Longmen Grottoes-related literature and recommended films and TV series, saying, "So you can learn more about them after you return." This extra effort was truly heartwarming!
Xiao Bing was incredibly friendly and had a warm smile throughout the entire trip. I was so lucky to have such a professional, thoughtful, and considerate guide on my mother's trip! I highly recommend Xiao Bing for any Longmen Grottoes adventures; it's absolutely worth the money!
Definitely go at night! After 6 PM, the experience is completely different when the lights are on than before. If you're going to film, definitely go after the lights come on.
Also, the service center only offers free storage until 8 PM! If I had known earlier, I would have opted for the optional fee option so I could stay until dark instead of having to rush out!

It has been a long time since I came back from Wuhan, but the trip to Wuhan still left a deep impression on me, especially the beautiful Yellow Crane Tower, and the garden at the entrance was particularly impressive. The tour guide's explanation level was a little poor, but it was also acceptable.
The trip to Wuhan was very impressive. I hadn't originally planned to enter the park, but a few friends decided to watch the night light show. It was really good. The show by the pool was great, especially the main show in front of the tower. We all watched it at the foot of the Yellow Crane Tower. It seemed like half an hour. It was very impressive. At night, the lower floors of the Yellow Crane Tower are closed, as are several areas of the park. I recommend buying a night tour ticket if you can.

Qingming Shanghe Park: Recreating the bustling scene of the Northern Song Dynasty, entering the park feels like stepping back into ancient times. Enjoy wonderful folk performances and a variety of local snacks. The night view is truly breathtaking. I even got to see the long-awaited iron flower show. This intangible cultural heritage skill was truly breathtaking, and the audience was thrilled.
Qingming Shanghe Park is an introduction and performance of various stories from the Song Dynasty. There is a map for the park, a performance schedule, and amusement projects. It is very cost-effective. There is also water mist for cooling in the summer. The overall humanistic care is very good.

The scenery is quite good, but there are a lot of people in the summer. The ticket I bought includes a bottle of cultural beer, but I don’t know where to get it. I feel this can be improved.
Tickets were issued quickly and were very cost-effective. The complimentary beer was a great souvenir for the photo. One important thing to note is that you need to pick up the beer at the small shop next to the ticketing center at the bottom of the mountain. This is very important, and the instructions clearly state it! We rushed through the ticket counter and didn't check it properly, which led to a misunderstanding! Here's a picture for everyone, hope it helps! Remember, don't go through the mountain gate ticket gate!

The clear river reveals the trees of Hanyang, while the lush grass covers Parrot Island. This attraction is free and perfect for a leisurely visit with children and the elderly. Take in the tranquil Yangtze River and admire the nearby Yellow Crane Tower and Guishan Park. Visiting in spring or autumn is ideal; sunny summer days can be too hot, but the proximity to the Yangtze River creates a refreshing breeze. The night view is also stunning.
Good, good! We went during the day. It has historical and cultural value. Built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to commemorate Dayu's flood control efforts, it's an important symbol of Wuhan's history and culture. It offers excellent views, facing the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It's a national AAA-rated scenic spot with free admission, making it a very cost-effective tourist attraction.

The Hanyuan Forest of Steles is a hidden gem of culture, steeped in the fragrance of ink! Over 4,000 steles showcase ancient and modern calligraphy. The elegant gardens and stele corridors complement each other beautifully, and regular cultural events add to the vibrant atmosphere. A stroll through the area is filled with poetic charm, making it a must-see destination for experiencing the charm of Chinese calligraphy. It's also very close to the Qingming Shanghe Park, so it's a great place to visit.
Before I went there, I couldn't imagine how much fun it was. After I went there, I felt that I really couldn't leave. I spent a day unknowingly in one wonderful show after another and playing fun games. The food and beverage prices in the scenic area are very affordable. There are drink vending machines and free drinking water. I highly recommend young people to participate in the games, the elderly to feel the joy of their youth, the middle-aged people to experience the passion of their youth, and children to play freely. One ticket is very convenient for unlimited admission for three days. You just need to scan your face. I highly recommend everyone to go.

Teacher Wang Hui's explanations were fantastic. The two-hour visit allowed us to explore the museum's ten most treasured treasures and learn about 800 years of Chu history. It was definitely worth the trip. At Wang Hui's recommendation, we also listened to the chime bells, which was a truly unique experience.
Tour guide Xiao Jin's explanations were incredibly detailed and interactive, and the photos he took were beautiful too. A truly worthwhile experience! Highly recommended!
Also, I was lucky enough to get a front-row seat for the chime performance!

This place is truly worth a visit. Spend a day immersing yourself in the pure, unspoiled culture of the Central Plains, encompassing stories from thousands of years ago, modern times, happening right next to you, and stories you've heard since childhood. The visuals are powerful and impactful, and each theater experience is unique each time you visit. The price may seem high, but it's truly worth it. Many of the plays are touching, and many leave you thinking. 🤔
You can spend a whole day there, and there are places to rest and eat. The area is well-established, and the service is excellent. It's also a great place for photos and check-ins. I wouldn't recommend bringing young children, but it's educationally valuable for those in elementary school. This place embodies youth, history, open-mindedness, impulse, passion, and regret...
It's a place you can spend a whole day in. Due to time constraints, we only bought a ticket for one big show. The rest were many small shows. The performances were all great, and the scenes were great, very suitable for taking pictures. It's still nice to walk around and watch the performances slowly.

Great Wudang, great beauty! Very beautiful. Climb the mountain first, then take the cable car down, and then visit other Taoist temples. Planning well saves energy. Almost all the attractions are visited. It's great!
We visited during the last week of August, so the crowds were much smaller. The main halls of Nanyan Palace and Zixiao Palace were under renovation. After taking the scenic shuttle bus and the cable car, it's another 20-minute hike up the mountain to the Golden Summit, where the scenery is breathtaking. For a more relaxed descent, you can take the cable car and the scenic shuttle bus back down the mountain. A more robust hike down to Nanyan is at least 3-4 hours. After getting off at the Nanyan scenic shuttle bus stop, you have to walk several hundred meters to the parking lot to catch the bus to the visitor center. Why can't you transfer there? It's unfriendly and I hope this will be improved.

Shaolin Temple is certainly worth a visit, boasting both its ancient religious architecture and the presence of its warrior monks, undisputed representatives of Chinese martial arts. It also boasts a wealth of intricate Buddhist rituals, paving the way for believers to a spiritual world.
Shaolin Temple was built by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty to house the eminent Indian monk Batuo. It was named for its location in the Shaoshi Mountain jungle. Thirty years after the temple's construction, Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, spent nine years facing a wall here, thus establishing Chinese Zen. During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang rewarded the temple with the title "Thirteen Monks Saving the Emperor of Tang," establishing its status as the "Number One Temple in the World." During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became a martial arts mecca. While most of the existing buildings are modern reconstructions, cultural relics such as the pagoda forest and steles are well-preserved. 1
