The tour guide was very patient, and her explanations were interesting and insightful. The children learned a lot from her. It was an unforgettable trip and a beautiful encounter. I am grateful for the encounter!
I accompanied my children on a night hike up Mount Taishan. Born in the 1970s, I was determined to climb. Mount Taishan, the most important of the Five Great Mountains and a renowned cultural site, has a well-established night climbing service. During the summer, 40,000 to 60,000 people, young and old, flocked to the summit each day. We were never alone, and everyone was there to encourage each other. We reached the South Gate of Heaven in 4 hours and 50 minutes, a truly impressive feat. However, the summer was rainy, and fog thickened early in the morning, so we missed the sunrise, which was a shame. I felt there was room for improvement. First, most sections of the trail lacked nightlights, so I needed a flashlight throughout the entire hike. Second, the high number of visitors made the summit sanitary conditions poor. Third, the early morning Taishan management staff, shouting at visitors, was unfriendly.

Qingming Riverside Park is a place I'm particularly satisfied with. The shows are also very good. Although it was crowded and I couldn't see all the big performances, it was still worthwhile to go. There are also many restaurants and shops, so you can stop by to rest when you're tired or thirsty. The scenery at night is also very beautiful.
During the Qingming Festival, visiting the Qingming Shanghe Park in Kaifeng is like going back to the prosperous city life of the Song Dynasty and experiencing the smoke of the battlefield. This one-day journey through a thousand years is worth remembering.

It was a very interesting scenic spot, with the Peach Blossom Island's bride-stealing competition, Bruce Lee's one-on-one fight with the Axe Gang, and Wang Po's matchmaking.
Transportation: Shared electric bikes are parked across the street. Food is affordable: cold noodles/rice noodles are 10-15 yuan (portion size shown in Figure 4). Tips: The official WeChat account provides a route map, and the scenic area guide shows the start time of each performance and the program. The biggest challenge: unfamiliarity with the terrain and missing the performances.
Of particular note, reservations are required for the "Three Strikes at Zhujiazhuang" and "Iron Flower Show at the Sand Field" (tickets are very popular and sell out in a minute or two; those who get them have seat numbers). Children over 1.2 meters tall must make separate reservations (ticket check-in is on the second floor of Wangpo Island). Parents and children cannot reserve tickets together. Each reservation requires manual entry of name, ID number, and phone number, and separate reservations are far apart. The "Three Strikes at Zhujiazhuang" show at 5:30 PM was very sunny in all three zones (entry is available at 3:30 PM), especially in zones EF, where only the last 16/17 rows were exposed to the sun. Fortunately, the sky turned cloudy after the show started, but the performance was wonderful and the children enjoyed it.

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.
The overall experience was fantastic. I saw three main theaters in one day: Fantasy City, the Railway Station, and Lijia Village, as well as the small theater performances of Xue Huaiyi, The Emperor's Six Chariots, and Cao Cao's Wheat Field. The acting was fantastic! I felt so immersed in the story! I cried countless times. I appreciate the good fortune! Cherish the beautiful life we have now!

I didn't listen to the explanation, which was a bit of a pity. I must listen to the explanation next time I go there. We just walked around in a hurry. It was not until we arrived at the Confucius Temple that we learned that intrigue was originally a word for ancient architecture.
If you go, head directly to the Confucius Temple parking lot. Avoid the visitor center, which is for tour groups.
The Confucius Temple uses an electronic guide, which is very detailed and convenient. The Confucius Cemetery is a 20-yuan round-trip tour bus with a guide. The Confucius Temple itself is quite impressive. The Confucius Cemetery is the burial ground of the Kong family, primarily containing the tombs of Confucius, his sons, and grandsons. It's about 300-400 meters from the ticket gate. I personally think this is enough; there's no need to explore the entire area.

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.
I thought it was just a tourist attraction, but I didn't expect there to be so much going on, more than I saw at Shangheyuan. There were so many activities going on, and not many people around. It was definitely worth the trip.

The Han Tomb is quite large, and the burial objects inside are relatively complete and spectacular. There are also the Imperial Edict Museum and Dianshi Garden next to it. The big bell in Dianshi Garden is not fun at all (it’s super interesting, okay), and I only hit it about a dozen times 😗
The exploration and curiosity about the ancient tomb is a highlight. It is well preserved in all aspects. You can just stroll around the Dianshi Garden. The Imperial Edict Museum is relatively small, but the various imperial edicts are also quite eye-opening. Overall, it is worth a visit.

The islands are as unique and beautiful as pearls scattered across the vast blue sea. Strolling through this island chain, every step is filled with poetry and the distant horizon. (〃'▽'〃)
It is very convenient to use. You can get off at each stop to browse, but the route will be adjusted during holidays. It is recommended to consult the scenic spot in advance. The entire Liandao environment is beautiful and the water is very clear.

The Henan Museum is full of surprises: the saying "A History of Henan, Half of the History of China" is well-deserved; the tour guide Yang Hao's more than two-hour explanation is full of information, and I was amazed at his rich historical knowledge; the treasures of the museum are shocking; the drama, musical instrument performances and the Tang Palace Night Banquet VR are also worth seeing.
Teacher Chen's explanation is very thorough and detailed. He also interacts with the children in the middle. He is the best teacher I have ever met in a museum. Great!

The night scenery of Langya Ancient City is beautiful, and different areas have different performances. The Guoxiu Langya performance is quite good. You need to book one day in advance for an affordable ordinary ticket of 198. You can only get a VIP ticket of 298 on the same day. If you need to go there, you need to consider buying tickets in advance. If you don’t want to watch Guoxiu Langya, you can also watch ordinary performances in the scenic area. This is for your reference only.
A great show, be sure to buy VIP tickets. At the beginning of the second act, Spring and Autumn, a tall building rose in front of you, which was a very shocking scene. A wonderful show, thumbs up 👍
