Popular attraction. Went there early in the morning, not too crowded. Rented an audio guide at the entrance, which provided automatic explanations, which was very convenient. The grottoes require a slow walk, allowing you to take in the scenery and experience it. It was quite impressive. The most spectacular scene, the Giant Buddha, was crowded. I didn't see all the other attractions, so if you have enough energy, you can spend the whole day there.
Today I visited the long-awaited Longmen Grottoes. The Vairocana Buddha was truly breathtaking, and the Bodhisattva statues were incredibly lifelike, with exquisitely crafted belts and accessories, truly the pinnacle of Tang Dynasty sculpture. I was also fortunate to have Teacher Xiao Bing explain the history of the Longmen Grottoes, covering Buddhism, aesthetics, and sculpture in great detail. She particularly covered the history of the Buddha statues, including their destruction and theft. She illustrated the caves and statues with photos, providing a deeper understanding. Teacher Xiao Bing's explanations are truly commendable, and she made full use of the time spent in line to provide insightful historical and cultural insights.

The experience of visiting the Qingming Shanghe Park this time was very good. Although it was a rainy day and there were many people, the scenic area prepared raincoats for us and also provided us with travel tips, which made it very convenient to play and our clothes did not get wet. There are many entertainment projects in the park and the performances are so many and wonderful that you can't see them all in one day. I will come again next time.
Tickets are valid for multiple use within three days. The park's picturesque scenery recreates the prosperity of the Song Dynasty capital. Numerous performances ensure a pleasant stay from morning to night. The park's food court offers a wide selection of dim sum, ensuring a delicious treat for everyone. Qingming Riverside Park caters to visitors of all ages, and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's fun to play, but there are so many people. I can't make an appointment for the Three Beats of Zhujiazhuang and the Big Iron Flower. I can't enter the mini program when the appointment time comes. The most unpleasant thing is that the price has increased during the National Day, but the time has become shorter. I bought a ticket in the afternoon of October 2nd, and it expires at 11:59 on October 3rd. It's different from the three-day free play mentioned on the Internet. I ran to the place on the 4th and found that I couldn't enter. I really don't recommend going there during the peak holiday
Wansui Mountain is well worth a visit. The ticket price is not expensive. The owner is smart. The ticket is 80 yuan on weekdays, and 97 yuan on National Day, including the Hanyuan Stele Forest and the City Wall Scenic Area. One ticket is good for three days on weekdays, but only one day on holidays. The design and theme of the scenic area are very good, and the experience is very good. The food inside is clean and hygienic, and not expensive. Ten soup dumplings are only 20 yuan. The program is very rich and the scenery is very good. It is worth recommending.

On the fifth day of the National Day holiday, my family and I experienced "Only Henan Drama Fantasy City," an immersive cultural tourism project in Zhongmou County, Zhengzhou, Henan, which was highly recommended by a colleague. From 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, we spent 12 hours watching one of the main shows, the Fantasy City Theater, and six smaller theaters. Overall, the themes, creative ideas, performances, on-site organization, light show, volunteer services, and food and beverage breaks were all well-planned. It was a high-quality theater experience, and I gained a deeper understanding of my hometown, Henan, and it was a very rewarding experience. To enhance the theater experience for everyone in the future, we have two suggestions for improvement: First, due to the high number of visitors during the National Day holiday, queues for nearly an hour were required for almost every show. For some shows, such as Red Temple School and Red Face, queues lasted for over two hours due to limited theater capacity, which significantly impacted the visitor experience. We suggest increasing theater capacity during holidays or scheduling two shifts of actors to perform shows with long wait times to improve turnaround time. Secondly, the theater is a crowded place, but there are almost no emergency exit lights or emergency evacuation indicators. Before each performance, there are no reminders or emphasis on emergency exits or how to evacuate in an emergency. If an abnormal situation occurs, it will seriously affect the evacuation effect and even cause a stampede. We strongly recommend that the location of emergency exits (lighting instructions) and emergency evacuation requirements be emphasized before the show, just as the theater's order is emphasized, to ensure safety! I hope "Only Henan Drama Fantasy City" will continue to improve, and I hope my hometown Henan will become better and better!
It was a truly wonderful experience! The numerous restrooms throughout the venue were particularly noteworthy, and they were easy to find. As a woman, this is incredibly challenging. Many restrooms in scenic areas are scattered, making it difficult to find one, and often small, leading to long lines. For the small theater, you typically have to wait an hour in advance to get a spot, and if you arrive half an hour early, you'll have to wait for the next show. Given the large crowds during National Day, this was to be expected. The main show I saw was the train station, which had a very novel arrangement, allowing you to follow the actors around, which was incredibly immersive. Personally, my favorites in the small theater were the Seventh Locomotive and Xue Huaiyi, respectively. These two left a lasting impression. Overall, it's one of the few places I'd want to visit again (I usually don't want to visit a site twice after seeing it once).

The Three Confucian Sites are a breathtaking cultural feast. A World Cultural Heritage site, it carries a millennium of Confucian culture. The towering architecture of the Confucius Temple, the exquisite residences of the Confucius Mansion, and the tranquility and serenity of the Confucius Forest all speak volumes of history. A stroll through these sites feels like a conversation with the sage, and one experiences the profound influence of Confucius's thought. The scenic area also incorporates intangible cultural heritage experiences and digital cultural tourism initiatives, revitalizing traditional culture. Whether you're a fan of ancient architecture or a cultural scholar, this is a truly enriching experience, making it a must-see cultural destination.
The Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple and Confucius Cemetery are all important witnesses to the development and inheritance of Chinese studies. Fortunately, I met a senior tour guide, Ms. Zhao, at the Confucius Temple. I benefited a lot from listening to her talk about the history of the Confucius Temple.

The serene landscape of the canyons makes one marvel at nature's uncanny handiwork.
This trip coincided with rain, and the mountaintops were shrouded in mist. While it was difficult to see anything, entering the canyon and observing the swirling clouds and mist offered a completely different kind of scenery.
Very satisfied, the tour guide explained the route very carefully and arranged the time very well. We gathered at 6:30 in the morning and arrived at the scenic spot at about 8:30. There was basically no queue. We returned at 15:30 in the afternoon and arrived at the meeting point in the morning at 17:30.

At the foot of Mount Shaoshi lies the world's first ancestral temple, Shaolin Zen Buddhism. At the entrance stands a 1,500-year-old ginkgo tree, its mottled trunk and unidentified pits, telling the story of Shaolin's ups and downs.
Shaolin Temple wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It was a bit commercialized, and the parking lot was unattended and full of people parking. There were only a few old trees in the temple, and most of the buildings were later. The pagoda was truly old.

It is worth a visit. It is a microcosm of the Song Dynasty culture. Whether it is teaching or government functions, it reveals the wisdom of the ancients, allowing future generations to better understand that unforgettable history!
The first time we took a small electric tricycle, we were cheated by a local Kaifeng man in his 50s. We took a taxi from the east gate of Wansui Mountain to Kaifeng Mansion, which cost 25 yuan. Then we were taken to Qingming Riverside Park and told to walk 500 meters. After we got off, we walked 500 meters and then asked, and we were told that we were taken in the wrong direction. The distance from Qingming Riverside Park to Kaifeng Mansion was still three or four kilometers. This is a complete bullying of outsiders. We took two small electric tricycles afterwards, and the owners had no problem. No matter how much money we paid, we shouldn't cheat outsiders who come to travel. The first impression of Kaifeng was greatly reduced because of a few individuals.

This was my second trip to Yuntaishan. My ticket included all the shuttles—not just the five-minute ones, but the ones that run throughout the entire route, taking visitors to various stops at the foot of the mountain.
The scenery was truly breathtaking. It rained the day before, but I was blown away by the sea of clouds the next day! The mystical and magical feeling of the cable car traversing the clouds was incredible!
Yuntaishan is quite famous, but the experience was pretty average. The pros: first, the air is quite nice, though the humidity is quite high; second, a single ticket is valid for three days; and third, buses are available to take you to various attractions. The cons are also quite significant. First, it's incredibly crowded; queues for just one waterfall can take two to three hours. The one-way street, with separate entrances for both the up and down routes, is poorly designed, and uneducated people often cut in line and block traffic. Second, many facilities require a secondary fee, which seems a bit high. Third, entrance requires facial recognition, and children without IDs are required to enter their ID number.
