We hired a guide and listened carefully to his explanations; otherwise, looking at a bunch of big rocks, I felt completely lost, like the rocks were looking at me and I was looking at the rocks. Through the guide, I learned some previously unknown history, followed the guide on a tour, and then played around on my own for a while. It was great!
Really interesting, carvings everywhere (approx 100,000 total!). It was busy in places, but the crowds move on if patient. Definitely worth seeing!

Due to time constraints, we opted to take the cable car up the mountain. After taking the scenic bus, we had to walk a little further before scanning a QR code to buy tickets. The queue was quick, taking only a few minutes. Each cabin seats a maximum of 8 people, and we reached the vicinity of Nantianmen in less than 20 minutes. The ride was also quite smooth.
The upward cable car ride was thrilling; you could feel it clearly. One of my companions turned pale with fright and even felt a bit nauseous. The first section offered panoramic views of the mountains, while the second section was shrouded in mist and clouds. It was a great experience, just a bit pricey.

I went during the Spring Festival. It was incredibly cold and crowded. It was freezing while queuing for the show, and the crowds diminished the overall experience. However, the park was beautiful, and there were quite a few shows. Some of the actors' performances were very immersive, while others felt artificial.
This park is definitely worth a visit in Kaifeng. It's a national 5A-level scenic spot with many shows, complete facilities, and excellent service. The "Tokyo Dream" performance was particularly amazing. Highly recommended!

I bought a three-day pass in one day and was so tired my legs cramped. The city has more cultural elements than natural scenery, reflecting a market-driven approach. Traffic is congested, and private electric scooters are everywhere offering rides, which is unsafe, unregulated, and leads to exorbitant prices and misleading explanations. I hope this can be addressed.
This was my second time visiting Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City. I really enjoyed all the performances and would definitely go again if I had the chance. I used my ticket to visit both the Martial Arts City and the Iron Pagoda Park. My only complaint was that I couldn't get a reservation for the "Three Attacks on the Zhu Family Village" performance, even though I booked it right on time.

It is a scenic spot worth visiting. The immersive feeling is very strong. It is strongly recommended to watch all three main theaters. We only had enough time to watch one theater at the train station, which was a bit regrettable.
I rarely go to theater performances, so I decided to go in and see it, even though I wasn't too bothered. I was instantly hooked. The simple architecture, the variety of performances, and the attentive service made it a truly comfortable experience.

The Taihang Mountains combine tranquility, danger, and fun. Especially after the rain, the clouds in the mountains are ever-changing, with the clouds being white, the sky blue, the mountains green, and the cliffs precipitous, making people marvel at the wonders of nature.
I visited the Taihang Grand Canyon Baquanxia Scenic Area in Changzhi, Shanxi Province. I bought a full package of transportation (Route A) on Ctrip, which included round-trip bus fare, elevator, cable car, and boat ride. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, and I was so happy!

The ginkgo leaves, turning yellow, enhanced the beauty of the Confucius Temple, a cultural landmark. We visited on the Double Ninth Festival, and there were activities commemorating Confucius. It's a place well worth visiting for those of us deeply influenced by Confucian culture. There's no need to take the electric cart in the Confucius Forest; there's not much to see inside. The sage's tomb is not far from the main entrance; you can walk in.
We visited the Three Confucius Sites and introduced our child to Confucianism. Since our child was interested in this area, we hired Guide Yan. Her explanations were detailed and engaging, and our child was completely captivated. Her service was excellent; our child had a slight cold at the time, and Guide Yan took care of him throughout the trip. I was so touched I almost cried! 🤧 Guide Yan is a truly dedicated and wonderful tour guide. Thumbs up for Guide Yan! 🥰

Love the scenery, just abit disappointing we couldn’t spot any Shaolin around the area , wish we could encounter more of them doing some daily routine around temples or practice Kung Fu in the area more
This world-renowned temple is the birthplace of both Zen Buddhism and Shaolin Kung Fu. It boasts the Shaolin Pagoda Forest, the largest ancient pagoda complex, and the Chuzu Temple, where the Buddhist founder Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years. It's well worth a visit, especially with Shaolin martial arts performances. The ginkgo trees complement the temple perfectly, and a visit in autumn is especially beneficial.

The Kaifeng Prefecture Scenic Area is a reconstruction of the former "capital of the land" during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Kaifeng Prefecture served as the administrative and judicial center of the capital. Bao Zheng implemented direct litigation reforms here, setting a precedent for clean governance. The original site was destroyed by Yellow River floods, and the modern scenic area is a replica of the ancient buildings rebuilt after 2000. While not a historical relic, it preserves the spirit of the Northern Song Dynasty government through cultural reproduction. The scenic area faces the Bao Zheng Temple across the lake, creating a "prefecture in the east, temple in the west" layout. It is a National 4A-level tourist attraction.
Kaifeng Mansion in Kaifeng City, Henan Province is very worth visiting. The opening ceremony of the city gate at 9:00 am is great. The performance of Bao Gong ascending to the court and chopping off the beauty at 9:30 am is very good. There are many places to visit and it is worth a visit.

Guishan Han Tomb is a landmark of Xuzhou. Professional guides lead the way, explaining as they go, making the dry history come alive. The guides' explanations are thorough and their voices are clear. They also remind visitors to watch their step when the ground is uneven, making the trip worthwhile.
One of the more representative local attractions.
One ticket grants entry to three museums.
Be sure to check the date when purchasing your ticket.
There are several cultural and creative venues with good value.
The scenery outside the museum is also beautiful.
