This attraction truly exceeded my expectations. The storyline, the acting, the atmosphere, and the service were all excellent. The staff were incredibly patient. My only regret was that I didn't get to take photos of so many of the handsome men and beautiful women, but it was definitely worth it! I highly recommend the two-day ticket, which allows you to see all the plays you're interested in and avoid the hassles of waiting in line. Overall, it was truly fantastic. I'd love to go back again if I have the chance to see both the small and main theaters. My favorite plays were Xue Huaiyi, Red Face, and Auditorium of the Seventh Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works. The other plays were also excellent. If you want to see Red Temple School, you must schedule in advance. I went on a weekend, and the Red Temple School show was already full with about 50 minutes to go, which was a shame.
"Wheat, Wheat" 🌟🌟🌟🌟The pacing and lighting are incredibly well-controlled, with many eye-opening moments. The story's premise is also brilliant. From ancient times to the present, countless Li Shiyi have silently dedicated themselves to us.
"Xue Huaiyi" 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Must see! Must see! Must see! We watched it on xhs, and many people went for the lead actor's looks. The recommended best seats are also the ones closest to him. Sure enough, when he appeared, he was right in front of me, and the lights suddenly hit him. It really lit up, and he was so close to me.

Very, very, very good, perfect for taking children. There are many performances and the animals are well-maintained. The Ultraman part was too much for the kids to walk. We also watched fireworks and had a water fight at night. Highly recommended! Although Zhengzhou is very hot, it was nice to visit the animals inside the venue. There are many measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down. There are large fans spraying water mist in the queue. Great!
There are many kinds of animals and performances. Most of the rides are not exciting, which is very suitable for family outings. But try to arrive at 10 o'clock when the door opens, otherwise one day may not be enough. The staff is very enthusiastic, but many projects require a long queue. You can consider the express pass, which is not expensive.

The Jiahu bone flute expressed deep frustration.
Some parents, if you understand, explain it to your child. If not, either hire a guide or rent an audio guide, right? You claim you've already rented an audio guide, yet you're still interrupting, telling your child all sorts of backstory, unafraid of getting it wrong...
Visiting the Henan Provincial Museum, one of the museum's treasures is the Jiahu bone flute. A parent was talking to a child with an audio guide, saying, "Do you know what this is? It's a Qiang flute." Yes, you have a poem about that, right, 'Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze doesn't reach Yumen Pass.' Yes, sweet child, that's awesome!
If I were the Jiahu bone flute, I'd be shattered right there...
The Jiahu bone flute, crafted 8,000 years ago from the middle Neolithic period, is the oldest and best-preserved wind instrument discovered in my country to date.
The bone flute is 23.6 cm long and has seven tone holes drilled into its body. Made from the ulna (wing bone) of a red-crowned crane, it boasts a beautiful tone and a complete musical scale, capable of producing music that approximates a seven-tone scale. This proves that the bone flutes crafted by the Jiahu people over 8,000 years ago already possessed seven tones, earning it the nickname "China's First Flute."
Historians have commented that "Jiahu culture, represented by the Jiahu bone flute, marks the first step in humanity's transition from barbarism to civilization."
Qiang flute? Hum...
The Qiang flute is also an ancient Chinese folk instrument with a history of over 2,000 years. At this age, it would be considered a national treasure in most other countries, but it's still considered underappreciated in China. The Qiang flute is a single-reed wind instrument popular in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in northern Sichuan, where the Qiang people live. Its main differences from the bone flute are twofold: it is made of bamboo, and it has two tubes with multiple holes. Despite sharing a similar name, the Qiang flute is not the same instrument.
So parents who take their children to the museum, please remember the words of Confucius, "To know what you know and to know what you do not know is true knowledge."
I always choose to visit this museum with my kids during summer vacations to explore Henan's history and learn about its past and present. It's incredibly popular.
I personally think that even though admission is free, a guided tour is essential. Guide Huang had a tough time leading our group today. Despite the scorching summer heat, and the presence of elderly people, children, and latecomers, he still enthusiastically introduced us to Henan in great detail, allowing us to admire each of the museum's nine treasures and learn about their provenance and history.
It was a truly wonderful trip.

I decided to go there by chance. I bought my ticket online and it was easy to get in and check in. It looked like a place for locals to hang out. There weren't many outsiders.
Booking tickets for Zhengzhou Yellow River Cultural Park online was incredibly convenient! Using an electronic voucher for both adult and discount tickets allowed for expedited entry, saving me a ton of time. The park's scenery was stunning, the Yellow River's majestic majesty, and the cultural relics were truly impressive, allowing me to deeply experience the rich heritage of Yellow River culture. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the experience was fantastic. I'm determined to bring more friends to experience this unique attraction next time!

The aquarium has 8 floors. The marine animals are in good condition. Many animals react to tourists. There are also some animal feeding programs. There are several performances. The time to watch the performances is planned in advance. You can see each one. It is very exciting. The food and beverage prices in the venue are also reasonable. The children have a lot of fun.
I was a little hesitant before going because I was worried that there would be too many tourists during the holidays and that would affect the experience. In fact, it might be because there weren't many people during the week. I followed the online guide and played from top to bottom. The venue is a bit small but the performances are great. It's basically cool indoors, so it's suitable for bringing children to play!

The Dream Kingdom is quite fun. I highly recommend the Magic Castle, which I find the most interesting. The special effects are the same as the real thing. The car drives very fast and is very exciting. Wearing 3D glasses gives you a perfect experience, but it is not suitable for very young children, who may be scared. Flying over the Valley, the Pirate Ship, and the Qinling Adventure are also OK. The gift shop highly recommends the Yixing Bottle, which is next to the Magic Castle, right when you come out. It has very nice glass bottle ornaments, which are particularly dreamy and the price is acceptable. There are big and small ones, all of which are very nice. The clerks will also pack them very tightly, so the bottles won't get bumped. There is a store that sells raw stone specimen bottles, probably in the Qinling Adventure area. They don't pack them after you buy them. I put them in my bag, and one of the bottles broke into a small piece. I was speechless.
It was so much fun. I had a very happy Children's Day. Fantawild Park is very cost-effective. I came here from a long distance with a nervous heart, but it was so worthwhile. I will come here again next time. It's great. The performances in the park are wonderful.

Overall it's good, but there are a lot of people on Sundays. It's not expensive, but the food inside is expensive. You can make a plan in advance. The door will check the things that are not allowed to be brought. When I was queuing for bumper cars, I encountered unpleasantness. When there was a substitute queue, we were standing in that row with adults and children. There was a person in front of me who came to the front of the queue and carried a few children to the front. He told the staff that the children were in line and wanted the adults to go in and play with the children. Then the staff let them go in from the exit to play. I don't understand why it was written at the queue entrance that it was not allowed to be replaced. The scheduled performances are pretty good. Overall it's pretty good. Everyone had a lot of fun.
It is a little late to enter the park at 10 o'clock. It is recommended to open the park earlier during statutory holidays. After entering, it is full of dazzling things and very dreamy. Children and adults have a lot of fun, especially the snowing part is very good. The penguin house is also very good. The ice slide is refreshing, and there are ice sculptures and lights to check in and take pictures. It is suitable for a half-day trip.

Everything is fine, except that it is too hot. I sweat constantly and almost died. One day, I have to go back. This house is worthy of its million-dollar value. The officials are kind and the family tradition has continued for more than 500 years, and the achievements are magnificent.
The scenic area is located on the banks of the Yiluo River and features a unique architectural complex. Parking is convenient. The site showcases the entrepreneurial achievements of over a dozen generations of people from the Ming and Qing dynasties, a series of business experiences, and a classic interpretation of the relationship between scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans. It's a must-see. Summer is not recommended, as it's too hot. Although there are cooling showers within the area, the heat can still be unbearable.
