Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Xinyang tea picking experience is a wonderful combination of in-depth Chinese traditional tea culture and nature. Xinyang, with a history of tea planting for more than 3,000 years, is famous for Xinyang Maojian, whose tea is emerald green and has an elegant aroma. Experience locations such as Wenxin Tea Village and Jigong Mountain Scenic Area provide a full range of experiences from visiting tea gardens to picking tea by hand, learning to stir-fry tea, and tea tasting exchanges. Spring, especially from Qingming to Guyu, is the best time to pick tea, when the quality of tea is excellent. In the tea garden, tourists can not only enjoy the magnificent scenery of the ten thousand mu tea garden, but also pick tea buds by hand under professional guidance, and learn and try the traditional hand-frying skills of Xinyang Maojian. Xinyang tea picking experience is not only an opportunity to get close to nature, but also a spiritual baptism, allowing people to feel the beauty and tranquility of life in the fragrance of tea.

A Hotel Worth Taking Your Kids To!!!

A Hotel Worth Taking Your Kids To!!!

Xinyang Hotel Review | Century Star (Near Railway Station Tianrun Plaza) Century Star Hotel (Xinyang Railway Station Tianrun Plaza Branch) Shihe District - 60 Xinhua East Road I booked the Zero Pressure King Room, which includes: Smart Control (Xiaodu Xiaodu) Refrigerator + 65-inch Screen Mirroring TV + Zero Pressure Bedding + Breakfast. Because there were no available rooms when I arrived, I was upgraded to a Tea Art King Room for FREE, which is the Zero Pressure King Room with an additional tea table (see picture). Location: Excellent, right across from the South Square of Xinyang Railway Station, in the same building as Ji Hotel, but at a better price and more intelligent. Call "Xiaodu" for full house smart control. The theme color of the entire room is bean green, which is very fresh and beautiful. There are bathrobes with fleece lining. The room's heating is very powerful, and the toilet is a three-part separation. The toilet is smart, and the toilet seat is warm. I stayed for two nights and basically didn't hear any noise.

Xinyang harbors a hidden water forest

Xinyang harbors a hidden water forest

Xinyang harbors a hidden water forest.|||As an outdoor enthusiast, I have a particular fondness for Xinyang's Borden Forest Park. I've visited multiple times, bringing my parents and friends from other places. This year, the mountain streams are not as strong, and the waterfalls and streams are smaller, which is a bit disappointing. However, the bald cypress forest remains unchanged, full of vitality, deeply rooted in the mountains. Starting on the trail, it doesn't take long to reach Ming Lake. This spot is especially picturesque, with the bald cypress forest in the water and the thatched cottages in the distance, evoking the atmosphere of the movie 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. Every time I come here, I end up staying too long at this spot, reluctant to leave. Once, I brought a close friend from Beijing, and she couldn't resist performing a set of Baduanjin exercises by the lake, saying that it would be a waste not to do so in such an environment. Another time, I brought my parents, and we set up a lightweight outdoor table and chairs by the lake to enjoy some tea. Having seen the summer and autumn here, I hope to catch Borden's snow and rain to experience a different kind of beauty! Parking fee is 20 yuan per car, entrance ticket is 45 yuan per person, and the ferry car costs 10 yuan per person for a one-way trip. Apart from the elderly and children, we should still hike up and down, after all, it's a free oxygen bar, a rare opportunity to cleanse our eyes and lungs!

Bronze Age love: The Marquis of Huang was a model husband!

Bronze Age love: The Marquis of Huang was a model husband!

Henan is an important cradle of Chinese civilization and the foundation of traditional Chinese rituals. Yu the Great, Tang of Shang, and the Duke of Zhou all established capitals and fiefdoms in Henan. The "Lady Huang" yan-shaped he was unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Huang and his wife in Guangshan County, Xinyang City. It dates back to the early Spring and Autumn period and is a water vessel shaped like a yan. It is believed to have been made by the Marquis of Huang for his wife, Lady Meng, and is similar to the curved-handle he of the Shu people in the Jianghuai region. The eastern border of the Shang dynasty was the Jiang (Zhumadian) and Huang (Xinyang) Rivers. The Marquis of Huang was once a viscount, and his fiefdom was in Huangchuan, Xinyang. There is evidence of intermarriage with the Zeng state, which was also of the Ji clan. The ancestors of the Huang state were the Huangyi, a branch of the Dongyi people of the Xia and Shang dynasties. They were later conquered by the Chu state and moved to the heartland of Chu. Huang Xie, the Lord Chunshen, was a descendant of the Huang state. Curved-handle he have been found in the border area of Henan, Anhui, and Hubei. Lady Huang was deeply loved by the Marquis of Huang and was buried with him in the same tomb. There were 169 burial objects in her coffin, including 22 exquisite bronze vessels and several modified ancient jades, all of which were of high artistic taste. The Marquis of Huang himself only had 14 bronze vessels, making him a model husband. Even with limited resources, he gave his wife the most and best treasures! Many of the vessels are inscribed with the words "Huangzi made this vessel for Lady Huang, to be treasured forever." "Lingdong linghou" means "to live a blessed life and die with honor, and for one's descendants to be safe and sound."
