Things to do in Gongyi

Very good. Worth seeing. The ticket price of 50 yuan is reasonable. The brick and wood carvings are exquisite, and the houses tell many stories, spanning the Ming, Qing, and Republican periods. There are many makeshift parking spots along the roadside, used for soliciting passengers; hopefully, this will be addressed.

I'd give it a perfect score of 10. Fewer crowds, and the grottoes are incredibly impressive, brimming with historical and cultural atmosphere. You can see them up close, and in my opinion, the experience is even better than the Longmen Grottoes. Highly recommended!

With boundless respect and anticipation, we brought our children to trace the footsteps of Du Fu, one of the greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty, a man deeply concerned about his country and its people. The entire former residence reflects Du Fu's life: simple, almost to the extreme, devoid of any extravagance or superfluity. Perhaps due to the relatively low number of visitors, there weren't enough funds for renovations. This aligns with Du Fu's character and destiny throughout his life.

I really loved the presentación, and the walk to the Chuz temple is definitely worth it if you want to avoid the crowds of the main shaoling temple. And i recommend to be at least 20 min before the show starts to find a good spot

I visited Henan in October and went to Songyang Academy in Dengfeng, one of the four great academies in China, with a profound historical and cultural heritage! Mount Song, the central peak of the Five Sacred Mountains, was a bit strenuous to climb, with over 5,000 steps. But the scenery was truly beautiful.

The young tour guide was very responsible and knowledgeable about history. Later, I took her directly to the grotto temple, where she talked to me for almost two hours about it. It was truly heartwarming to have people who love local culture sharing their local culture and history.

When I came to Changshou Mountain Scenic Area, I was refreshed by the red leaves all over the mountain. Being in the red leaves, it was really a different scene with every step. In particular, you can take a helicopter tour of the scenic area, which was very shocking. The children had a lot of fun.

I'm someone who never leaves reviews, but this time I have to give it a strong one. This experience was truly amazing! The facilities were beautifully designed, and the house was very comfortable, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, plenty of hot water, and no clogged drains. Even during a windy night, the cabin remained stable and quiet. The service was excellent; the staff was incredibly attentive from start to finish. They turned on the air conditioning before we arrived, and had our meals prepared in advance. Even after a long day, she still stood and chatted with us. The rooms were clean, hygienic, and bright. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend the chicken soup; ordering a day in advance allows them to have it freshly killed! I was blown away!! It wasn't fishy at all, and the chicken was plump and juicy. There was one minor incident: we encountered two unreasonable customers who kept causing trouble for the shop, demanding only a refund. I overheard them threatening to report us to the police and leave a bad review. I want to strongly condemn these kinds of unscrupulous customers and tell everyone not to believe their negative reviews!! 🙅 I will definitely bring my family and friends back~
