There are no sightseeing buses in this scenic area, which is inconvenient for elderly people with mobility issues. This should be improved, as there's quite a lot of walking involved. Overall, it's alright, but definitely go during the off-season; it gets too crowded during peak season.

"Tokyo Dreamland" is definitely worth seeing. The beginning and ending echo each other well. The entire park is meticulously detailed, with hot water available, and the restrooms are spotless no matter where you are. The chrysanthemum decorations are beautiful, and there are many rides. Every step reveals a new scene, and there's time for visitors to reflect. The music is also carefully chosen. I would definitely go again.

It was beautiful. I tried both the first and second cable car lines, but unfortunately the elevator was closed. The scenery of the Ten-Mile Painting Screen was stunning, but there were also many people. In the end, the mountain was so crowded that it became a "traffic jam" (a term used to describe a large number of people stuck on a mountain).

A trip to Kaifeng is incomplete without a visit; even after two days, I still wanted more. The variety of performances was dazzling, ranging from traditional arts to modern song and dance, martial arts to fantasy, and even ballet. On the last day, I went to the Iron Pagoda Park without much expectation, but the quest system there was a pleasant surprise. My legs ached from running around for so long!

Today's visit to "Only Henan: A City of Theatrical Fantasy" deeply moved me. In the grand narrative of *The Railway Station Theater*, I witnessed a poignant and intense brotherly bond—Li Shiyi, the elder brother of Li Shiba, harboring an almost tragic tolerance and boundless love for his brother. The horrors of the 1942 Henan famine were reenacted on stage, the desperate scene of starving people scrambling for food was suffocating. When Li Shiyi, desperately seeking some life-saving seeds from his brother, the stationmaster, learned that the price would be his brother's life, his world crumbled instantly. Ultimately, Li Shiba opened the granary to distribute the grain, sacrificing himself in the process. Li Shiyi's madness and breakdown upon learning all this vividly portrayed the struggle of humanity under extreme circumstances. The smaller theater production *Wheat, Oh Wheat* depicts the resilient landscape of the people of Henan, who have depended on the land for thousands of years. Those simple and hardworking farmers, dedicating their lives to the wheat fields, saw wheat not only as food but also as their roots and soul. With the southward advance of the Jin army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Henan was forever cut off from the dynastic capital, a historical turning point tinged with desolation and regret. Another short play, "Su Shi's Henan," succinctly portrays the tumultuous life of the literary giant Su Shi in just thirty minutes. From his initial fame through the imperial examinations, to his repeated demotions and fluctuating fortunes, until his eventual pardon but failure to return to the capital Bianjing, where he died and was buried in Henan, his poetry is filled with a magnanimous outlook on life and an optimistic view of hardship. Yet, isn't this also a kind of spiritual transcendence under the pressure of reality? Behind that "forced magnanimity" lies a profound undercurrent of unfulfilled ambition throughout his life. This trip was not merely a theatrical experience, but a profound dialogue with the land, history, and the depths of human nature.

The welcoming ceremony at 9 a.m. was spectacular. The staff were all very dedicated and professional, no less than professional actors. Every tone of voice, every step and sway perfectly captured the ancient style. The performances inside the mansion, such as Bao Zheng's trial of Qin Xianglian accusing Chen Shimei and the Crown Prince's welcoming ceremony, were all excellent.

Jiaozuo Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area: Visit the summit of Yuntai Mountain, Zhuyu Peak (1297 meters above sea level), the origin of the saying "Where there are dogwood branches, one less person"; check out the glass walkway at Phoenix Ridge (haha, it's really not scary at all); visit Xiaozhaigou, and explore Tanpu Gorge, Longevity Peach Stone, Golden Dragon Lying on the Waves, Immortal Spring, and Tang King's Sword Testing Stone, etc.

We took our child on an educational trip and found our lovely tour guide, Xiaoya, for a VIP museum tour. Xiaoya was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. Her explanations were insightful yet simple, engaging, and captivating. Our child followed her for the entire 3 hours – a truly delightful surprise! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Our visit to the Henan Museum was exceptionally enriching, far exceeding our expectations, thanks to the professional explanations of our guide, Yue Liang. Her profound understanding of the historical background and cultural value of the museum's artifacts was remarkable. From the decorative motifs of Shang and Zhou bronze ritual vessels to the firing techniques of Tang and Song ceramics, her explanations were logically clear and well-balanced, always managing to bring the stories behind the static exhibits to life with vivid language. It was her professionalism and enthusiasm that allowed us to deeply appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the Central Plains, adding many unforgettable moments to our museum visit. She deserves high praise and recognition!

The hotel is conveniently located, within walking distance of Yingtianmen, Lijingmen, and Jiuzhouchi, and is also a pick-up point for day trips around Luoyang. The rooms were very clean, the service was excellent, and a complimentary gift was given upon check-out.
