It's really worth a visit. Tickets are free for those over 60 years old, but I think you must rent a guide. Otherwise, it's just a quick tour, and it's easy to walk 12,000 steps.
Although there were many people visiting, the tour guide gave us a very detailed introduction and attentively guided us on how to take the bus out. Generally speaking, it was just paying for the culture. The price was not affordable, but I learned a lot of knowledge!

This is a must-see place in your lifetime! The scenery here is on the back of the 50-yuan RMB bill! As a Chinese, you must come and see the majestic and surging Yellow River in your lifetime!
The Yellow River Highway is quite narrow, with only one lane each way. During holidays, traffic jams can be quite common. Fortunately, the sightseeing was quick, and the evacuation was quick. The parking lot was also easy to enter and exit.
The Yellow River is quite large, and the scenery is quite spectacular and imposing.

Kaifeng's theme parks include Wansui Mountain and Qingming Riverside Park. I was there during the Qingming Festival holiday, and tickets to Wansui Mountain were completely unavailable, so I went to Qingming Riverside Park instead. The experience was also fantastic, especially the night view. There was a paid performance, but honestly, it was average. The park does have many free performances, which really made the whole experience more enjoyable. Overall, it's a good experience and worth a visit.
Kaifeng, the ancient capital of eight dynasties, boasts a large-scale Song Dynasty historical and cultural theme park, the Qingming Shanghe Park, a 1:1 replica of the classic Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Its grand scale, rich cultural heritage, unique ancient entertainment facilities, and innovative performances make the park both engaging and enjoyable, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Kaifeng. The park also coincides with the chrysanthemum exhibition, offering visitors a chance to admire the enchanting blossoms.

If you want to go to Shanxi, you must go to the Jin Temple Museum. The three treasures, three wonders and three plaques inside are very worth checking in and learning. It is not recommended to go alone. It is best to find a tour guide to explain and understand the rich history and the craftsmanship of the predecessors.
The Jin Temple is so huge. The Jin Temple Park alone is very large, and the Jin Temple Museum also has many attractions. After a day of strolling around, it is definitely worth coming to the Jin Temple in Shanxi. The ancient buildings are particularly beautiful and the scenery is picturesque. In autumn, the leaves are all yellow, and I finally understand what it means to be breathtakingly beautiful.

I went early this morning, and the fog was quite thick and the crowds were relatively few. I enjoyed a leisurely tour of Laojun Mountain. I bought a round-trip ticket for the Yunjing Class 1 cable car, which saved me time climbing. The staff were diligent and got up early. I boarded the cable car at 7:20 and arrived at Zhongtianmen at 7:30. The ride was very smooth, both up and down, and the noise level was quite good. 👍🏻 I walked through the Fairyland Tunnel, saw the Ten Miles of Cloud Sea, and visited the Five Treasures Hall. I exited the scenic area at 11:03. Are those three golden halls really made of gold? They look so rich. They don't accept foreign guests, so why are the signs in foreign languages? They say it's a 5A requirement, so you don't have to use them, but they're required. I'm confused.
The scenery is nice, but you have to go in the off-season to avoid the long lines for the cable car. From the time we ascended the mountain at 1:00 PM to the time we descended at around 4:00 PM, there was hardly any line. Just walking through Shili Huaping took over an hour. Also, the elevator to the last section was out of order when we arrived, so we had to struggle to get up. But at least we made it to the Golden Summit, which is a good thing.

Shuanglin Temple is worth it! The clay sculptures are very shocking. It's very dark inside. 🚫 I used a flash to take pictures, but in fact, the mobile phone camera can also take clear pictures without flash. It's very beautiful. I hope everyone can abide by it and protect precious cultural relics and artworks. I encountered some uncultured people who used flash to take pictures and deliberately used flashlights to watch. It was really sad.
The old town is cleaner than before, and there aren't many people visiting now, which makes for a great experience. The stories of the banks and escort agencies are fascinating. The food is quite similar, but you can always find a place you like.

Located on the ruins of Mount Genyue in Kaifeng during the Northern Song Dynasty, Wansuishan Wuxia City, steeped in martial arts culture and steeped in Song Dynasty charm, is a prime example of immersive cultural tourism. NPCs in period costumes roam the streets of Jianghu, a street clad in grey bricks and tiles. Realistic buildings like escort agencies and liquor stores recreate the urban life of the Song Dynasty. A casual game of pitching pots immerses you in the world of Jianghu. The core attraction lies in the performances. Over 3,000 performances are held daily. "Three Strikes on Zhujiazhuang" features breathtaking artillery sieges and wire-drafting stunts, "Yue Fei Challenges the Young Prince of Liang" features a live horse performance accompanied by the scent of gunpowder, and "Wu Song Drunkenly Defeats Jiang Menshen" offers a truly engaging and engaging experience. The scenery becomes even more stunning at night, with lanterns framing the ancient streets and 1,600°C ironwork blooming like golden flowers. Nightly lantern parades and dragon and lion dances evoke a sense of the Jianghu atmosphere. Affordable dining options make this a great getaway.
I like the scene and the performance is also very good. I really recommend the Three Beats of Zhujiazhuang and the Iron Flower Show (you need to make an appointment on the mini program after entering the park). The snacks are affordable and cost-effective. It is a rare experience.

There were too many people and cars, which was not a good feeling. The car could not enter the parking lot and had to park on the roadside. The hanging sculptures in the Xiaoxitian Hall were very impressive, but the crowds squeezed out after a few minutes. As a scenic spot that requires climbing up and down, it would be better if the slope of the stairs could be improved.
We arrived at the attraction just before 5 p.m., but the parking lot at the entrance was still closed. We had to circle around and park at another lot 500 meters away. By the time we reached the scenic area, security was beginning to remove the barrier. A complete miss. The entrance gate was once again a series of serpentine barriers, regardless of the number of visitors. Then there were endless steps to climb. But seeing the stunning colorful sculptures filling the hall made all the hard work worthwhile.

The Yellow River's waters descend from the sky, their mist reflecting in the sunlight like arc-shaped rainbows, a striking contrast to the turbid, rushing current. The relentless rush of the Yellow River carves out a smooth rock bed. Suddenly, the melody of "Yellow River Cantata" rang in my ears, blending perfectly with the roar of the waterfall. As I left, I looked back to see the waterfall still roaring, a sound that, through millennia, remains the most powerful hymn of life on this land.
The ticket price is worth it. I took my children to watch it. It mainly tells the story of how the children along the Yellow River defended their country during the Anti-Japanese War. The plot is very touching. I also like watching it. It feels great to watch it by the Yellow River. There are also gunshots. The actors are very dedicated.

It's a great attraction, with a large area and many performances. If you want to see all the performances relatively leisurely, you need three days. One day is simply not enough to see them all. You must make a good plan. There are 21 theaters of various sizes. Research the time of each performance in advance. We saw 8 performances from morning to night, which basically left no time for leisurely strolling.
It's great, it's very good. Go see any show you want, don't try to fill it up with a travel guide! Because I didn't follow my own plan at all, and it was hard to find the way. I suggest you use the navigation to find the theater, because at first I didn't use the map and couldn't find it at all.
