Zhengzhou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Fast Hands and Still Hearts: Shaolin Temple

#2023TravelWish #henanprovince #china By now, everyone should know of the famous KungFu shows of the Shaolin Monks, but what impressed me most when visiting was not the martial arts (although that was thrilling) but rather the beautiful architecture, history and peace of the place. Admittedly, we made the trip off season, so there were not as many tourists, but even so, the quiet of the place stood out. Watch out for my favourite part not featured here, the ancient tree with hundred bear old finger holes used by decades of monks for practice!

Feels Like I’m Inside a KungFu Movie 🎥

The moment you enter DengFeng town, you’ll notice a never ending rows of KungFu Schools. Yes, right, hundreds if not thousands of people from children to teenagers to adults are here to learn the very martial arts we know only from movies on our childhoods. So obviously, you’ll need to visit the iconic Shaolin Temple, too!! This Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Wuru Peak of the Songshan mountain range in Dengfeng County, Henan Province, China. Watch my clip and you’ll see just a very tiny piece of performance by some of the students there and it was really impressive to see them up close (and mot through TV Screen!). If you’d also like to learn some basic movements, check it out with local tours and guides out there. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #china

Peak Forest Wonderland - Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon

In Zhengzhou!! Peak Forest Wonderland, a ten-mile picture screen. Today's Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon is lush with greenery and clear waters, and the flow of people is manageable, not as crowded as imagined. Departing from Zhengzhou at 8:30 am, the road conditions are good, the latter half of the journey on mountain roads is slower, with a total travel time of 2h. Navigation to the Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon parking lot allows you to drive directly to the ticket checkpoint. Tickets are 60 (58 on the platform), and parking is 10 yuan. At the ticket checkpoint, each lady is given a paper fan, which is quite pretty. Walking along the stream upwards, enjoying the mountains and waters, it's neither sunny nor hot. There are a few steep steps, but taking breaks makes it not too tiring, and a three-year-old child can walk the entire route in 3 and a half hours without being carried much. If you get too tired halfway, you can turn back at the largest waterfall, as the water flow is not as strong beyond that point, and the scenery becomes more repetitive. (Going down to the platform of the big waterfall to take photos is very impressive!) The scenic area is not a loop, the entrance and exit are not at the same place, and the exit back to the parking lot is 4 kilometers away, requiring a sightseeing bus, with tickets needed for anyone over 1.2m at 10 yuan per person. There are some simple meals available in the parking lot, and only two snack stalls inside the scenic area, so it's best to bring some food if you arrive early in the morning. There are many farmhouses on the drive up the mountain, where you can also have lunch before visiting. Do not take Longxi Road on the return trip, as the exit from the parking lot is a sharp turn, with many cars parked haphazardly on the roadside, causing a ten-minute delay to turn around. The road beyond is also very narrow, making passing other vehicles difficult, with the need to stick to the very edge and fold in the rearview mirrors to get by, making the first half of the return journey quite strenuous.

It is said that the scenery at the doorstep is not a scene, and it is rare to visit the scenic spots in Henan. When the effort of the accelerator is coming to Fuxi Mountain, I feel that the landscape here and the landscape are worthy of more people to discover. Stepping up the stairs, the rain after the rain belongs to the coolness of the mountains, and such mountains and rivers also fall into our memory...

The Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon is 5 kilometers long. It runs along the water, the waterfall continues, and the landscape is step by step. There are also Fuxi Pavilion and Fuxi Lake. The natural landscape is very beautiful.

The roses in the Rose Garden of Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon in Henan are in full bloom. Tomorrow is 520. Bring your loved ones here to enjoy the flowers! The 100-acre rose in the rose garden floats ten miles. The fragrance of this rose is the taste of the roses we usually eat, especially good. Rose Garden has also set up a lot of online language for people who come here to play, cute Tigger, cute pigs and so on. The girl who wants to take pictures must not miss it. The photo taken in the rose garden is destined to be a red photo. When I went, there was a fog in the mountains, just like entering a fairyland. The roses with dewdrops in the scent exude a charming fragrance. There are also many beautiful rose flowers around the rose garden. The roses of various colors are just a sea of flowers. A pair of lovers holding hands in this romantic rose sea, the goddesses are filled with happy smiles, I am really envious! The Fuqi Mountain Grand Canyon is a two-hour drive from Zhengzhou City, and it is very convenient to navigate the past.

Only in Henan•Drama Fantasy City—Experience the unique charm of theatrical culture

Only Henan·Drama Fantasy City is China's first panoramic immersive drama theme park. Stepping into the Fantasy City is like traveling through an ancient and mysterious time and space, touching the thickness and exquisiteness of Chinese civilization. 1. Exquisite Architecture As soon as I entered the scenic area, I was attracted by the unique architectural style and atmosphere here. Every corner of the scenic area is carefully designed, integrating elements of Henan's historical culture, making one feel as if they are in a huge theater. The architecture here is not just a background, but also a part of the story. 2. Theatrical Enjoyment Henan is divided into three major theaters 'Comedy Fantasy City', 'Train Station', and 'Li Family Village', and eighteen small theaters. The most astonishing is undoubtedly the performances in the theaters. Each performance integrates elements of modern technology and traditional drama, bringing a shocking audio-visual experience. It perfectly combines sound, light, electricity, and water to reproduce the historical changes of Henan over thousands of years. From the glory of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties to the prosperity of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, each historical segment unfolds vividly before your eyes, as if returning to that glorious era. During the process of watching the plays, the exquisite performances of the actors deeply immersed me. Their movements, expressions, and lines are full of vitality, as if I had also become a part of the characters in the play. Especially when the waters of the Yellow River surged down from the stage, the shocking visual effect and the surging sense of history made one's heart swell with emotion. 3. Rich Experience In addition to theatrical performances, there are also a wealth of interactive experience projects within the Fantasy City. You can participate in ancient handicraft making, experience the fun of pottery; or stroll through the ancient streets, taste traditional snacks, and feel the strong local atmosphere. 4. Profound Feelings Henan·Drama Fantasy City is not only a feast for the eyes and ears but also a purification of the soul. Here, I deeply felt the profoundness of Chinese culture and was deeply impressed by the history and culture of the land of Henan. When leaving, my heart was filled with reverence and love for the ancient civilization, and this travel experience is undoubtedly the most precious memory of my journey.

Henan's Drama Fantasy City is a treasure trove of drama worth revisiting multiple times!

🚄During the May Day holiday, I took a trip to Henan. In Zhengzhou, our destination was clear: we headed straight for the Drama Fantasy City located in Zhongmu County. 🏘️The Drama Fantasy City has a total of 21 theaters and 56 scenic spaces. We spent a whole day there, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and only managed to see half of the theaters, leaving some suspense for next time. 🎫【Tickets】 Make sure to choose your tickets in advance, with a 'one person, one seat' limit for 3 main plays 1-day regular ticket: 1 main play + small plays in the park 2-day pass: 3 main plays + small plays in the park, unlimited entry within 2 days 🕐【Hours】 Normal business hours are 10:00-21:00 (9:00-22:00 on holidays), with free luggage storage available. 📽️Three major theaters: Train Station, Li's Village, and Fantasy City. Try to see as much as you can. If you only have a one-day ticket, I recommend Li's Village or Fantasy City. ✅Recommended must-see small theaters: 1️⃣Emperor's Carriage Six: Gather around the archaeological pit-shaped stage, watch the time-travel dialogue between modern people and the Zhou king up close, and feel the impact of civilization. 2️⃣Waiting Hall: A novel marching-style stage design, classic stories stemming from a few items. 3️⃣The Seventh Locomotive Factory: Time-travel through several eras of railway people, very immersive. 4️⃣Submerged Years: Not sure what it wants to express, not even the director knows, purely a brilliant light show. 5️⃣Zhang Family Courtyard, outdoor, no need to queue, starts at night, a very exciting drama about family and country. 🍛Eat: The Wheat Wave Restaurant in the scenic area offers many branded chain dining options, with conscientious pricing, not expensive, no need to bring your own dry food haha.

The super photogenic spot is none other than Henan Drama Fantasy City

⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: Near Ping'an Avenue, Dameng Town, Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou City 🚗Traffic strategy: Best to drive yourself 🕙Opening hours: From 9 or 10 am to 10 pm (holidays) 💰Ticket price: Adults 290 yuan for a one-day ticket, including one main theater and 18 small theaters, free for children under one meter. 🌟Highlights: 1.

Both large and small theaters are very attractive, each with its own characteristics, especially the Li Family Village and the Train Station theaters, immersive theaters, where you can feel like you're part of the scene; 3. There is a rich variety of food, many delicious options, though the prices are a bit expensive. 📌Little Tips: Follow the park's official WeChat account in advance to check the opening hours for the day, take a look at the day's program schedule, there are also paper navigation maps inside the scenic area, pets must be checked in at the tourist service center, no lighters allowed, there are smoking areas inside the park, many theaters especially during holidays require lining up 30 minutes to 1 hour in advance, if you don't time it right you won't see anything, so plan your time wisely. Zhang Family Courtyard, I Am Henanese, Overturned Book Field, Qiankun Stage are all evening theaters.

Listen to advice! Don't go to 'Only in Henan' for just one day

'Only in Henan·Drama Fantasy City' has a total of 21 theaters of various sizes, which can accommodate nearly ten thousand people at the same time. It is currently one of the largest drama settlements in China with the longest performance duration. It's impossible to visit all in one day, as many theaters require time to digest their content. Plan for a two-day visit if you want to explore thoroughly. If you're selective about what you see, then it doesn't matter. This is also the crowning work of director Wang Chaoge's 'Only' series. The 'Fantasy City' composed of 56 squares, 'Only in Henan·Drama Fantasy City', aims not just for a round of applause, but to deliver a soul-stirring shock of Central Plains culture and Yellow River civilization. Inside Henan Fantasy City, there are a hundred acres of farmland, with golden wheat waves rolling in the first half of the year and fiery red sorghum ears swaying in the second half; there is a rammed earth wall 328 meters long and 15 meters high, which is spectacular; the loess-colored wall seems to be pushed open by a 'narrow' gap, revealing the stories within to visitors; inside the wall, there are 56 squares, waiting to be unveiled like blind boxes. Each visitor may choose a different path, and the experience they get will also be different. This uncertainty brings a sense of novelty and excitement, which is the psychological basis for the popularity of blind boxes nowadays. It stimulates the urge in consumers to revisit and deeply unlock.
