Henan, Zhengzhou Erqi Square~Dehua Pedestrian Street~People's Park~Daguanyin Temple~Financial Island~Longhu Park~Petrochemical Plant~Beach Street I visited Zhengzhou a few years ago, and at that time, I confused Shanghai with Shanghai South. I ran wildly at the train station and barely caught the train to Zhengzhou in the last few seconds, panting and coughing, while the people around me looked at me warily and pulled up their masks. I originally planned to visit again another time, but I woke up to a good weather forecast this morning, changed my ticket, and went for a walk. The strong wind was quite disorienting. Erqi Square and Dehua Pedestrian Street were also crowded with a super number of young boys and girls. I took a walk in People's Park, visited Daguanyin Temple to pray, and wanted to see places I hadn't been before. The weather was so good, I was really happy. The corn building I saw last time is different from the one in Ningbo. This time I chose Financial Island, basking in the sun and taking a leisurely walk on the small island surrounded by lake water was incredibly relaxing. There were also some interesting shops, including a special record coffee shop. From the north to the south of Financial Island, I accidentally entered an uninhabited lakeside area where construction was underway and I couldn't get close, so I could only admire the stunning blue from the bridge. I ran out of time and missed the experience of taking the island's bus. I came to Longhu Park to find that lonely tree, but I didn't find it. A sense of direction is a superpower I can't beg for. It was the same when I went to the Zhongyuan Fota, without signs, it's incredibly difficult. The petrochemical plant was quite creative, and many people came to check in. You could really keep taking photos here without any repetition. The Beach Street two bus stops away was also quite artistic, with a strong literary vibe in the small alleys. However, the residential area behind it was very dilapidated, creating a strong contrast. Sorting through the materials, I found that the photo of the braised noodles was gone, leaving me completely puzzled. A few days ago, I was still expressing gratitude that I had visited some cities before, having almost completed all the provincial capitals. Now, revisiting them feels completely different. Apart from the people, the experience is not as good. Revisiting old places, there's a silent feeling of 'the places remain, but the people have changed'.
