Chinese Independence Day at Han Yuan China in Kaifeng

Today, I had the privilege of joining the celebrations for Chinese Independence Day at Han Yuan China in Kaifeng, an event filled with pride, unity, and joy. As I stood among friends and colleagues, I couldn’t help but reflect on the significance of this day for China, a country with such a rich history and vibrant culture. The atmosphere was alive with patriotism and the spirit of togetherness, making it a truly memorable experience. Celebrating here in China as a PhD candidate at Zhengzhou University, I felt honored to witness and be a part of this national moment, recognizing the strength and resilience that has shaped this great nation. It’s a day that will remain close to my heart as I continue to embrace the culture and people who have made me feel so welcome. #Hanyuanchina #kaifeng #ChineseIndependenceDay #100waysoftravel

Explore the Forest of Steles in Han Garden, a journey through a thousand years of calligraphy

🌸Opening: An encounter with history The morning sun shines on the ancient city of Kaifeng, where I embark on a journey to the Han Garden Stele Forest in China with a heart full of historical curiosity. This place is a holy land for calligraphy, a witness to history, and a treasure of culture. 🚌Transportation: Direct access, easy travel Starting from Kaifeng Railway Station, take bus No. 1 or 15, 20 to reach Han Garden Stele Forest directly. The scenery along the way seems to tell the story of this ancient city. 🎫Ticket: Great value, many discounts The full-price ticket is only 40 yuan. For the elderly over 60 years old and children under 1.4 meters, admission is free! There are also discounts for students, military personnel, and others. 🏞Tour: Han Garden Stele Forest, a sea of calligraphy Entering the Han Garden Stele Forest is like entering an ocean of calligraphy. The ten stele galleries, including the Ancient Calligraphy Gallery, Modern Calligraphy Gallery, and Seal Carving Gallery, each stele is an art treasure. Walking among them, you can feel the weight of history and the depth of culture. Special recommendations for some must-see attractions: 'Auspicious Dragon Brings Blessings' and 'Literary Dragon Brings Joy' lantern displays, which give traditional festivals a new glow; the garden scenery of 'Green Mountains and Waters, Blooming Flowers' makes one feel as if they are in a fairyland; and there is also the rubbing experience, where you can personally experience this ancient traditional skill. 🍜Food: Taste the flavors of the ancient capital After touring, why not try some of Kaifeng's cuisine at a nearby restaurant? For example, the famous Zhu Xian Town New Year paintings, official porcelain, Bao Qianyuan brushes, and Kaifeng Bian embroidery are all specialties of Kaifeng and can be taken home as souvenirs. 🕒Time Planning Suggested touring time: 4-5 hours Arrive around 9 am to avoid the peak of the crowd and fully enjoy the steles and garden scenery. Leave around 3 pm to visit nearby attractions or taste local food. 🌼Conclusion: A spiritual cleansing Walking in the Han Garden Stele Forest, one can feel the sediment of history and the thickness of culture. Every attraction, every stele, tells a thousand-year-old story. This is a spiritual cleansing, as well as a dialogue with history.

Things you must know before going to Kaifeng China Han Garden Stele Forest

Hi~ everyone, I am Senyu. Recently, many friends from other places have asked me, when visiting Kaifeng, besides going to Kaifeng Qingming Shanghe Garden, Kaifeng Mansion, and Daxiangguo Temple, are there any other recommended places to visit? To this question, as someone who has been to Kaifeng N times, China Han Garden Stele Forest is also a good place to visit~ • In fact, many friends from other places have always mentioned Kaifeng, most of them know about Qingming Shanghe Garden, and few friends know about China Han Garden Stele Forest. To be honest, this scenic spot is also worth visiting, and the scenery and buildings inside are worth appreciating.

China Han Garden Stele Forest is next to Qingming Shanghe Garden, friends with ample time must go and check in ❷The exits of China Han Garden Stele Forest are very easy to take a taxi, and the bus is also very convenient. However, if you travel, I suggest you take a taxi by Didi, the cost of a taxi is rounded up, I personally don't like this, I only heard about this in Kaifeng ❸For accommodation, I suggest choosing to stay next to Qingming Shanghe Garden, which is closer to China Han Garden Stele Forest, Wansui Mountain Dazhong Wuxia City, City Wall Scenic Area, and Kaifeng Mansion ❹It is recommended to visit China Han Garden Stele Forest for 2-3 hours. If you have plenty of time, you can take a boat ride, and you will feel extremely comfortable when you row ❺The single ticket for China Han Garden Stele Forest is not cost-effective, it is recommended to buy a 60 yuan joint ticket or directly apply for a tourist annual card, which is also 60 yuan, and you can visit for 13 months, which is super cost-effective ❻In the afternoon of a sunny day in Han Garden Stele Forest, there will be a sunset, which is super atmospheric, and it is also very photogenic.

Escape from the hustle and bustle, recommended secret spots!

I've already visited two attractions in the three-day holiday👍 I recommend everyone to buy a joint ticket for the Chinese Han Garden Stele Forest, City Wall, and Wansui Mountain. Student tickets are half price, around 30💕 🌸First attraction: Chinese Han Garden Stele Forest🌟 I went there on the 29th. There weren't many people. The attractions inside are super photogenic. Sisters who like to take photos can go. Any shot is beautiful. There are many stele forests inside. The scenery is also super good when standing on it. There seems to be a chrysanthemum exhibition recently. The scenery feels better than the first time I went. 🌸Second attraction: City Wall. This one feels average personally because I was tired after visiting the Stele Forest. I didn't have the energy to visit the City Wall. There are also performances on the City Wall. You can take a look. If you go early, you can take a sightseeing car. It's more comfortable than visiting by yourself, and you can go directly to the next stop, Wansui Mountain. 🌸Third attraction: Wansui Mountain. Highly recommended. It's also the place I most want to go. The ticket price feels worth it. There are many performances inside. We arrived after four o'clock. They won't let you in after five o'clock. When we went that day, we also caught up with a boxing match. It was quite exciting. Around seven in the evening, there will be a music festival performance. If you want to watch, it's best to go and occupy a spot after six o'clock. There are more people. I only watched the opening warm-up performance. It was not bad. Around eight o'clock, I went to wait for the iron flower performance. It started on time at nine o'clock. Waiting for an hour felt worth it. It was super beautiful. The photos taken with the phone are not as good as the naked eye. You must go and see!! 🌸Finally, don't go to the Qingming Shanghe Garden during the National Day. There are a lot of people. Really, there are people everywhere. Watching a performance, as far as the eye can see, a mountain is full of people. The experience is very poor. The ticket price is also much more expensive than Wansui Mountain. After strolling for more than an hour, I wanted to go out. I hope these travel attraction strategies can help everyone! Have fun!🎉
