The fragrance of chrysanthemums fills the air at Kaifeng Han Garden. The autumn wind blows, the chrysanthemums bloom, and it's time to admire the chrysanthemums again. This time, I came to Kaifeng Han Garden to attend a grand chrysanthemum event. It is truly a sight to behold. As soon as I entered the garden, I was amazed by the layers of colorful chrysanthemums. There are many varieties of chrysanthemums here, each with its own unique shape. Some chrysanthemums have long, slender petals that hang down like silk, as if they are shy girls dancing lightly; others have full petals that cluster together like beautiful hydrangeas. The white chrysanthemums are as pure as snow, the yellow chrysanthemums are as bright as gold, the pink chrysanthemums are as delicate as clouds, and the red chrysanthemums are as passionate as fire. They sway gracefully in the autumn wind, emitting a faint and elegant fragrance that is refreshing. The chrysanthemum shapes in Han Garden are also unique. Look at the giant dragon made of chrysanthemums, winding and coiling, lifelike, as if it is about to soar into the sky; and the pavilions and towers built with chrysanthemums, exquisite and delicate, make people marvel at the ingenuity of the gardeners. Walking along the chrysanthemum garden path, it feels like traveling back to the courtyards of ancient literati, where poetry is everywhere. In addition to admiring chrysanthemums, Han Garden also hosts a variety of chrysanthemum cultural activities. At the chrysanthemum calligraphy and painting exhibition, there are many calligraphy and painting works with chrysanthemums as the theme, with ink flowing and poetry flowing, showing the unique status of chrysanthemums in the hearts of literati; the chrysanthemum photography competition also attracts many photography enthusiasts, who use their cameras to capture the beauty of chrysanthemums and freeze every wonderful moment. Chrysanthemum viewing tips: The chrysanthemum exhibition in Han Garden is usually held from October to November, and it is a good time to visit and admire the chrysanthemums. Try to choose weekdays or morning hours to visit, as there are fewer people and the scenery is more beautiful, making it easier to take photos. In terms of transportation, you can take a bus directly to the entrance of Han Garden, or drive yourself, as there is a parking lot in the park. Tickets can be booked online in advance, which is affordable and convenient. This autumn, why not come to Kaifeng Han Garden and experience the unique charm of the fusion of traditional culture and natural beauty in the fragrance of chrysanthemums. 🌸

🌆 Today, I want to share with you an amazing cultural destination - the Chinese Han Garden! It is located in the northwest of Kaifeng City, the ancient capital of seven dynasties, on the west side of Longting Park. 🌟 The Chinese Han Garden is a magical treasure trove of art. It was founded by Mr. Li Gongtao in 1985 with his own funds. It is the first private stele forest in China and the largest private stele forest in China.

More than a dozen artificial peaks have different shapes, five major waterfalls are magnificent, three major islands are like pearls inlaid in the lake, ten bridges span the water, and two large fountains add a dynamic beauty to the park. In the southern garden scenic area, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, making people feel relaxed and happy. 👀 The main attractions here are each unique.

The exterior is all made of white marble, and the dragon and phoenix reliefs are exquisite, showing the majesty of the royal family. The Yansheng Mountain Waterfall has a drop of 19 meters, and the sound of the waterfall is deafening, and the waves are splashing, as if people are in a fairyland. The four big golden characters "Chinese Han Garden" on the top of the south gate archway are shining, and the eight big characters "selfless dedication, hard work" on both sides reflect the noble spirit of Mr. Li Gongtao in creating the Chinese Han Garden. There is also the statue of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, which implies that the culture of the Chinese nation has the same root and the same origin, which makes people feel respectful. 🎉 The Chinese Han Garden also often holds various cultural activities, such as the Spring Festival Ancestor Worship Temple Fair, Qingming Cultural Series Activities, Filial Piety Culture Tourism Festival, etc., allowing tourists to feel a strong cultural atmosphere while enjoying the beautiful scenery. 💕 If you are a calligraphy lover, then the Chinese Han Garden is definitely your paradise; if you love traditional culture, you will also linger here.

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

|Kaifeng Little Jiangnan, amazing!! Chinese Han Garden Stele Forest| Kaifeng Little Jiangnan, amazing!! The Han Garden Stele Forest is located in the Longting Lake Scenic Area of Kaifeng City, next to the Qingming Shanghe Garden. It integrates the landscape art of mountains and waters and the architectural art of classical gardens, and gathers the great achievements of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign poetry, calligraphy, painting, and stele art. Everyone!! Must go!! Time: 08:00~18:00 I entered from the north gate, and the stele forest came into view. It was extremely spectacular. There are more than 3,800 pieces of calligraphy and painting steles. The stele corridor is six miles long. It is inlaid with the representative stele posts of calligraphy masters from all dynasties, which is very shocking. The entire park covers an area of 120 acres. The southern part is a garden scenic area. There are pavilions, towers, rock mountains and waterfalls, which fully reflect Chinese architecture. The boat in the lake needs to be paid for (20), which is very photogenic. If you want to take pictures, remember to wear Hanfu or cheongsam. Every step is a scene, highly recommended. The entire scenic area takes about an hour and a half to stroll around. If you take pictures, you need to calculate separately. There are also performances in the scenic area. You can watch the performance schedule. It's worth a visit

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. The following travel guide took me a week to organize, remember to collect it • 📌【6️⃣ things you must know before coming to China Han Garden Stele Forest】 ❶Actually, many people have not heard of China Han Garden Stele Forest, which causes many friends to leave after visiting Qingming Shanghe Garden. 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. Friends who like photography can go ahead and find a position, highly recommended • ✅Other 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 ▪️There are not many food sold in the scenic area, you can bring some food and drinks by yourself, just in case you are hungry haha ▪️During the Chinese New Year, there will be a Dragon Year Lantern Exhibition and a temple fair at night in China Han Garden Stele Forest. Those who like to enjoy lanterns can take their family to see ▪️Boating in the park requires an additional charge, which is not included in the entrance fee of the scenic spot. The boating fee is 20💰 per person, highly recommended to try

|Hanyuan Stele Forest Art Temple Fair. Must-visit in Kaifeng | Hanyuan Stele Forest Art Temple Fair The Art Temple Fair at Hanyuan Stele Forest left me and my friends in awe, it's really a great place to visit! It's very suitable for family outings during the Spring Festival, full of festive atmosphere, not only rich and colorful folk activities, but also unique check-in points. You can interact with many NPCs, experience traditional arts such as rubbing and calligraphy, and there are also boat rides, temple fair activities When the lights are on at night, the whole scenic area is even more beautiful, a feast for the eyes

The China Han Garden Stele Forest covers an area of 120 acres, consisting of one ridge, two pools, three mountains, three platforms, three lakes, three bays, three islands, three springs, five streams, nine waterfalls, ten peaks, twelve bridges, and twelve pavilions, divided into two major landscapes: gardens and stele corridors. The southern part is dominated by garden scenery, and from south to north, there are the South Paifang, Jade Belt Bridge, statue of Xuanyuan Huangdi, family instruction stele, Panlong Ridge, Gaofeng Pavilion, Wencui Mountain, Han Garden Lake, Poetry Contest Platform, Yangsheng Mountain, Nine-Turn Bridge, Confucius statue, Jinshi Island, etc.

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!🎉
