[2025 Shangqiu Stay] Travel Guide for Shangqiu Ancient Town (Updated May)

Shangqiu Ancient City, Chen Family Courtyard

#favouriteitinerary During a past visit to Shangqiu Ancient City, I was immersed in its deep historical and cultural significance. As one of the birthplaces of Chinese traditional culture, civilization, and the Chinese nation, it is renowned as the "Natural Museum of the History of Ancient City Construction in China." I explored Huoshentai, the oldest existing observatory in China, and the Shangqiu Museum, the first museum dedicated to the history and civilization of Shang culture. The Guidefu Confucian Temple, the largest in Henan Province, featured a thousand-year-old Gleditsia tree in its courtyard, adding to its ancient charm. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended as the town has many stone-paved paths. Shangqiu Ancient City's historical charm and cultural richness make it a must-visit destination. 🌿😊
