2024 Xingyang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
Xingyang is situated in the north of Henan province close to the city of Zhengzhou. The area was located on the border between the two contending powers of Western Chu and Han almost 2000 years ago. The border between the two is written on Chinese chess (known as 'Xiangqi') boards to mark the division between the two competing sides. Xingyang is also famous for the many battles that were fought here in ancient times. It is surrounded by picturesque scenery and has a number of scenic attractions including Gubaidu Feihuang Scenic Area, home to an ice skating rink. Visitors can also take a trip on a sheepskin raft and go for a camel ride.

Couples don't know where to go for the weekend? Come soak in the hot springs with us
Unknowingly, half a year has passed being a "workhorse" 💻, it's time for a relaxing weekend getaway 😎! It has to be around Zhengzhou, fun but not tiring, so the hot springs in Zhengzhou ♨️ are the first choice!

There are also many recreational facilities nearby, and now you can enjoy both the hot springs and the water park. It's really refreshing to come here in the hot summer 🤩!
🌟Hot Spring Experience:
Many friends might think that soaking in hot springs in summer is counterintuitive, too hot to bear 🤯. But I want to say, it's precisely because most people think this way that you can have a great reverse travel experience 💯— the hot spring water temperature is just right for sweating and dehumidifying 💦, and the indoor and outdoor hot springs are great for health. After soaking, I felt much more relaxed 😌.
🎢Entertainment Facilities:
There are shuttle buses in the park, making it very convenient to go anywhere 🤗! We arrived at noon, just in time to play in the hot springs without getting too much sun 🌞. The best project in the park is the drifting project, we unknowingly played several rounds 😜, it was so exciting!

The Royal Temple - Dahai Temple.
Dahai Temple is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Jingcheng Road and National Highway 310 in Xingyang City, Henan Province. It is a dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the only royal temple in the country named "Dahai". The temple was founded in the early Northern Wei Dynasty and was originally named Daihai Temple. It is said that Guanyin went north to ferry people. After moving to Xingyang, the Xingyang moat began to rise and fall with the tide of the sea, so the temple was also named Daihai Temple. During the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was the governor of Xingyang County. His son Li Shimin suffered from eye diseases. He sought famous doctors everywhere but it was ineffective. He was cured immediately after seeking the Buddha in Dahai Temple. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered the general Yuchi Gong to expand the temple. It was 20 miles long from east to west and 18 miles wide from north to south. The scale was like the sea, so it was named Dahai Temple.
Ticket information: Free
Opening hours: 08:00-18:30

The beautiful legend of the dividing point of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River - Sanhuang Mountain Taohuayu.
Sanhuang Mountain Taohuayu Scenic Area is located 25 kilometers northeast of Xingyang City. It is backed by the Yellow River, overlooking the Central Yue in the south, connecting the two king cities of Hanba in the west, and connecting the Yellow River Tourist Area in the east. It is a good place with many historical sites and a gathering of humanities. According to legend, in ancient times, Fuxi, Shennong, and Suiren all taught the people here to plant rice, collect yam, and livestock hunting, and left many moving stories and legends, so there was the name "Sanhuang Mountain". There is also a statue of "Peach Blossom Fairy" here, and there is a moving legend. The scenic area is also the dividing point of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and it is also an excellent place to watch the Yellow River's nine bends and eighteen bays. Climb to the top of the boundary monument, and you can overlook the entire panorama of the Yellow River's nine bends and eighteen bays in the Sanhuang Mountain Taohuayu Scenic Area!

This newly opened wetland park in Zhengzhou is simply amazing.
This newly opened wetland park in Zhengzhou is simply amazing. There is such a "wild" park near the city.
Built around the lake, the trees are lush
Backed by mountains, there are almost no high-rise buildings around 🏠
The view is wide open and it's especially relaxing. The sunset is beautiful
-
Camping and cycling are both super suitable
The lawn is particularly large and there are many pine trees
The wooden platform under the shade of the trees doesn't feel hot even when you sit on it
The cycling route is very well paved
Some sections even have undulating "waves"
Adds a lot of fun

Address | Zhengzhou Suohe Suburban Park
Driving | About 40 minutes from Zhengzhou
-
Travel tips:
1⃣ Be sure to navigate to the Tashan Road parking lot of Suohe Suburban Park. The previous navigation location is under construction and temporarily closed
2⃣ Cycling is OK, fishing is not allowed. You can use a cassette stove to barbecue, but charcoal fires are prohibited
3⃣ Pets are not allowed here, probably because the large lawn and children's playground are mainly for children's safe play
4⃣ The park gate has electric car rentals (58 yuan/30 minutes, which I personally feel is a bit unfriendly) but it is indeed convenient for efficient travel or carrying camping equipment

⚠️ It's been hot outdoors recently. Remember to check the weather before you go out
Didn't leave the province, stayed at a treasure family vacation hotel in Zhengzhou
This time, our family chose to stay at the Xiangtiwan Hotel in Zhengzhou (Zhengzhou West High-speed Railway Station branch). The experience was really amazing, and I must share it with everyone! 🎉
🏨Accommodation Experience:
We stayed in a three-bedroom private hot spring villa, and the room was incredibly spacious, a full 500 square meters! 🤩 On the first floor, there are two hot spring pools indoors, and another one in the small courtyard. There is also a large tatami area with small tents, slides, and other children's entertainment facilities. The kids had a blast. The second and third floors are all suite rooms, with separate doors for the living room and bedroom, and the two air conditioners can be controlled separately, which is very reasonable. The bedrooms also have small tents and dolls, showing warmth in every detail, which the children absolutely loved. 😘 The room is decorated very warmly, with tents and rocking horse toys that children like, and the toiletries include children's toothpaste and shower gel, which is really thoughtful. 👏
🌿Environment:
The hotel's environment is very beautiful, making you feel like you are in a paradise. 🎄 The room is clean and tidy, without any damp or strange smells, making it very comfortable to stay in. 😃
♨️Hot Spring Experience:
The hot springs here are simply a highlight! There are more than 40 indoor and outdoor hot spring pools, including the Hobbit Children's Park and the Tahiti Ocean Park. Each area is full of childlike fun and creativity. 🤗 While the kids are playing in the water, they can also experience different hot spring cultures, which makes them very happy. We adults can also relax and enjoy this pleasant time in the hot springs. 😎
💁Service:
The service is also very well done. From the shuttle bus waiting, luggage handling, to the tea stations and popular photo spots everywhere, it feels very convenient, and the photos turn out great. 😜 The preparation of children's items and the complimentary fruit in the room made us feel the hotel's thoughtfulness. 🥰
🍳Dining:
The hotel's breakfast is very rich, with a variety of dishes, snacks, and fruits, as well as freshly made noodles and fried eggs, which can fully meet the different taste needs of the family. 😋
🚗Transportation:
The hotel's location is very convenient, close to the Zhengzhou West High-speed Railway Station, making it easy to reach whether by car or public transportation. 🤓 The hotel also provides free parking, which is very friendly for families traveling by car. 🅿️
🌟Whether it's the hot springs, accommodation, service, or dining, everything is impeccable. 👍 This is really a great place, very suitable for bringing children to enjoy the hot springs and entertainment facilities, and to spend quality family time. 🤗 We will definitely come back next time, and we will also recommend such a good place to our friends! 💕
Take you to see the beauty of the Mother River, the Yellow River
Drive for about 40 minutes to reach the boundary marker of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. When you see someone setting up roadblocks to stop cars, it means you have arrived. Many cyclists can ride straight in without being stopped. For non-cyclists, it is recommended to drive as there is no public transportation on the way.
The people stopping cars look like they are from the scenic area and say you must switch to a sightseeing bus, which costs 30 yuan per person.
It's a 1.3-kilometer walk. Initially, I planned to walk, but traffic jams in the city center delayed me. By the time I reached the so-called transfer point, the sun was already setting. After bargaining, I got the price down to 30 yuan for 2 people. The car followed their sightseeing bus to the navigation point. Upon reaching the scenic area, be mindful of oncoming cars and cyclists. Shamefully, as a Henan native, this is my first time visiting the Yellow River. In contrast, Zhang Huaimin, who lives upstream of the Yellow River, can stroll along the river every day when she is at home.
Beijing >>> Goungzhou 2nd Class Train 🙂 its good

The castle hotels around Zhengzhou are especially photogenic.
The castle hotel within a 30-minute drive from Zhengzhou.
Where to go for the May Day holiday? Tourist spots are crowded with people.
Queuing in traffic on the highway.
Why not drive along the Lianhai Expressway westward, and in half an hour from the West Third Ring Road, you'll arrive at the Wuyun Mountain Yunding Castle Hotel. Sleep until you wake up naturally, watch the sunset from the mountaintop, or visit the nearby rose garden to experience the romantic fragrance of flowers. Guys can seek adventure at the nearby go-kart track. Here, even if you do nothing, just daydream, breathe in the oxygen, and enjoy the natural spa, that's probably the best relaxation for the season.
Gubei Ferry
Gubei Ferry, originally named the Gubei Ferry Feihuang Tourist Area, was officially renamed to Gubei Ferry Feihuang Tourist Area in July 2015. The Gubei Ferry Tourist Area is located within the territory of Wangcun Town, 15 kilometers northwest of Xingyang City. The area covers 3.5 square kilometers. It is adjacent to Hulao Pass in the west, connected to Feilong Top, Hanba Erwang City, and Taohuayu Tourist Area in the east, bordered by the surging Yellow River in the north, and the lush Chuanyuan in the south. In the past, the ancient cypress was verdant, with green trees providing shade, the scenery was beautiful, and the landscape was pleasant, making it one of the key scenic spots on the Yellow River tourist route. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project passes through this area.
Historical records
This is an ancient ferry on the bank of the Yellow River with a history of more than 2000 years. It has witnessed the smoke of war during the Chu-Han contention, the battles of the Three Kingdoms, and heard the hoofbeats of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties competing for supremacy. Every inch of the yellow soil is imprinted with the long smoke and dust of the years. The Yellow River makes a bend at Wangcun Town of Xingyang, leaving behind a small river bay called Gubei Mouth. This is the calmest and most gentle section of the Yellow River in Xingyang, connecting to Feilong Top in the east and Hulao Pass in the west, facing the surging Yellow River, and backed by the continuous Mangshan Mountains. Its name comes from a legend; it is said that in ancient times, there was a tall and straight old cypress tree here, whose shade covered the sun, and it was the place where Han Emperor Liu Bang took shelter from the rain. It is recorded in the county annals: 'Why hurry to Chenggao Circle, the soldiers of Gubei turn slowly to avoid the rain'. Later, this place was made into a ferry, hence named 'Gubei Ferry'.
The ancient cypress of Gubei Ferry also once sheltered Tang Emperor Li Shimin from wind and rain. Legend has it that the ancient cypress was once so lush that its canopy could cover an area of an acre, and when Li Shimin made a night attack on Dou Jiande's camp and encountered rain here, he took shelter under the tree, and not a single person got wet. Li Shimin praised it as the 'thousand-year-old spiritual root'.
As if destined not to be forgotten by history, as the crossing point of the national South-to-North Water Diversion Project, where the romantic encounter between the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers takes place, the ancient Gubei Ferry will once again rejuvenate, witnessing the grand vision of the South-to-North Water Diversion, and the strong steps of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The national South-to-North Water Diversion and West-to-East Gas Transmission plans have been set to cross the Yellow River here, with parts of the project already underway. The development and construction of the scenic area's wharf, racetrack, leisure hunting district, ten thousand mu fishpond, lotus park, and agroforestry ecological garden will drive the tourism industry here onto a fast track of development.
The place I miss the most when I think of the south of the Yangtze River is Wuzhen
After hearing 'Spring is not late,' I find myself truly in the south of the Yangtze River.
The first impression of the south of the Yangtze River is probably the image of small bridges over flowing water and households. No matter the weather, as soon as you set foot here and walk on the bluestone slabs that surround you, it feels as if you've seen all of Wuzhen's past and present. Transportation guide:
Take the high-speed train to Tongxiang station, where there is a direct bus to the Wuzhen scenic area upon exiting the station. If driving from Hangzhou, it takes about 1.5 hours.
Food and accommodation guide:
Staying within Wuzhen is a good choice. Wuzhen in the early morning without too many tourists allows you to wander and experience the leisurely life of the ancient town. Wuzhen's morning tea is worth trying, as well as Dingsheng cake and scallion-stuffed buns. Sightseeing and check-in guide:
The plant dye workshop is worth experiencing. Wuzhen's rowing boats, stone bridges, and teahouses are all great for taking photos and checking in. It is recommended to experience the rowing boat when it is about to get dark. Wuzhen is beautiful when the lights are on and taking a rowing boat ride.

Zhengzhou's 100 Free Treasure Attractions - Qian Chi Tower
Zhengzhou's 100 Free Treasure Attractions - Qian Chi Tower. Located at the top of Dawei Mountain, Xitashan Village, Jiayu Town, Xingyang City, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, it is a hexagonal seven-story pavilion-style brick tower, 15 meters high, built during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1022-1063), commonly known as the 'Empress Cao Tower'. The tower was originally part of the Shengshou Temple complex, but now only the ancient tower and a few Ming and Qing steles remain. The tower faces south with doors on the first and second floors leading to the heart chamber, and false doors from the third to the seventh floors. The outline of the tower body converges in an arc, with a graceful shape, and each layer has overhanging eaves with a flat base built on top. The spire of the tower was restored during the renovation in 1989.
The mountain top where Qian Chi Tower is located is surrounded by a circle of stone walls, known as the 'Yue Fo Fortress' built in the tenth year of the Xianfeng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1860). The fortress is built according to the mountain terrain, with an irregular plan and a perimeter of about 1.1 kilometers, with gates on the east, west, and south sides. Currently, Qian Chi Tower can be reached by car, but the road to the top of the mountain is narrow and rugged, making it difficult to pass other vehicles and challenging to ascend.

The Lonely Cypress Crossing Fengle Cherry Blossom Garden
Anyone going to the Fengle Cherry Blossom Garden must see this!!! Whole scenic area: The Lonely Cypress Crossing Fengle Cherry Blossom Garden
Location: Located in the Zhengzhou City Rongyang South-to-North Water Diversion Yellow River Crossing area. Follow the navigation directly to the east parking lot
Ticket: Single person 599/person, double person 999/person (season card valid from March 1 to May 5, unlimited use during opening hours: 9 am to 6 pm
Arrived at the village entrance at 11 am on March 31, it was congested all the way, and it took until 11:40 am to reach the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area, and it was also hard to find a parking spot. You can also choose to park further away and walk there. It was 2 pm by the time we parked and got to the entrance of the scenic area, and there was a very long queue. It wasn't hot anymore, didn't want to queue, there were tickets for a fast track available, 50/person for a single use. After buying the ticket, you can enter through the fast track. If you buy tickets online, you can only enter by queuing up.
The cherry blossoms are really beautiful during the peak bloom period, I must say. The weather was good today, and the photos turned out great. Many people brought their gear, dressed up in ancient costumes, and took various beautiful photos. There are also different types of cherry blossoms, saw several varieties, all very beautiful, and there are also many rapeseed flowers in the park.
The scenic area has small flower shops where you can buy a pack of deer cookies for 10 yuan, which allows an adult to bring a child to get up close with the deer. However, there was no network when paying, waited for half an hour, still couldn't make the payment, only cash was accepted for entry, and the service attitude was not good, so in the end, the child didn't get to see it...
The child was eagerly looking forward to the little train, finally found the ticket entrance, queued up for a long time, ready to pay, still no network, the child cried in urgency and still couldn't get on the little train.
There was basically no network in various places that required payment, especially for iPhones...
Recommendations:
Queuing up to enter the scenic area, queuing up to exit, queuing up in the parking lot, queuing up for the restroom, queuing up for various facilities... In short, it's crowded everywhere, I advise everyone to plan your time wisely: be sure to bring cash!!
Back suggestion: If you have children, try to bring a stroller, the park is quite large and children can easily get tired.
