FIRST FLOOR

First of all, the exterior gate is a new building, and it is in a dilapidated state. The lobby downstairs is well decorated. We were led to the dining area for individual customers, which is a private room with seven or eight long tables. It is compact and noisy. There is no "hundred-year-old" feeling here. The taste of the dishes is also very ordinary. According to the Didi master, Xuchang is full of hidden talents and good bun shops are everywhere.

After eating the Yellow River Carp from Awu in Zhengzhou, I realized that the ones from the first floor are not that delicious 😋

You can’t use Ctrip to order food! What a pity! ! ! ! ! ! !

Anyone know what I mean, family?! We took the kids to Kaifeng, hoping to experience the Song Dynasty capital on a budget of 1500 RMB per person, but we almost got ripped off and questioned our life choices! 😱 I've compiled a guide to avoid these pitfalls and money-saving tips for families. Follow these steps to avoid wasting money! 💸【Those Pitfalls That Will Make Your Shopping Habits Collapse】 ❌ Low-price traps are hard to avoid: The "50 RMB full-guided tour" at the entrance of Qingming Riverside Park is a shady tour guide who takes you shopping for more time than actually visiting the attractions; the "40 RMB special price ticket" for the Imperial River Cruise is either fake or has the price increased midway, while the official price is only 50 RMB including a guided tour! ❌ Free amusement parks are too "mommy-killing": The Song Dynasty Royal Amusement Park and the Swing Park are completely free, but kids get hooked and can easily spend 2-3 hours there, completely missing the must-see performance "Yue Fei Spears Xiao Liang Wang"! ❌ Specialty Products & Transportation Pitfalls: "50% off Bian embroidery" around the Drum Tower Night Market is mostly machine-made, and peanut cakes may be expired; tricycle drivers offering "20 yuan to tour all the attractions" will take detours to shops offering kickbacks. ❌ Accommodation Overpricing: Hotels near Drum Tower/Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden increase prices 2-3 times during peak season, offering extremely low value! ✅【Family-Friendly Money-Saving Guide】 ▫️ Half-price Tickets: Buy a 120 yuan Kaifeng Tourism Annual Pass (including 10 major attractions), saving half the price of individual tickets. Activate 24 hours in advance to use; Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden night tickets are 79 yuan, including the light show and performance – a great deal! ▫️ Kid-Friendly Itinerary: Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden tickets are valid for 3 days! Day 1 focuses on the performances (9:20 AM: The Great Song Dynasty Imperial Examination, 11:20 AM: Yue Fei's Spear Challenge to Xiao Liang Wang), Day 2 lets kids enjoy the free amusement park, and Day 3 allows interaction with NPCs to earn coins to exchange for souvenirs. ▫️ Food and Drink Tips: Avoid the crowded Gulou Night Market; Xisi Night Market offers a more authentic experience! Stir-fried mung bean jelly for 5 yuan, almond tea for 3 yuan, and soup dumplings for 12 yuan per basket – eat until you're stuffed for just 40 yuan per person! Look for established brands like "First Building" and "Ma Yuxing" to buy local specialties. ▫️ Save Hundreds on Accommodation: Stay near Jinming Square/Songcheng Road for direct bus access to the core scenic areas. Book budget hotels or guesthouses near the old Henan University on Ctrip for around 200 yuan per night – super affordable! ▫️ Don't Miss Free Perks: Take photos at Henan University's Minglun Campus with its red walls and green tiles – free registration for entry! Enjoy a free panoramic view of the ancient city from the rooftop of the department store next to the Gulou. 📌 Ctrip Exclusive Benefit: Book family-friendly guesthouses in Kaifeng now!
