Things to do in Ci County

I enjoyed a fantastic trip on the first day of National Day, off-peak, during the holiday season! It was my first time at a Fantawild theme park, and I expected it to be just like any other domestic park. I was surprised by how captivating and engaging the show was, showcasing the Chinese culture to its fullest! Nuwa mends the sky, The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, The Charm of the Nine Provinces, The Yellow Millet Dream, Meng Jiangnu, and Crazy Idioms—all excellent shows! Highly recommended! Fantawild National Colors Spring and Autumn was a truly worthwhile experience!

It's a bit unbelievable that such a beautiful Jiangnan garden wasn't rated! The actors' performances were very energetic and professional, but their interaction with the audience was lacking; silence would have been more effective! The consideration for the elderly and disabled was not comprehensive enough; these groups could only admire the scenery from afar in most situations. Hopefully, this can be improved!

Cao Cao wielded his whip, his legacy spanning a thousand years. A lone rider soared into the clouds, a dream of returning to the Cao Wei dynasty, understanding the grand strategies and talents of a thousand years ago.

The North Xiangtang Grottoes, carved by the Gao family of the Northern Qi dynasty, are the highest-ranking grottoes within the Xiangtang system. The Great Buddha Cave features a dome-shaped ceiling and a massive main Buddha statue, traditionally believed to be the burial site of Buddha relics. The sutra pillars, Buddhist reliefs, and the flame and scroll patterns within the caves are all typical of the Northern Qi style. Despite the damage to many stone sculptures over the past millennium, the powerful spirit of the Northern Dynasties remains clearly evident. The South Xiangtang Grottoes, carved at the end of the Northern Qi dynasty, belong to the same Xiangtangshan Grottoes system as the North Xiangtang, but their character is distinctly different. While lacking the grand imperial Buddha of the North Xiangtang, they excel in their intricate and dense cave layout and the stunning preservation of Northern Qi polychrome paintings. The flying apsaras and lotus flowers on the ceiling are depicted with light and graceful lines, and their colors are mottled but still vibrant. The rows of niches, thousand-Buddha reliefs, and jewel-shaped arched lintels on the walls are arranged in layers, depicting Buddhist stories and scenes of music and dance on the rock walls. They are a delicate and romantic model of the grotto art of the late Northern Qi Dynasty.

Li Yu, the teacher from Huayu, gave a fantastic lecture! I benefited greatly from it! I learned a lot, and the three and a half hours were well worth the trip! I wanted more! The exhibition hall was also very well built, and the Henan Province guides' explanations were excellent!
