Top 10 attractions in Xinyang
Wenxin Tea Village
Wenxin Tea Villageis located in Shihegang, the core production area of Xinyang Maojian tea, adjacent to Nanwan Lake. It is a rural tourist attraction themed around modern tea culture, integrating tea plantation sightseeing, tea picking and processing experiences, gourmet tasting, family-friendly recreation, and leisure vacations. The true stars here are the tens of thousands of acres of organic tea plantations that stretch across the mountains. Ascend to the Tingfeng Pavilion at the top of the tea mountain to listen to the breeze, enjoy the scenery, sip tea, and relax. Looking out from the railing, the tea ridges unfold layer by layer along the mountain contours. The Sanguan Pavilion on the mountainside is another excellent vantage point, offering views of both the reservoir and the vast tea plantations. The core sightseeing area, Wenxin Tea Ecological Sightseeing Park, brings together attractions such as the stone carving marking the origin of Xinyang Maojian and the Sunrise Viewing Platform. A tea corridor hundreds of meters long winds through the sea of tea, and strolling along it feels like being enveloped by green waves. The village is also dotted with small scenic spots like Bailongtan Waterfall, Longzhu Pavilion, Shennong Spring, and Lu Yu Well, where the landscape and tea plantations complement each other. Most activities in the village revolve around "tea." In the manual stir-frying workshop, you can watch tea masters demonstrate the traditional manual stir-frying techniques of Xinyang Maojian up close—a craft that has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage. During the tea season, you can even carry a tea basket into the plantation to pick tea, experiencing the complete process from picking and stir-frying to brewing. There are tea art performances in the Tea Tasting Pavilion, where you can better appreciate the nuances of Xinyang tea culture while sipping tea. The leisure and entertainment area is near Longzhu Pavilion and includes zones for children's play, lodging, and the sale of Xinyang local specialties, allowing families with children to slow down their pace. The trails in the park are generally gentle, making them easy for seniors and children to walk. Visiting during the spring tea season allows you to catch the tea-picking experience, and the park is particularly lively then. The Sunrise Viewing Platform is a great spot for watching the sunrise and sunset.Xinyang · 22km from downtown

Wenxin Tea Farm, green in autumn
When I came here two years ago, the road had not been completely repaired, but it was still
The scenery was spectacular. I drove up the mountain by myself and the pavilion was being built.
After a year, there are already many tourists. The teahouse is well built and the service is in place. The panoramic view of the surrounding area is 360 degrees without obstruction, which is refreshing.
It is worth receiving friends from afar and a good place to show off.

郝堂村，豫南大别山坳里长出的“会呼吸的村庄”。青砖院墙爬满丝瓜藤，雕花门楼下石磨流水潺潺，百年皂角树撑开翡翠巨伞，荷塘如碧玉拼图嵌在黛瓦间。这里无矫饰仿古，只有豫南民居的筋骨——夯土墙承着茅草顶，竹篱笆围起菜畦，柴垛边蜷着打盹的黄狗。生活美学在细节里闪光：老石匠用河卵石砌出波浪形院墙，村妇在溪畔捶打扎染蓝布，晒秋的辣椒玉米在屋顶铺开油画色块。最动人处是村民的日常剧场——荷塘栈桥上稚童追蜻蜓，茶摊老翁用紫砂壶嘴呵出白气，夕阳将归家农人的剪影烙在夯土墙上。当炊烟糅合着荷叶粥清香漫过石拱桥，你才懂得何为“乡村振兴的样本”：郝堂之美，不在标本式的精致，而在猪哼鸡鸣中透出的原生诗意，在每一片青苔、每一道犁痕里，都藏着时光包浆的暖意。

Shihe Park is a place I often go to. It has green mountains and clear waters. There are two entrances to enter. The most popular one is the entertainment area, which has a pirate ship, a big pendulum, a small train, and a carousel. It is very fun.

It is really beautiful, with a strong cultural atmosphere, and the B&B is mature. This is not the first time I have come here.
[Scenery] Spring, summer and autumn are the best, and the atmosphere for winter and New Year is very good.
[Value for money] I have basically seen all B&Bs, and most of them are OK.
