    Taking the high-speed train from Shangqiu is very convenient, and half a day is enough time to explore. The tourist attractions here are quite commercialized; in the end, we visited the Royal Mausoleum, Liu Bang Slaying the Serpent, and the Great Han Dynasty – all places with legendary and historical significance. Because it's the off-season, taxis are hard to find, so I recommend driving yourself.

    I went out for a walk on the weekend, took a sightseeing bus to the halfway point, and hiked the rest of the way. It was winter, so the vegetation was bare and the scenery wasn't great, but hiking is still excellent exercise. There's a toboggan run that was very popular; those who don't want to hike down can give it a try.
