    I kept seeing videos of Wansui Mountain online, and finally couldn't resist going. I went on Monday morning around 9 am, and it was still quite crowded. I didn't expect Wansui Mountain to have no off-season! The NPC interactive games were very fun, but there were so many people that if you didn't reserve a spot in advance, you wouldn't get a turn. I highly recommend watching the iron flower performance; it's definitely worth it. The "Three Attacks on Zhujiatai" show might not be very interesting if you don't know the history. The "Gunfire in the North City" show was also very funny. I was lucky enough to be chosen as an extra, which was a lot of fun. The only downside was that I hadn't done much research beforehand. I thought I could use my silver tickets for massage, traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis, and a crosstalk performance, but I didn't get any of those. The silver tickets could only be exchanged for fruit, balloons, photos, and fridge magnets, which was a little disappointing. Overall, I would still recommend it to everyone. If you don't mind these things, the scenery inside the scenic area is beautiful and quite large, worth a visit. The potato tower and chicken patty recommended online are pretty good, but the "deadly bean curd skin" and baked flatbread are rather ordinary, just like the taste of a typical night market stall. The bean curd skin even tastes like spicy strips. You can choose which ones to buy.

    Today's visit to "Only Henan: A City of Theatrical Fantasy" deeply moved me. In the grand narrative of *The Railway Station Theater*, I witnessed a poignant and intense brotherly bond—Li Shiyi, the elder brother of Li Shiba, harboring an almost tragic tolerance and boundless love for his brother. The horrors of the 1942 Henan famine were reenacted on stage, the desperate scene of starving people scrambling for food was suffocating. When Li Shiyi, desperately seeking some life-saving seeds from his brother, the stationmaster, learned that the price would be his brother's life, his world crumbled instantly. Ultimately, Li Shiba opened the granary to distribute the grain, sacrificing himself in the process. Li Shiyi's madness and breakdown upon learning all this vividly portrayed the struggle of humanity under extreme circumstances. The smaller theater production *Wheat, Oh Wheat* depicts the resilient landscape of the people of Henan, who have depended on the land for thousands of years. Those simple and hardworking farmers, dedicating their lives to the wheat fields, saw wheat not only as food but also as their roots and soul. With the southward advance of the Jin army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Henan was forever cut off from the dynastic capital, a historical turning point tinged with desolation and regret. Another short play, "Su Shi's Henan," succinctly portrays the tumultuous life of the literary giant Su Shi in just thirty minutes. From his initial fame through the imperial examinations, to his repeated demotions and fluctuating fortunes, until his eventual pardon but failure to return to the capital Bianjing, where he died and was buried in Henan, his poetry is filled with a magnanimous outlook on life and an optimistic view of hardship. Yet, isn't this also a kind of spiritual transcendence under the pressure of reality? Behind that "forced magnanimity" lies a profound undercurrent of unfulfilled ambition throughout his life. This trip was not merely a theatrical experience, but a profound dialogue with the land, history, and the depths of human nature.

    It's really good, one of the better ones in the province. It's like a zoo and amusement park complex. There weren't many people on the weekdays, so there was no need to queue. However, there aren't many animals at the moment, and the rides seem a bit noisy. I wonder if they'll disturb the animals?

    We took our child on an educational trip and found our lovely tour guide, Xiaoya, for a VIP museum tour. Xiaoya was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. Her explanations were insightful yet simple, engaging, and captivating. Our child followed her for the entire 3 hours – a truly delightful surprise! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I learned a great deal from Ms. Feng Ping's guided tour. She explained the historical background of the exhibits, the details of the artifacts, and their impact in detail. For a place like Henan, with its long history and abundant natural wonders, figures, and artifacts, such a clear and well-organized explanation is truly remarkable. The focus was primarily on the museum's most prized possessions; you can set aside another half day to appreciate the other artifacts on your own. I was extremely satisfied with the guided tour service!

    A fantastic city museum with a rich collection, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Song Dynasty and the history of Kaifeng. The only drawback is the lack of parking; visitors must park nearby.

    Baoquan Tourist Area is a hidden gem. It's not very famous, but the scenery is absolutely stunning. It's suitable not only for young people looking for thrills but also for middle-aged and elderly people looking to enjoy the sights. It's a perfect attraction.

    It innovatively creates a form that integrates exhibition, performance, and show. With the help of technologies such as VR, AR, and holographic imaging, and combined with traditional art elements such as guzheng and opera, it allows the audience to say goodbye to fixed seats, walk around and watch, and immerse themselves in the real scene and digital scene.

    A combined ticket includes free shuttle bus rides to three locations; otherwise, you'll need to find your way there yourself or purchase a separate shuttle bus ticket. The museum and palace/temple ruins are relatively convenient, but the royal tombs are a bit far. The museum is open until 8 PM, and you can also buy evening tickets; it's less crowded and the experience is excellent. Bus route 11 is right outside, providing direct access to the high-speed rail, which is super convenient.

    Zhengzhou Fantawild Adventure Park was amazing! The Eye of the Storm and Polar Express were thrilling enough to make you scream, and the Soaring Over the Horizon special effects were incredibly realistic. I could easily go all the way through in one day – definitely a second ride! Zhengzhou Fantawild Adventure Park is perfect for families with kids! The rides have a good balance of active and relaxing attractions, the Boonie Bears theater was a huge hit with the kids, the staff were attentive, and the environment was clean and tidy – a top choice for family trips! Zhengzhou Fantawild Adventure Park offered a fantastic experience! With a wide variety of rides, enthusiastic service, and stunning nighttime views of the castle, it's incredibly good value for money and a fantastic choice for both friends and families!
