    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?

    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!

    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!

    Bringing my child here during summer vacation was quite enjoyable for both my wife and me. The park is huge, with lots of animals and rides; we spent a whole day there and still couldn't see everything! 👍🏻

    Zhengzhou's cultural park is well worth a visit, fully showcasing Henan's long history. The statues of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor are truly awe-inspiring, and the geological museum inside is incredibly educational.

    I just don't understand why the music is so loud that it almost breaks my eardrums. As soon as the child goes in, he starts clamoring to get out. I coaxed him to watch a few shows, but he covered his ears the whole time.

    The name "Kang Baiwan" (meaning "Kang the Millionaire") originated from a jest by Empress Dowager Cixi about the Kang family, who were known as the "Living Gods of Wealth in Central China," but the name spread far and wide. The Kang Baiwan Manor, a nationally renowned manor of the wealthy, is now open to the public as a tourist attraction, showcasing a Ming and Qing dynasty manor complex. Facing the Luo River and backed by Mount Mang, the manor's feng shui is undoubtedly auspicious, and the decades-long inheritance of wealth is truly a remarkable story. The manor is not only vast but also incredibly complex. Courtyards connect to courtyards, main roads to side paths, winding and twisting, even revealing secret passages leading up the mountain and hidden treasure vaults—a truly eye-opening experience. There are also performances every day at 11 am, offering a deeper understanding of the history of the Republic of China era, which is quite moving.

    It was a really great experience, and I felt it was excellent value for money. I came here as a tourist, and the ticket price for this zoo was very reasonable. There were also many different kinds of animals. It's suitable for families with children; it was a really good experience. I would definitely come again if I have the chance.
