Zhengzhou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Fast Hands and Still Hearts: Shaolin Temple

#2023TravelWish #henanprovince #china By now, everyone should know of the famous KungFu shows of the Shaolin Monks, but what impressed me most when visiting was not the martial arts (although that was thrilling) but rather the beautiful architecture, history and peace of the place. Admittedly, we made the trip off season, so there were not as many tourists, but even so, the quiet of the place stood out. Watch out for my favourite part not featured here, the ancient tree with hundred bear old finger holes used by decades of monks for practice!

Feels Like I’m Inside a KungFu Movie 🎥

The moment you enter DengFeng town, you’ll notice a never ending rows of KungFu Schools. Yes, right, hundreds if not thousands of people from children to teenagers to adults are here to learn the very martial arts we know only from movies on our childhoods. So obviously, you’ll need to visit the iconic Shaolin Temple, too!! This Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Wuru Peak of the Songshan mountain range in Dengfeng County, Henan Province, China. Watch my clip and you’ll see just a very tiny piece of performance by some of the students there and it was really impressive to see them up close (and mot through TV Screen!). If you’d also like to learn some basic movements, check it out with local tours and guides out there. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #china

It is said that the scenery at the doorstep is not a scene, and it is rare to visit the scenic spots in Henan. When the effort of the accelerator is coming to Fuxi Mountain, I feel that the landscape here and the landscape are worthy of more people to discover. Stepping up the stairs, the rain after the rain belongs to the coolness of the mountains, and such mountains and rivers also fall into our memory...

The Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon is 5 kilometers long. It runs along the water, the waterfall continues, and the landscape is step by step. There are also Fuxi Pavilion and Fuxi Lake. The natural landscape is very beautiful.

The roses in the Rose Garden of Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon in Henan are in full bloom. Tomorrow is 520. Bring your loved ones here to enjoy the flowers! The 100-acre rose in the rose garden floats ten miles. The fragrance of this rose is the taste of the roses we usually eat, especially good. Rose Garden has also set up a lot of online language for people who come here to play, cute Tigger, cute pigs and so on. The girl who wants to take pictures must not miss it. The photo taken in the rose garden is destined to be a red photo. When I went, there was a fog in the mountains, just like entering a fairyland. The roses with dewdrops in the scent exude a charming fragrance. There are also many beautiful rose flowers around the rose garden. The roses of various colors are just a sea of flowers. A pair of lovers holding hands in this romantic rose sea, the goddesses are filled with happy smiles, I am really envious! The Fuqi Mountain Grand Canyon is a two-hour drive from Zhengzhou City, and it is very convenient to navigate the past.

How beautiful the valley is, how beautiful the mountain is. Take the Fuxi Mountain Grand Canyon and take a turn at the Red Stone Forest attraction. The peaks and peaks in the scenic area are like the forest. The red stones are very spectacular. The cliffs and the artificial plank roads and the winding winding mountain roads form a beautiful picture. The 22-meter cliff swing and high-altitude glass ring gallery allow you to enjoy the beauty and excitement while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Henan culinary delights in Zhengzhou.

Great local food after an interesting and informative visit to the Henan Museum

Check out the YAO Music Carnival, and mark your visit to the ancient capital, Zhengzhou~

When you come to Zhengzhou, I also recommend these places! I recommend everyone to check them out! 1. Shaolin Temple It is said that 'all martial arts under heaven originated from Shaolin.' Not just Chinese people who have been deeply influenced by Shaolin Kung Fu since childhood, but many international friends also visit Shaolin Temple when they come to Henan. It's not only the holy land of martial arts but also the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism in China. Strike a few classic martial arts poses at Shaolin Temple for a photo, and it feels as if the blades and shadows of the martial world are flashing before your eyes. 2. Henan Only · Drama Fantasy City Henan Only · Drama Fantasy City, created by Jianye Group in collaboration with director Wang Chaoge, is a drama fantasy city with 21 theaters and is currently one of the largest drama clusters in China. The scenic area uses immersive theatrical art as a technique and unique 'fantasy city' architecture as a carrier. By telling stories about 'land, food, and heritage,' it allows more people to experience the charm of theatrical culture. 3. Henan Museum Founded in 1927, the Henan Museum is one of the earliest established museums in China. It is located in the middle section of Agriculture Road in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, covering an area of 126 acres with a building area of 55,000 square meters. The Henan Museum currently has a collection of over 170,000 pieces (sets) of cultural relics, especially known for its prehistoric artifacts, Shang and Zhou dynasty bronzes, ceramics from various dynasties, jades, and stone carvings. With a large number of high-quality, diverse, and valuable cultural relics, it is a treasure trove of cultural art that witnesses the trajectory of Chinese civilization and showcases the historical development of China. At the beginning of December, let's have fun at the Zhengzhou YAO Music Carnival and start the winter revelry~

Henan Drama Fantasy City: A place only understood by people from Henan!

Henan Drama Fantasy City. A place only understood by people from Henan! A place where you can find your hometown on the loess walls! 56 labyrinth-like courtyard cells, one pit courtyard, 21 theaters, a chessboard layout dividing different scenes and performance spaces, with a total of nearly 700 minutes of non-repeating performances every day, and nearly a thousand actors. Each courtyard has its own theme, each room its own world. Turning past a loess wall, entering the courtyard cells, under the interlacing lights and shadows of the stage, it feels as if you are immersed in the long history of Henan. This is a collision with history, and even more, a dialogue with civilization.

Come to the Henan Drama Fantasy City for a silent adventure! Wondering how to get the most out of your drama binge? Look no further!

It is recommended to arrive at the scenic area before 10:00 AM, as the park opens at 10:00 AM. Upon entering, the first thing that catches your eye is the massive rammed earth wall of Henan, with wheat fields in front (in spring) or sorghum fields (in autumn). Take the opportunity to snap some photos in front of the grand 'Only in Henan' sign, which makes for a great shot. After a quick photo session, head straight to the earliest performance, which is likely to be at the Red Temple School, a place that's quite challenging to queue for. It's advisable to go early. After watching, you can wait in the bus terminal to catch the second show. After the bus terminal, head to the Seventh Locomotive Auditorium for the third performance. What's next? You might visit the Emperor's Carriage or the Old Courtyard to listen to their stories. Following that, you can witness a person's past life stories at 'Past Lives and Present'. In the afternoon, you can watch one or two main dramas. Li Family Village is highly rated and touching, so you might consider booking an additional main drama. After the show, you can check out some other minor dramas, such as the Old Warehouse, which is a fun spot for young people, as well as Li Family Village Tea House, Su Shi's Henan, and Cao Cao's Wheat Field, all of which are excellent choices. In the evening, you can visit the Zhang Family Courtyard and enjoy a light show. After that, it's about time to wrap up. Head to Qian Tai and Kun Tai for a photo op, and then it's nearly closing time. Finally, take a look at the laser show projected on the outer wall of the rammed earth wall. The endless wheat fields under the light projection feel even more atmospheric. After the laser show, it's time to leave the park and get some well-deserved rest at home.
