1. Upon entering the park, first visit the Gourmet Canopy Corridor. The gradient gauze canopy creates a dreamy photo backdrop, and the walls are covered with signs of Kaifeng’s specialty snacks, perfect for sampling Henan cuisine along the way. The corridor is equipped with misting devices, making summer visits cool and comfortable. 2. Walk forward to the Song Poetry-themed cultural wall, filled with classic verses. Wearing Song dynasty-style Hanfu for photos enhances the atmosphere. The park has a character recruitment point where you can rent ancient costumes for free and interact immersively with NPCs to unlock storylines. 3. The giant lotus leaf installation in the park square is a must-visit spot. The large translucent lotus leaves provide shade and a resting place. Shooting photos from below creates a fresh and soothing composition, perfect for spontaneous ancient-style photos on sunny days. 4. Both sides of the ancient street are adorned with red and yellow traditional palace lanterns. The ancient buildings and pavilions combined with the mist system make you feel like you’ve stepped into a Song dynasty fairyland as you walk through. 5. In the evening, move to the river where koi and lotus lanterns light up one by one. The reflections on the water blend with the sunset glow, and the arch bridge paired with water feature lights creates a stunning night scene. Practical Tips: Explore the bustling streets and cultural spots during the day, and save enough time in the evening to enjoy the illuminated water scenery. It’s recommended to rent Hanfu early; the entire park is designed to match Song dynasty aesthetics. Visit during off-peak times to avoid crowds and easily experience the millennium-old charm of Bianjing.

I had the chance to experience a traditional Song Dynasty banquet at Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, and it was definitely a unique dining experience. The setting is the highlight. The entire environment is beautifully designed to recreate the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, from the lantern-lit surroundings to the staff dressed in traditional costumes. It really feels immersive. Before the meal, there is a short welcoming ceremony, and throughout the dinner, there are live performances such as traditional music and dance, which keeps the experience engaging. As for the food, it is more about presentation and cultural experience rather than taste. The dishes are delicate and lightly flavored, which may not suit those who prefer stronger flavors. Pros: ✔ Beautiful and immersive atmosphere ✔ Cultural performances during the meal ✔ Great for photos Overall, I would recommend it as a cultural experience rather than just a place to eat.

I am sharing my experience climbing one of the top 5 mountains in China with an elevation of about 1491.7m. This trek was incredibly tiring, for someone that does not trek regularly. Getting a pole to aid in the trek was a very good idea. You get some balance from it and it serves as a motivator. ⛰️ 嵩山 (Songshan Mountain/Mount Song) My hotel in Zhengzhou to the 汽车站 (Zhengzhou Long Distance Bus Central Station) was a 30 mins walk. I initially wanted to get the earliest bus but I missed it because I couldn’t find the long distance bus station. I ended up taking the second bus there. It’s the most convenient and gets you there within a couple of hours. Mount Song is in 📍Kaifeng (开封), where the Shaolin Temple (少林寺)is. Some people will do two days here but I wasn’t interested in the temple. Tips: 1. The food outside was pretty bad so I suggest you pack something before going into the mountain. There’s an entrance ticket you must buy before entering. 2. There is NO cable car to take you there and down. It was very foggy when I was there in October. 3. Toilets are NOT available everywhere. So plan wisely. That one toilet I desperately needed to go to was kilometres away and incredibly dirty(hasn’t been washed in decades maybe) plus it did not have a wash basin. 4. Always bring wet tissues and toilet papers you will need it. 5. Very few pit stops with food and drinks so plan ahead. 6. If you try hailing a didi or something, you might not be able to get one because it’s pretty secluded. You may want to haggle for a trip to the nearest bus station with the people outside. I had to rush to take the last bus back to Zhengzhou, thankfully I made it. P.S. it gets extremely dark in the mountains when the sun sets so you must bring a torch or else you will be stranded. Would you claim this mountain? #mytraveldiary #china #travel #thingstodo #sightseeing #kaifeng #songshan #mountain #trekking #songshanmountain #mountsong #hiking #shaolintemple #jiaowojiejie #flynhellaswag

Kaifeng Wansui Mountain is legendary! A 50-yuan ticket turns Yanyun into a real-life martial arts scene, complete with fireworks and a small train 🎆 Who would have thought! I bought the 50-yuan Wansui Mountain ticket with the mindset of just visiting a park, but it gave me an immersive experience worth 500 yuan. Yanyun players were so thrilled they drew their swords on the spot! 🗡️ Right after entering the East Gate, I headed straight to the Yanyun Sixteen Sounds boundary marker next to the tourist center. The blue-gray stone stele replicates famous scenes from the game. While taking photos, someone suddenly shouted "Young Master" behind me 📣. Turning around, I saw fellow cosplayers of Jiang Shu and Hong Xian, instantly transporting me into the game’s storyline. Next to the stele, you can get a free co-branded stamp, which really stirred the player DNA! Walking along Shuihu Street, the taverns and gambling houses next to the escort agency are all real-life setups 🏮. NPCs suddenly hand you "martial arts tasks," accompanied by cheers of "Drunkenly Beating Jiang Menshen" from afar. Isn’t this a living Yanyun martial arts world? Midway, I took a 5-yuan small train 🚂 that leisurely circled the Magic Fairyland. Watching the Song-style buildings pass by in the evening breeze, it felt like riding a horse through Yanyun city. When night fell, it was truly legendary! At 8:30 PM, the water curtain movie at Shenzhou Square just started, and suddenly brilliant fireworks exploded overhead 🎇, exactly like the fireworks festival at Yanhu in the game. The light and shadows outlined the ancient buildings, making me feel like I was raiding a Yanyun dungeon. After the fireworks, I rushed to the city fortress battlefield where iron flowers bloomed into a golden sea in the night sky ✨. Hungry, I bought a giant 5-yuan grilled gluten skewer 🌭. The 50-yuan ticket also links to Hanyuan Stele Forest and Kaifeng City Wall. After riding the small train and chasing the fireworks, then watching the live performances, whether you’re a Yanyun player seeking nostalgia or a tourist just here to eat and explore, it’s a total steal. Kaifeng really maximized the cost performance this time!

The palace lanterns all over the street look like crushed moonlight, tangled on the flying eaves and corners, making your eyes dizzy 🌕 That colorful coiled dragon pillar is absolutely stunning—when the lights wrap around the dragon’s body and spin, it feels like you can hear the dragon’s roar any second! The best part is the Iron Flower show! The moment the golden sparks are thrown into the sky, the whole crowd shouts “Wow”—this isn’t fireworks, it’s clearly the “sky full of flowing fire” from a martial arts novel coming to life 🔥 Standing on the lantern-filled bridge watching, even the shadows are wrapped in the spirit of the Jianghu~ Oh, and don’t miss that blingbling crystal corridor bridge! When the lights hit it, it feels like you’re walking on the Milky Way, and every snap looks like a behind-the-scenes shot from a fantasy drama 📸 🔥 Personally tested “Best Viewing Spots for the Iron Flower” (highly recommend saving) 1. Core C-spot: The stone steps grandstand directly opposite the Iron Flower stage So close! You can clearly see the master’s strength in throwing the molten iron, the sparks explode right above your head, the visual impact is maxed out (just don’t stand too far forward, there will be spark fragments). 2. Atmosphere spot: Middle of the lantern corridor bridge Iron Flower + palace lanterns + water reflections triple buff, photos come out with a “fantasy filter,” especially perfect for sisters wearing Hanfu to take full-body shots! 3. Niche angle: Second-floor platform next to the coiled dragon pillar You can capture the Iron Flower, the dragon pillar lights, and the park buildings all at once, with super rich composition layers, and fewer people than the grandstand~

Summary and Itinerary Suggestions · Pure leisure/young people: Spend the whole day (enter after 10:00), focus on afternoon and evening large shows. · Families with children: Can arrange a full day, watch small shows and play children’s facilities in the morning, watch "Three Attacks on Zhu Family Village" in the afternoon, and decide based on children’s energy whether to watch "Iron Flower" at night (it’s loud but kids usually love it). · Short on time: Buy night tickets (entry after 5 PM), directly watch the two main shows "Shenzhou Legend" and "Iron Flower," very cost-effective.
