Things to do in Zhoukou

The environment inside is excellent, and there's even a unique garden called Duxiu Garden. The restrooms are also very clean. Offering incense at Taihao Mausoleum is free, which is better than many other tourist attractions, some of which charge exorbitant prices for incense.

Taiqing Palace is definitely worth it. It's antique and has a quiet atmosphere, perfect for calming the mind. The architecture is very charming and makes for great photos. The staff are also very friendly and provide detailed explanations. Walking around alone was incredibly relaxing. I'd definitely come back again.

Mingdao Palace exudes a strong ancient charm, with its solemn and dignified ancient buildings and profound Taoist cultural heritage. Strolling through the courtyard is tranquil and relaxing, and the Laozi Terrace is a highlight, well worth a quiet visit to appreciate the wisdom of the ancients.

I forgot to bring my teacher's ID, so I couldn't enjoy the discount and bought a full-price ticket. It was very convenient to enter the park by swiping your ID card. The scenic spot was very good, but it was a pity that the statue of the treacherous minister in the Yue Fei Temple was removed and it was not built.

Good food, fun and good scenery. I recommend Daji Congee House. The special snacks are fragrant and nourishing. The stir-fried dishes and the multi-grain buns are all delicious. It is especially suitable for families to satisfy the taste of the whole family. Go to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. The incense at Laojuntai Taishang Laojun and Taiqing Palace Niangniang Temple is very effective! It is a place with great cultural heritage. Wearing Hanfu, you can see the scenery everywhere! Finally, go to Wohe Wetland Park at sunset to check in and take a picture of the sunset over the long river! Have a small barbecue by the river! Perfect! Not expensive! ! !

Guandi Temple in Zhoukou is a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national AAA-level tourist attraction. It is known as the "crown of the eight scenic spots in Zhoukou". It is like a solidified history, recording the prosperity of Zhoujiakou's business and the peak of its economy. Come here to experience Zhoukou culture, the spirit of the martial saint, and the influence of history.

Huaiyang's Longhu Scenic Area is worth a visit. It's the largest inland lake surrounding a city in China, covering an area of ​​11 square kilometers. It boasts unique natural landscapes and a rich cultural heritage. Here's a detailed introduction: Beautiful natural scenery: Longhu Lake boasts clear, rippling waters and densely lush cattails. In summer, the vast lotus ponds, covering thousands of acres, are in full bloom, creating a spectacular sight of "lotus leaves reaching the sky, endless green." Boat trips are available among the blossoms and leaves, allowing visitors to soak in the sweet fragrance and capture stunning photos. Longhu Lake is rich in cultural heritage, with numerous historical and cultural sites surrounding it, including Taihao Mausoleum, the mausoleum of Fuxi, known as the "First Mausoleum in the World"; and Xian Ge Terrace, where Confucius was trapped in Chen Cai during his travels. Built in his memory, the simple and elegant architecture offers a tranquil place to immerse yourself in Confucian culture. Abundant entertainment: During the day, guests can enjoy lotus viewing by boat on Longhu Lake, while at night, they can enjoy night cruises. At the Taihao Mausoleum Pier, visitors can experience the ultimate romance of light, shadow, and water, along with a 3D water curtain show and the live performance "Dreaming of Wanqiu." Distinctive Cuisine: Huaiyang cuisine is renowned for its freshness, with the Longhu Fish Banquet being a standout. Dishes like the pan-fried and braised fish and carp soup are particularly tender and rich in flavor. Other dishes include Huaiyang roast chicken, with its crispy skin and tender meat, and the dry, fragrant, and crispy compressed steamed buns, all worth trying.

I came across this place during the flight, so I didn't really go to play. Seeing the introduction is another scenic spot that consumes legendary figures.

Yuan Shikai's former residence, also known as Yuanzhai Ancient Residence, is a national key cultural relic protection unit. Although it is the May Day holiday, because of its remote location, there are not many tourists, it is suitable for a leisurely tour and to supplement some historical and folklore knowledge. A history of the Yuan family's rise to wealth, half of the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

The Ye Family Manor was also a chance encounter. There is a relatively large square in front of the manor, and parking is convenient around it. By the way, there are pig trotter shops all around the square, so you can eat nearby. We arrived in the morning and had lunch at the pig trotter shop at noon. The taste was good, and many locals also ate here. The Ye Family Manor was originally quite large, with three manors, but only one remains. You must ask a tour guide to introduce it. The price is not expensive and it is more interesting than seeing it by yourself. Of course, the whole garden is really not big, so it is not necessary to make a special trip to see it. You can take a look if you pass by.
