206***56Kaifeng's Daxiangguo Temple is a charming ancient temple with a history spanning over a thousand years. It was a royal temple during the Northern Song Dynasty and the setting for Lu Zhishen's famous act of uprooting the willow tree in the classic novel *Water Margin*. The temple's architecture is simple and elegant, and the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin statue in the octagonal glazed tile hall is exquisitely crafted. The temple is filled with melodious Buddhist music, combining historical weight with Zen-like tranquility, making it well worth a visit.

M20***79The ticket price is excellent value! We used a three-day pass and went for two days. On the first day, we played from the afternoon until almost closing time. There were tons of interactive NPCs, various games, and a fantastic atmosphere. The night view was stunning, and the food and drinks inside were very reasonably priced. I would definitely bring my kids here if I have the chance.

明明之月The performances were numerous and excellent! The actors had a very strong sense of conviction, and everything from greeting guests at the entrance to interrogating Chen Shimei was captivating. The holographic theater is a must-see; it's well worth the trip and offers a highly interactive experience!

爱旅行的小宇宇This is a really fun scenic spot with excellent value for money. I only spent a little over 100 yuan to get an annual pass, so now I can enjoy myself to the fullest. There are many shows inside the scenic area, and the performers are very professional.

ywlingkongI took a group of friends on a boat trip on the Bian River. At night, the lake water shimmered gently under the lights, quiet and peaceful. Along the way, actors sang and danced softly; there was no noise or commotion, everything was serene and beautiful.

xurogerThe Baogong Temple is a shrine-like building dedicated to Bao Zheng, showcasing his life and deeds. It's small and simple in layout, consisting of three courtyards. The first serves as the main entrance. The second is the main building, the Baogong Temple. Two portraits of Bao Zheng are displayed here, and the third focuses on clean governance. There's also Baogong Lake in the back.

M29***agExcellent! When visiting Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden and Wansui Mountain, don't forget the museum. It has exhibits from the Neolithic Age to modern times, which really elevates the trip 🥰 (the replicas don't affect the overall experience).

Anonymous userDirector Wang Chaoge's "Only Henan"! Without relying on popular celebrities, you created the most moving stage with earthen walls and wheat fields. The tragic scene of dying to leave seeds in the train station theater, and the cross-temporal dialogue between historical figures in the fantasy city theater—every scene is both visually stunning and a spiritual cleansing. You have shown us that cultural confidence is the ultimate form of entertainment.

awu45When traveling to Henan with kids, besides visiting the famous "Only Henan" theater fantasy city, don't miss the nearby Jianye Film Town. It offers both retro filming and interactive experiences, with the immersive performance on Dehua Street being particularly eye-catching and educational! 🎬 Must-Experiences: 1️⃣ Dehua Street is a must-see (remember to buy tickets and reserve your time slot when you buy them). We strolled through it according to our reservation time. The street recreates the old Zhengzhou commercial district, with its cobblestone streets and retro shops creating a fantastic atmosphere. The "Journey Through Dehua Street" performance has realistic special effects. Arrive 30 minutes early to get seats in the middle; there are even stunt performers appearing in the two central aisles – the whole family was captivated. 2️⃣ Film Workshop + Time Capsule: The kids loved the green screen flying and sound effects in the Film Workshop, while parents enjoyed the nostalgic old objects in the Time Capsule, relaxing in the air conditioning – super comfortable! 3️⃣ Live Performances: "The Swordsmen of the Central Plains" features thrilling explosions and wire work; "Battle of Tai Chi" showcases martial arts culture; and the evening immersive performance "A Journey of Drama" offers maximum interaction and stunning nighttime views. Evening shows also include intangible cultural heritage performances like iron flower making and fire kettle demonstrations – definitely worth checking out! 4️⃣ There are also some smaller performances 🎭 like air spraying, which have a distinct northern cultural flavor. You can move around and watch them according to the schedule on the mini-program. The venue isn't very large, and it's not hard to find once you know the map. However, for popular Chinese dramas, it's best to arrive at least half an hour early to secure a seat, especially during holidays. 🍲 Food Experience: We chose "Beijing Memories," where food stalls offer a variety of Henan specialties like Puyang Zhuangmo and "One-Strand Noodles." Find a seat near the stage, enjoy the food while watching the performances, satisfy the whole family's tastes, and relax comfortably. Alternative options include 80 Memory Restaurant (nostalgic style) or Tai Chi Noodle Shop (kung fu beef noodles), with street-side hot tofu and fresh-cut fruit for a quick energy boost. 🚗 Transportation Guide: 1️⃣ By Car/Taxi: Navigate to "Jianye·Film Town," a 40-minute drive. Ample parking is available, making it convenient for families with children and luggage. Taxis in Henan are inexpensive. For those who prefer not to drive, taxis are a convenient way to reach nearby attractions and guesthouses. 2️⃣ Public Transportation: Take the subway shuttle line 4 or the Zhengkai intercity bus and then a taxi. Navigate to "Film Town Ticket Office" to avoid getting lost. 🎠 Surrounding Area and Other Tiles: 1️⃣ A 20-minute drive from "Only Henan·Drama Fantasy City," and not far from nearby Haichang Ocean Park and Fantawild Adventure. Consider staying a few days in a nearby themed guesthouse. The surrounding area is mostly comprised of guesthouses, offering affordable prices and convenient transportation. 2️⃣ The retro costumes rented in the movie town are mainly in the style of the Republic of China era, with some Tang and Han dynasty styles as well. Those who like the Republic of China style can try it (those who have previewed the Jiangnan area and Hengdian Chedun Film and Television Base might not be as interested). The scenes there will produce better photos. Personally, I feel that the Tang and Han dynasty costumes are not as cheap and exquisite as those in Kaifeng and Luoyang, but since we're already here, we might as well immerse ourselves in the local culture!
