Cose da fare a Contea di Cao

美丽八里湾～居家这半年里，对八里湾的探索快超过对西溪湿地的探索了🥰，南方有人管理的公园与北方这大气的森林公园还是有些差别，相同的是每个季节总有不同的花朵可观赏，秋冬春夏，从秋风萧瑟到绿树成荫，我也该离开一段时间了～#花情实况播报 #交换春天 #有一个美丽的地方 #那么近那么美

Suggest to reach in in early afternoon for a short trek around the area and catch the sunset. stay for a night to see the sunrise next day. Very beautifu & memorablel views. Great food condidered considered its so high up..

It is relatively an expensive attraction to visit, including foreigners above 65 (as most others do not levy an entrance fee for all above 65). Furthermore, the shuttle from the ticket office to the main gate and return will need to be paid separately. Walking the grounds on both sides of the river to see the grot toes, carvings, temple and garden is easily at least 4 km. There are a lot of stairs if one wants to see the grottoes and carvings up close. I was here in the afternoon on a weekday, but yet the crowd is quite big. It is difficult to appreciate the attraction up close unless one is ready to face the pushing and shoving at most of the significant carvings. One got to have a history liking to appreciate and marvel on the carvings here. Personally, it is a must do bucket list accomplishment for being here. But to have more in depth information about this attraction, I think some professional videographers may do better.

Millennium City Park (清明上河园) in Kaifeng is remarkable because it is a living reconstruction of the Northern Song capital, Bianjing, (Bianjing (汴京) was the old name for Kaifeng), inspired by the famous scroll Along the River During the Qingming Festival. With authentic Song‑style architecture, immersive performances, and cultural activities, the park makes visitors feel as though they have stepped directly into a painting. As the saying goes: If you have not visited this park, you have not truly visited Kaifeng, the capital of six dynasties.Ticket price: RMB 120Senior discount: Half price Transport: Bus No. 15 from the Gulou areaValidity: Tickets are valid for three consecutive days, with facial recognition used for entry.The performances are the heart of the experience. Upon entering, the first stop should be the information counter to collect a brochure and confirm the day’s schedule. Seating is limited, so arriving at least an hour early ensures a good view.We managed to watch the following daytime shows:《枪挑小梁王》 Spearing the Prince of Liang《包公出巡》 Judge Bao Goes on Patrol《东京保卫战》 Dongjing Defense Battle《杨门女将》 Female Generals of the Yang Family《群狮会》 Gathering of Lions《欢乐巡游季》 Joyful Parade SeasonThese productions feature pyrotechnics, mass choreography, explosions, smoke, martial horse battles, and performers in full armor with sword and spear combat. The immersive realism was breathtaking — my heart nearly leapt out when the cannon fire began. The overarching theme of these shows is patriotism, and the authorities have succeeded brilliantly in using performance art as a form of mass education.The park is vast, and at times it feels like China’s version of Disneyland. Yet the focus here is not fantasy but cultural immersion. Walking through the grounds is like entering a living museum of Song‑era streets, bridges, food stalls, and performances. Traditional crafts, lion dances, and Justice Bao patrols connect directly to Kaifeng’s heritage.

很漂亮，很多好看的花，超级适合来这个拍照，看到好多带摄影师的小姐姐，吹吹河风，看到还有坐船的，太美了，今天刚好端午，天气也超好，微风不燥！还有好多体验的小游戏，和自主文创，推荐！

Overall experience is acceptable but I feel lost as a foreigner who does not have in-depth knowledge of Chinese idioms and language. It is suitable for young adults.

Jinan, city of springs is the most famous city in china for their springs. Baotu spring 称为“天下第一泉”值得它的名字。Definitely worth the visit.

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Luoyang was once the capital of 13 dynasties, and the wealth of artifacts unearthed from the city is immense. The Luoyang Museum alone houses nearly 200,000 relics. On my final day in Luoyang, I chose to visit this institution. Admission is free, but I was taken aback by the long queue at the entrance when I arrived at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, even without registering through the online app, I was allowed entry by presenting my passport.The museum is organized into eight galleries:Heluo Civilization GalleryTreasure GalleryTang Sancai GalleryCeramics GalleryCalligraphy & Painting GalleryStone Carving GalleryFolk Art GalleryBronze GalleryChinese bronzes are particularly distinctive. Unlike Europe’s utilitarian bronzes, those in China were primarily ceremonial, used in ancestral rites. Monumental vessels such as the 司母戊鼎 (Si Mu Wu Fang Ding) weigh over 800 kg — unmatched anywhere else. Bronze culture endured in China far longer than in other regions, deeply shaping later dynasties. This is why museums like Henan and Luoyang emphasize bronzes as cultural treasures rather than mere technological artifacts.It is an eye opening trip seeing the artifacts excavated from the 13 dynasties.

A beautiful place to visit, lots of photos opportunities and welcoming people.
