Cose da fare a Dancheng

里边环境非常好，还有一个独秀园，很有特色的园林设计。里边的卫生间也很干净。太昊陵上香还不收费，这比很多景点都强，有些景点天价香。

Posto davvero suggestivo , pieno di storia(e di persone 😄) . Spettacolare . Vale il viaggio. Dalla stazione di luoyang longmen abbiamo preso l autobus n 71 e in 15 minuti siamo arrivati.

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.

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.

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 Thirteen Dynasties (十三朝古都), while Kaifeng (开封) is recognized as the Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties (六朝古都). Luoyang’s White Horse Temple (白马寺) is revered as the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism, and the Longmen Grottoes (龙门石窟) — with over 100,000 Buddhist statues — are honored as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Kaifeng, meanwhile, was the world’s largest city during the Northern Song dynasty, a thriving metropolis of commerce and culture.Henan as a whole is culturally dense and historically profound. The Henan Museum located at Zhengzhou is a must-visit, serving as a microcosm of Chinese civilization across thousands of years.I visited Henan Museum on a weekday and was struck by the sheer size of the crowd. Admission is free, but locals must register in advance. As a foreigner, I simply presented my passport, wrote my name in the register, and was then free to explore.The Henan Provincial Museum features one main permanent exhibition, Ancient Civilization of the Central Plains, divided into eight chronological galleries, alongside four themed galleries — Bronze of Chu, Ancient Jade, Treasures of Ming & Qing, and Musical Instruments. Each gallery highlights a different facet of Henan’s role as the cradle of Chinese civilization.I was deeply impressed by the exquisite porcelain, bronze bells and ritual vessels, the earliest pottery, oracle bones and early writing, Buddhist sculptures, and funerary art. My visit lasted about 3 hours enough to take in all the galleries and appreciate Henan’s extraordinary legacy.Article published at TripAdvisor on 20 Sep 26

八泉峡是太行山最灵动的山水画廊，高峡平湖间藏着八股清泉飞瀑，碧水如翡翠嵌在赤壁丹崖间。悬空栈道贴崖而行，俯瞰百米深渊；游船穿行一线天，抬头只见"坐井观天"的奇景。夏日水雾沁凉，秋日层林尽染，每一步都是视觉与身心的双重震撼。

Kaifeng, China 🇨🇳 | A Dream Come True ❤️Growing up, I loved watching 包青天 (Justice Bao) with my mom. Those childhood memories have always held a special place in my heart. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would be able to visit Kaifeng with my own son and share the stories I watched when I was less than 10 years old.Standing in front of the famous 龍、虎、狗 guillotines in person was such an incredible and emotional experience! Something I had only seen on television as a little girl had become a reality. This time, I wasn't just reliving my childhood memories — I was sharing them with my son. ❤️Life is truly amazing. When you work hard, never stop dreaming, and keep moving forward, one day you may find yourself living the dreams you once thought were impossible.Work hard, dream big, and never stop exploring the world! ✈️🌏A big thank-you to Trip.com for making traveling around China so convenient with seamless bookings and arrangements. It made this dream

The Kung Fu performance is a must experience when you visit Shaolin. Make sure to check the schedule for the day once you get there. Be on time as it is very popular and a lot of people are lining up to see it. The place itself is huge and you can spend countless hours around especially if you plan hiking the area, but you can see the essentials in 3-4 hours, taking enough time to stroll around and enjoy the magic of Shaolin. Secure your tickets in advance so you don't waste time lining up. I recommend going from Luoyang as it takes around 1h with a car to reach the complex.

The walk between Confucius Temple and Kong Family Mansion is so awe-inspiring that I did not have enough time to visit the Cemetery of Confucius (Kong Lin). Imagine going back through time 2,500 years ago. This is also a must see & must do attraction.
