Choses à faire à Anze

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！

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.

Nice museum. Very easy to get around. A lot of artifacts and they have special exhibits ok the ground floor. Was unfortunate to visit the museum on a very busy day. So it was quite packed

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

忻州古城位于山西省，是保存特别好古城。忻州古城不仅有优美的景色，还有厚重的历史，更有淳朴的民风。离国家级5A级风景区五台山距离很近。忻州古城的美食很多，价格公道，值得推荐，下次还去玩！

Awesome building, stands out. Unusually, lots of descriptors written in English also which was helpful for me, nice museum and worth a visit.

走进广府古城，仿佛穿越了时空，踏入了一座古老的梦境。这座位于河北邯郸的古城，已有2600多年的历史，被誉为“北国小江南”。漫步在古城内，街道纵横交错，四大街、八小街、七十二条小巷道，处处透着古朴的气息。城内的杨露禅故居和武禹襄故居是太极文化的发源地，两位太极宗师的故居保存完好，让人感受到太极文化的深厚底蕴。登上古城墙，视野豁然开朗。城墙高12米、宽8米，四周环绕着宽阔的护城河，河面波光粼粼，荷花盛开的季节更是美不胜收。沿着城墙漫步，可以俯瞰整个古城的风貌，感受这座古城的历史韵味。城外的弘济桥也值得一游，这座古桥与赵州桥齐名，被誉为“姊妹桥”，桥上的浮雕精美绝伦。此外，毛遂墓、黑龙潭等景点也充满了历史的厚重感。广府古城不仅有丰富的历史遗迹，还有独特的美食。永年酥鱼、广府缯肘、南糖等特色小吃，让人回味无穷。在这里，时间仿佛慢了下来，每一步都能感受到历史的沉淀。广府古城，是一座活着的古城，每一砖每一瓦都诉说着古老的故事。

Only stayed one night. But was still able to appreciate the ancient structure. Late night walk around the shops is a must. Autumn/spring would be a great visit to avoid walking under the scorching sun.

From Yuntaishan, we boarded a bus bound for Luoyang. The journey was long — more than four hours on the road. We left at 2:30 pm and only arrived close to 7:00 pm, which meant our first day in Luoyang was largely consumed by travel. That evening, drained from the ride, I managed only a brief visit to Yingtianmen, illuminated against the night sky.The following day was devoted entirely to two of Luoyang’s most iconic sites: the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple. After exploring the temple, we caught bus no. 58 directly to Luoyi Ancient City. By then, the hours of walking through grottoes and temple grounds had left us physically exhausted. Still, the ancient city welcomed us with free admission and a promise of cultural immersion.Dinner was taken at a basement food court along Minzhu Street. By the time we finished, night had fallen, and Luoyi Ancient City had transformed. The streets glittered with lanterns, music pulsed through the air, and the atmosphere was electric. Crowds gathered near the lake to watch 天女散花 — the “Fairy Scattering Flowers” dance performance — though we chose not to linger.Luoyi Ancient City (洛邑古城) remains one of China’s most authentic living historic districts. Here, 3,000 years of dynastic history — from the Zhou to the Ming — can still be felt in its preserved city walls, pagodas, canals, and performances. It is not simply a relic of the past, but a vibrant cultural stage where history and daily life coexist.

因为带着孩子，所以我们选择坐观光车上下，感觉很轻松。近距离观赏宝塔、合影，了解塔的历史，特别是南北门两处匾额：高超碧落、俯视红尘，1000多年，宝塔做到了。
