Choses à faire à Xingyang

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

When I think of the Yellow River, I picture the torrential spectacle of China’s largest waterfall — Hukou Waterfall (壶口瀑布) — at the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. But here at Zhengzhou’s Yellow River Cultural Park (黄河文化公园), the river feels tamed, calm, and almost unremarkable. I was frankly disappointed when the shuttle bus dropped us at the riverbank.Admission policies added to the frustration: foreign seniors aged 60 and above are charged, while free entry is reserved only for local seniors. We reluctantly paid ¥48 each for admission, plus ¥20 each for shuttle transport around the park.Within the park, however, two monuments stand out as especially symbolic: the colossal Yan & Huang Emperors Sculpture and the Mao Statue Viewing the Yellow River. Together they make the park unique — one anchors visitors in ancient heritage, the other ties the river to modern revolutionary history. The Yan & Huang Emperors Sculpture, towering 106 meters high and carved into Mangshan Mountain, is awe‑inspiring. It represents the legendary ancestors of the Chinese nation, often called the “founding fathers” of Chinese civilization. The Mao statue, meanwhile, depicts Mao Zedong gazing across the Yellow River, reflecting his writings and speeches that invoked the river as the “Mother of China.”Beyond these two monuments, the park also hosts a remarkable collection of sculptures depicting famous figures from ancient Chinese history. It is, in effect, a sculptural encyclopedia of Chinese civilization, where visitors walk among stone figures representing thousands of years of heritage. This blend of natural scenery, ancestral monuments, and historical icons creates a cohesive cultural landscape.For practical access, Bus Y16 runs directly from the public bus terminal opposite Zhengzhou Train Station to the park’s scenic attractions (RM5)

I was initially puzzled when I saw the Erqi Monument Tower rising in the middle of Zhengzhou’s bustling commercial district. The twin towers did not appear as majestic as the famous Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Yet the following day, when the museum inside the tower opened, I stepped in to learn its story — and came to understand that this monument was erected in 1971 to commemorate the February 7th Railway Workers’ Strike of 1923.In February 1923, more than 30,000 railway workers went on strike to protest harsh working conditions and exploitation by railway authorities, halting trains across 1,200 kilometers of track. Warlord Wu Peifu ordered troops to violently suppress the movement. Soldiers opened fire, killing 52 workers, injuring hundreds, and arresting over 1,000. The strike, organized by early Communist Party members and railway unions, ended in tragedy but became a foundational myth of China’s Communist movement.In March 1923, Chairman Mao reflected on the strike, writing that it revealed “the heroic spirit of the workers” but also proved that “without the alliance of peasants and workers, the revolution cannot succeed.” This lesson shaped the CCP’s strategy, convincing Mao that the Party must broaden its base beyond urban workers to include China’s vast peasant population.The February 7th Railway Workers’ Strike remains one of China’s earliest and most significant uprisings, linking the labor movement with the emerging Communist revolution. A visit to the museum inside the Erqi Tower offers not just a glimpse of history, but a deeper understanding of the revolutionary struggle that the monument embodies.

外出踏青的时候，又一次来到了郑州奥林匹克体育中心，过去来这边的时候很多都是在远观，这次特意走近了一下，看着这么大的一个场地，这么大的一个场馆，自从少数民族运动会之后就一直空着，真心的感觉，这是对公共资源的一种浪费。不知道等到疫情好了之后，还会不会能够重新利用起来，说实在的，河南在体育产业发展上面做的还真的比较落后。

We arrived early on the Friday morning and without any hesitation they checked us in. From when we stepped into our room we were treated like royals. From helping us make some nice coffee to allowing us to stay longer. Room was super clean and spacious. Food was divine and the night music was exceptional. All and all will most definitely come back soon.

It was good, wasn’t much fun but it’s still good and worth it.

把动物园和游乐园结合起来。适合10岁以下的儿童。什么都有，但是什么都没有做到极致。性价比不高。至少没有清明上河园和万岁山武侠城高。里面食物小贵。

还可以呀，和朋友一起玩的，挺好的，氛围项目都很好，但是对胖人不太友好，还有工作人员的，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，服务态度也超好
