#河南省 #郑州 ~ #丰乐樱花园 Fengle Cherry Blossom Garden is 80 kilometers away from Zhengzhou. The online guide said that you need to take the subway, transfer to the train, take a taxi, and finally walk two kilometers to reach the ticket gate. I was sweating before I even set off, so I decided to take a Didi taxi for 200 yuan round trip. Fortunately, we caught up with the day when the late cherry blossoms were in full bloom. It was so spectacular. In the 5,000-acre cherry blossom garden, we walked only 5 acres at most 😂 In fact, we were satisfied with the photos. #April Cherry Blossom Period #Register for June Hotel Test Sleeper 2025

My dears, I recently discovered a place with super treasures - Cha Cha in Xingyang Valley, which is simply the real-life version of the Zelda world. It is fun and has great films, so I have to recommend it to you! 🚗Transportation: It takes about 1 hour to drive from Zhengzhou city. But please note that there is a rough section of the road when you are almost there, so cars with low chassis will have to drive slowly. If you don’t want to drive, you can take Metro Line 6 to Jiayu Station and then take a taxi, which is also very convenient. 🎫Tickets: Ticket price is 68 yuan per person, 38 yuan per person for children. Don’t be fooled by the entrance fee, it’s actually worth it! The ticket includes a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, which can be exchanged at the cafe in the park. When you are tired of walking around, sit down and have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. It's so delicious~ 🏞️Environment: This place was originally a mine, but after transformation it was transformed into a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities. As soon as you enter the park, the sapphire blue lake comes into view, sparkling under the sunlight, as beautiful as a painting. There are black gold cliffs by the lake, and the unique landforms can be photographed in any way. There is a large wheat field halfway up the mountain (but it had been mowed when I went there), next to it is the rock climbing area, and further up there is a huge lawn and a valley auditorium. Many people come here to take photos and wedding photos, so you can imagine how beautiful the scenery is! 🎯Activities: There are a wide variety of activities here. If you like playing in the water, you can try kayaking and paddleboarding, freely traveling on the lake, feeling the embrace of wind and water, which is super relaxing. If you want to challenge yourself, go rock climbing. There will be professional coaches to guide you, and there will be basic explanations before the experience, so even novices can have fun with confidence. Attention, those who are interested in diving, you can also take the PADI diving certification test here, the price is 3000+. Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth it to acquire a new skill! 🍱Dining: There are many dining options in the park, including barbecue, hot pot, hamburgers, simple salads and Western food, with an average cost of about 100 yuan per person. If you want to do it yourself, you can also bring your own gas stove and gas tank, but you cannot bring heated food and beverages. We brought our own ingredients and had an outdoor barbecue by the lake. It was so comfortable to enjoy the breeze and delicious food. ❗Tips: 1. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes, because most of the roads in the park are gravel, and high heels and sandals are not very convenient to walk on. 2. Remember to wear sunscreen when playing water activities, and bring a swimsuit, bath towel, and spare clothes for easy changing. 3. The number of tents is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you want to dine or rest in the tent, it is best to make a reservation in advance. 4. The light will be better after 4pm, and the photos will be more photogenic. However, if you want to play some activities, you’d better come earlier so that you can have more fun. Xingyang Valley is really fun, suitable for couples dating, family outings or group building with friends. Find a weekend, escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and come here to embrace nature!

The hustle and bustle of the city is like an invisible shackle, making it hard to breathe. Last weekend, I decisively set off from Luoyang and headed to the Shangu Qiaqia in Xingyang, just a 1.5-hour drive away. This trip took me directly from a tired worker to a real-life paradise! As soon as I arrived in the valley, a landscape painting unfolded before my eyes. The rolling green hills were like the gentle arms of the earth. The clear lake reflected the blue sky and white clouds. The sun shone on my body, warm and soft, as if every pore was greedily absorbing the essence of nature. The activities here are ridiculously abundant! I first boarded a kayak and shuttled across the water, the splashing water hitting my face, bringing a hint of coolness. On the rock climbing wall on the shore, people were constantly challenging themselves, making victorious cheers. Under the guidance of a professional coach, I also tried diving and saw the colorful world underwater. The shock was indescribable. When I was tired, I ordered a cup of coffee and a dessert, sat under the parasol, sunbathed, chatted with my friends, and took photos that were full of atmosphere. Shangu Qiaqia is really suitable for all kinds of gatherings. I saw families laughing and playing on the grass, couples walking hand in hand enjoying the scenery, girlfriends taking photos with each other, and company teams organizing fun team building activities. The facilities at Shangu Qiaqia are amazing! There are clean public restrooms and changing rooms with showers, and free Wi-Fi coverage. To my surprise, the water for washing hands was hot! Free parking is available in the surrounding open space, without any burden. In terms of catering, I brought a cassette stove and a gas tank, and had a barbecue with my friends, which was a lot of fun. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can order barbecue, burgers, and salads on site, averaging CNY 100+ per person. This trip to Shangu Qiaqia not only took me away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also made me feel the healing power of nature. Every moment made me feel that life should be so pure and beautiful. Everyone, you can really go for it!

The scenic area is now the dividing point between the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, and it is also an excellent location to view the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of the Yellow River! (1) Peach Blossom Valley According to the "Records of Xingyang County": "There are many peach groves on both sides of this place. In March of spring, visitors are dazzled by them." Therefore, it was named "Peach Blossom Valley." There is also a statue of the "Peach Blossom Fairy" here, and a touching legend: It is said that when the True Martial Emperor was practicing in the snowy mountains, he cut open his stomach with the戒刀 (jie dao - a type of saber) he carried with him, and washed his internal organs and intestines. While washing, he fainted! When he woke up, he had become an immortal. And the jie dao he left behind, after hundreds of years of cultivation, also transformed into two immortal bodies, one yin and one yang. The jie dao was the yang body, and the scabbard was the yin body. Not long after, the Queen Mother summoned the jie dao to heaven to be a celestial official, but the scabbard was unwilling to go to heaven, so it followed the Yellow River to this place and stayed here, becoming the local: "Peach Blossom Fairy"! Because of the care of the heavens, the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Valley bloom very brightly every year. (2) Boundary Marker The Sanhuangshan area, as the junction of the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, has many loess hills, loess piles, and distinct loess beams, loess mounds (mao), loess pillars, loess walls, and loess cave landforms.

Donglin Temple is located in Donglin Village, Jiayu Town, Xingyang City, 18 km southwest of Zhengzhou City.

The spring sunshine ☀️ is just right, and it's the season to photograph rapeseed flowers again. Your outfit is very important. Because rapeseed flowers are already brightly colored, try to choose elegant clothing. You can focus on matching straw hats 👒, necklaces, and brightly colored earrings to enrich the picture. When taking pictures, use larger movements and lively eyes to make the picture look better. As shown in Figure 1, placing your phone 📱 in the rapeseed flower field and using the front camera to shoot also looks great. This angle is about 30 degrees with the phone standing up. You can use your hand or other objects to cover part of your face (because for ordinary people, this angle can be deadly, lol). When editing the photos, I used ⭐🐰, and the filter is Scenery - Dreamy Summer, which creates a dreamy, ethereal feel. The photo location is Gubaidu Fengle Cherry Blossom Garden. Some early cherry blossoms are in bloom now, and there are large rapeseed flower fields to photograph.

You can imagine how high the quality of the shrimps is👍🏻 When I peeled one, I first ate the full shrimp paste, which was really delicious! ! Then there is the shrimp meat. It is the first time I have eaten such a big piece of crayfish meat. It is so satisfying after one bite! ! ! The meat is so good💯 I ate all of this plate in one go😌 Luckily I also ordered a portion of garlic crayfish, otherwise it would not be satisfying enough Crayfish is not inferior to crayfish at all, and the meat is also very firm The rich garlic flavor wraps each shrimp It is recommended to soak it for a while before eating, it will be more flavorful Finally, order a portion of instant noodles and mix it into the soup🍜 Who understands the joy of carbohydrates! ! It was so delicious I also ordered pork with garlic paste, cilantro with sashimi, steamed brain flower, steamed tripe, stir-fried jelly, etc.☝🏻Every dish was pretty good Crayfish is a must!

Zhengzhou Surroundings｜Xingyang Suohe Country Park I went to Xingyang Suohe Country Park in Zhengzhou with my friends by car on the weekend to enjoy the fresh air in the north! The park is not fully developed yet, but it is clean and tidy overall, and parking is free. Many parents take their children there to play. 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive, about 40-50 minutes from downtown Zhengzhou. Just navigate to "Xingyang Suohe Country Park." If you choose public transportation, you can go to downtown Xingyang first, and then transfer to a local bus or take a taxi. 🎈Admission: The park is free to enter, and parking is free. 🌳Scenery: Maybe because it is winter, the whole park gives a sense of coolness. Walking along the Suohe Trail, the reeds on both sides of the river sway with the wind. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there is a sense of desolate beauty. The weeping willows on both sides of the river also have a charm. There are flocks of unknown ducklings playing in the river. The environment is very good, suitable for camping or picnicking by the roadside. 🛣Route: You can ride along the riverside trail or choose to hike and slowly enjoy the scenery along the way. There are several viewing platforms along the way, where you can enjoy the entire park. 💡Tips: Remember to take sun protection measures and bring mosquito repellent. If you want to have a picnic, it is best to go early to get a good spot~ Xingyang Suohe Country Park is very quiet, and the greenery is good. It may be more beautiful in spring or summer. It is suitable for those who want to escape the city on weekends, have a limited budget for surrounding tours, and want to experience nature.

I was also happy to take pictures! Directly navigate to "Valley Cha Cha", 1️⃣ hours from the city 🚗 The road conditions are not as difficult as imagined. Drive slowly in the last kilometer, and the gravel will not scrape the chassis.

Qianchi Tower Scenic Area is located in Shengshou Temple on the top of Dazhou Mountain, southwest of Jiayu Town, Xingyang City. Qianchi Tower, also known as Empress Cao Tower, was built during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1023–1063). There is a legend about the origin of the tower's name. It is said that Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty selected a woman from the Cao family in Zhujiayu at the foot of Dazhou Mountain to be his empress. The empress missed her hometown, so Renzong ordered the construction of a "Home Tower" in the capital and Qianchi Tower in her hometown, so that she could see the tower in her hometown from the capital to relieve her homesickness. Since the tower needed to be a thousand feet high for the empress to see it, it was named Qianchi Tower or Empress Cao Tower. However, the Ming Dynasty stele in Shengshou Temple records that the tower was built to commemorate the eminent monk Dingguang of the Northern Song Dynasty. Qianchi Tower faces south and is a nine-story hexagonal pavilion-style brick tower. The tower is built with blue bricks measuring 0.315 meters long, 0.15 meters wide, and 0.055 meters thick, using a mixture of white ash and yellow soil as an adhesive. Each level of the tower has a corbelled eave, and except for the top two levels, each level has a symbolic flat seat above the corbelled eave. On the south side of the tower from the first to the seventh level, there are real and fake doorways, and inside the tower, there are two separate hexagonal tower core rooms. The original brick pavement of the tower has disappeared, and the foundation is a plain soil layer, with the entire tower actually sitting on the ground surface. The tower base is 0.57 meters high. On November 21, 1986, Qianchi Tower was announced as the second batch of key cultural relics protection units in Henan Province; on March 5, 2013, it was announced by the State Council as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units. On the cliff wall on the west side of Qianchi Tower, there is a spring with the inscription "Jiaobi Spring," which is said to be the place where Empress Cao moistened her brush while writing. The mountain where Qianchi Tower is located is surrounded by a stone wall, which is the "Yuefo Fort" built in the tenth year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1860). The fort is built according to the mountain's terrain, with an irregular plane, and has gates on the east, west, and south sides. Qianchi Tower Scenic Area
