Crowned as "The King of the Five Sacred Mountains", Mount Tai has been one of China's most famous mountain peaks since ancient times. A large and impressive rock mass covering 25,000 ha and rising to 1,545 m above the surrounding plateau, Mount Taishan is considered one of the most beautiful scenic spots in China and was an important cradle of oriental East Asian culture since the earliest times. The mountain was an important object of the cult worship of mountains even before 219 BCE, when the Qin Emperor paid tribute to the mountain to inform the gods of his success in unifying all of China. Watching the sunrise and catching the spectacular sea of clouds are common activities that visitors engage in. You are also encouraged to explore the ancient sites, engravings, and religious temples to understand the role of Mount Tai in China's long history.China · Tai'an

One of the four major grottoes of China and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Longmen Grottoes are a trove of 1000 years of Buddhist art treasures. Bounded by the Yi River, the caverns are divided into two sections at East Hill and West Hill. The caverns at East Hill contain mostly Tang dynasty (618-907) works, while the caverns at West Hill were cut out during the Northern, Sui, and Tang dynasties and contain the carvings that are most representative of the site. The Buddha and bodhisattva sculptures that inhabit the caverns are carved into an endless variety of poses and expressions of mercy and kindness, while the caves themselves lend a stately and dignified atmosphere. The artistry of these sculptures is truly a priceless inheritance of Buddhist art.China · Luoyang

Millennium City Park is located by the Longting Lake in Kaifeng, a large-scale historical and cultural theme park that faithfully recreates the Northern Song Dynasty's capital based on the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by artist Zhang Zeduan, following the original layout at a 1:1 scale. The park is divided into two sections by the Shuangting Bridge: the southern area recreates the bustling urban life of Bianjing, with taverns, teahouses, pawnshops, and artisan workshops lining the streets, where peddlers with shoulder poles and shouting shop assistants move about; while the northern area features imperial gardens, with lakeside halls and quadrangular courtyards standing by the water. Staff and vendors throughout the park wear Song-style attire, accompanied by ancient music and the rhythmic sounds of bells and drums, creating the illusion of "stepping into a painting and traveling back a thousand years in a single day." The architecture here offers visually striking highlights: the Rainbow Bridge spanning the Bian River replicates the famous bridge from ancient paintings, arching like a rainbow—watching grain barges pass beneath recreates the painting's ambiance. Fuyun Pavilion towers above all other structures with its crimson facade and golden-roofed eaves, offering panoramic garden views. The reconstructed Shangshan Gate mirrors Kaifeng's Northern Song dynasty city gates, standing majestic with resplendent paintings as the garden's most imposing structure. Waterside pavilions like Shuixin Xie, Double Pavilion Bridge, and Nine Dragons Bridge dot the emerald waters in picturesque harmony. The daytime highlight is the scattered live performances throughout the park: "Judge Bao inspecting the Bian River grain transport" unfolds on the water by Rainbow Bridge, "Squire Wang's daughter seeking a husband" brings the embroidered ball tossing matchmaking to the streets, and "Yue Fei unhorsing Prince Xiao Liang" stirs up dust with galloping hooves in the drill ground. Folk performances like cockfighting, stilt walking, cuju (ancient football), and pan drumming are interspersed throughout. Families with children can visit Fun Garden and Great Song Games to try archery, dart throwing, rope climbing, and hoop diving—experiencing every Song dynasty game from a thousand years ago—or dress in period costumes at Square Courtyard to take mock imperial exams. Street-side workshops showcase folk crafts like Bian embroidery, Zhuxian Town woodblock prints, official kiln porcelain, and dough figurines, where visitors can watch artisans at work. The park takes on a different face after nightfall: red lanterns light up one after another, and the streets are ablaze with lights, making it seem like a completely different place from daytime. The large-scale water show "Northern Song Dynasty: Splendid Dreams of Dongjing" is performed on Jinglong Lake. The entire show is connected by eight classic Song Dynasty poems and a scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," transporting the audience back to Dongjing of the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. The performance lasts approx. 70 minutes, and many travelers specifically reserve their itinerary for the evening to wait for this show. After the performance, you might as well climb the Shangshan Gate tower to overlook the park scenery and the night view of Kaifeng under the lights. Dining in the park is also convenient: the snack street and night market around the Dongjing food area gather Kaifeng snacks like soup dumplings and mutton pancake, perfect for eating while strolling; for a proper sit-down meal, head to Sunyang Restaurant, a recreation of the "main shop" depicted in paintings, and try traditional Henan dishes such as soup dumplings and carp with noodles.China · Kaifeng

I searched for her everywhere, but when I turned around, she was there in the dim light. This is the intuitive feeling that the Breathing Light Forest brings to people. The Breathing Light Forest, together with Crystal Universe, Cold Life and other art installations, is a magical castle of light and shadow, and is known as a "must-see exhibition" in the world. The Breathing Light Forest is an important part of the exhibition. The moment you open the door, colorful colors suddenly rush to your eyes. The 360-degree mirror image and ethereal soundtrack make you feel like you have fallen into a hazy fantasy. Countless lights are suspended in the air at different heights, changing colors like breathing.Heze · 1.2 km from downtown

Beautiful Baliwan! During these past six months of staying home, I've explored Baliwan more than Xixi Wetland! 🥰 There's a difference between a managed park in the south and this grand forest park in the north. What they have in common is that there are always different flowers to see each season. From autumn to winter to spring, from the bleak autumn winds to the lush greenery, it's time for me to leave for a while. #FlowerLiveReport #SpringExchange #ABeautifulPlace #SoCloseSoBeautiful

Super easy to climb! It's great for both experienced hikers and those with less stamina. My parents took the cable car and bus, while I took the bus and climbed. Everyone was happy! The only downside is that going too early can result in fog. If it's not a holiday, don't go too early; consider going after 9:00 AM. Once you're on the mountain, the fog will start to dissipate after 12:00 PM.

Teacher Liang was already waiting for us at the meeting point and thoughtfully provided detailed directions, making it easy for us to find the meeting point. During the tour of Baiyuan/Longmen Grottoes, through professional content, simple explanations, and the aid of pictures, she gave us a different understanding of Bai Juyi and Longmen Grottoes than what we had learned in books. She worked tirelessly for the entire four hours without a break (and even went overtime to explain things to us, tourists from other places, so that we could learn more). At the end, Teacher Liang specifically mentioned that the protection of cultural relics is closely related to the country's national strength. She said that every cave and every Buddha in Longmen Grottoes is telling us, the descendants, stories from thousands of years ago. My wife and I completely agreed. It was truly an honor to have such a good guide.

This attraction is in the city center, which is very convenient. It seems to be closed at noon, so you have to go in the morning or afternoon. The entire attraction is not very large. If conditions permit, it would be much more interesting to find a tour guide to explain it.

Stepping into the painting is like stepping back a thousand years in a single day! The Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, a Song Dynasty cultural park recreated based on the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," offers an immersive experience. The park boasts a rich variety of performances, with "Yue Fei Spears Xiao Liang Wang" being a highly recommended highlight—the equestrian combat is spectacular. The "Great Song Dynasty: A Dream of Bianjing" live-action performance is breathtaking and beautiful. Actors in Song Dynasty costumes are everywhere on the streets, carrying loads, hawking goods, and performing acrobatics, making you feel like you've stepped into a living ancient painting. The streets, alleys, Rainbow Bridge, and Bian River are all faithfully recreated, making it perfect for introducing children to the history of Northern Song Dynasty life. The only downside is the crowds during holidays; arrive early to secure a spot at popular performances. A visit to the garden can easily take up half a day—a must-do when in Kaifeng!

The Jiluyu Memorial Hall, whose full name is the Jiluyu Border Revolutionary Memorial Hall, is located at No. 1111, Danyang Road, Mudan District, Heze City, Shandong Province. It is a revolutionary memorial hall integrating history, culture and education! As soon as I entered the memorial hall, I was attracted by the solemn atmosphere. The architectural design style of the memorial hall is simple and elegant, integrated with the surrounding environment, and looks particularly solemn. Moreover, every brick and tile here seems to be telling the revolutionary years of war, making people instantly immersed in the ocean of history. The exhibition hall of the memorial hall is very cleverly designed. Through a large number of pictures, cultural relics, sculptures and multimedia displays, it vividly reproduces the magnificent picture of the revolutionary struggle in the Jiluyu Border Area. Here, I saw the touching deeds of the heroic struggle of the revolutionary martyrs and felt their firm belief and unyielding spirit. These precious historical materials and cultural relics not only let me have a deeper understanding of that period of history, but also made me full of respect and nostalgia for the revolutionary martyrs. It is particularly worth mentioning that there is also a panoramic painting gallery in the memorial hall, which is really amazing! The panoramic picture in the painting gallery is 17 meters high and 123 meters in circumference. The painting, ground modeling and lighting and sound are integrated with each other, which can be regarded as the first-class in China. It truly reproduces the spectacular scene in the summer of 1947 when the People's Liberation Army turned from strategic defense to strategic counterattack, and Liu Deng's army crossed the Yellow River with fearless heroism and launched the first battle of the Southwest Shandong Campaign. It makes people feel as if they were there and felt the hardships and greatness of the revolutionary struggle. In addition, the greening and leisure facilities of the memorial hall are also very complete! The square has a large greening area, planted with a variety of high-end trees, and has many scenic spots with rich artistic conception, which not only provides tourists with a comfortable leisure place, but also highlights the public welfare and cultural nature of the memorial hall. In general, the Jiluyu Memorial Hall is a red tourist attraction that is worth visiting! It not only allows me to have a deeper understanding of the revolutionary history of the Jiluyu Border Region, but also allows me to feel the great spirit and noble character of the revolutionary martyrs. Here, I received a profound education in patriotism and revolutionary traditions, and I cherish the hard-won peace and happy life even more. If you come to Heze, don't miss this place full of historical charm and cultural heritage.

It's a fun, novel and shocking place. The children had a lot of fun! Their suspended glass theater and digital light and shadow art museum are very good. These two combined together are a very cost-effective place in Wanda!

Great! Yeah 😁 Great! I took my kids there during the Spring Festival. There are many kinds of tigers, most of which are white tigers, and various animals. I think the price/performance ratio is OK, but there is a smoking session during the performance, which I don't feel very good about.
