Shaolin story The most stubborn holdout in history: When it comes to stubborn holdouts, they didn't just appear in modern times. As early as the Tang dynasty, the Shaolin Temple emerged as such a case. Emperor Li Yuan of Tang issued an order for its demolition but failed. When Li Shimin came to power, not only was the Shaolin Temple spared from punishment, but it also received generous rewards. Compared to today's holdouts, the Shaolin Temple can be called the most legendary stubborn holdout in history. The origin of the matter was an imperial edict issued by Li Yuan, ordering the demolition of all temples within Henan province, including the Shaolin Temple. After receiving the imperial decree, hundreds of monks at Shaolin Temple refused to comply, standing united and resolute in collective defiance. Li Yuan had no choice, as the Tang dynasty was newly established and could not afford to gain a reputation for cruelty. He tacitly allowed the temple's "retention" but revoked the 4,000 acres of temple land previously granted by the Prince of Qin. Later, when Li Shimin became emperor, he granted Shaolin Temple an additional 4,000 mu of land, permitted the temple to train monk soldiers, lift the prohibition against killing, and consume alcohol and meat. Inside the temple, there is a stele titled "Emperor Taizong of Tang's decree to the Shaolin Temple abbot," which records this historical event.

A huge thank you to our guide today, Ms. Feng Ping. Her solid historical knowledge allowed her to vividly and clearly explain the historical stories behind the Shang and Zhou dynasties' ritual systems, diverse cultures, and the custom of "clinking cups and exchanging toasts." The entire three-hour tour was incredibly rich in content.
The overall logic was excellent. The opening provided a general overview of the museum, and the content flowed smoothly between the exhibition halls. Her pacing was superb, bringing the profound Central Plains civilization to life. I felt so fortunate to have met Ms. Feng Ping; she's a perfect museum guide in China!

It combines a zoo and an amusement park. Suitable for children under 10. It has everything, but nothing is done exceptionally well. The price-performance ratio isn't high. At least not as good as Qingming Riverside Park or Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City. The food inside is a bit pricey.

The scenery at Mount Song is fantastic, and the staff are incredibly kind and helpful. During the National Day holiday, I lost my earphones on the shuttle bus. Although I realized it immediately, the bus had already left by the time I got there, and only the next one was running. The driver was very kind and helped me contact the previous driver, who also helped search for the earphones and offered words of comfort, ultimately recovering my lost earphones. I was extremely grateful. This was my first time being at a scenic spot, especially during the massive crowds of National Day, and the staff were still so helpful, demonstrating the genuine kindness and simplicity of the people of Dengfeng. Prices for goods and souvenirs were very reasonable. It was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely come back to Mount Song. I hope more people will see this excellent scenic spot, offering five-star service at one-star prices.

Fantawild Adventure Zhengzhou is truly the top-tier attraction around Zhengzhou! The rides strike a perfect balance between thrills and gentler experiences. Young people can enjoy the Eye of the Storm and Jungle Dragon rides for a thrilling, weightless experience that will have you screaming and relaxing. Families with children can enjoy attractions like Conch Bay and the Boonie Bears Theater, both boasting excellent 4D effects suitable for all ages.
The evening parade features enthusiastic NPC interactions, creating a fantastic atmosphere. As the castle lights up at night, the grand finale fireworks show is breathtaking, maximizing the romantic experience. The only minor drawback is the long queues for popular rides during peak season; it's recommended to enter early and explore in reverse order. Overall, it offers excellent value for money and is definitely worth a second visit for couples and families!
