Anyang Yinxu 1-Day Walking Tour Guide! A local’s hidden Shang and Zhou dynasty treasure spot🌿 As a travel enthusiast crazy about ancient civilizations, I finally checked in at Yinxu! 🌍 A World Cultural Heritage site + 5A scenic area, also the hometown of oracle bones and the Simuwu Ding. You can visit the new museum, ancestral temple, and royal tomb all in one day, with an amazing experience~ Detailed address and transportation guide: No.1 Yinxu Road, Yindu District, Anyang City, Henan Province📍 Super convenient if you’re not driving! There’s a shuttle bus at the west exit of the new museum, 5 minutes to the palace and ancestral temple ruins🚌 There’s also a scenic area bus from the ancestral temple to the royal tomb, 10 minutes direct, and the combined ticket includes the bus fare, very cost-effective~ For self-driving, navigate to “Yinxu Museum New Hall,” plenty of parking spaces, no worries about parking🚗 Scenic highlights: Head straight to the Yinxu Museum New Hall! Newly opened in 2024 with fewer crowds and a better experience✨ Daytime tickets are 80 RMB, and the first 2,000 visitors at night get in free (if you miss the free tickets, it’s only 40 RMB). Nearly 4,000 cultural relics, three-quarters of which are on display for the first time, are so stunning they leave you speechless!😭 It’s recommended to start from the 3rd floor and go down—bronze ritual vessels, oracle bone fragments, jade ornaments, each piece holds the Shang and Zhou dynasty secrets~ The 1st-floor cultural and creative area is great for shopping, and the coffee is unique too. After walking, having a cup is super relaxing☕ Then visit the palace and ancestral temple ruins; the 50 RMB combined ticket also includes the royal tomb, and you can finish in 2 hours~ Don’t miss Fuhao’s Tomb! The earliest female general’s tomb in China. Although there aren’t many exhibits, standing in front of the tomb pit gives a strong time-travel feeling👩⚔️ The YH127 oracle bone pit is amazing, with over 10,000 oracle bones piled together, truly a miracle of oracle bone studies🔍 Don’t miss the chariot and horse pits or the oracle bone stele forest, perfect for photos~ Finally, visit the royal tomb site, 1 hour is enough! The M260 large tomb is where the Simuwu Ding was found. Standing there and imagining the archaeological scene back then gives you goosebumps🤩 Other useful info: The new museum is open year-round, daytime 8:30-16:30, night tours 17:30-20:30 (arrive early for night tours to avoid queues)⏰ The palace and ancestral temple ruins are open 8:00-17:30 during the day, and night tours from Friday to Sunday cost only 19.9 RMB, very affordable~ The royal tomb site is open 8:30-17:30, no night tours yet🌙 The combined ticket offers the best value, covering the new museum + ancestral temple + royal tomb, much cheaper than buying separately🎫 Tips: Avoid pitfalls, take note!💡 The old museum no longer has exhibits, don’t go there empty-handed~ Many pits at the royal tomb have been backfilled, and the archaeological site is blocked off, so don’t expect too much, but definitely check out the Simuwu Ding discovery site! Don’t use flash photography on relics, wear comfortable flat shoes, so your feet won’t get tired after a day of walking👟 The night tour at the new museum has an amazing atmosphere, with lights shining on the relics, as if traveling back to the Shang dynasty~ In summary, Yinxu is really worth rushing to!📣 You can visit all the core attractions in one day, ancient civilization lovers will be ecstatic~ The address is No.1 Yinxu Road, Yindu District, Anyang City.

TRIP MUSIC AWARD "Small Town Dreamers"

Living in Shanghai makes you lose touch with the real China. Truth is, many provinces in China are not yet as developed. Henan is such a province-many people still struggle with poverty and arriving there, it felt like I had gone back in time. However, Henan a place with immense historical significance. Henan is often referred to as "The mother of China" because historians say that Chinese civilization originated in this region. During our stay, we visited The Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, the largest and most impressive collection of Chinese cave carvings from the late Northern Wei and Tang Dynasties. We also visited Shaolin temple, often known as the birthplace of martial arts and Zen Buddhism, and watched masters of kungfu practice their craft. In Henan, I got to see a different side of China, and it has only made me love this country even more. #china #travelinspiration #tripblazers #mytripvlog #travelphotography

Top Attraction Recommendations Radisson Hotel Xinxiang International Conference Center Address: Building 1, West Zone, Xinxiang Business Center, No. 888 East Jinsui Avenue Highly recommended! Conveniently located near the highway exit and high-speed railway station, this hotel features modern decor, floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views on high floors, smart amenities, a heated pool, and a gym. A special shoutout goes to the local Hu La Tang (spicy pepper soup) served at breakfast—it warms the stomach and brings a comforting taste of home you absolutely cannot miss. Many travelers call this the ultimate choice in Xinxiang, offering incredible convenience for both business and leisure. Xinxiang People's Park Address: No. 65 Jiankang Road, Hongqi District, Xinxiang City, Henan Province Opening Hours: 06:00-22:00 The premier urban oasis! This isn't just a favorite spot for locals to do their morning and evening workouts; it also features expansive lakes and tree-lined pathways. In autumn, the swaying shadows of trees and the misty lake reflecting the sunrise and sunset create such a poetic scene. Strolling along the fitness trail, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying a moment of leisure is truly refreshing. Xinxiang People's Park Aquarium Address: Inside Xinxiang People's Park, No. 57 South Main Road, Hongqi District, Xinxiang City, Henan Province Opening Hours: 09:00-19:00 (Entry stops at 18:30) Ticket: 37.5 RMB Xinxiang's dreamy "Mini Ocean"! Both adults and kids will be captivated by the diverse marine life. The underwater tunnel and interactive exhibits are definitely worth seeing. We highly recommend setting aside 1-2 hours for a visit here, especially if you're bringing kids along for some extra fun. Luwang Mausoleum (Tomb of Prince Lu) Address: Fenshang Village, Luwangfen Township, Fengquan District, Xinxiang City, Henan Province Opening Hours: Summer: 08:30-18:00 (Entry stops at 17:30) Winter: 08:00-17:30 (Entry stops at 17:00) This is a treasure-trove landmark for history buffs! Wander through the tranquil pine and cypress trees and evoke the regal flair of the Han and Tang dynasties. The well-preserved mausoleum complex features simple, natural tomb clusters and stone carvings with profound charm. There's no need to chase crowded internet-famous spots; instead, take your time to peacefully feel the weight of history. Xinxiang Baoquan Nature Reserve (A Genuine Travel Recommendation) Don't miss Baoquan, a hidden gem praised as the "Crooked Gorge of China." It's suggested to conquer the cliff swing at Yatianxia in the morning for a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the canyon—the thrill factor is off the charts! In the afternoon, head down to the Yulin Dam in the Grand Canyon to splash in the water and connect with the vibrant spirit of nature. The Jianlong Waterfall plunges a hundred meters down, and you can often catch a rainbow in the sunlight, making it a natural studio for photography lovers. Whether it's the blooming flowers of spring, the fairy-tale snowscapes of winter, or the deep autumnal vibes in the woods, it's a place worth returning to time and time again. Practical Travel Tips 1. It's advisable to book a high-floor room with a view online in advance for a wider panorama. 2. Bring a jacket for autumn travel. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Xinxiang is quite large, so an extra layer will keep you warmer. 3. The Baoquan scenic area has many mountain trails, so wearing lightweight, slip-resistant shoes is safer. 4. When touring parks and taking photos of the scenery, remember to bring a power bank—you won't be able to stop snapping pictures of the beautiful views! 5. In case of rainy weather, the Baoquan mountains become shrouded in mist, creating stunning photo ops. However, it's recommended to pack a raincoat and moisture-proof gear. Food Recommendations Must-try local delicacies in Xinxiang include Hu La Tang (spicy pepper soup), Hui Mian (braised noodles), and roast chicken. If you stay at the Radisson, the authentic local flavors at the hotel breakfast are an absolute must. There are also many popular time-honored snack shops near the People's Park. We recommend finding a cozy eatery after your morning workout to feast to your heart's content and kick off a new day full of energy!
