Just opened on 7.18! Anyang Fantawild · Yin Shang Divine Painting | The nation’s only "Fengshen universe," finally a reason not to only visit Disneyland 📍 599 Guangming Road, Wenfeng District, Anyang, Henan | 931 acres | 11 indoor + 27 outdoor | Standard ticket 280 yuan Honestly, as a Henan local, I’ve been waiting a long time for this park — the project was first signed in 2013, went through several rounds of construction halts and restarts, and only resumed last September. It was renamed "Yin Shang Divine Painting" and officially opened today, July 18. On opening day, I saw photos from the site: bronze-patterned gates and Xuan bird totems, the atmosphere… well, Fantawild really wants to do something different this time. 🔥 Here’s the bottom line: is this park worth rushing to? The nation’s first high-tech theme park centered on Yin Shang culture. This "first" really counts — the IP is unique: Yin Shang history, Fu Hao, Zhou Yi, Fengshen, oracle bone script, all turned into attractions, not just slapped-on themes. If you meet any of the following, go without hesitation: · Interested in Fengshen/Yin Shang/IP (after all, two Fengshen movies have been hits, and the park made the Battle of Muye into a 4D ride) · Bringing kids and want a place to cool off and learn something (oracle bone script interaction, AR pavilion, more meaningful than just thrill rides) · Near Zhengzhou, Handan, Hebi, or Puyang, and can take a high-speed train for a day trip on the weekend 🎯 Must-try list (curated) Indoor · cool off + cultural gain Fengshen 4D motion ride — the Battle of Muye scene is made into a 4D track ride by Fantawild, with explosions and a giant screen. It’s one of the park’s highlights. Fengshen fans, go for it. Legend theater phantom show — an immersive look back at the Yin Shang golden age. Three thousand years of civilization presented with phantom technology. This is a "safe bet" in the Fantawild lineup, suitable for elders and kids. Meet Yin Shang AR experience pavilion — ⭐ this deserves special praise. It’s linked with the Yin Ruins Museum. AR scans of artifacts tell stories, so it’s like continuing your visit after seeing the ruins. Coming to Anyang without visiting the Yin Ruins and this AR pavilion is a wasted trip. Flying dome ride — soar over the landscapes of China. A classic Fantawild ride with a Yin Shang skin. Good choice if you don’t want thrills. Zhou Yi rotating magic ball theater — uses technology to tell the wisdom of Zhou Yi. The name alone screams "Anyang." No other Fantawild park has this. Outdoor · thrills + photo ops · Tribal coaster (suspended, thrilling) · Dragon pool rafting (top choice for summer water fun, bring a raincoat) · Giant pendulum / pirate ship (classic but fun) · Dream carousel + corgi ride (not thrilling but great for photos, perfect for friends) 🌙 The "day + night" experience is the soul Fantawild’s signature is night shows, and this park is no exception: · Daytime: Yin Shang NPCs roam the park (including Da Ji and Fu Hao costumes), ancient-style parades, war drum performances, rotating shows like "Fu Hao’s expedition" and "time-travel flash mob" · Evening: mech parades (Fengshen mechs! This concept is pretty cool), "Fengshen mech flash mob" · Night highlight: large-scale live shows + drone shows + light shows, park closes at 9:30 PM 💡 Night ticket 129/159 yuan (varies by channel). If you only want to see the night show without waiting in line for rides, the night ticket with 4 PM entry offers the best value. For the full day + night experience, buy the 280 yuan standard ticket. 📍 Practical info (all you need before you go) Address: About 200 meters east of the intersection of Guangming Road and Baisha Avenue, Wenfeng District, Anyang (search "Anyang Fantawild Yin Shang Divine Painting" for navigation) Hours (summer 7.18–8.31): full day 9:30 AM–9:30 PM / night 4:00 PM–9:30 PM Ticket prices: · Standard ticket 280 yuan · Child ticket (1.1–1.4 m) / senior ticket (65+) 199 yuan, opening special was 99 yuan · Night ticket 129–159 yuan range · Three annual passes available, locals should consider · Free for under 1.1 m (must be accompanied by an adult) Transportation: · 🚄 Anyang East Station (high-speed rail) → Y5 tourist line direct (route optimized and trial running since July 17) · 🚂 Anyang Train Station → routes 7 / 31 direct, both extended to the park since July 17, new "Anyang Fantawild" stop added · 🚗 Driving: Jinggang’ao Expressway → Anyang South toll station → straight on Guangming Road; 2,147 car spaces + 65 bus spaces, free for 30 minutes, 20 yuan per extra time, new energy charging stations available Nearby combo: recommended to visit "Yin Ruins Museum new hall + Fantawild Yin Shang Divine Painting" together — one for artifacts, one for IP. This Anyang Yin Shang set is the full experience. ✍ Some honest thoughts Before going, I thought it would be just another "Fantawild re-skin," but after seeing the attractions, I changed my mind — the "Meet Yin Shang" AR linked with the Yin Ruins, oracle bone script interactive corridor, Zhou Yi magic ball theater — these really use Anyang’s exclusive IP, not something any city can copy. Plus, the Fengshen IP is hot right now, and the 4D Battle of Muye is more immersive than just visiting a museum. Of course, it just opened today, so there will be some teething issues (lines, food, shuttle service — common for new parks). I suggest either joining the opening week excitement to capture the atmosphere or waiting two weeks for crowds to settle for a better experience. ⚠ Summer weekends will be busy. For empty shots, go on weekdays. The park rents power banks at a high price, so bring your own. For rafting, bring a raincoat; buying one on-site is expensive and ugly. Anyang is really betting on the "Yin Shang" brand this time, and the park is just one part of it. Combined with the new Yin Ruins Museum and oracle bone digitization, a trip to Anyang is like half a history lesson on the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This value is competitive among ancient cities in central China. Friends who have been, feel free to share your experience in the comments. I’ll check the night drone show next week and update whether it’s worth the 280 yuan👇 Anyang Fantawild Yin Shang Divine Painting

On a self-driving tour in Tianjin, I took an evening stroll along the Haihe River and captured some beautiful scenery along its banks. Haihe River [hǎi hé] Chinese Name: Haihe River English Name: Haihe River Aliases: Zhigu River, Dagu River Affiliated Water System: Bohai Sea West Coast Water System Geographical Location: North China Flows through: Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Henan Source: Fajiu Mountain in the western part of Changzi County, Shanxi Province Main Tributaries: Beiyun River, Yongding River, Daqing River, Ziya River, Nanyun River River Length: 1122 km Basin Area: 263353 km2 Estuary: Dagukou, Tianjin The Haihe River is the largest water system in North China and one of China's seven major rivers. Historically, the Haihe River system was collectively known as "Nine Rivers." During the Song Dynasty, the Haihe main stream was the lower section of the Jie River. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, it was renamed Zhigu River and Dagu River. The name Haihe first appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. It wasn't until the Qing Dynasty that names like Zhigu River were gradually replaced by Haihe. The Haihe River system consists of the Haihe main stream and five major upstream tributaries: Beiyun River (including Beiyun River, Chaobai River, and Jiyun River), Yongding River, Daqing River, Ziya River, and Nanyun River. Originating from the Wei River, it rises in Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, with a total length of 1050 kilometers. Originating from the Zhang River, it rises in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province (Fajiu Mountain in the western part of Changzi County), with a total length of 1031 kilometers (some sources say 1122 kilometers). Its main stream, also known as the Gu River or Haihe main stream, from the Zibei confluence (east of Dahong Bridge) to Dagukou (at the Haihe tidal barrier) should be 76 kilometers long; from Sanchahekou (or Jingang Bridge) to Dagukou should be about 73 kilometers (some media show 72 kilometers). The Haihe River system has numerous tributaries. The riverbeds of each tributary are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. After entering the plain, due to the reduced longitudinal slope, riverbed siltation, and greatly diminished flood discharge capacity, closed inter-river depressions are formed between the two river channels. During flood season, river dikes are also prone to collapse. The North China Plain thus became an area frequently affected by floods, waterlogging, droughts, and salinization. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the comprehensive management of the Haihe River, the situation has changed. The Haihe River Basin generally includes the Haihe and Luanhe River systems. The total basin area is 317,753 square kilometers, accounting for 3.3% of the national total area. Specifically referring to the Haihe River system (excluding the Luanhe River system, but including the Tuhaizi and Majia River basins), its scope extends from the Shanxi Plateau in the west to the Inner Mongolia Plateau in the north, bordering the Bohai Sea in the east, and reaching the northern dike of the Yellow River in the south. The basin area is 263,353 square kilometers (according to "Haihe Zhi") or 263,631 square kilometers (according to "Hebei Province Zhi").

Attraction Breakdown | A Simple & Beautiful Route in Nanle 1️⃣ Nanle County Cangjie Mausoleum Museum 📍 Address: Nanle County, Puyang City ⏰ Opening Hours: 09:00-17:00 We recommend starting your first stop at the Cangjie Mausoleum Museum. It holds a profound historical heritage. Legend has it that Cangjie invented Chinese characters, and this mausoleum and museum bear witness to the origin of writing. The museum houses a large number of unearthed artifacts and historical stone steles. It's the perfect place to slow down, converse with ancient civilization, and let your mind settle into contemplating the eternal question: "What do I truly need?" 2️⃣ Nanle County Cultural Center (Gujinlou Town Branch) 📍 Address: About 170 meters southwest of Gujinlou Township No. 1 Middle School, Jinle Road, Nanle County, Puyang City The cultural center is tucked away in a corner of the town, with the faint scent of ink from books and paintings filling the air. Viewing exhibitions and browsing local documents here feels like decluttering a complicated life. Highly recommended for a short sit-down to let your thoughts stretch out in the quiet and "filter out the noise" from daily life. 3️⃣ Majia River National Wetland Park 📍 Address: S301 (Xingyuan Bridge), Nanle County, Puyang City, Henan Province ⏰ Open all day, year-round Whether it's mountain views, grassy meadows, or expansive outdoor vistas under a sunny sky, the wetland park has you covered. Take a deep breath of the morning grassy scent, hike along the riverbank, leave your earphones behind, and let the wind and bird songs be your background music. The beauty here is very low-key, truly suited for "less is more" travelers—not for checking in on social media, but for recharging yourself. 4️⃣ Qiang Chu Ru Long (Baijia Shopping Center Branch) 📍 Address: About 110 meters northwest of Tailong Xincun Residential Community, Yihang Road, Nanle County, Puyang City After a day of exploring, you must try the local snacks. Although this "Qiang Chu Ru Long" is located in a shopping center, it's a food hub certified by the locals of Nanle. Don't be intimidated by its name; it offers a variety of signature noodle soups and stir-fried deli dishes with great value for money. It’s perfect for grabbing a glutinous rice chicken on the go or chatting over a meal with friends. Traveling is all about knowing how to treat your taste buds. Practical Tips & Authentic Reflections Although Nanle is a small city, transportation between attractions is quite convenient. You can easily spend a day exploring by walking and taking taxis. In fact, the purest form of travel is a "subtractive" journey. You don't need a suitcase stuffed with "just in case" items; sometimes, the confusion that a single bag can't solve can be fixed by a getaway where you let go of your attachments. Don't fear the unknown road ahead. This peaceful small city will give you a warm response—perhaps a beam of sunlight in the park, a quietly shining piece of history in a museum corner, or simply a bowl of hot soup in a small shop. Transportation Guide After arriving in Puyang by high-speed rail or long-distance bus, it takes about 30-40 minutes by taxi to reach the main urban area of Nanle. The attractions are not far from each other, so taking a taxi or renting a bike is recommended for a relaxed and leisurely experience. Food Recommendations Besides "Qiang Chu Ru Long," the nearby Baijia Shopping Center also offers a variety of local snacks like fried chicken, shumai, and malatang. The prices are budget-friendly, perfect for curing those little hunger pangs during your trip. Destination Suggestions 1. It's recommended to wear comfortable, sun-protective light gear and hiking shoes. Don't carry too much luggage; enjoy the freedom of keeping your hands free. 2. Most museums and cultural centers have free or low-cost admission, making them perfect for family trips and culture lovers. 3. If you catch a sunny day, you must experience the morning or dusk at the Majia River Wetland—it's super healing!

A Hidden Gem at Puyang East Railway Station: This Romantic Flower Wall is Absolutely Stunning! I'm totally captivated by this flower wall at Puyang East Railway Station!

It's most beautiful between 3-5 pm when the sunlight is at an angle. I truly love the comforting design of this convenient station facility! ✨Flower Arrangement Inspiration: I tried to recreate the same arrangement at home using purple-pink flowers (main flowers: purple roses + pink carnations, filler: silver chrysanthemums).

The wind rustles through bamboo tips, Flowers bloom in the perfect midsummer season.

🚪 Entering the Garden The moment you step in, the noise of carriages and horses behind you fades away. The garden is quiet, so quiet that only the sound of wind passing through the dawn redwoods remains. 🌲 The treetops begin to yellow, while the lower parts stubbornly stay green, layer by layer gradually changing—like someone accidentally spilled a paint palette. 🚶‍♀ Walking on fallen leaves The path winds and walking it is a bit tiring, but just right. The phoenix tree leaves start to fall, covering the roadside, making a soft rustling sound when stepped on. 🍁 Occasionally, a leaf twirls down onto your shoulder and then slides off—like autumn gently tapping you and then walking away. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the branches, scattered and falling on the back of your hand, tickling. 🌾 Daydreaming by the lake The lake water has thinned, revealing the stones on the shore, covered with moss. The reeds have turned white-headed, stretching in large patches; when the wind blows, they bend as if whispering secrets. 💦 Water birds are lazy, standing with their necks tucked in on the shallow shore, barely moving for a long time. I sit on a stone watching the water, the clouds in the water slowly drifting by, suddenly forgetting the time—turns out "daydreaming" is the most serious thing to do in autumn. 🍂 Ginkgo Forest The most stunning sight is still that patch of ginkgo trees. 🌤 The light at three or four in the afternoon slants across, making the whole tree glow. The leaves are a translucent yellow, like thousands of gold foils trembling in the wind. Standing under the tree looking up, the sky is filtered into countless small blue patches, light spots falling on your face and body, coating you in a warm hue. 💛 When the wind picks up, the leaves flutter down like a shower of golden snow. Picking up a leaf and holding it to the sun, the veins are as clear as the lines on your palm—nature truly is the most extravagant artist. 🪨 Stone Bridge A girl is sitting on the stone bridge sketching; the colors on her drawing board are even more vivid than what’s in front of her. 🎨 Perhaps the beauty seen by the eyes needs a little more added by the heart to be enough. The water under the bridge flows slowly, carrying away a few fallen leaves and some indescribable thoughts. 🌇 Leaving at dusk When leaving the garden, the sky is ablaze. Orange, pink, and purple blend together, dyeing the entire sky softly. Looking back once more— Autumn in Pushang Garden is meant to be seen, heard, stepped on, and daydreamed in. 🧥 You have to come in person to feel the slight chill in the wind, just enough to awaken you, yet just enough to make you reluctant to leave.
