2026 Xinmi Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

Less than an hour's drive from Zhengzhou, I discovered a seriously underrated family winter wonderland! By day, it's a thrilling snowy paradise; by night, a warm hot spring haven, perfectly fulfilling the whole family's winter dreams in one stop! ❄️ A perfect one-day itinerary of "Ice and Fire" Morning · Snowy fun: Head straight to Xinmi Xuehua Mountain Ski Resort. It is one of the larger ski resorts in the Central Plains region, featuring beginner and intermediate slopes and a dedicated children's snow play area. Even if you're a complete beginner, you can hire an instructor to learn with your kids—from tentative steps to smooth skiing, the sense of achievement is incredible! Besides skiing, activities like snow tubing and snowmobiles will have the kids screaming with joy. Afternoon · Mountain stroll: No need to rush off after exercising. Take the cable car up the mountain (subject to availability) for expansive views from the summit. The winter mountains have a pure beauty; walking slowly along the trails and breathing the crisp air, you can discover unique ice formations and frost-covered scenery. Evening · Hot spring healing: Muscles sore after skiing? The best remedy is right downhill! Xinmi is famous for its hot springs, so drive directly to a nearby hot spring hotel. Soaking in the steaming natural hot springs under the starry sky instantly melts away the day's fatigue—this is the winter enjoyment you deserve. 🏡 Stay in the scenery: Comfortable lodging near the ski resort Zhengzhou Fuxi Mountain Tourist Resort · Yunding Qiongju Homestay: Located within the Fuxi Mountain Red Stone Forest Scenic Area, this stylish stone house homestay offers great privacy, some rooms with private hot springs, about a 20-minute drive to Xuehua Mountain. Xinmi Chengyude Hotel: A well-established local high-end hotel with comprehensive facilities and its own hot spring center, ideal for families and a seamless rest spot after skiing. Zhengzhou Fuxi Mountain Cliff Hotel: Perched on a cliff with magnificent views, the hotel itself is a scenic attraction, perfect for families seeking a unique experience. Zhengzhou Xinyue Wenshe Hotel (Xinmi Branch): A cost-effective quality choice with fresh, clean decor and spacious rooms, suitable for a simple and comfortable overnight stay. 🍜 Energy refuel station: Must-try authentic Xinmi flavors Skiing is physically demanding, so great food is a must! Xinmi cuisine is full of rustic warmth: Xinmi Stir-fried Shrimp Tails: Spicy, numbing, and fragrant, a local late-night favorite; mild spice options available. Juanjian: Meat wrapped in an egg skin and steamed, tender and soft, loved by all ages. Old Town Crispy Pork: Delicious whether stewed in soup or deep-fried crispy. We recommend finding local restaurants around the ski resort or in Xinmi city to taste authentic farmhouse flavors. 📌 Pre-trip must-know · Efficient play checklist Ticket info: Ski tickets (including basic gear) are recommended to be purchased in advance on platforms like Trip.com, often cheaper than buying on-site. Be sure to check weekday, weekend, and holiday prices. Gear advice: The ski resort provides boots, skis, and poles. Be sure to bring or rent ski goggles, waterproof gloves, and helmets (especially important for kids). Pack extra socks and pants for children as they may get wet while playing. Transportation: Driving with navigation to "Xinmi Xuehua Mountain Ski Resort" is the most convenient. From Zhengzhou, take the Zhengshao-Luo Expressway, exit at Xinmi West; the road conditions are good. There are also tourist shuttle buses, but schedules should be checked in advance. Time planning: It’s best to plan a full day or a two-day, one-night trip. Weekends are busy, so try to arrive early to enjoy the pristine morning slopes. This "skiing + hot spring" power combo perfectly solves the conflict between kids wanting to play in the snow and adults wanting to relax. Escape the city briefly and enjoy a vibrant yet warm weekend in the mountains!

A trip with my best friend is always a balancing act between "crazy shopping and eating" and "complete relaxation." This time in Henan, we unexpectedly stayed at the Moshang Qingju Hotel (Xinmi Quliang Branch), and it brought us both! The hotel is located in a bustling industrial park, yet it's surprisingly convenient for getting around. We rented a car and within a ten-minute drive, we were navigating between ancient sites and vibrant local life. During the day, we immersed ourselves in the historical weight of Songshan Mountain, and in the evening, we plunged into the authentic Henan snack stalls around the hotel. The spiciness of the spicy soup and the rich flavor of the stewed noodles nourished our adventurous spirits. Isn't that what the best travel is all about—seeing the sights while also experiencing the most authentic local flavors? But the real surprise began when we returned to our room. The latex mattress seemed to have magic, instantly transforming us two "bed-sensitive" individuals into "sleeping beauties." The silky bedding gently enveloped us, and we slept soundly until dawn. Before bed, we applied face masks, nestled side-by-side in the soft pillows, chatting about our innermost thoughts—a private and romantic experience unique to best friends. Bathing time is a mini wellness retreat! The hotel's "Caotangjian" mugwort series, with its natural herbal aroma, is a delight. The intelligent system ensures hot water is readily available, and the constant temperature washes away fatigue, while the gentle warmth of the mugwort feels like a soothing spa treatment. We jokingly called it a "travel recharge station." In the morning, we slowly awaken to a sumptuous buffet breakfast, ready to embark on a new day's adventure with renewed energy. Thanks to Moshang Qingju, this trip allowed us to experience both the energy to explore the outside world and the healing power of introspection. It's more than just a place to stay; it's a shared memory, a "home away from home" where laughter is more enjoyable and companionship is warmer. Staying in comfort and enjoying the scenery with my best friend—this is probably the perfect formula for travel.

When the snowy mountains shed the lively bustle of skiing, their other side slowly unfolds. This is a quiet route rarely traveled, perfect for families who enjoy a slow pace and want to let their children experience the pure beauty of nature. You will find that the silence of the winter forest is a more powerful kind of beauty. 🌲 Tranquil Mountain Trail: A Hiking Paradise for Parent-Child Nature Observers We avoided the main ski area and chose the ecological trail area connected to the snowy mountain. The winter forest is an excellent classroom for nature lessons. Tree Identification Game: With leaves fallen, the shapes of tree branches become clear. Observe different bark textures with your children (such as smooth birch and rough oak), and look for bird nests and winter buds left on the trees. Earth Art Creation: Collect fallen pine cones, uniquely shaped twigs, and colorful stones, and together create winter patterns on a clearing. Listening to the Sound of Silence: Stop walking, close your eyes for a minute, and guide your children to listen to the rustling of the wind through the pine forest, occasional bird calls, and their own breathing. This focused perception is rare in the city. 🛖 Mountain Living Aesthetics: Design-Inspired Lodgings Hidden in the Forest If you want to deeply experience mountain living, consider staying at a homestay that coexists with the wilderness. Fuxi Mountain · **Puye Coffee Homestay**: Perfectly combines a café and a homestay, featuring a huge viewing terrace. On a winter afternoon, enjoy a hot latte while watching the distant mountains like ink paintings, and savor the peaceful time. Sanhu Town · Xiaoyoudongtian Homestay (located in Jianshan Scenic Area): A cluster of cave dwellings built along the mountain, preserving the original earthen cave style, but with modern minimalist interiors and ample floor heating, offering a wonderfully warm “cave dwelling” experience. Xiangshuitang · Xiangyang Mountain House: A combination of stone and glass houses facing the valley with unbeatable views. The homestay owner loves nature and will take children on simple wilderness exploration activities. Zhengzhou Fuxi Mountain Aloft Hotel: An international chain brand with guaranteed quality, providing a stable parent-child accommodation experience and an indoor heated swimming pool. 📸 Photography Guide Without Cold Hands: Capture the Texture of Winter Wilderness Winter light is soft, and even non-professional photographers can take atmospheric shots. Golden Hours: The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, when the sun is low and the light is golden, can edge with gold the withered grass and trees. Clever Composition: Use winding trails as leading lines; use dried reeds and frost-covered spider webs as foregrounds; capture the small figure of a child crouching to observe the earth. Color Accents: Dress children in warm, saturated colors (such as red or bright blue) jackets, which will become a highlight against the simple mountain scenery. 🧺 Extending the Wild Fun: Intangible Cultural Heritage Handicraft Experiences at the Foot of the Mountain If time allows on the return trip, take a detour to the areas around Ximian “Micun Town” or “Chaohua Town,” where many intangible cultural heritage workshops are hidden. Chaohua Blowing Song: If you’re lucky, you might catch an old artist’s rehearsal or performance, letting children listen to this ancient court music genre. Handmade Paper Experience: Some workshops offer simple traditional papermaking experiences. Making a sheet of fiber-rich paper with your child is a unique souvenir. This route is not about thrills but about perception. It teaches children and reminds us: the most beautiful scenery is not only at the destination but in every step of observation, every breath, and every moment of companionship. When city life is exhausting, this quiet wilderness is the best recharge station.

Who says New Year's Eve can only be celebrated counting down in a crowd? This year, let's do something wild—stay next to Silver Base Animal Kingdom at the "Fairy Courtyard," roam 20,000 steps through the fantasy land by day, and lounge like a cat in a light Chinese-style courtyard by night! Moshang Qingju Hotel offers you the joy of extreme contrasts with just a bowl of hot porridge. 🚗 20 minutes, a time-space folding trick Wake up kissed by the morning sun, and the Animal Kingdom parade is already warming up. Step on the gas through the morning mist, as if opening a magic door: just picked frost off bamboo leaves in the hotel courtyard, and in the next moment, you’re face-to-face with a white tiger through the window in the beast zone. This wonderful time-space folding feeling makes New Year's Eve an unscripted adventure—you never know if the next second will bring a jungle party encounter or the first bloom of wintersweet around the hotel corner. 🛏️ The “lie-flat philosophy” after a long walk While your friends are posting about the noisy New Year's Eve parties, your travel vlog plays a different kind of romance: exhausted, you collapse on the hotel lobby sofa, sipping hot fruit tea prepared by the front desk while editing photos; dancing barefoot on the heated floor in your room, scattering animal photos across the carpet; soaking in the bath as snow falls outside the window, with 4K videos of hippos yawning during the day still saved on your phone. The bedding here catches all your fatigue, and the piping hot spicy soup at breakfast instantly revives your spirit to take on the wild Animal Kingdom again. 📷 The adorable contrast formula for New Year's travel photos Outfit ideas are already planned: a lamb fleece coat paired with a Han-style horse-face skirt, shooting a cool nine-grid photo in front of the hotel’s dry landscape garden, then turning around to dance TikTok hot moves with cartoon mascots in the Animal Kingdom. The camera greedily captures everything—the golden light on a child’s eyelashes feeding deer with bread, the “2025” drawn with breath on the room’s glass, even the silhouette hesitating over the cherry tart in the buffet. Who says winter colors are dull? Your New Year's palette includes flamingo pink, the warm yellow of hotel lanterns, and the galaxy in everyone’s eyes when fireworks explode. 🎇 Fireworks overhead, warmth in your palm At the magical midnight moment, the hotel thoughtfully provides shuttle service. No need to shiver in the cold wind waiting—depart from the warm lobby and arrive just in time for the castle light show’s best viewing spot. When the New Year fireworks pour down like golden rain, you suddenly remember the coin you tossed into the hotel wishing pool last night—maybe this dazzling moment comes from the arc that coin made skimming the water. Here, wildness and tranquility are never an either-or choice. Moshang Qingju is like an old friend who understands you, handling the logistics of your adventure and cherishing your exhaustion after letting loose. New Year's Eve shouldn’t have just one kind of warmth, and here, you get them all.
