Puxuan Food Court in Baihe, Tainan! If you want to eat Chinese food near Baihe, you can definitely come here for a walk and a meal. The quality is pretty good! Especially the homemade dishes, it doesn’t matter what the boss cooks, it’s always amazing!

The legacy of the Medical Sage has been passed down here for millennia! From Wuhan, take a 2-hour high-speed train directly to Nanyang, a historically and culturally rich treasure often underestimated, offering a dual delight of culture and everyday life. This four-day, three-night itinerary helps you fully explore the stories of the Three Kingdoms, the ancestral home of traditional Chinese medicine, and the charm of ancient towns. Take it slow, and you’ll understand why it’s a city “worth visiting three times”~ 📍 Four-day, three-night itinerary: Explore Nanyang through its historical threads Day 1: The rise of the Three Kingdoms, Han dynasty stone carvings hidden for a thousand years - Wolonggang Wuhou Shrine (12 minutes from Nanyang Station) A must-see is the stele of Yue Fei’s handwritten “Chu Shi Biao” with vigorous brushwork, as if you can see Yue Fei’s sincere spirit while writing; the ancient cypress trees in the Three Visits Hall and the recreated thatched cottage instantly transport you to the days when Zhuge Liang “farmed in Nanyang.” It’s recommended to join a guided tour to hear the details of the “Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage” story—it’s ten times more interesting than reading on your own. - Nanyang Han Stone Carving Museum (12-minute walk) Known as the “Han dynasty encyclopedia carved in stone”! The pictorial stones vividly depict chariots, horses, music, and performances as if they are moving, especially the “Chang’e Flying to the Moon” and “Bullfighting” images. The simple yet powerful lines make you finally understand why Han dynasty art is so stunning. - Nanyang Prefecture Government Office (18 minutes by car) Visit in the evening when the sunset casts a golden glow on the flying eaves. This is one of China’s best-preserved prefectural government offices. Seeing the “Bright Mirror Hanging High” plaque in the main hall and the official residence layout in the backyard lets you imagine the working scenes of ancient officials. The atmosphere is even more enchanting when the lights come on at night. Day 2: The Medical Sage’s legacy, where ancient meets modern in the new city - Medical Sage Shrine (12 minutes by car) A must-visit ancestral home of traditional Chinese medicine! At the entrance, see the plaque inscribed by Guo Moruo reading “Medical Sage Shrine.” Inside the hall are the “Three Treasures” — the tombstone of Zhang Zhongjing, the woodblock edition of “Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases,” and the statue of the Medical Sage, each embodying the wisdom of Chinese medicine. The stone-carved sheep heads at the four corners of Zhang Zhongjing’s tomb in the backyard symbolize good fortune—touch them to soak up some “health energy.” - Nanyang Science and Technology Museum (15 minutes) A must-go with kids! Interactive exhibits help you intuitively understand the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, like the “meridian sensing” game, which teaches acupoint knowledge through play. Adults will find it fascinating too. - Baihe Wetland Park + Nanyang Museum (visit in the evening) The Baihe sunset is breathtaking, with the sun dyeing the river golden—perfect for a stroll or bike ride. The museum’s landmark building shaped like a Kui dragon-patterned jade pendant houses collections of Han dynasty painted pottery figurines and Chu-style bronzes, showcasing Chu culture and Han elegance. It’s less crowded an hour before closing, ideal for a quiet visit. Day 3: Exploring ancient towns and merchant guilds, discovering exquisite craftsmanship - Sheqi County Shedian Ancient Town (45 minutes by car) This “living ancient town” is not overly commercialized. Early morning is the best time to visit—watch elders drinking tea in teahouses and artisans making wooden combs, as if time has stopped decades ago. - Shan-Shaan Guild Hall + Fire God Temple (2-minute walk) A paradise for architecture lovers! The wood, stone, and brick carvings of the Shan-Shaan Guild Hall are considered the “three wonders,” especially the glazed screen wall that shimmers under sunlight. The dragon and floral patterns are so detailed you can see every scale and leaf. The Fire God Temple’s murals are brightly colored and tell folk legends, worth savoring slowly. Day 4: Market strolls and warm farewells - Zhongjing Market (a local hidden gem) Make your own mugwort sachets and rolled mugwort sticks with patient guidance from intangible cultural heritage masters. The finished sachets smell wonderful hanging in your bag. Herbal teas refresh and cleanse, medicinal soups warm you up, and TCM-themed souvenirs (like acupoint bookmarks) are small, practical, and perfect as gifts. - Local lunch must-tries: Fangcheng stewed noodles with rich white broth to sip first, spicy and flavorful Xinye ban noodles, paired with a bowl of warming spicy pepper soup. The combination of carbs and savory flavors captures the essence of southwestern Henan’s local life in one bite. 🍜 Must-eat delicacies: Nanyang flavors that warm your soul - Fangcheng stewed noodles: Lamb broth is rich and milky, wide noodles soak up the soup, served with lamb slices and greens—one bowl warms you through. - Xinye ban noodles: Chewy noodles topped with spicy minced beef, drizzled with chili oil before eating—so satisfying! - Spicy pepper soup: Nanyang’s version is thick and peppery, perfect with fried dough sticks or pancakes for a comforting breakfast. April is the best time to visit Nanyang! The World Rose Garden’s sea of flowers is stunningly beautiful. The clang of the Three Kingdoms’ battles, the Medical Sage’s benevolence and skill, the great love of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and the lively market atmosphere... Here, there’s no need to rush your itinerary. Take your time wandering and you’ll understand the city’s depth and warmth. No wonder they say Nanyang is a place “worth visiting three times”~

[Visiting Wanshisan and only taking photos of the ancient street? You're missing out! Seven "living folk customs of Nanyang" are hidden within the blue bricks—steaming and embroidery are the soul of old Nanyang!] Don't just take photos of the lantern wall at Wanshisan! This alley, a "living fossil of Nanyang folk customs," hides a warmth and vibrancy even more comforting than the gray tiles—watch "Da Diao Quzi" (a type of folk opera) in the old teahouse; the stringed instrument plays, and the artist sings "Zhuge Liang Mourns His Wife," the banhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) mingling with the clinking of teacups; learn to "steam yellow millet cake" with an auntie, the yellow millet pounded into a sticky paste in a stone mortar, sprinkled with osmanthus sugar, she says, "This stickiness is like the way Nanyang people live—sticking together"; you can even squat in the embroidery workshop watching "Tussah silk embroidery," silver needles embroidering rose patterns on homespun cloth, the old woman says, "This craft could be exchanged for a load of rice during the Republic of China era." 📍Must-Visit Folk Customs List of Wanshisan (Reviewed and Tested by Ctrip Users) 1. Interactive Musical Performance (Da Diao Qu) Recommendation Index: ★★★★★ | 1 Hour Duration An elderly artist wearing a melon-shaped hat teaches you how to "play the clapper": "The rhythm must be steady, like the water of the Baihe River flowing slowly." Follow along while playing the clapper and learn to sing "The Young Couple Carrying Water." When you sing "The water of Nanyang is as sweet as honey," everyone in the teahouse joins in. After singing, you can drink a bowl of "Fucha" tea. The tea soup in the rough porcelain bowl has a slightly burnt aroma. The artist says, "This song paired with this tea is more and more delicious the more you savor it." 👉Ctrip Booking Tips: Buy the "Listen to Music + Learn to Sing" package and save 20 yuan. The 3 pm session has a "request song" segment where you can request "Nanyang Pass." The elderly artist sings it with more energy than the recording. 2. Yellow Millet Cake Making Experience Recommendation Index ★★★★☆ | 1.5 hours An auntie wearing a blue apron teaches you how to "pound yellow millet": "You have to hold the mallet high so that it hits hard enough to make the millet stick together." Swinging the mallet to pound the millet in the stone mortar, beads of sweat drip onto the millet, and the auntie laughs, saying, "This is what you call 'sweetness from sweat'." The steamed millet cake is wrapped in reed leaves; one bite and it sticks to your teeth, the fragrance of osmanthus hitting you right in the head. 👉Secret Feature: The stone mortar is an old artifact from the Republic of China era, with "Made in the Guangxu Era" engraved on the bottom. The auntie says, "Millet pounded in this stone mortar is three times more fragrant than machine-pounded millet." 3. First Try of Oak Silk Embroidery Recommendation Index ★★★★☆ | 1 hour An embroiderer wearing reading glasses teaches you "locking stitch embroidery": "The stitches should be like the sand of the Baihe River beach, dense for a strong finish." Using tussah silk, a specialty of Nanyang, a small rose is embroidered on coarse cloth. The silk has a natural pale yellow hue. The embroiderer says, "This silk is made from silkworms fed with tussah leaves; the more you wear it, the softer it becomes." The finished embroidered pieces can be sewn into purses, adding a touch of "old Nanyang flavor" to any bag. ⚠ Avoidance Guide (Lessons learned the hard way by Ctrip users) 1. Don't buy "Nanyang specialties" with fancy packaging! Look for "Grandpa Zhang at the end of the alley" selling handmade sesame candy. It's 15 yuan a bag, the sesame seeds are tightly coated, and it makes a "crunch" sound when you bite into it—10 times more fragrant than the machine-made ones in tourist shops. 2. Don't miss the "free dough figurine making"! Master Li at the street corner can make a "Zhuge Liang" figurine. He can shape the dough in three turns in his hands, and the eyes are vividly made with black sesame seeds. 3. Don't choose "newly built guesthouses" when staying in a guesthouse! "Wancheng Old House" is a courtyard house from the late Qing Dynasty. The rooms have earthen kang beds (heated brick beds), and the landlord makes "sesame leaf pancakes." It has a 4.9 rating on Ctrip, and the main alley of the ancient street is right outside. 🚗Itinerary (Copyright Guide) ▶One-Day Tour (Bust-Out Version) 09:30 Stroll through the ancient street and see the morning market (stalls selling mugwort and mulberry paper) → 10:30 Learn to steam millet cake 12:00 Eat "Nanyang Banmian + Youcha" 14:00 Listen to Da Diao music → 15:30 Try out tussah silk embroidery 17:00 Buy Zhang Daye's sesame candy → 19:00 Take photos of the lantern street at night (red lanterns reflecting on gray tiles, like stepping back into the Republic of China era) 💰Average cost: 230+ RMB (Includes experience + meals) ▶2-Day Tour (In-Depth Version) Day 1: 10:00 Arrive → 11:00 Stay at an old house in Wancheng 12:30 Learn to make "Nanyang Steamed Dishes" with the landlord (celery leaves mixed with flour and steamed) 14:00 Da Diao music interaction → 16:00 Yellow Millet Cake Making 19:00 Watch the "Iron Flower" performance (an old craftsman splashes molten iron to create flowers, more spectacular than fireworks) Day 2: 08:30 Learn about mugwort with a herbalist (Nanyang mugwort is a medicinal herb used to make moxa sticks) 10:30 Advanced Tussah Silk Embroidery (Learn to embroider the "Nanyang Baihe" pattern) 12:00 Enjoy "Spicy Soup + Fried Pancake" (they taste best together) 14:00 Return home with embroidered pouches and sesame candy 💰550+ RMB per person (including accommodation and experience) 🚗Transportation: 20-minute taxi ride from Nanyang East Station. You can book a "folk guide" on Ctrip to hear the old stories of every alley in Wanshisan. 🏨Accommodation Recommendation Wancheng Old House (Ctrip rating 4.9) The main room of this courtyard house features an old-fashioned eight-immortal table, and the earthen kang (heated brick bed) is covered with a coarse cloth mattress. The landlord delivers corn porridge with salted eggs in the morning. You can drink tea under the old jujube tree in the courtyard. It's a 2-minute walk to the embroidery workshop. The average cost is 160 yuan per night. 🍜Must-Try Nanyang Folk Food - Nanyang Banmian (Nanyang Noodles): The signature dish of "Old Street Banmian King," the noodles are so chewy they practically bounce. The topping is beef chunks and chili peppers. 12 yuan per bowl. It's best enjoyed with garlic for the authentic Nanyang flavor. - Oil Tea: Freshly brewed oil tea from a street stall, with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts floating on top. 5 yuan per bowl. A sip warms you right up; it's a staple of the old Nanyang morning market. The soul of Wancheng Old House isn't in its blue bricks and gray tiles, but in the stickiness of its rice cakes and the stitches of its embroidery. Save this guide, book a room at Wancheng Old House on Ctrip, and let your footprints touch the old Nanyang!

too "central," so central that you want to settle down! Haha, clickbait alert! But seriously, the cold in Nanyang in January is like a magical attack, with dampness seeping straight into your bones 🥶. However! This season in Nanyang truly reveals the depth and warmth of the "Imperial Hometown." Fewer people, serene scenery, fresh soups—this off-season treasure guide is for those who know! 📍 Recommended Attractions: Winter-exclusive cultural warmth tours 1. Nanyang Wuhou Shrine - Quietly pay respects to the sages: On winter mornings, a thin mist shrouds the area, making the red walls and dark tiles even more solemn. Without the noise of tourists, you can truly calm your mind and feel the time travel under the "Ancient Human Dragon" stone archway, experiencing the sense of "I was once a commoner." The ancient cypresses inside the shrine are vigorous, and the winter sweet-scented osmanthus fills the air—perfect for photos. - Must-experience: Touch the stone carving of "Yue Shaobao's Memorial to the Emperor" and feel the warmth of calligraphy in the quiet. It's recommended to hire a guide; the stories will warm you up inside and out. 2. Nanyang Prefecture Government Office - Time travel to Ming and Qing dynasties: The most well-preserved prefectural government office in China. Walking through the layered courtyards in winter, you can almost hear the footsteps of ancient officials working in the snow. The withered lotus and accumulated snow in the back garden create a stunning ink painting. - Warm details: Some exhibition halls have heating, allowing you to leisurely view the imperial examination and criminal law exhibits. Wearing Hanfu for photos is a perfect match, enhancing the atmosphere. 3. Shrine of the Medicine Sage - Seeking warmth from the origin of traditional Chinese medicine: The colder it gets, the more suitable it is to come here! Bow at Zhang Zhongjing's tomb, read the "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases" inscriptions in the long corridor, then visit "Zhongjing Hall" to learn about Chinese medicine culture, and finally enjoy a free cup of warming and epidemic-preventing tea—warmth from inside out. 4. Han Stone Carving Museum - Indoor treasure: The largest Han dynasty stone carving exhibition hall in the country. Escape the outdoor chill and immerse yourself in the warm exhibition halls, experiencing Han dynasty chariots, music, and performances as if watching a "stone carving movie" traveling through two thousand years. - Hidden fun: Look for classic carvings like Fuxi and Nüwa, Chang'e flying to the moon—vivid and lifelike. 5. Baihe Wetland Park - Sunny day stroll: If you catch a rare warm winter day in Nanyang, be sure to walk along the Baihe River! Reed flowers drift like snow, water birds flutter gracefully, and the riverside boardwalk is perfect for a sunny walk—this is where the local life vibe lives. 🍜 Food Recommendations: Heartwarming and stomach-warming carb feast The soul of Nanyang cuisine is that steaming hot, lively flavor in winter! - Breakfast champions: - Fangcheng Huimian (Old shop on Chaoyang Road): Nanyang Huimian has its own style, with a richer, whiter broth. A bowl of mutton oil spicy Huimian early in the morning makes your forehead sweat and drives away the cold. - Xinye Banmian: Wide noodles with a chewy texture, toppings include lamb or beef, hot and satisfying. - Youcha + Shuijianbao: Classic street combo, savory and warming youcha tea, buns crispy on the bottom and fresh inside. - Lunch and dinner essentials: - Nanyang Braised Fish: Crucian carp slow-cooked in a clay pot, tender meat, rich broth, perfect with rice. Recommended old shops near Meixi Road. - Tongbai Bean Curd Skin / Neixiang Pickled Vegetables: Local specialty ingredients, stir-fried or stewed dishes carry the warmth of the mountains. - Mountain Delicacy Hotpot: Nanyang is near Funiu Mountain; in winter, mushroom and wild vegetable hotpot is authentic, delicious, and healthy. - Late-night snacks and treats: - Xinhua Road Night Market: Still lively at night, grilled gluten, claypot rice noodles, almond tea steaming enticingly in the winter night. - Tanghe Peanuts: Buy a bag of freshly roasted ones, peel and eat while walking, full of natural fragrance. - Dengzhou Spicy Soup: Different from Zhengzhou style, thicker and richer, a bowl at night warms you to the core. 💡 Hard-earned winter survival tips 1. Keeping warm is top priority: Nanyang is damp and cold; thermal underwear + sweater + down jacket is the basic combo. Protect your ankles and knees—wear long socks and fleece-lined pants. Hats and scarves are essential; dampness with wind is even more biting. 2. Gear keywords: - Heat packs: Bring plenty! Stick them on your lower back, abdomen, and phone (cold drains battery fast). - Waterproof shoes: For possible rain or snow; wet feet are the worst in winter. - Thermos: Drink hot water anytime; hot water is available at scenic spots. 3. Accommodation tips: Choose hotels with floor heating or good heating air conditioning. Call ahead to confirm; some older hotels have insufficient heating. 4. Itinerary planning: Use the "indoor-outdoor combination" method. Visit outdoor spots (Wuhou Shrine, Prefecture Office) in the morning, enjoy food at noon, then indoor activities like Han Stone Carving Museum, Shrine of the Medicine Sage, shopping malls in the afternoon, and enjoy night markets or health hotpot in the evening. 5. Transportation reminder: City attractions are concentrated; taxis or shared electric cars are convenient. If going to Danjiangkou Reservoir or Laojieling (winter scenery is stunning but extremely cold), consider chartering a car or joining a tour, and closely monitor weather and road conditions. 6. Mindset adjustment: Appreciate the quiet beauty of winter. Fewer people means you can savor the charm of ancient sites; the cold makes that bowl of Huimian even more precious. Treat this trip as a "cultural root-seeking" and "culinary healing" journey.

Complete Guide to Nanyang Ancient City‼️ Travel through a thousand years and laugh your abs off 😂 Who says visiting historical ancient cities means just "get on the bus and sleep, get off and see temples"? Nanyang, this "hidden imperial hometown," is truly a treasure mystery box! As a "pitfall expert," I personally tested it for 3 days, with laughs and knowledge flying high. Now, I’m breaking down the guide for you👇 🌟 Top 3 Reasons to Rush to Nanyang 1️⃣ Intense Time Travel, Hilariously Roasting Historical Figures Nanyang is the "imperial hometown," one of the six major capitals during the Western Han Dynasty, and known as the "Southern Capital" in the Eastern Han. Walking into the Nanyang Prefecture Office, I felt like "Judge Bao," wildly taking selfies under the plaque "Bright Mirror Suspended High" (ended up getting a warning look from security 😅). This is the only fully preserved prefectural government office in China, spanning five historical periods including Yuan, Ming, and Qing. At Wolong Hill, I mimicked the "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" in front of Zhuge Liang’s hut, almost mistaken by tourists as a local NPC! 2️⃣ Foodie’s Paradise, Carb Heaven Without Any Misses Nanyang’s food carb power is maxed out! Fangcheng stewed noodles use lamb bone broth simmered for 12 hours—I downed two bowls back to back, then waddled out clutching my belly. Street stalls sell Bowang Guokui, shaped like a pot and a helmet, with a crispy crust, said to be Zhuge Liang’s invention of "military rations"! I got one stuffed with Dengzhou yellow beef, so fragrant I spun around on the spot 🫓～ 3️⃣ Nature + Culture Mix, No Need for Photo Editing At Baihe Wetland in the morning, mist wraps around the ancient city walls. Wearing Hanfu and rowing a boat, my friend exclaimed, "Liu Yifei’s Nanyang double!" Meanwhile, Shadian Ancient Town’s Ming and Qing streets are free to enter. Listening to Bangzi opera under the Shan-Shaan Guild Hall stage instantly transports you back to the Jin merchant era. 🚗 Tested Itinerary (Lazy Pitfall Avoidance Version) Itinerary Highlights Summary Tips from Experience Day 1
Cultural Time Travel Wolong Hill → Nanyang Prefecture Office → Baihe Night Tour Prefecture Office stops ticket sales at 4 PM, don’t be like me and miss out! Day 2
Ancient Town Slow Life Shadian Ancient Town → Shan-Shaan Guild Hall → Handmade Guokui The cobblestone streets in the ancient town are slippery, wear flat shoes to survive! Day 3
Natural Wonders Dinosaur Park (or Laojieling) Dinosaur Park’s 4D cinema is super thrilling, don’t go after a heavy meal! 📸 Top Photo Spots - Nanyang Prefecture Office Main Hall: Low-angle shot looking up at the "Bright Mirror Suspended High" plaque, full official vibe. - Shadian Ancient Town Yongqing Street: Shoot the cobblestone road and red lanterns at sunset, no vintage filter needed. - Baihe Wetland Boat Ride: Wear a light-colored long dress at the bow, side profile framed with ancient city walls, pure fairy vibes. 💡 Lessons Learned the Hard Way 1. Transport Pro Tips: 20 minutes from high-speed rail station to downtown, shared e-bikes are super convenient for old town tours, but don’t ride on the ancient street cobblestones—don’t ask me how I know. 2. Ticket Saving Tips: Wolong Hill 50 RMB, Prefecture Office 40 RMB, Shadian Ancient Town free! Combo tickets are more cost-effective. 3. Outfit Formula: Hanfu + flat shoes (ancient city roads are tough), pack a jacket (Baihe’s evening breeze is cold enough to make you question life).

🌈Attraction highlights: Hansang City is a small city with walls no more than 3 meters high and 2.5 meters wide, battlements, and a stone tablet embedded in the city gate. In the city, there is a mulberry tree with withered branches and a gnarled trunk, which is about 1,800 years old. It is said that it was planted by Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period. The trunk of the mulberry tree is almost withered, but new mulberry trees have grown from the roots, and they are still thriving after several generations. In the Ming Dynasty, the local government built a brick wall around the tree. The city wall is 11 meters long, 2.7 meters high, 3.5 meters in diameter, and covers an area of more than 10 square meters. It is made of blue bricks and has battlements on top, resembling a city wall, hence the name Hansang City. It is said that after Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei swore an oath of brotherhood in the Peach Garden, they stationed their troops in Xinye and invited Zhuge Liang to be their military advisor. Zhuge Liang was kind and loved the people, and he was strict with military discipline, so he was deeply supported by the people. One day, Guan Yu was so focused on reading military books that he neglected the horse tied under the mulberry tree in front of the door. This horse was also very famous, as it was the legendary Red Hare. The Red Hare gnawed on the landlord's mulberry tree. When Zhuge Liang learned of this, he immediately punished Guan Yu and ordered him to plant another mulberry tree as compensation to the landlord. At first, Guan Yu couldn't understand and thought that Zhuge Liang was embarrassing him. But after careful consideration, he felt that the military advisor's words made sense: to be kind and love the people, and to enforce military discipline, soldiers must be treated equally. If one is not upright, how can one correct others? So he personally bought a mulberry tree from the market, happily planted it in the original place, and apologized to the landlord many times. Later, to protect the mulberry tree, a city wall was built around it. 🕐️Opening hours: 6:00 am–10:00 pm 🚗Transportation: You can drive to Hansang City using navigation, or walk to Hancheng Road from the old bus station in Xinye County, or scan the QR code on the red electric bike by the roadside and ride there. 💗Other tips: There doesn't seem to be any city buses passing by, and parking is not very convenient. It's best to park in a nearby parking lot to avoid getting a ticket.

🌈Highlights: Xinye Ruyi Lake is located about 50 meters south of Hanlinyuan Community (Jiankang Road) in Chengjiao Township, Xinye County, Nanyang City, Henan Province. (60 meters south of Xinye County People's Hospital) Ruyi Lake Park is a public project that improves the local environment and provides a good place for citizens to relax and have fun. - Night view of the park: When night falls, the lights are on, and the night view of Ruyi Lake Park is beautiful. The park is full of tourists. The park's landscape is colorful and charming under the colorful lights. - Park facilities: Ruyi Lake Park has fountain landscapes, pavilions, pedestrian boardwalks, and other facilities, providing tourists with a variety of experiences. 🕐️Opening hours: Open 24 hours for free 🚗Transportation: You can drive there. Navigation: Ruyi Lake Park 💗Other tips: The park's basic facilities are not perfect. There are no public toilets, and there are too few signs in the park. You can hardly see the Ruyi Lake sign. When you go there for the first time, you will doubt whether Ruyi Lake is here. There is a Zhuge Book House in the park, but it is always locked and useless.

🌟 Highlights: The Tulip Festival is a very important event for Xinye County, Nanyang City, Henan Province. 👍 Most recommended: The area of the flower exhibition is very large, and it is spectacular. 📍 Detailed address: Baihetan Wetland Park

I really didn't expect that in the ancient city of Xinye, I actually found a treasure guesthouse. The boss is a local in Xinye. He just started running a guesthouse last year. Although his house is not many, they are all characteristic rooms. Like this villa guesthouse, it is also said to be a top-level community locally. The residents are either rich or noble. The boss actually used it as a guesthouse, which is really unexpected. The key is that their price is not high, 699 for a set of four rooms, plus two private parking spaces, the cost performance is extremely high. The bedding in the room is particularly comfortable, soft, and the hygiene is particularly clean, impeccable! I really didn't expect that there are such clean and comfortable, such good guesthouses in small counties! They also have one-room and two-room suites, hotel-style self-service apartments, and it is said that they are all the boss's own property. This boss is really rich!
