Mount Taishan
Crowned as "The King of the Five Sacred Mountains", Mount Tai has been one of China's most famous mountain peaks since ancient times. A large and impressive rock mass covering 25,000 ha and rising to 1,545 m above the surrounding plateau, Mount Taishan is considered one of the most beautiful scenic spots in China and was an important cradle of oriental East Asian culture since the earliest times. The mountain was an important object of the cult worship of mountains even before 219 BCE, when the Qin Emperor paid tribute to the mountain to inform the gods of his success in unifying all of China. Watching the sunrise and catching the spectacular sea of clouds are common activities that visitors engage in. You are also encouraged to explore the ancient sites, engravings, and religious temples to understand the role of Mount Tai in China's long history.China · Tai'an
Longmen Grottoes
One of the four major grottoes of China and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Longmen Grottoes are a trove of 1000 years of Buddhist art treasures. Bounded by the Yi River, the caverns are divided into two sections at East Hill and West Hill. The caverns at East Hill contain mostly Tang dynasty (618-907) works, while the caverns at West Hill were cut out during the Northern, Sui, and Tang dynasties and contain the carvings that are most representative of the site. The Buddha and bodhisattva sculptures that inhabit the caverns are carved into an endless variety of poses and expressions of mercy and kindness, while the caves themselves lend a stately and dignified atmosphere. The artistry of these sculptures is truly a priceless inheritance of Buddhist art.China · Luoyang
Millennium City Park
Millennium City Park is located by the Longting Lake in Kaifeng, a large-scale historical and cultural theme park that faithfully recreates the Northern Song Dynasty's capital based on the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by artist Zhang Zeduan, following the original layout at a 1:1 scale. The park is divided into two sections by the Shuangting Bridge: the southern area recreates the bustling urban life of Bianjing, with taverns, teahouses, pawnshops, and artisan workshops lining the streets, where peddlers with shoulder poles and shouting shop assistants move about; while the northern area features imperial gardens, with lakeside halls and quadrangular courtyards standing by the water. Staff and vendors throughout the park wear Song-style attire, accompanied by ancient music and the rhythmic sounds of bells and drums, creating the illusion of "stepping into a painting and traveling back a thousand years in a single day." The architecture here offers visually striking highlights: the Rainbow Bridge spanning the Bian River replicates the famous bridge from ancient paintings, arching like a rainbow—watching grain barges pass beneath recreates the painting's ambiance. Fuyun Pavilion towers above all other structures with its crimson facade and golden-roofed eaves, offering panoramic garden views. The reconstructed Shangshan Gate mirrors Kaifeng's Northern Song dynasty city gates, standing majestic with resplendent paintings as the garden's most imposing structure. Waterside pavilions like Shuixin Xie, Double Pavilion Bridge, and Nine Dragons Bridge dot the emerald waters in picturesque harmony. The daytime highlight is the scattered live performances throughout the park: "Judge Bao inspecting the Bian River grain transport" unfolds on the water by Rainbow Bridge, "Squire Wang's daughter seeking a husband" brings the embroidered ball tossing matchmaking to the streets, and "Yue Fei unhorsing Prince Xiao Liang" stirs up dust with galloping hooves in the drill ground. Folk performances like cockfighting, stilt walking, cuju (ancient football), and pan drumming are interspersed throughout. Families with children can visit Fun Garden and Great Song Games to try archery, dart throwing, rope climbing, and hoop diving—experiencing every Song dynasty game from a thousand years ago—or dress in period costumes at Square Courtyard to take mock imperial exams. Street-side workshops showcase folk crafts like Bian embroidery, Zhuxian Town woodblock prints, official kiln porcelain, and dough figurines, where visitors can watch artisans at work. The park takes on a different face after nightfall: red lanterns light up one after another, and the streets are ablaze with lights, making it seem like a completely different place from daytime. The large-scale water show "Northern Song Dynasty: Splendid Dreams of Dongjing" is performed on Jinglong Lake. The entire show is connected by eight classic Song Dynasty poems and a scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," transporting the audience back to Dongjing of the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. The performance lasts approx. 70 minutes, and many travelers specifically reserve their itinerary for the evening to wait for this show. After the performance, you might as well climb the Shangshan Gate tower to overlook the park scenery and the night view of Kaifeng under the lights. Dining in the park is also convenient: the snack street and night market around the Dongjing food area gather Kaifeng snacks like soup dumplings and mutton pancake, perfect for eating while strolling; for a proper sit-down meal, head to Sunyang Restaurant, a recreation of the "main shop" depicted in paintings, and try traditional Henan dishes such as soup dumplings and carp with noodles.China · Kaifeng

Arriving at the cable car station at 9 AM, there was a very long queue, mostly senior citizen tour groups. Descending the mountain around noon was much better; there was no need to queue. Overall, it was fantastic! Everyone should definitely travel during off-peak times.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars! Superb! Completely exceeded expectations. A must-see live-action performance in Kaifeng!
I had long heard of "A Dream of Splendor in the Great Song Dynasty" before coming, and my expectations were already very high. After watching it, I was still deeply impressed. It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier water-based live-action performance. Using the lake as its stage and the night sky as its backdrop, it weaves together eight classic Song Dynasty poems to depict the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty, bringing the scenes from the Song poems and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to life before your eyes. The stage design, lighting, and atmosphere are superb. Painted boats, illuminated waters, and real warhorses take turns on stage, creating a grand spectacle with a strong sense of Eastern aesthetics. At times, it evokes the gentle charm of everyday life; at other times, it depicts the clash of swords and the thunder of war, immersing you in the splendor of Bianliang (Kaifeng) a thousand years ago.
The 70+ minute show was captivating from start to finish, with a well-paced rhythm. The dazzling lights of "Qing Yu An" and the stirring melody of "Man Jiang Hong" deeply moved me, transporting me back to the Song Dynasty capital of Bianjing. The cast was stellar, the performances were incredibly engaging, and the sound effects, water mist, and real-life sets complemented each other perfectly, creating a truly immersive audiovisual experience. The ticket price also includes daytime admission to Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, allowing you to explore the garden during the day and enjoy the performance in the evening – a very convenient itinerary.
I highly recommend this show to anyone visiting Kaifeng. It's perfect for family trips or as a travelogue, leaving you wanting more and making your trip truly worthwhile. Highly recommended!

Honestly, the free Eiffel Tower Park was quite nice, and it's the only authentic structure preserved for over 900 years. The park isn't large, but the environment is pleasant. Wansui Mountain was incredibly crowded; it was impossible to book a performance. Even watching Wang Po's performance was a sea of people, three or four layers deep. There were quite a few performances along the way, but they weren't very good. The night view, however, was quite beautiful.

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.
