Only Henan (1)

Before coming to Zhengzhou, there was a push online that "Only Henan" Drama Fantasy City would open on June 6. From the introduction, this drama city is worth a visit, so I finally made a trip to Zhengzhou. After watching Henan Museum, I planned to go to the drama city the next day.

"Only in Henan" The Drama Fantasy City is not in Zhengzhou City. It is in Zhongmu County, more than 20 kilometers away from Zhengzhou. The developer of this Drama Fantasy City belongs to the Jianye Group, and it is said that it has invested 6 billion. My wife has always been the most enthusiastic about this kind of attraction. Reading the notifications, it was said that this drama fantasy city could only be watched in one day and could only be watched in two days. She had booked the theater hotel early. Starting from Zhengzhou East Railway Station, we took a taxi all the way east along Wuyi Avenue and arrived at the parking lot of Drama Fantasy City in about 40 minutes. I chatted with the driver along the way. It may have just opened, and even the driver, a local, didn’t know what this theatrical fantasy city was. From a distance, you can only see the high city wall made of loess, and you can't see any movement inside. When I arrived at the entrance at around nine o'clock, I saw a dense crowd queuing up. There are two entrances, one for individual travelers and one for groups. The temperature is already 35°C, and you can see white mist constantly spraying out from the pillars to cool down.

There is a place to store luggage next to the entrance. I thought we had to store our luggage, but after asking, I found out that if you book a hotel, the hotel will give you park tickets, and they are cheaper than those sold at the ticket window. Where is the hotel? Not at this entrance, but behind this entrance, walking about 1,000 meters, dragging my suitcase on a hot day, sweating under the scorching sun. It's still early and you can't check into the hotel yet. You have to register first, take the VIP ticket provided by the hotel, and store your luggage at the hotel before returning to the entrance. I sweated a lot after walking back and forth, but there were far fewer people at the entrance. The people who were originally lining up have already entered the city.

The tickets provided by the hotel cannot be used for direct admission. You have to go to the ticket office to exchange the tickets. Only when you exchange the tickets do you know that the tickets given by the hotel cannot watch the entire drama. There are three major plays (serious dramas) in this drama fantasy city, namely the Fantasy City Theatre, the Lijiacun Theater and the Railway Station Theater. There are also 21 small theaters, such as the Old Warehouse, the Waiting Hall, the Seventh Computer Room, Afterlife, Light and Shadow, The Emperor's Journey... It seems that it is really impossible to watch them all in one day, and two days is enough.

Now that you are here, take your time and read it, or you can choose what you like. Maybe I arrived a little late, but I couldn’t see the rolling waves of wheat in front of Huancheng. There were only a new batch of wheat seedlings, sparsely showing their greenery in the fields. The clay sculptures in the fields had four large characters in running script: Only Henan! I feel a kind of shock and a kind of national confidence!

Not far ahead, you will come to the base of the Fantasy City Wall. What kind of scene will you see when you enter it? Very much looking forward to it!
