The first day of Kaifeng travel: Gulou Night Market

It was still dark when we arrived in Kaifeng, so we checked in at the hotel and rested for an hour to prepare. We went to the Gulou Night Market. We lived not far from the Gulou, so we walked there.

There are not many people in the commercial street near the Drum Tower at this time

The Drum Tower in the center can be climbed for free. Just swipe your ID card and watch the sunset in Kaifeng. This small town is very lively

I don’t know why there are no stalls in the night market today. I heard that it is undergoing rectification and will not open until tomorrow. However, the stores on the street are all open, but there are no push carts. The snack seller

After shopping around, I bought some fire-roasted vegetables. The seller was an old shop and there were quite a lot of people queuing up

The second day of Kaifeng trip< /p>

For breakfast today, you must try spicy spicy soup when you come to Henan. I found it at a restaurant near the hotel. It was my first time to drink this spicy spicy soup. It tasted pretty good. It was perfect with two fried dough sticks< /p>

Kaifeng Mansion

I heard from my colleagues that Kaifeng Mansion has a welcoming ceremony in the morning. I checked online and said it started at around eight o'clock. When we arrived, it was half past eight, and I didn’t see the performance, so I went in directly

After entering the gate, you can see the wall directly opposite the door. The pattern is carved like a mythical beast. No one among the four people knew what the word meant. The scene After checking, I found out that this is xiezhi. Haechi is a mythical beast in ancient myths and legends. The reason why it is engraved in Kaifeng Mansion is because Haechi is a representative of justice and integrity, which means that Kaifeng Mansion must also be fair and honest when handling cases< /p>

Going further inside is the Yimen, which represents the door of etiquette

These words representing justice can be seen everywhere in Kaifeng Mansion, probably to remind the investigators of their responsibilities at any time

p>

As for the performance schedule in Kaifeng Mansion, we didn’t see a single performance after we went there. After asking the staff, we found out that the actors had gone to perform elsewhere, and the performance in Kaifeng Mansion was cancelled. It was a pity that there was no performance. , walked around for a while and then left

Bao Gong Temple

Bao Gong Temple is not far from Fengfu. Bao Gong Temple is relatively small. The 30 yuan ticket is not worth it, and there is nothing interesting to see. Not highly recommended

Longting Park

Regarding the overlord clause of Longting Park, the ticket is valid within twenty minutes and will become invalid upon expiration. Although I don’t know what the purpose of limited time admission is, I feel that such a request is too unreasonable. Since I have paid for the ticket, it is only reasonable that it is valid for one day.

Longting Park is quite large, and the buildings here are also old. It used to be a place to celebrate festivals or The place where the royal birthday was celebrated, and the emperor’s tablet is still enshrined in it

I ran into a performance here, but it was probably a rehearsal, and I didn’t know when the official performance was. I found that we couldn’t catch the performance no matter where we went

As the name suggests, Iron Tower Park is all about seeing the Iron Tower. The Iron Tower has a history of almost a thousand years. In fact, this tower is not made of iron. The iron one has long since rusted and collapsed. This colored glaze The brick tower is named the Iron Tower because its color is similar to iron. The entrance fee is 30 yuan. You need to buy another ticket to climb the tower. We didn’t see anyone climbing the tower and we didn’t go there. There is nothing interesting to see in the Iron Tower Park except the iron tower. It is not recommended to come. Tickets Xiaogui.

Gulou Night Market

The Gulou Night Market was closed yesterday, but it finally opened today. There are so many snack vendors, so you can eat whatever you want

Kaifeng Tourism The next day

Today’s breakfast is still spicy soup, and the staple food is fried pancakes. This pancake is oilier than fried dough sticks. You can’t eat too much oil in the morning

Daxiangguo Temple

Daxiangguo Temple is the place where Lu Zhishen uprooted a weeping willow tree. The sculpture has been touched and its color has faded. It is strange to say that every time I see such a discolored place, I will feel it for no reason. I want to touch it twice, what kind of psychology is this?

The places I visited in the past two days are all cultural, historical and cultural scenic spots. If you want to come, you should briefly understand the history of the scenic spot in advance, otherwise you will not be able to just take a quick tour. It was completed in an hour

Cultural Festival Opening Ceremony

On the way out from Xiangguo Temple, I encountered the Cultural Festival opening performance ceremony. I stopped the car and came over to have a look. I didn’t make it to Kaifeng Mansion yesterday. I fell in love with the show because all the actors were mobilized to perform for the opening ceremony. We waited for a long time before it started. There were crowds of people on both sides of the road

Henan University

I always thought that Henan University is in Zhengzhou. Only after arriving here did I find out that its main campus is in Kaifeng. The university is not far from the Iron Tower Park, so I stopped by to have a look

The founding history of Henan University can be traced back to the Republic of China. The buildings are all antique in style, which makes them great for taking pictures. There are not many universities with ancient buildings now.

Xisi Night Market

I went to the Gulou Night Market for two days in a row and came to Xisi today. Stroll around the Si Night Market. Most of Xisi Night Market sells snacks. I checked online and found that Gulou Night Market has more tourists, while Xisi Night Market is mostly populated by locals. Xisi Night Market does not have as many types of snacks as Gulou Night Market. It’s not as lively as the Gulou Night Market. After all, the Drum Tower is the center of the city. If you’ve been to only one place, I recommend going to the Gulou Night Market. The snacks in the Drum Tower are also not expensive

Day 4 of Kaifeng Tourism

In Kaifeng On the last day of the trip, today I changed my breakfast to pancakes and mutton soup. The breakfast here is very affordable and the cost is not high

Shan-Shan-Gan Guild Hall

We will return in the afternoon. Today we have arranged a scenic spot. Shan, Shaan and Gansu represent the three places of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu. The guild hall was established by people who were doing business in Kaifeng in the Qing Dynasty. Rich businessmen are rich. You can only pay in cash at this scenic spot. Take it with you when you go out. One or two hundred dollars in cash is still necessary

In addition to the stories behind the guild hall, there are also wall carvings that can be seen everywhere. The carvings are very exquisite. It is said that this carving represents the highest level of carving technology at that time. It is still well preserved

Exquisite carvings can be seen in every corner of the wall. The house is also very grand and grand. The entrance fee is 25 yuan. The Shanshan-Gan Guild Hall is worth a visit< /p>

The last shopping time. To be honest, apart from spicy soup, I really don’t know what Kaifeng’s specialties and special snacks are. I just buy some and eat them on the road. The interesting thing about Kaifeng is its history. There are not many places to visit.
