In April 2020, tickets for the elderly over 60 years old in Henan Scenic Area were free.

Henan is the hinterland of China Central Plains and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. There are rich natural attractions and cultural sites here. It is the first out-and-out tourist destination. From April 2020, many scenic spots in Henan will provide preferential policies for the elderly aged 60 and above, which is a welfare activity that respects the elderly and loves the young.

2019165438+129 October, Henan province announced a news: the elderly over 60 years old and minors under 140 cm in height will be given free tickets.

This regulation will be officially implemented on April 1 2020. In other words, from April next year, the elderly people all over the country, as long as you are over 60 years old, will be exempted from scenic spots tickets.

This is undoubtedly exciting good news, you know, the elderly have always been the main force in the tourism market. Although there were preferential policies for the elderly in the scenic spots before, the age standards in different places were not uniform, most of them were over 65 and over 70.

This time, the age was directly reduced to 60 years old, which expanded the audience and was aimed at tourists from all over the country.

The regulations also stipulate preferential ticket standards for minors' scenic spots, and give a free ticket policy to minors whose height is less than 140 cm.

There is another sentence in the regulations that caught my attention, that is, "scenic spots built on public resources should gradually reduce the ticket prices." In other words, a large number of scenic spots in Henan are expected to usher in a new trend of price reduction in the future.

There is no doubt that this time, Henan is at the forefront of the country and leads the tourism market. I have to say, it's amazing

There are more and more people over the age of 60, and the proportion is gradually increasing. Here are some scenic spots suitable for the elderly, which are suitable for most elderly people not to climb mountains. You can collect it first and officially leave in April next year.

1, Shaolin Temple

The name of Shaolin Temple is well known. Today, Shaolin Temple has opened branches all over the world, becoming the most "international model" temple in China.

This temple is located halfway up Songshan Mountain in Dengfeng. Although Songshan Mountain is steep, it is good that the whole temple is gentle, and there is no need to climb it. In addition, dense forests and fresh air are also a good place to worship Buddha and cultivate one's morality.

2. Baima Temple

Traveling in Henan, whether you like Buddhism or not, you can't miss the White Horse Temple. It is the first official temple in China. According to legend, Liu Zhuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, dreamed that a gold man had fallen to the west at sunset and sent messengers to kill him. Three years later, two Indian monks came on white horses with scriptures, and then lived here, named "White Horse Temple".

Therefore, the White Horse Temple occupies an important position in the history of Buddhism in China, where the first Chinese Buddhist scriptures in China and the first China monk were born. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has also left traces here, and the title of "Wandian School" is worthy of the name.

3. Longmen grottoes

In my eyes, Longmen Grottoes are the most precious scenic spots in Henan, which can't even be described as scenic spots. This grotto, which took more than 400 years to build, has unparalleled artistic value. There are 2,345 existing grottoes with more than 654.38 million statues, which were listed as world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2000.

The disadvantage is that there is no vegetation, especially sunshine. It is recommended to avoid playing in summer.

4. Qingming Shangheyuan

Although Kaifeng's economic status has declined, as a tourist city, there is still a lot to see here. Qingming Shangheyuan 1: 1 recreates the scene of famous paintings handed down from ancient times, in which all the shop assistants are staff, dressed in ancient costumes, and the life picture is vivid.

Being in it is like walking in Zhang Zeduan's Da Song dream. If you like history, this is a good place to taste the culture of the Song Dynasty.

5. Chongdugou

When people reach a certain age, they should pay attention to health preservation. Luoyang Chongdugou is a treasure house of health care. I have been here many times, with green mountains and green waters, far away from human beings, and 10,000 mu of bamboo forests have formed a closed and quiet environment, with mountains and rivers flowing at night, which is really like a fairyland. There are many resorts with different grades, which are suitable for all levels of consumer groups.

6. West Jiuhua Mountain

West Jiuhua Mountain is located in the southern mountainous area of Henan Province, with a quiet and yet southern atmosphere. Its biggest feature is full of Zen, and it is the largest eco-tourism scenic spot in the Central Plains that integrates "tea, bamboo and Zen".

There are many virgin forests in mountainous areas, with an ornamental area of 120 square kilometers. The tea garden is densely covered with bamboo seas, and the ecological environment has no choice, like the scene in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The drop of scenic spots is not high, which is convenient for climbing and sightseeing. You can also shuttle between scenic spots by car, which is suitable for tourists who like to drive.

Caring for the elderly is a fine tradition in China. The elderly have contributed their life's energy and time to the family and society, and should enjoy their old age. The above is the latest news about the free admission policy for the elderly over 60 years old in various scenic spots in Henan Province in 2020.
