【🔥Experience the Song Dynasty for just 100 yuan! Iron flower fireworks explode in the night sky, ancient street time travel with an average of 30 yuan to eat your fill!】 Ladies! I just came back from Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City, and my mind is full of "so worth it"! During the day, it's a world of swords and blades; at night, it's a spectacular display of iron flowers filling the sky. Even the old man selling candied hawthorn is dressed in ancient costume shouting, "Dear guest, come and try!" The best part is, tickets are only 80 yuan, and performances run nonstop from morning till night. I held a sugar painting and watched 7 shows, and in the end, my wallet was still intact! After three days of exploring, I put together this super detailed guide—after reading it, you'll definitely want to book your tickets immediately! 🏯【All-inclusive: 80 yuan ticket for an 800 yuan experience】 1. Iron Flower Show — 1600℃ Jianghu Romance At 8:00 PM sharp in Jianghu Square, the show explodes! Intangible cultural heritage artisans splash molten iron into the air, instantly bursting into golden meteor showers, ten times more stunning than fireworks! I squeezed into the front row, and iron flower fragments fell on my hair like a star crown. I already planned my social media caption: "Tonight, I caught the Milky Way of the Song Dynasty." A little secret: after the show, you can take photos with the artisans, and they will even give you a piece of "iron flower fragment" as a souvenir! 2. Martial Arts Live Drama — Immersive Swordplay Scene Performances start daily at 10:30 AM, 3:00 PM, and 7:30 PM at the city gate tower! In "Three Attacks on Zhu Family Village," actors really ride horses and fight; when torches light the village gate, the heat waves hit your face. The snow effect in "Lin Chong’s Night Escape" is super realistic—I was squatting in the snow pile eating roasted sweet potatoes when the "official soldiers" pulled me in as an extra! The highlight is "Martial Arts Championship," where the audience can go on stage to learn the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms." I tried the "Regretful Dragon" move and ended up falling into a haystack, and the whole audience applauded! 3. Quyi Teahouse — Listen to Jianghu Stories for 5 Yuan Tea At 11:00 AM in the "Happy Forest" teahouse, a 10 yuan cup of chrysanthemum tea lets you listen to two hours of Henan Zhuizi storytelling! The storyteller taps the wooden clapper telling "The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants." I was recording videos on my phone when a fellow guest threw me a handful of peanuts: "Young lady, this bundle is for you!" In the corner of the teahouse, there’s a "fortune-telling stall" where 10 yuan can get your "Jianghu fortune" read. I drew the "Chivalrous and Tender" lot, and the owner said, "Miss, you will surely meet your true love!" 🍜【Foodie Jianghu: 30 yuan to eat all Song Dynasty delicacies】 1. Wu Dalang’s Steamed Cake — 3 yuan for a filling Jianghu snack Find this "internet-famous stall" at the east entrance of the ancient street. The freshly baked steamed cake is crispy outside and tender inside; with spicy sauce, it tastes as fierce as Wu Song fighting the tiger! When buying, say the code phrase "Is Pan Jinlian home?" and the vendor will stuff in a salted duck egg (I hid it in my bag for a midnight snack, but the cat traveling with me stole it). A secret: the vendor is actually an intangible cultural heritage inheritor, and the steamed cake recipe has been passed down for five generations! 2. Sun Erniang’s Bun Shop — 5 yuan each for "human meat filling"? Don’t panic! It’s actually mushroom and pork filling. The buns are pleated like lotus flowers, and biting into them releases juicy broth! I squatted on the stone road eating, with the "Cross Slope" wine flag behind me, really giving a "eating human meat buns" vibe (Vendor: Dear guest, want some vinegar?). The best part is the bun dough, fermented with old starter, carrying a wheat fragrance—I ate three in one go! 3. Secret Snack Street — 10 yuan to eat till you can’t walk Recommended: "Bianjing Sugar Painting" (8 yuan each), where the master can paint the Green Dragon Crescent Blade with sugar threads; "Lamb Soup with Bread" (15 yuan per bowl), with rich broth and tender meat—I squatted by a horse post eating and was praised by a passing "Zhan Zhao" for my good appetite; also "Secret Grilled Sausage" (3 yuan each), brushed with honey chili sauce, a sweet and spicy combo that’s super addictive! 🎭【Immersive Experience: Ancient Costume Hero Guide】 1. Hanfu Rental — 30 yuan to transform into Jianghu youth At "Jinyi Workshop," you can rent a full set of Song Dynasty Hanfu, including hair accessories, prop sword, and oil-paper umbrella! I chose a red female hero outfit and was chased by tourists for photos on the ancient street. The shop owner even gave me a "wanted poster" sticker (I stuck it on my suitcase, and the security guard laughed at it on the way back). The best part: the shop has professional makeup artists, and for 30 yuan, you can get "heroine makeup" with a red dot between the eyebrows for a powerful look! 2. Jianghu Missions — Complete tasks to win silver tickets Pick up a "Hero’s Invitation" at the entrance. Complete 5 tasks (like rock-paper-scissors with "Li Kui," pouring wine for "Lu Zhishen," shouting slogans in the "Gathering Hall") to earn silver tickets. Collect 10 taels to exchange for small gifts! I collected a set of "Song Dynasty coin" bookmarks and got asked on social media if I had been to Hengdian. The funniest was the "Lightness Skill Task," where you have to walk ten steps on wooden posts—I fell three times, and "Zhou Botong" helped me up saying, "Heroine, you have a unique bone structure!" 3. Bonfire Party — 8:30 PM Jianghu Carnival At the Grassland Square, actors lead tourists in dancing the "Song Dynasty disco," with torches lighting up half the sky! I spun around holding a "Dog Beating Staff," then "Zhou Botong" pulled me to compete in lightness skill, and I ended up falling into a haystack, with the whole crowd applauding. The best part is the "Floating River Lantern" segment, where for 5 yuan you can buy a lotus lantern. I wrote the wish "Get Rich," but the lantern was blown to the opposite shore, where "Guo Jing" picked it up and said, "Miss, I will guard your wish for you!" 🚗【Transportation & Accommodation: How to enjoy Kaifeng with ease?】 ▪️Transportation: • High-speed rail: Zhengzhou East Station → Kaifeng North Station (20 minutes), taxi to the scenic area 15 yuan • Self-driving: Navigate to "Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City," parking 10 yuan/day • Inside the scenic area: Rent electric scooters (50 yuan/hour), walking the ancient street is even more immersive • Bus: Routes 15/30 direct, but last bus at 7:30 PM ▪️Accommodation: • Best value: "Jianghu Inn" inside the scenic area (200 yuan/night), window view of city tower, includes breakfast voucher • Luxury must-have: Kaifeng Zhongzhou International Hotel (500 yuan/night), includes scenic area shuttle + hot springs • Avoid: Don’t stay too far!
