Zhengzhou: A City That Punishes Those Who Don't Plan Ahead

Hey guys 👋, I recently went to Zhengzhou and really understood the meaning of the phrase "Zhengzhou punishes those who don't plan ahead"! Today, I'm going to share my travel experience with you, and I hope it will help those of you who want to visit Zhengzhou 💖 📍 Location: Zhengzhou, a city full of historical charm and modern vitality, has so many places worth exploring! 🚗 Transportation: ✈️ Airport: Xinzheng International Airport is a bit far from the city center. You can take the airport bus, which has many routes and can take you directly to various important places in the city. The price is also quite affordable 💰. You can also take the subway line to the city, which is very convenient, but it may be a bit of a hassle to transfer with your luggage 😅. 🚇 In the city: Zhengzhou's subway system is quite developed, and most attractions are accessible. I highly recommend getting a subway card, which requires a deposit of CNY 20 that can be refunded when you return the card. It saves you the time of queuing to buy tickets and is really convenient! Of course, taking the bus is also a good option, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way, but be careful not to go in the wrong direction 😜. 🎈 Travel itinerary: Day 1: Henan Museum → Erqi Square → Dehua Street Morning: Henan Museum is a must-see! The museum is full of artifacts that will dazzle you, from ancient times to modern times, and each artifact tells a story 📜. Remember to book your tickets in advance on the official WeChat account, it's free 🆓. I spent the whole morning there and still wanted more! Afternoon: After leaving the museum, take the subway to Erqi Square. This is a landmark in Zhengzhou, and the solemn and majestic Erqi Memorial Tower carries the red memories of Zhengzhou. You can climb to the top of the tower and overlook the bustling square 🌆. Evening: Start your food tour on Dehua Street, where there are a variety of snacks, a paradise for foodies 😍. Day 2: Zhengzhou Yellow River Cultural Park → Jianye & Huayi Brothers Movie Town Morning: Go to Zhengzhou Yellow River Cultural Park to feel the grandeur of the mother river. You can walk along the Yellow River and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the river, and you can also see the giant statues of the two emperors Yan and Huang, which are really amazing! 🚶‍♀️ Afternoon: Head to Jianye & Huayi Brothers Movie Town, and as soon as you enter, you will feel like you have traveled back to the Republic of China. There are many ancient-style buildings in the town, as well as various wonderful performances and interactive experiences. Put on a cheongsam and take pictures to capture the atmosphere 📷. 🎯 Travel tips: 1. Plan your itinerary in advance and arrange your time reasonably so that you can have more fun and not get too tired. 2. Be sure to book Henan Museum in advance, as there are many people on weekends and holidays, and you may have to wait in line for a long time. 3. Remember to bring some snacks and water to the Yellow River Cultural Park, as things are more expensive inside. 4. Check the show schedule of the movie town in advance and arrange your viewing time reasonably, otherwise, you may miss the wonderful performances. 🍜 Food: 1. Hui Mian: How can you come to Zhengzhou without eating Hui Mian? The noodles are chewy, the soup is fresh and delicious, and with the tender lamb and rich side dishes, a bowl of it will warm you up 🥘. 2. Spicy Soup: A bowl of steaming hot spicy soup in the morning is a real treat! The spicy taste instantly awakens your taste buds, and it is a perfect match with fried dough sticks or pan-fried buns 👍. 3. Soup Dumplings: Thin skin, big filling, and rich soup. Take a bite, and the soup bursts in your mouth, filling you with happiness 😋. 🏠 Accommodation: I recommend staying near Erqi Square, where transportation is convenient, and there are many delicious foods around. You can also go shopping at night. There are many hotels and homestays to choose from, with prices ranging from high to low, so you can choose according to your budget. I stayed in a homestay this time, and the room was clean and tidy, with a cozy decor style and a high cost-performance ratio 🤩. Guys, Zhengzhou is really a city worth visiting, with fun attractions, delicious food, and hospitable people. As long as you plan ahead, you will have a great travel experience! Pack your bags and come to Zhengzhou for an exciting trip of your own 💗.
