Zhengzhou is located in central China. It is an important railway hub and an up and coming, vibrant city full of life. The area surrounding the Erqi Memorial Tower is representative of old Zhengzhou.

Unwind in Luxury: A Must-Try Spa Experience at Manxiangzhe Holiday, Zhengzhou
#spas #100waysoftravel #travelchina #zhengzhou
One of the must-do experiences when visiting Zhengzhou is a visit to Manxiangzhe Holiday, a comprehensive spa resort that offers a blend of hot spring baths, saunas, and swimming facilities. We spent half a day indulging in the spa and were impressed by the variety of offerings, from the free fruit and drink bars with over 30 choices to the relaxing themed rest rooms where we unwound after our treatments. While seafood buffets are available for lunch or dinner, we skipped that and simply enjoyed the serenity. On the third floor, guests can also try on traditional Chinese clothes and Hanfu for free, making it a great spot for photography, although we were too tired to take advantage of it after a long day of travel. It's an ideal place to recharge, though it can get extremely busy on weekends, as it's one of the top spa destinations in Zhengzhou.
CBD Square in Zhengzhou
Today, I had the opportunity to explore CBD Square in Zhengzhou, China. The area is a dynamic blend of modern architecture, bustling commercial hubs, and a vibrant atmosphere. As I wandered through its towering buildings and wide-open spaces, I marveled at the urban energy around me. The square was filled with people from all walks of life, creating a sense of community in the heart of the city. From high-end shopping to peaceful spots for reflection, CBD Square offered a perfect balance of excitement and tranquility, making it a must-visit destination in Zhengzhou.

I Took 3 Flights to reach Zhengzhou Just to Experience the Splendor of the Henan Museum!
I have a deep love for Chinese history, and my stop in Zhengzhou is solely to take my time appreciating the artifacts inside. The Henan Museum is said to have the second-largest collection of cultural relics in China, only after the Palace Museum. With the vast number of artifacts and their exquisite craftsmanship, it’s definitely worth a visit to explore and learn.
The "Nine Treasures of the Henan Museum" are the most iconic and valuable artifacts in the museum’s collection. Each of these treasures represents a significant aspect of Chinese history and culture, showcasing the rich heritage of Henan Province. Here’s a glimpse of these nine treasures:
1. **Lotus and Crane Square Pot (莲鹤方壶)** - A bronze wine vessel from the Western Zhou Dynasty, known for its intricate design and craftsmanship.
2. **Warring States Chime Bells (战国编钟)** - A set of bronze chime bells used in ancient ceremonial music, showcasing advanced metallurgical techniques.
3. **Jade Plaque with Double Dragon Pattern (双龙纹玉佩)** - A beautifully carved jade ornament from the Han Dynasty, symbolizing power and prestige.
4. **Fuhao's Owl-Shaped Bronze Ritual Vessel (妇好鸮尊)** - A unique owl-shaped bronze vessel from the Shang Dynasty, used in rituals by the powerful female military leader Fuhao.
5. **Bronze Square Ding (司母戊鼎)** - A large and imposing bronze vessel from the Shang Dynasty, one of the heaviest and most famous bronzes in Chinese history.
6. **Lotus Pedestal Silver Box (银鎏金莲花座舍利函)** - A silver reliquary box from the Tang Dynasty, used to hold sacred relics.
7. **Tang Dynasty Tri-Colored Glazed Horses (唐三彩马)** - Ceramic horses with vibrant glazes, representing the artistry and trade of the Tang Dynasty.
8. **Han Dynasty Painted Pottery Warrior Figurines (汉代彩绘陶俑)** - Detailed and vividly painted pottery figures, illustrating the military strength of the Han Dynasty.
9. **Ding Basin with Bird and Beast Patterns (鸟兽纹鼎)** - An ornately decorated bronze vessel from the Zhou Dynasty, symbolizing authority and used in important rituals.
These treasures are a must-see for anyone interested in the profound history and culture of China.

Zhengzhou is really so much fun~ (with a guide)
The itinerary is as follows: After arriving at noon, I casually found a place to eat Henan Huimian, wow, the taste was really super delicious😋! In the afternoon, I first went to the oil refinery, and then took the subway to Erqi Square. Then I arrived at the Finance Island, where I could ride a bike and enjoy the breeze, haha, it was super cool, and the Wild Dog Bookstore is also really nice to visit🤩. In the evening, I went to the Big Corn Building, where the night view is absolutely gorgeous😍, and it's especially good for taking pictures from a distance. After leaving the Big Corn Building, I went to the Hema Supermarket, where the roast duck is simply amazing, super delicious!😝 In the evening, I even ordered takeout back at the hotel! Wow, the fried chicken and cloud dumplings were so delicious they were explosive!😜 Because I visited so many places on the first day. It wasn't until noon the next day that I went to the Henan Museum. (The museum is really nice to visit, you can experience history from the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty), and you can bring a notebook to get stamps. After visiting the museum, I went to Zhenghong City, bought some Jasmine Milk White, browsed around, and ate something. In the evening, I took the high-speed train back home. This trip was really without any disappointments! Zhengzhou is really too good🥰!
Zhengzhou's 100 Free Treasure Attractions—Xiliu Lake Park
Zhengzhou's 100 Free Treasure Attractions—Xiliu Lake Park. Recently, the plum garden in the south area of Xiliu Lake Park has reached its full bloom period, and it's truly beautiful. With the ancient-style pavilions and the rippling lake water, any casual snapshot is a masterpiece. People of Zhengzhou, hurry up and check it out!
It's recommended to enter from the south gate of the park on Zhongyuan West Road and walk north along the riverbank to reach Qianjin Meiling. The park is quite large, so you can bring a tent and camp over the weekend. Children can catch fish by the river, and if you want to take photos in traditional costumes, it's best to choose a sunny day for more beautiful shots!
I can't help but share this place with you, Zhengzhou!
Zhengzhou is blooming! This is definitely the first wave of widespread blossoms in the city of Zhengzhou!
80% of Zhengzhou's residents might not know,
that there is such an ecological park hidden on the edge of Zhengzhou's third ring road,
and that is Xiliu Lake Park!
Xiliu Lake, where the waters of the Yellow River flow west into Zhengzhou, nourishing the ancient capital with a network of waterways.
Grass grows, kites fly, frogs croak, and the misty willows lushly reflect the city's outline.
A garden full of plum blossoms surrounds Zhengzhou's four famous towers, Qingyun Pavilion. A gentle breeze scatters the petals, which fall to the ground like poetry!
📍Navigation: South Gate of Xiliu Lake Park, South District, Zhengzhou. You can park your car on Zhongyuan West Road, and there is a public parking lot at the southwest corner of the park.

Yellow River Scenic Area is mostly a section of hills along the Yellow River covered with bushes and trees and a large paved plaza. Along with the two large head statues, there are other statues, pavillions, and other buildings scattered around.
One of the most interesting things about it is a long cart slide on a track that winds from the top of a hill to the bottom. That is probably the most fun activity there.
