中原农家乐(中原饭店)

We drove past here and had lunch at this restaurant. The service attitude was good and the owner was very enthusiastic. The dishes were mainly farm dishes, all of which were ordinary dishes. The portions were very large and the taste was good.

🌄 Just got back from Pingdingshan! This "Eagle City" of Henan holds so many surprises. Many people only know Pingdingshan for its coal. But this three-day trip allowed me to discover this seriously underrated gem in the Central Plains. I. Why Pingdingshan? Recommendation Reasons: The only hidden gem in Central China combining mountains, water, Buddhist temples, and hot springs; affordable prices and rich culture. Itinerary Budget: 500-800 RMB (2 days 1 night, including hot spring experience) Transportation: Public transport + taxi (taxi fare between city attractions should not exceed 15 RMB) II. Essential Two-Day Itinerary 🏞 Day 1: Mountain, Water, and Buddhist Paradise · 08:30 Yaoshan Scenic Area (Entrance fee 65 RMB, cable car round trip 100 RMB) · 12:00 Mountain Farmhouse (Wild vegetables + free-range chicken 68 RMB/serving) · 14:00 Central Plains Buddha (Free distant view, world's tallest bronze Buddha) · 16:30 Stroll along Foquan Lake (Stunning autumn reflections) · 18:00 Xiatang Town Hot Spring (68 RMB/person, a top choice for relaxation) 🏯 Day 2: Cultural Exploration · 09:00 Xiangshan Temple (Birthplace of Guanyin Culture, Admission 40 RMB) · 11:30 Baiguihu Wetland (Free, Birdwatching Area) · 14:00 Pingdingshan Museum (National First-Class Museum, Free) · 16:00 Majie Book Fair Site (Holy Land of Folk Art) · 17:30 Dinner at Jianshe Road Food Street, then return home III. Food Recommendations ✅ Must-Try List · Jiaxian Heluo Noodles (10 RMB/bowl, Century-old Shop) · Lushan Lan Guo Cai (28 RMB/portion, Farmhouse Stew) · Yexian Huimian (15 RMB/bowl, Rich Broth) · Baofeng Maigen Roasted Chicken (35 RMB/jin, Intangible Cultural Heritage Food) ❌ Avoidance Guide · Be cautious about buying "Lingzhi" (a type of mushroom) in scenic areas · Be wary of restaurants recommended by taxi drivers · Swimsuits are twice as expensive in the hot spring area; bringing your own is recommended. IV. Specialty Shopping Guide 🛍 Worth Buying · Ru porcelain teacups (authentic, guaranteed at the museum's cultural and creative store) · Baofeng liquor (light aroma type, buy at local supermarkets) · Lushan silk (from a time-honored silk shop) · Yaoshan wild mushrooms (farmer-dried for better prices) 💡 Shopping Tips · Look for officially authorized Ru porcelain. · Smell the wild mushrooms; they're fresh if they don't smell musty. V. These Moments Made Me Rediscover Pingdingshan Overlooking the red maple leaves from the Yaoshan cable car, listening to the morning bells and evening drums at Xiangshan Temple, understanding the bronze civilization of the Ying State tombs in the museum, watching the master chef skillfully press noodles in a late-night noodle shop... the cultural heritage of this industrial city is far deeper than I imagined. 📌 Personally Tested Recommendations · For Yaoshan, it's recommended to take the cable car up and walk down – less effort and better views. · Bring cash, as signal is unstable in the mountains. · Wear non-slip shoes, as the stone paths in the waterfall area are slippery. · There's a large temperature difference between day and night, so bring a light down jacket. If you're tired of crowded, trendy ancient towns and want to find a place with real local flavor, Pingdingshan will give you the most authentic and touching experience. 🌅 Special Recommendations · Sea of ​​Clouds at Yaoshan Jade Emperor Peak (requires early rising) · Sunset at Baigui Lake (a must-see for photographers) · Folk Performances at Majie Book Fair (often on weekends) #PingdingshanTourism #PlaceYourWeChatFriendsAreAskedAbout #CityCultureNotes #GoOutWithFriends
