Things to do in Fugou

Five stars! Exceeded expectations, it was so much fun! My child is already saying they want to come back during winter break. How can a place be so fun, interesting, and interactive? We played until 10 pm two nights in a row before heading back to the hotel. From choosing the Beggars' Sect at the entrance, you're greeted by NPCs along the way, and even getting a free snack when you become an item—it's all so interesting. The highlight is the ironwork—it's incredibly beautiful and impressive; my child said it looks like scattered gold.

Visiting Longmen Grottoes was one of the highlights of my trip to Luoyang. I was genuinely amazed by the sheer scale of the site and the incredible details of the Buddhist statues carved into the limestone cliffs. It is quite mind-blowing to think about how these masterpieces were created more than a thousand years ago, especially considering the tools and technology available back then.Walking through the grottoes gave me a real appreciation of China's rich history, culture and craftsmanship. Every section seemed to have something interesting to discover, and I found myself stopping frequently to admire the intricate carvings. The scenery along the river also made the experience even more enjoyable.Definitely worth visiting if you're in Luoyang! My advice is to set aside at least 2–3 hours, wear comfortable shoes and take your time exploring rather than rushing through. An unforgettable experience!

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.

The construction is absolutely stunning, especially the night view! The antique buildings and lanterns create a feeling of stepping back in time. The silver-threaded ancient buildings, combined with the lights and "snowflakes," are incredibly romantic. The NPCs' costumes are exquisite, they're very enthusiastic, and the interactions are excellent. Everywhere you go in the scenic area, they're incredibly helpful when you ask questions—they're practically the equivalent of Pang Donglai in the cultural tourism world! The Bianhe River cruise is fantastic value; definitely buy the combined ticket and take the Imperial River section. Every bridge and archway feels like stepping into a painting. There are also shows along the river. The experience is truly exceptional. The only downside is that Wansui Mountain Scenic Area gets incredibly crowded. Going during the off-season would be an even better experience.

I finally visited Laojun Mountain this time, and it was even more amazing than I expected. The facilities were complete, the staff were very friendly, and parking, dining, and accommodation were all very convenient. There were plenty of places to rest during the hike. It was a very satisfying trip; everything was just right.

We visited the hot springs in Huadu with our family over the weekend and had a great experience in all aspects. The advertised area included a children's play area, which I highly recommend. The staff were very attentive, especially Aunt Xiaoli and Aunt Kenan, who helped us get water and tidy up our things. I'll definitely come back to try it next time. A brand new children's play area will be opening in mid-July; you should definitely bring your kids to experience it!

Kaifeng Prefecture is definitely worth visiting to learn about its history and culture. The site is now a 1:1 replica, so a guided tour is recommended, lasting about 40 minutes. If you want to see shows, you'll need to check the schedule. There are also interactive programs. The area is also quite clean and tidy.

The tour guide spoke clearly and fluently. The museum was packed with people, and with a group of 30, the young woman, being small and wearing a black coat, easily lost her way. I suggested she wear brighter colors next time, to which she replied: "Does work require specific clothing? Didn't she see the guides in the museum wearing bright red?"

Baquan Gorge, as the core scenic area of ​​the Taihang Grand Canyon, boasts truly stunning natural scenery. Towering cliffs abound, numerous springs flow through the gorge, and a crystal-clear, emerald-green lake nestles amidst the high gorges, creating a unique and majestic landscape characteristic of northern China. The integrated land, water, and air tour offers a rich experience: boat rides, winding cable cars, and the Sky City sightseeing elevator provide multiple perspectives of the Taihang Mountain scenery. Route A is highly recommended; it involves more downhill sections and is more physically demanding, but still requires a significant amount of walking, so wearing non-slip athletic shoes is advised. During holidays, long queues are common for cable cars and boats, so try to enter the park early. Prices within the scenic area are relatively high, so it's advisable to bring your own drinking water and snacks. Overall, the scenery is worth the ticket price, and it's a must-visit for those who appreciate natural landscapes.
