Things to do in Xingyang

The tour guide was incredibly professional, and the few hours flew by. She even piqued my mom's interest, as she doesn't usually enjoy museums, and listened attentively the whole time.

A trip to Zhengzhou wouldn't be complete without seeing the sculptures of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, so I went to the Yellow River Cultural Park. On a weekday, I personally experienced its grand scale, impressive scale, tranquil atmosphere, and great value, as described online. Highly recommended!

There are many hot springs and many things for children to do. It's so much fun. It's the best hot spring I've ever been to. I really recommend it.

Good, I strongly recommend everyone to come and play, good, good, very good! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The Zhengzhou Museum was much bigger than I expected you’ll probably need around 3 hours to really explore it all.My favorite exhibits were The Center of Heaven and Earth, The Art of Clay and Fire.What fascinated me most was what’s written in one of the exhibits about The Immortal World. After generations marked by war and heavy forced labor during the Qin and Han periods, the longing for immortality seems to reflect something deeply human. Trauma doesn’t only shape the body it also shapes belief, hope, and the stories people tell themselves. In many ways, the dream of an eternal world feels like a psychological response to a life filled with uncertainty and suffering.History doesn’t just preserve objects; it preserves the human mind.

I was initially puzzled when I saw the Erqi Monument Tower rising in the middle of Zhengzhou’s bustling commercial district. The twin towers did not appear as majestic as the famous Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Yet the following day, when the museum inside the tower opened, I stepped in to learn its story — and came to understand that this monument was erected in 1971 to commemorate the February 7th Railway Workers’ Strike of 1923.In February 1923, more than 30,000 railway workers went on strike to protest harsh working conditions and exploitation by railway authorities, halting trains across 1,200 kilometers of track. Warlord Wu Peifu ordered troops to violently suppress the movement. Soldiers opened fire, killing 52 workers, injuring hundreds, and arresting over 1,000. The strike, organized by early Communist Party members and railway unions, ended in tragedy but became a foundational myth of China’s Communist movement.In March 1923, Chairman Mao reflected on the strike, writing that it revealed “the heroic spirit of the workers” but also proved that “without the alliance of peasants and workers, the revolution cannot succeed.” This lesson shaped the CCP’s strategy, convincing Mao that the Party must broaden its base beyond urban workers to include China’s vast peasant population.The February 7th Railway Workers’ Strike remains one of China’s earliest and most significant uprisings, linking the labor movement with the emerging Communist revolution. A visit to the museum inside the Erqi Tower offers not just a glimpse of history, but a deeper understanding of the revolutionary struggle that the monument embodies.

Pan Shuai's name is well-deserved. I love him. He is super handsome, with a clear jawline. He can sing and dance. He can also drive the atmosphere of the scene. It's a large-scale disco scene. After I came back, my voice was hoarse for a week. I watch his videos every day and can't quit. It's too addictive. I have liked Pan Shuai for twenty-two years.

When I went out for an outing, I came to Zhengzhou Olympic Sports Center again. In the past, I often looked at it from a distance. This time, I walked closer and saw such a large venue. It has been empty since the Ethnic Minority Games. I really feel that this is a waste of public resources. I don't know if it can be used again after the epidemic is over. To be honest, Henan is really backward in the development of the sports industry.

It's highly entertaining and interactive, easily worth a whole day. The animals are adorable, and the shows are fantastic. Prices within the park are reasonable; the Pig Restaurant is the most affordable, while the Bird Restaurant is a bit pricey. There are other restaurants I didn't visit.

I haven't been to an aquarium in years, and I was surprised to find it so good now. The scenery and animals are great for photos, the activities and shows are also good, and you can tell that they've put a lot of effort into the animals' living conditions. It would be even better if they could be released back into the wild.
