Henan is the most populous province in China, and also the core of the Central Plains civilization. It inherits the foundation of the whole Chinese civilization and is the most representative place of Chinese civilization. Henan's natural landscape and humanistic feelings are extremely rich. Here, I will share with you a detailed tour guide.

I packed my bags and started a 1-day trip to the Central Plains. I did a lot of homework before the trip, and the trip went smoothly. This time, I started from Ningbo and went around Xiangcheng, Linying, Xuchang, Zhengzhou, Wan Xianshan, Yuntai Mountain, Kaifeng and Shangqiu. I would like to share some practical information during the trip, which can be used as a reference for friends who want to travel freely on this line.

First stop: Ningbo-Xiangcheng

Why go to Xiangcheng? Some friends may not know that Xiangcheng is the hometown of Yuan Shikai, the famous first president of the Republic of China, so they want to see his former residence. Soft sleeper at 7 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Xiangcheng Station at noon the next day. Although sleeping on the train is uncomfortable, the accommodation fee is saved, and the province can be saved. By the end of the year or early 22, after the opening of Zhenghe high-speed railway, there may be high-speed trains.

Now Xiangcheng Railway Station is 8km away from the urban area, and there are no commercial and living facilities around the station area. There are buses and taxis to the urban area, but there is no bus to Yuan Shikai's former residence. When you leave the station, there are many trolleys, three-wheeled and four-wheeled scooters to solicit customers. You can bargain for 5 yuan's former residence and 4 yuan. Later, I got on an SUV in 3 yuan, and another person in the car also went to this line.

The railway station is more than 1 kilometers away from Yuan Shikai's former residence, and it takes 15 minutes to get there. Perhaps Yuan Shikai has a bad reputation for restoring monarchy, and the local government has not made good use of this tourism resource, not to mention his former residence. It is the so-called Yuan's ancient residence. Therefore, there is no special tourist line. Now there is a bus stop at the entrance of the former residence, and there is no stop sign at the waiting pavilion. According to the staff of the former residence, it is not necessary to go here when building roads.

Only a small part of the former residence has been restored. It is impossible to tell whether the house is newly built or the original one. It has all been newly painted, with relevant photos of Yuan's family on display, which can be completed in half an hour. It is enough to read all the exhibition descriptions in one and a half hours.

There are several houses left in the red circle.

Yuan Shikai's wax portrait

The former residence is located in some houses in the east, middle and west, but it's not interesting to see it, so there are not many tourists. When they leave the gate, they look for the bus to the city. No one takes the taxi, and I don't know if the bus will come. Just wait for the passing bus. Fortunately, the bus that sent me here and returned with passengers, so I got on the bus to the city.

There is another scenic spot about the Yuan family in Xiangcheng City, that is, Yuan Shikai's Palace, which is now Xiangcheng Museum. On that day, there was a power outage and visitors were not allowed to visit it. Only a photo was taken at the gate, and only a small part of the palace was left.

These houses are here from beginning to end.

Second stop: Linying

Why do you want to go to this unknown place? In Linying County of Xuchang City, there is a nationally famous village like Huaxi Village in Jiangyin City, which is Nanjie Village, a new socialist countryside. Now all the rural areas are contracted for land. What is the situation of this village that adheres to the centralized system and implements the * * * capitalist system? We should go and have a look.

There is no direct bus from Xiangcheng to Nanjie Village, so you have to take the train or bus to Luohe City first, because there are only four trains passing through Luohe every day, one at midnight, and three at 1 o'clock in the morning. In order to hurry, you choose the bus. Xiangcheng long-distance bus station is on the traffic road, and there are many flights to Luohe. When you get to Luohe City, get off at the square in front of the station gate and get off at Nanjie Village Station.

Xiangcheng bus station has no facade, so go in from the business hotel.

Xiangcheng bus station timetable

At the gate of Luohe bus station, the photo booth is the bus waiting place in Xuchang and other directions.

the route map on the bus. After getting off at Nanjie Village Station, call a battery car on the roadside. You can take four people face to face. 2 yuan will show you around the village, and the driver will introduce you. You can stop and take pictures at any time. If you walk around the village, you will be exhausted. 2 yuan is worth sitting.

Nanjie Village is full of pictures and quotations of Chairman Mao, and the loudspeakers also play songs such as "Sailing at the Helmsman" and "Dongfanghong", just like going back to the Cultural Revolution era.

In the village supermarket, every villager sends out 1 yuan shopping every month, where they can spend money.

Village Hotel

Village Brewery. There are more than 1 enterprises in this village, and the monthly salary for working in enterprises is generally 2,-3, yuan.

This kind of battery car is sightseeing bus in the village.

Third stop: Xuchang

Xuchang was called "Xu" in ancient times, which originated from the time of Yao. Gao Shi Xu was named after grazing here and washing his ears on the bank of Yingshui. Xuchang is the birthplace of Xu's ancestor. In the first year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 196), Cao Cao held the emperor to make princes and welcome the Han emperor to Xu. Xuchang became the political, economic and cultural center at that time. At present, Xuchang city focuses on the development of Cao Wei culture tourism, and there are scenic spots such as Cao Wei ancient city, Cao Chengxiang mansion and Spring and Autumn Building in the urban area. From Nanjie Village to Xuchang City, call a battery car in the village

5 yuan Money goes to Linying Bus Station, and there are many shuttle buses from Linying to Xuchang.

the gate of the ancient city of Cao Wei, which is a newly-built ancient city, contains a commercial street with antique buildings.

This is outside the gate of the ancient city of Caowei. In the distance, the Rebecca Hotel (Caowei Ancient City Store) with antenna on the roof is a four-star hotel with good service and sanitation. The price is only 25 yuan, 1 meters away from the gate of the ancient city, and it is very close to Xuchang Railway Station or Bus Station. It is recommended to stay.

The fourth stop: Zhengzhou

There are Xuchang Railway Station, Xuchang East Station or bus station from Xuchang to Zhengzhou. It takes 1 hour from the railway station to Zhengzhou, and it takes about half an hour from Xuchang East Station (high-speed train) to Zhengzhou, or the bus goes to Zhengzhou. I asked the station staff, the fast shift is 2 hours, and the slow shift is 3 hours. Because I live near the railway station, I took the train. The east station is 8 kilometers away from the city.

Xuchang Railway Station

Opposite Xuchang Railway Station Square is the long-distance bus station

Zijingshan Interchange

Because it is inconvenient to travel to Wan Xianshan and Yuntai Mountain by yourself, I reported on the Internet that Wan Xianshan and Yuntai Mountain, which leave Zhengzhou, will take a group tour for three days and two nights. This kind of individual group says that it will pick up people along the way from 6: to 7:3 in the morning, but I don't know which point to pick up. The comment said that it will be at what time. I wanted to get on the bus later and decided to get on the bus at Zijingshan. I booked the Henan Hotel next to Zijingshan Interchange. As a result, I stayed in the right place and informed me to get on the bus at the opposite Zijingshan Department Store at 7:3 the next morning. The hotel restaurant opened breakfast at 7 o'clock on time, so it was too late to walk there after breakfast. This station was the last stop to pick up guests that day, and then we set off. First, go to Wan Xianshan Scenic Area, which is mainly to visit Guoliangdong (wall-hanging highway) and Guo Liang Village.

The ticket for Wan Xianshan was 62 yuan, but the person who gave the tour guide half the ticket was 1 yuan. She said that the ticket was refunded according to the group fare they booked, indicating that the group fare was only 2 yuan.

Guo Liang village called for the direction of the spring.

It's called for the spring. It's impossible to shout loudly that the running water will be big. It's useless to shout how many people together. This scenic spot is not interesting.

The gate of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area is mainly divided into three parts, namely Hongshixia Scenic Area, Zifang Lake Scenic Area, Tanwaterfall Gorge, Quanwaterfall Gorge, and cornus Peak Scenic Area of Macaque Valley Scenic Area. Yuntai Mountain was not very famous before, so I didn't think there was any good scenery. After I went there this time, I felt it was worth a visit, and the scenery was very beautiful.

The ticket for Yuntai Mountain is 12 yuan, and the tour guide returns half the ticket to 3 yuan, so their team price is only 6 yuan.

Hongshixia Scenic Spot

Fangzi Lake is a reservoir, and it's just after Hongshixia. It is also a scene to get on and off the bus.

fangzihu reservoir

The entrance of Tanpu Gorge, Quanpu Gorge and Macaca Valley scenic spot contains three scenic spots: Tanpu Gorge, Quanpu Gorge and Macaca Valley.

The water looks a little blue, so this scenic spot is also called "Xiaozhaigou".

The Monkey Valley scenic spot needs to climb a long mountain road. There are many monkeys on it. Children like to watch it, but adults are not interested. If you don't watch the monkey show, half an hour is enough.

entrance of Tanpu Gorge

entrance of Quanpu Gorge, I was tired from walking, and there were still 3 kilometers to go, so it was too late to go in.

cornus Peak, with an altitude of 1,297.6 meters, came by scenic bus. There are 14 highway tunnels on Panshan Highway, so it is called Diecai Cave, which is also a scenic spot. I don't even know it.

entrance to the mountain

Yaowang Cave, with a depth of 3m and a diameter of 1m, is said to be the place where Sun Simiao, the Yaowang of the Tang Dynasty, collected medicines and made an alchemy.

Zhenwu Emperor Temple

Clouds at the top of the mountain

There are several ways to get to cornus Peak. First, take a bus from the junction points at the foot of the mountain via Panshan Highway and Diecai Cave to the mountain gate. It is said that there are about 17 steps, and the section just up the mountain and near the top of the mountain is steep. After reaching the top of the mountain, go down the mountain (steps) by another road, which is steep but close, and exit from the coming mountain gate. The second is to take the bus to Fenghuangling cableway station, and then take the Fenghuangling cableway. See the price list. You can visit yuntaiguan (very small), Chongyang Pavilion, and the glass plank road (the plank road is free in 2 yuan), and then walk about 2 meters, which is the uphill road, and then go to the rest pavilion and then go to cornus Peak. There is also the first way to climb the cornus Peak, go down to the rest pavilion, and then walk to the Phoenix Ridge, both of which are downhill or flat roads. After visiting these scenic spots in Phoenix Ridge, there are two ways to go down the mountain. One is to take the Phoenix Ridge cableway directly, which is more suitable for the elderly and people who are physically exhausted or in a hurry. There is also a walk from Fenghuangling to cornus Peak, which is about 3 kilometers. Listening to the same group, they said it was downhill, leaving at the gate of cornus Peak and returning by car. In this way, we can visit all the scenic spots in cornus Peak and Phoenix Ridge, and we have enough time. We set off at 7: 3, and the tour guide stipulated that we should meet at cornus Fengjing junction at 12: , otherwise we would return to the hotel by bus.

yuntaiguan (newly built)

Chongyang Pavilion, also newly built, is said to be where Wang Wei wrote "Memories of Shandong Brothers on September 9th". "Being alone in a foreign land is a stranger, and I miss my family every holiday. I know from afar where my brother climbed, and there was one less person in the dogwood. " Cornus Peak is famous for this poem.

The glass plank road is introduced as 4m, and 2m is made of glass.

After the tour of Yuntai Mountain, I had lunch at 12: , set off for Zhengzhou at 1: 3, and arrived at Zhengzhou Railway Station at 3: 3. I originally bought a ticket to Kaifeng at 4:49, so I wanted to leave enough time. I didn't want to arrive so soon, so I changed it to 4:6. The itinerary of this group tour is OK, but life is not so good. The hygiene of Ali Inn in Shayao Village where Wan Xianshan lives is not good. The bathroom is wet and dry, and the shower head is above the toilet. The air conditioner is limited in temperature, and it can't be hot even if it is set at 3 degrees. The temperature is only 5-6 degrees these days, so you can't take a shower. Yuntai Mountain lives in the Royal Edge Inn in Wujiatai Village. The facilities are relatively new, the hygiene is acceptable, and it is dry and wet. When eating in another inn, they are all vegetarian, and every meal is the same. When we set out, there were only 17 people in a bus. We still traveled together on the first, second and third days, and then separated the next day. In this way, guests crowded in and out, and accommodation and dining were divided into different standards.

Fifth stop: Kaifeng

Kaifeng has a history of building a city and a capital for more than 4,1 years.

Wei in Xia Dynasty, Warring States Period, Houliang, Houjin, Houhan, Houzhou, Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and other dynasties in the Five Dynasties successively settled here, and it is known as the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties. However, there are not many historical sites to be found in Kaifeng now. In the planning of the old city of Kaifeng, the buildings are very old, and the government does not allow the construction of high-rise buildings. The new buildings are all outside the city.

Now there are three gates with gatehouses left, all of which are newly built, and this is one of them.

The newly-built Baogong Temple in the Five Hundred Arhats Hall in Kaifeng is also a small place built in modern times, and it will not be used for half an hour.

Kaifengfu, with a large scale, is newly built. One and a half hours is enough.

Prison

Kaifeng Songduyu Street, an antique commercial street, is not popular, and Long Ting Park is at the end.

Kaifeng Long Ting Park

5 yuan was added to the Chrysanthemum Exhibition, and 4 yuan was usually added.

Long Ting Park is large in scale. Except this Long Ting is an ancient building, the others are newly built.

The iron tower in Kaifeng Iron Tower Park was built in the first year of Emperor You in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 149), with a history of nearly a thousand years. The area around the Iron Tower was opened as a park in 1955, which is one of the 1 famous gardens in China.

written by the great calligrapher Mi Fei.

the only ancient building in the park, the "iron tower", I thought it was made of iron, but I didn't know it was colored glass until I saw it. Because it looks like iron, it is called the iron tower.

The Riverside Garden on Qingming Festival, near Long Ting Park, is a newly-built antique commercial park, which is said to be copied according to the Riverside Map on Qingming Festival, but it is a circular area, and the ticket price is still very expensive, so it is of little value.

send a few less for everyone to see.

Kaifeng Drum Tower was rebuilt in 213.

Street stalls on both sides of the Drum Tower are called Drum Tower Square.

Kaifeng North Station (high-speed railway station) is 15km away from the city.

There is a tourist shuttle bus in North Station Square, and one ticket can get on and off at any time at each station. I walked or took a taxi to these scenic spots in Kaifeng for a day.

Sixth stop: Shangqiu

Shangqiu is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, the earliest capital city of China in Xia and Shang Dynasties, with a history of 5, years of civilization and more than 4,6 years of city construction, and it is the capital of three emperors and five emperors, such as Yanhuang, Suirenshi and Shennong. It is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. In the morning, I took the high-speed train from Kaifeng to Shangqiu. Now Shangqiu only has some ancient buildings left in the ancient city of Shangqiu. The ancient city is in the original Shangqiu County. Get off the train and take the No.1 bus directly to the ancient city on the side of the square. It takes about 3-4 minutes. This line starts from high-speed railway station. high-speed railway station and the railway station are the same place. One is from this side, the other is from that side. It is the third stop before the bus arrives at the railway station. I searched on Gaode, but I didn't find this line.

Gongchenmen (North Gate) bus terminal is also here.
