Zhaozhou Bridge
Zhaozhou Bridge, also known as Anji Bridge, is locally called the Great Stone Bridge. Built between the late Kaihuang period and early Daye period of the Sui Dynasty (595–605 AD), it has a history of over 1,400 years. Designed and constructed by Sui Dynasty craftsman Li Chun, it was bestowed the name "Anji" by Emperor Zhezong during his northern inspection tour in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Zhaozhou Bridge is a large single-span open-spandrel stone arch bridge with a segmental arch. The main arch consists of 28 parallel arch rings arranged longitudinally. The bridge has a total length of 64.4m, a deck width of 9m, and a width of 9.6m at the springing lines on both sides. The main arch, constructed with 28 parallel arch rings, has a clear span of 37.02m and a rise (vertical distance from the crown to the springing line) of 7.23m. The two smaller arches near the abutments at each end of the main arch have clear spans of 3.81m, while the two smaller arches closer to the center of the bridge have spans of 2.85m. Zhaozhou Bridge is an ancient stone arch bridge renowned for its exceptional scientific sophistication and artistic beauty. It holds a significant position in the history of world architecture and has been celebrated since ancient times as a "marvel of the world." In 1961, it was designated by the State Council as one of China's first batch of major national cultural heritage sites. In September 1991, the American Society of Civil Engineers selected it as the 12th "International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark," commemorating the honor with a plaque and monument.Zhao County · 41.4km from Longyao County
Mount Taishan
Crowned as "The King of the Five Sacred Mountains", Mount Tai has been one of China's most famous mountain peaks since ancient times. A large and impressive rock mass covering 25,000 ha and rising to 1,545 m above the surrounding plateau, Mount Taishan is considered one of the most beautiful scenic spots in China and was an important cradle of oriental East Asian culture since the earliest times. The mountain was an important object of the cult worship of mountains even before 219 BCE, when the Qin Emperor paid tribute to the mountain to inform the gods of his success in unifying all of China. Watching the sunrise and catching the spectacular sea of clouds are common activities that visitors engage in. You are also encouraged to explore the ancient sites, engravings, and religious temples to understand the role of Mount Tai in China's long history.China · Tai'an
Millennium City Park
Millennium City Park is located by the Longting Lake in Kaifeng, a large-scale historical and cultural theme park that faithfully recreates the Northern Song Dynasty's capital based on the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by artist Zhang Zeduan, following the original layout at a 1:1 scale. The park is divided into two sections by the Shuangting Bridge: the southern area recreates the bustling urban life of Bianjing, with taverns, teahouses, pawnshops, and artisan workshops lining the streets, where peddlers with shoulder poles and shouting shop assistants move about; while the northern area features imperial gardens, with lakeside halls and quadrangular courtyards standing by the water. Staff and vendors throughout the park wear Song-style attire, accompanied by ancient music and the rhythmic sounds of bells and drums, creating the illusion of "stepping into a painting and traveling back a thousand years in a single day." The architecture here offers visually striking highlights: the Rainbow Bridge spanning the Bian River replicates the famous bridge from ancient paintings, arching like a rainbow—watching grain barges pass beneath recreates the painting's ambiance. Fuyun Pavilion towers above all other structures with its crimson facade and golden-roofed eaves, offering panoramic garden views. The reconstructed Shangshan Gate mirrors Kaifeng's Northern Song dynasty city gates, standing majestic with resplendent paintings as the garden's most imposing structure. Waterside pavilions like Shuixin Xie, Double Pavilion Bridge, and Nine Dragons Bridge dot the emerald waters in picturesque harmony. The daytime highlight is the scattered live performances throughout the park: "Judge Bao inspecting the Bian River grain transport" unfolds on the water by Rainbow Bridge, "Squire Wang's daughter seeking a husband" brings the embroidered ball tossing matchmaking to the streets, and "Yue Fei unhorsing Prince Xiao Liang" stirs up dust with galloping hooves in the drill ground. Folk performances like cockfighting, stilt walking, cuju (ancient football), and pan drumming are interspersed throughout. Families with children can visit Fun Garden and Great Song Games to try archery, dart throwing, rope climbing, and hoop diving—experiencing every Song dynasty game from a thousand years ago—or dress in period costumes at Square Courtyard to take mock imperial exams. Street-side workshops showcase folk crafts like Bian embroidery, Zhuxian Town woodblock prints, official kiln porcelain, and dough figurines, where visitors can watch artisans at work. The park takes on a different face after nightfall: red lanterns light up one after another, and the streets are ablaze with lights, making it seem like a completely different place from daytime. The large-scale water show "Northern Song Dynasty: Splendid Dreams of Dongjing" is performed on Jinglong Lake. The entire show is connected by eight classic Song Dynasty poems and a scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," transporting the audience back to Dongjing of the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. The performance lasts approx. 70 minutes, and many travelers specifically reserve their itinerary for the evening to wait for this show. After the performance, you might as well climb the Shangshan Gate tower to overlook the park scenery and the night view of Kaifeng under the lights. Dining in the park is also convenient: the snack street and night market around the Dongjing food area gather Kaifeng snacks like soup dumplings and mutton pancake, perfect for eating while strolling; for a proper sit-down meal, head to Sunyang Restaurant, a recreation of the "main shop" depicted in paintings, and try traditional Henan dishes such as soup dumplings and carp with noodles.China · Kaifeng

It is said that "no one who does not visit Jinci Temple will be able to visit it."Jinci TempleThe saying goes, "It would be a wasted trip to Taiyuan." After getting off the bus at Jinci, the first place we arrived at was...Jinci ParkThis is a free park with a nice environment; feel free to explore.

Jinci TempleThe "Three Treasures" are connected and located in...Jinci TempleAlong the central axis, they can be visited together. The Jinci Museum-Offering Hall is a place for offering sacrifices; its four walls are fence-like, providing ventilation and coolness. Notably, not a single iron nail was used on the beams and pillars throughout the hall. The Fish Pond Flying Bridge is located west of the Offering Hall, between the Offering Hall and the Holy Mother Hall, and was built in the Song Dynasty. The entire structure resembles a modern overpass, a unique example among existing ancient bridges in China. One end of the "Flying Bridge" connects to the Jinci Museum-Holy Mother Hall, the oldest existing main building in the Jinci Museum. The hall is spacious, and the absence of pillars is a major highlight. Eight wooden dragons, seemingly poised for flight, are carved on the eight pillars in front of the hall, adding to the imposing presence of the "Fish Pond Flying Bridge." Centered around the Jinci Museum - Holy Mother Hall, the "Three Wonders" are easily found. The painted clay sculptures are located within the Holy Mother Hall. The main statue, the Holy Mother, sits dignified and ornately in a wooden shrine, flanked by 42 attendant figures. These sculptures are brightly dressed and display a variety of expressions. One attendant, dressed as a female opera singer, wears a face that is half joyful and half sorrowful, evoking a complex mix of emotions in the viewer. The renowned artist Mei Lanfang once stood before this attendant for a long time, carefully observing her movements and inner feelings, and praising her highly. The Zhou Cypress, located north of the Holy Mother Hall, dates back to the Western Zhou Dynasty and is over 3000 years old. The Nanlao Spring, located south of the Holy Mother Hall, is the source of the Jin River. besides,Jinci TempleInside, there is also a precious stele inscribed with the "Jinci Inscription" personally written and calligraphed by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. At the southernmost point is the Shifang Fengsheng Chan Temple, traditionally believed to have been the villa of Yuchi Gong, a general who helped found the Tang Dynasty. In the Futu Courtyard south of the temple is a stupa containing relics; climbing the stupa offers panoramic views.Jinci TempleThe panoramic view is vivid in my mind.China · Taiyuan

Song Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort
Song Du Huangcheng Cultural Tourism Resort is located in the northern part of the old city of Kaifeng, precisely on the site of the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty's Dongjing city. The millennium-old central axis of Kaifeng runs through this area, making it the core zone of the royal culture of the Song Dynasty. Here, you can find the Song-style imperial architecture of the Longting attraction, the tales of the Yang Family Generals at Tianbo Yang's residence, and the calligraphic steles of Han Yuan Stele Forest. The Shuanglong Lane historical and cultural block, 960 Cultural and Creative Park, and Qisheng Corner have transformed old streets and courtyards into Song-style blocks perfect for leisurely exploration. The resort also connects a series of Song culture attractions: Wansui Mountain Great Song Martial Arts City stages year-round martial arts live shows and intangible cultural heritage iron fireworks, while historic sites like the Iron Pagoda, Kaifeng city wall, Zhouqiao and Bian River ruins, Shanshangan Guild Hall, Yanqing Taoist Temple, and Fan Pagoda are scattered across the old city, along with niche spots like the underground wartime grain storage. These places are hard to cover in one day, so we recommend focusing on two or three key sites. After dark, a different experience awaits as the attractions light up in unison. Boarding a painted pleasure boat on the Great Song Imperial River to watch the illuminated pavilions and towers sway with the rippling water is a popular nightlife option here.China · Kaifeng

The Zhaozhou Bridge Scenic Area, also known as Anji Bridge, was built over 1400 years ago under the supervision of the Sui Dynasty craftsman Li Chun. It is the world's oldest and best-preserved open-spandrel stone arch bridge, often referred to as the "Number One Bridge Under Heaven." It is a 4A-level scenic area and a national key cultural relics protection unit.
The Zhaozhou Bridge itself spans the Xiao River, featuring a single-arch design with four smaller arches added to the shoulders—a groundbreaking innovation in bridge construction. This not only reduced the bridge's weight but also helped divert floodwaters during the rainy season. The bridge's bluestone railings are carved with lifelike dragons and mythical beasts. Currently, climbing the bridge is prohibited, but visitors can admire and photograph it up close from the banks.
The Ancient Bridge Exhibition Hall introduces the bridge's construction principles and historical evolution, showcasing old photographs and models to help visitors understand the engineering wisdom of the ancients.
The Li Chun Statue stands at the entrance of the scenic area, commemorating the designer of this famous bridge.
The riverside gardens along the Xiao River offer excellent views of the bridge's reflection in the water.

How about Mount Tai? The verdant peaks of Qi and Lu stretch endlessly! As the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains, Mount Tai's ticket price is quite reasonable. You can enter the mountain twice in three days. Hikers can ascend once via the Red Gate and once via the Eastern Imperial Road. At this time of year, a bed at the summit costs just over 100 yuan, which is acceptable. If you're lucky, you might see the sunrise!

I had low expectations for Jinci Temple in Taiyuan, but it was surprisingly stunning. The temple complex is divided into two parts: the scenic area and the museum, both of which were well worth the visit. Nanlao Spring is comparable to Baotu Spring in Jinan, and we happened to visit during one of its rare periods of high water flow.

My second visit to Kaifeng fulfilled my dream of visiting Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City! The scenery perfectly recreated the martial arts world I envisioned, with meticulous attention to detail and everyone dressed in ancient costumes, creating a truly immersive experience. I collected silver tickets through interactive activities and redeemed them for a phone stand. The scenic area has expanded eastward this year and is constantly being updated. I look forward to my next visit to unlock even more new attractions, ensuring a constantly fresh 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.

"Stunning" doesn't even begin to describe it; "breathtaking" is the only word to describe it. Driving over a thousand kilometers just to catch a glimpse of this thousand-year-old wooden pagoda was absolutely worth it! Sitting quietly on a bench in the scenic area, gazing at it silently, it felt like time stood still.

I had a little extra time in Jinan during my work trip, so I choose to visit Boutu Spring. At first I was curious why I need to pay such amount just to see the ‘springs’, but once I was inside, I understood why the locals were there, like so many of them… love the place and at least I get to experience some autumn vibe!

Worthy of being a Ming and Qing dynasty ancient county town and a World Cultural Heritage site, its biggest highlight is its complete ancient city layout, with four main streets, eight alleys, and seventy-two winding lanes forming a "土" (earth) shaped framework. The streets and alleys resemble the patterns on a tortoise shell. It also features the history of Shanxi merchants' banks and ancient architectural relics.
