Travel in the post-epidemic era ~ Kaifeng

I have actually been to Kaifeng several times. Originally, my sister wanted to go and see it this time, but she was unable to go due to health and work reasons. But I decided to go again. Wang Ying lent me a car, so This time I also served as the driver.

The reason why I want to go to Kaifeng again is because I have read an article introducing the "Great Song Martial Arts City" in Kaifeng before. The article is very interesting, so I also want to go to Kaifeng. Our first stop is "The City of Martial Arts in the Song Dynasty" in Long Live Mountain. "Martial Arts City of the Song Dynasty".

Many scenic spots in Kaifeng were actually built later, so it cannot be called an ancient city. However, unlike visiting ancient ruins and ancient buildings, it will be easier for you to visit new landscapes, as if you don’t have to carry so much history, and you are more familiar with history. It's completely stress-free for me who has little knowledge.

"Great Song Martial Arts City", as the name suggests, is a real-life paradise with martial arts culture as the background of the Song Dynasty. The ticket inspectors who enter are also dressed in ancient costumes and greet you with the honorific "Hello, hero". When you enter, you are catching up with some heroes. When practicing kung fu, you will be immersed in it all at once.

We didn’t come to the martial arts city to see the scenery, so the scenery along the way is not important to us. The most important thing here is the lively martial arts performances. Although not all of them are martial arts masters, the practice of practicing with real swords and guns still feels novel. A lot, no, as soon as they entered the Song Dynasty Martial Arts Hall, the "Four Famous Catchers" started.

After watching the four famous hunters fight and kill, they continued to walk in the garden and walked to the "Happy Forest". There were some restaurants and merchants here, and it looked like a performance venue. Wang Ying went to Wu Dalang and bought some cooking cakes. I went to the shop next to me to buy water, but there was no one in the shop. At this time, Wu Dalang came over again, and I asked him, "Da Lang, do you sell water?" Dalang didn't feel disgusted at all and said, I'll give it to him. You find someone to go to.

While I was drinking the drink, a crowd of people showed up, and then started a performance of "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness". Anyway, it was so lively to fight and kill. I blocked a lot of people in front of me, and I didn't take any pictures, so everyone dispersed. After that, take a photo of yourself.

The most important performance in this garden is "Three Attacks on Zhujiazhuang". The audience's seats in the venue are like a stadium, but opposite there is an open stage. On the left is the city of Zhujiazhuang, and on the right is where the heroes of Liangshan attacked. , there is a hillside on the back, especially when the spy came to report, the spy rode down the hillside on horseback, which was particularly realistic.

What we see here is a vivid martial arts performance, which is not comparable to the special effects of lightning and flint. The horse battles and city sieges are very shocking. Real horses and real "cannonballs" are used. Some dead soldiers are lying on the ground. On the ground, I was afraid of being stepped on by a horse.

I think this one performance is worth the 60 yuan ticket price. It might be more fun if you bring children. There are about thirty or forty performances in a day, and it is so lively and fun.

At noon we went to Xiaosongcheng for dinner. It is known as the reception hall of Kaifeng people. It is a big house that contains Kaifeng snacks and souvenirs. The roof is also painted with blue sky and there are some small bridges and flowing water inside. It is worthy of tourists.

We also ordered a few snacks to try.

Now that I have come to Kaifeng, I also want to visit Qingming Riverside Garden. The last time I took my mother there was a few years ago. Due to the maintenance of Parking Lot 1, it took a while to find the parking lot. After this visit and Along with Wang Ying, I am sure of one thing, that is, it is best to navigate by yourself when driving, and never ask someone who does not drive to help you navigate .

The most important thing I love about the people of Henan is that I feel that they are all real. Although the tickets for the Riverside Garden during the Qingming Festival are more expensive, there are many live performances in the garden now, which is a lot of effort in terms of manpower and material resources. , I later heard from the boat operator that there are 80 performances in the Riverside Garden during the Qingming Festival in one day. This project is quite big. Whether you like it or not, they are really prepared.

There are not many tourists yet, and the garden seems deserted.

We also watched an important live performance in this garden. The summary of the story is that the Jin soldiers attacked Song City, and the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty successfully defended the city. It was also under heavy artillery fire. Water columns of tens of meters rose from the water surface. Watching It's also spectacular, because there will be casualties when attacking the city. Some people actually jumped into the water, and some puppets were thrown down. It was really exciting to watch.

Kaifeng is really nice and fun. I visited these two places this time.
