🌾【Zhengzhou two days and one night｜Wandering between the arms of the Yellow River and the thousand-year history】🌙

⛅𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏｜Time drifting by the Mother River Walking into the Yellow River Wetland Park in the morning light, I could hear the rustling sound of reeds blown by the wind. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, I admired the warm spring sunshine and watched the muddy water of the Yellow River overflowing the mudflats like ink. Occasionally, white egrets flapped their wings and skimmed across the water. In a trance, I understood the spirit of “the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky”. I personally recommend bringing a cup of hot tea and leaning on the observation deck to watch the golden light on the river surface, as if you are sharing the same waves with five thousand years of civilization. When transitioning to Erqi Square, time and space instantly switched to the modern channel. The aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts on Dehua Pedestrian Street is alluring, and the red star of the Erqi Memorial Tower is reflected on the glass curtain wall of the mall, blending the old and the new perfectly. Turn into the old shop Yu Shengde in the alley and have a bowl of steaming hot noodles. The coarse porcelain bowl is filled with the thick milky soup cooked with lamb bones. The heroism of the Henan people is all in these noodles. When the observation deck on the 58th floor of the Big Corn lights up at night, the entire city becomes a flowing river of light. The Ruyi Lake beneath your feet is rippling with dark blue water, and in the distance the Zhongyuan Fu Pagoda pierces the sky like a lightsaber. After moving to the Jiankang Road Night Market, don’t miss the freshly baked mutton steamed buns. The crispy and fragrant bread wrapped with cumin mutton, paired with a cup of iced almond tea, Zhengzhou truly comes alive in the bustling city. 📜𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐｜Chinese Decoding in the Museum The bronze-shaped exterior of the Henan Museum is itself a giant cultural relic. The museum's treasure, the Jiahu bone flute, lies quietly in the display cabinet. The crane bone from 9,000 years ago can still play the melody of "Little White Cabbage", which instantly gives me goose bumps. The animal face texture of the cloud-patterned bronze ban glows dark gold under the spotlight. The craftsmen of the Shang and Zhou dynasties actually turned the wine vessel into an amazing work of art! The "Chinese Ancient Music" performance on the third floor brings chime bells and drums to the modern stage. When the ancient music "Youlan" flows on the thousand-year-old Zenghouyi chime bells, it is like a whisper across time and space. 💡𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 ✔️The Jiankang Road Night Market is crowded on weekends, so it is recommended to arrive before 19:00 ✔️ Henan Museum requires advance reservation and is closed on Mondays ✔️The best time for the night view of Big Corn Observation Deck is half an hour after sunset ✔️The Yellow River Wetland Park can be combined with a boat ride at Nanguotou Ferry From the singing of the wind on the banks of the Yellow River to the epics in the museum, Zhengzhou taught me in two days: this city brought by trains is not only a hub for handling all directions, but also a living dictionary of Chinese civilization. Next time you come to Zhongyuan, don’t just think of it as a transfer station! #ZhengzhouIn-depthTour ##Yellow River Culture Tour #Henan Museum #Zhengzhou
