2025 Xinyang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

How to Play at Chimelong Qingyuan? Check Out This 2-Day Itinerary!👋 I went to Chimelong Qingyuan during the Spring Festival holiday. Here is a fresh 2-day itinerary. If you plan to travel with kids, make sure to save this itinerary. Day 1: Arrive at Chimelong Qingyuan Forest Kingdom - Check in - Visit the three theaters and the parade (with proper time management, you can visit them all) - After dinner, take the kids to play at the Sacred Tree Park in the hotel Day 2: Enter the park and start from the left - Parrot Rainforest - Monkey Island - Central Lawn - Giraffe Grassland - Sky Exploration - Lion Mountain - Steam Train through Africa - Bug World - Kangaroo Jungle - Elephant Valley - Parrot Rainforest ✅ Take the steam train to see the grassland, about half an hour: Qingyuan chicken, elephants, giraffes, hippos, birds, and other animals. The area is large, but there are not many animals. There is a commentary throughout the journey. ✅ Bug World has 6 rides, and there are only 2 rides for children under 1.2 meters. ✅ You can feed ring-tailed lemurs on Monkey Island, but there are no gloves, so parents and children need to be careful when feeding. ✅ There is a bird show on the Central Lawn. ✅ Giraffe Castle Hotel, we chose a family room, which is full of giraffe elements. Kids will love it. The Sacred Tree Park is so fun that kids don't want to leave. The area is large and fun. Overall, Chimelong Qingyuan is worth visiting. It is larger and wilder. However, the park has just opened, and there are still some areas that need improvement, such as the room has some smell, although not very strong. The giraffe viewing area in the hotel garden has no animals yet, and the animal viewing area on the way to the Lion Ferris Wheel is not well arranged. I look forward to the park's continuous improvement and can't wait to visit again.

These courtyards are the "Return to the Garden and Fields" depicted by Tao Yuanming, the "second life" yearned for by city dwellers. With "courtyard economy" as the focus and the natural and cultural context as the thread, these scattered courtyards in tea fields, lakesides, ancient villages, and forests are strung together like pearls - 6 themed itineraries, a 48-hour slow travel guide, so that Tao Yuanming's verse "Long confined in a cage, I return to nature" is no longer just a distant yearning in ancient poetry. 👇👇👇 - ⭐Itinerary 1: Lakeside Spring Scenery⭐ The shores of Nanwan Lake overflow with tea fragrance, and the north lake breezes ripple across the shimmering waters.

The lakeside cultural and creative park blends the stories of old fishing boats with modern aesthetics, and the aroma of coffee wafts from the tea workshops. As dusk settles, lakeside restaurants simmer a milky fish head soup with spring water and lake-fresh ingredients, each taste a burst of the fresh sweetness of the mountains and waters.

A wood-fired hot pot simmers in the courtyard, the aroma of braised fish mingling with the freshness of mountain mushrooms, tantalizing the taste buds.

In your single years, your girlfriends are the best travel buddies 👭 This time, I dove headfirst into the tea mountains and misty clouds of Xinyang, and discovered that even the air in this small city is sweet. 🌿 Stay in a picturesque landscape Xinyang Kaiyuan Guantang Hotel You must book this amazing hotel! It features Japanese-style garden villas nestled in the mountains and rivers. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows bring the lake and mountain scenery indoors, and the sounds of birds and the fragrance of tea greet you when you open the door 🌿 In the morning, take a morning run with your besties along the lake and watch the mist flow over the top of the tea mountains. Even breathing feels healing. The main focus is on a "laid-back vacation." Brew a cup of tea on the terrace and laze away the afternoon. Isn't this the relaxation we all dream of? ☕ Lakeside coffee meets a magical wonderland Jianshan Coffee This hidden gem is tucked away in a bay, with a spacious camping lawn in front. Water buffalo stroll leisurely on the shoals, and every shot you take looks like a magazine cover 📸 The interior features a log cabin design, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of green hills and clear waters. Order a cup of coffee with a light meal, and you won't get tired of sitting here from afternoon to sunset. It gets a bit crowded on holidays, but this healing view is worth it! 🍜 A guide to carbohydrate happiness Gao Ji Spicy Beef Noodles A noodle shop secretly loved by the locals!

Xinyang Hotel Review | Century Star (Near Railway Station Tianrun Plaza) Century Star Hotel (Xinyang Railway Station Tianrun Plaza Branch) Shihe District - 60 Xinhua East Road I booked the Zero Pressure King Room, which includes: Smart Control (Xiaodu Xiaodu) Refrigerator + 65-inch Screen Mirroring TV + Zero Pressure Bedding + Breakfast. Because there were no available rooms when I arrived, I was upgraded to a Tea Art King Room for FREE, which is the Zero Pressure King Room with an additional tea table (see picture). Location: Excellent, right across from the South Square of Xinyang Railway Station, in the same building as Ji Hotel, but at a better price and more intelligent. Call "Xiaodu" for full house smart control. The theme color of the entire room is bean green, which is very fresh and beautiful. There are bathrobes with fleece lining. The room's heating is very powerful, and the toilet is a three-part separation. The toilet is smart, and the toilet seat is warm. I stayed for two nights and basically didn't hear any noise.

Guys, I've discovered a "secret base" in Xinyang - a brand new, amazing hotel! As soon as you step into the room, it's so clean that I feel like I could roll around on the floor and get up without a speck of dust on me (it's that clean). The entire living environment is brand new, like stepping into a dream space that has just been cleaned by angels. The bathroom sink, shower, and toilet are separate, with excellent wet and dry separation. Plus, the gym and laundry room maximize happiness. The room design is also amazing. The air conditioner outlet even has hooks, making it super convenient to dry clothes. With smart home configurations, you must come and experience it in Xinyang. I guarantee you won't want to leave!

Pillow Yourself in the Fragrance of Tea and Nest in a Sea of Clouds Among the green hills and clear waters of southern Henan lies a secluded and independent retreat: the Xinyang Tea Plantation Homestay. Here, there is no noisy traffic, only the rustling of the breeze through thousands of acres of tea gardens; no dazzling neon lights, only the hazy poetry of the mountains shrouded in morning mist. If you yearn for a slow trip to breathe with nature and immerse yourself in the fragrance of tea, this is the place to return to. ------ Hidden in the Tea Mountains, Neighboring Nature The homestay is located in the heart of the Xinyang Maojian core production area—the high mountain tea garden in Shihegang Town. It is surrounded by mountains, and the terraced tea ridges undulate to the sky like emerald ripples. Open the window to see the green waves surging, and the clouds rising from the valleys, sometimes turning into light veils over the eaves, and sometimes winding around the mountains like white silk. In spring, pick new buds; in summer, listen to the cicadas; in autumn, taste fragrant tea; and in winter, enjoy the snow. The four seasons are full of picturesque beauty. ------ Tea Rhyme Enters the Building, Poetic Residence The homestay takes "tea" as its soul, cleverly blending Xinyang's thousand-year tea culture with modern aesthetics. The architecture uses local materials such as logs, blue bricks, and bamboo weaving. The eaves are low, like the initial display of tea buds. The courtyards are dotted with pottery pots, stone mills, and old tea sets, all exuding a simple rural atmosphere. The guest rooms are named after tea: "Yunjian," "Cuifeng," "Wuya"... Each room hides a unique view: either floor-to-ceiling windows facing the panoramic view of the tea mountain, or a private terrace shaded by bamboo forests. When night falls, brew a pot of Maojian, watch the stars fall into the tea fields, and it seems that only a cup of tea remains in the world. ------ Handmade Tea Affairs, Return to Simplicity Staying here, you are not only a passer-by, but also a participant in the tea mountain life. In the early morning, follow the tea farmers wearing straw hats and carrying bamboo baskets, gently pinching one bud and one leaf with your fingertips, and feel the coolness of the dew; in the afternoon, under the guidance of the tea artist, experience the ancient method of stir-frying and kneading green tea, and watch the green leaves flying and dancing in the iron pot, exuding a refreshing tea fragrance; in the evening, sit around the charcoal stove, cook tea with mountain spring water, and listen to the homestay owner tell the story of the Xinyang Tea Horse Ancient Road. When the tea soup enters your throat, your lips and teeth are full of the aura of heaven and earth. ------ Mountain Wild Taste, Pyrotechnic Qinghuan The homestay's pyrotechnics are hidden in the creative cuisine made with tea. Freshly picked tea buds are wrapped in egg liquid and lightly fried, crispy with a sweet aftertaste; the tea garden native chicken stewed in a firewood stove, served with wild mushrooms, has a golden soup color and is so fresh that your eyebrows fall off; even an ordinary bowl of rice has its own fragrance because tea soup is added during steaming. The ingredients are taken from the mountains, and the cooking returns to its original taste. Every meal is a gift from the mountain residence. ------ Roaming Guide: Secret Realm Outside the Tea Mountain If you want to explore more, the homestay is an ideal starting point: • A 10-minute walk to the "Tea Mountain Cloud Sea" viewing platform, at dawn, watch the sunrise gild the thousands of acres of tea gardens; • Ride a bicycle through the secluded bamboo forest path, and encounter a mountain stream, scoop up a handful of water to wash away the dust; • Drive 20 minutes to the shore of Nanwan Lake, boating on the blue waves, overlooking the reflection of the tea mountain like ink; • In late autumn, the red leaves of the nearby Bolder Forest Park are intertwined with the tea fields, like an overturned palette. ------ Check-in Tips 📍 Address: Tea Mountain, Shihegang Town, Shihe District, Xinyang City 🌿 Featured Experiences: Tea picking and tea making, tea ceremony courses, mountain riding, and stargazing camping 🍵 Best Season: April–May for spring tea picking season, October–November for autumn tea tasting period Here, time seems to be stretched by the mountain breeze.
