2, Kaifeng
Fourth day
Lived in Kaifeng is Yuxiang Hotel, the hotel looked at the environment in general, but very good location, on the downtown night market from the Drum Tower is only 500 meters away from the major attractions are also close. He lived in a "viewing rooms", each day 318, indoor floor to ceiling windows you can watch city, although do not see any spots, but the room is spacious enough to have 40 square meters, equipment is also good, very comfortable. Kaifeng rental, including Xiali, Yueda, Alto, Ingle and many other cars are starting 5 yuan 3 kilometers, 1 yuan per kilometer. However, viewing the city's main attractions three rickshaw ride can be, the price of 2-3 yuan, do not take the "friction" and expensive big noise, annoy travel was. As the Yellow River flooding, now no longer the year Bianliang Kaifeng, Kaifeng is basically the current location of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty under the ground, and then following the city of Tokyo is the Song Dynasty. It is said that Tokyo Bianliang more than a million people, the scale is even bigger than today's Kaifeng. Is large compared to the first Temple (ticket 20), the door is very lively, engaged in national 4A scenic listing ceremony, led to a bunch of monks, but also setting off firecrackers also play music. The Great Temple there is no phase of the Lu Zhishen Chuiyangliu pulling down the garden, I heard that today's large relative to the original Temple is only 1 / 18, but I have doubts about this argument, because now is not the size of a small temple, the most well-known building is Rohan Hall, outside the tube is a circle octagonal gallery, decorated with fairy Arhat Buddha sculpture in the middle of the pavilion stood the town of Temple treasure - Qianshouqianyan Goddess of Mercy, is a veteran artist in the Qing Dynasty It took 50 years to use one whole white carved fruit trees. Then go to memorial temple, this building is built in 80 years and there are a Bao Lake, tickets are 20, and only two Jinyuan La, there is nothing to watch, but out of honest and upright official symbols of respect, or to visit about. Bao's view of Lake east Yanqing (tickets 10 yuan), which is Qiu Chuji built to commemorate the teacher Wang Chong-yang, Wang Kaifeng l ya live is the. Yanqing view of the scale was large, the whole truth, one of the three Taoist temples, and today only the main building Yuhuang Ge, the following section have been buried 80 years has cleared out, so now it is a semi-underground status, Yu Huangge internal dome more interesting, like a yurt, of course, is because the built in the Yuan Dynasty's sake. Yanqing pull me to the concept of driver wearing a red vest that read similar to "contribute to Kaifeng civilization", then people are very warm, I entered the Yanqing concept introduced me to the active sites, although not quite so professional tour guides, but obviously read quite a few books, back up is also a set of. In the Song Dynasty Kaifeng sand table, he picked up the pole to explain, tell me this is the place where Yang sell knives. So, I take his car to see the mountain Shaanxi-Gansu Hall (tickets 10 yuan), where the original is said to be the official residence of Xu Da, but not the size of the existing large, relatively well-known here, is the brick and wood carvings, especially the Basilica seven under the wooden eaves, very delicate, if not well-intentioned driver careful explanations, do not see so many beauty. There is also a decorated archway have more features, is a 3 6 with wooden pillars. Temporary out when the driver reminded me that the door had a bell tower is free, and the ancient bell musical, this play do not forget this.
Kaifeng attractions in close proximity, so there is plenty of time to eat, at noon to the old and famous, "another new" taste of the dishes here, baked carp and you're pouring carp sweet juice, covered with a layer of very fine face silk, dirty restaurant is also very confusing. Continue after an afternoon nap sleep tour, gone to the fan (PO) Tower (5 yuan tickets), the tower away from the other main attractions, in a very remote small alley in Qiguaibaguai along the walls, painted on the signs can be found next to the Yuwang Taiwan, I did not go. Fan-tower closed the airport to leave the very close, which is a military airport, we have an aircraft taking off and landing every few minutes, all propeller planes, planes flew over the city of Kaifeng. Fan-tower is now the only remaining tower, built in the Northern Song Dynasty peaceful and rejuvenating years, the city's newly built than the "ancient architecture" is a real treasure, they must look at this tower of the original nine-layer, and later destroyed only 3-layer, but also added a hat on top, so the formation of today's unique shape, the outer shaft countless Zhuanke Buddha, also known as the Tower of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Outanane can enter a layer from the side, from the north into the tower, climbed 72 tall, steep steps you can take them to the three layers.
Fan-tower resort to car from the money to the seven north-east of the tower in Kaifeng tickets is 20, Henan attractions is the ticket too expensive, but also rising in other cities matter whether such a concentration of Kaifeng attractions, each is so expensive, It makes too much. Tower is not a cast-iron, but glazed brick, mainly red and black colors, it appears that iron tower for the pavilion-style, 13-storey more than 50 meters, but also built in the Northern Song Dynasty, after earthquakes, floods, and the Japanese artillery fire, but still still exists is a miracle. Denta have tickets, the equivalent of climbing 20-story high-rise, too tired, and no up. There is a monument of secular music can draw the ancient Buddhist statues, now in the top seal of a temple to be protected, tower there are lakes and nice scenery.
Tower Park is already out of the evening, to Longting too late, and went to the front of the Song Du Longting Royal Street to buy souvenirs. Kaifeng everywhere selling "Painting Scroll", there is paper, but also silk, and very cheap, though printed, but the light mounting hand on a very troublesome, it is not necessarily go to Kaifeng to buy the so-called specialty of peanut cake, Bao Bean, the so-called Bao Bean who is to peanut leather dyed black, and does not taste also particularly expensive. But must buy "Qingming Riverside" When the gift, the absolute value of the specific price I will not say, after all, I have bought pieces give as gifts. Drum Tower at night go to the famous night market to eat snacks, here is a bus stop during the day, night to push for a lot of car, swing-up stalls to have not been very health, but taste really good, especially the yellow fish stew.
Fifth day
The morning on the first go Longting, here tickets 25, the door is a corridor leading to the front left and right are two lakes, the west Yang Lake, east Pan Lake, Yang lake has a lot of people swimming, Pan Lake is a no . Over an arched bridge, and then walk a kilometer away only to "Longting" This is a palace built on a high platform, is governor of Henan Yongzheng Emperor Shi-Jun Wang to repair the palace is not the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yang lake west of the two sites to the north-han hospital Forest of Stone Tablets, was the capital were built in recent years, Li Gongtao the south is completely in accordance "Qingming Riverside" in view of the clear and bright on the river to build parks, ticket 30, though man-made landscape, it is not worth a play, which apart from some restaurants, a small kiosks selling souvenirs, the main contents of performances, tickets are printed on time and performance venues, in fact, coming and going along with the tour group will know where to see what, there is juggling, swallowing Fire performances, Liangshan hero robbed execution ground, etc., was quite interesting. From here out, it went straight to carry the luggage to the coach station in Zhengzhou. (Katayama Kaiko September 22)
