Henan 3-day Tour | Zhengzhou+Kaifeng Zhongyuan Cultural Line, Henan Museum+Qingming Shanghe Garden+Kaifeng Prefecture One time Crossing

I don't want to climb mountains, I just want to see the cultural relics of the Central Plains and the Song Dynasty culture on the 3-day line: Zhengzhou sees the Henan Museum in one day, Kaifeng plays the Qingming Shanghe Garden, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Daxiangguo Temple in two days, and the entire subway and high-speed rail journey has a high cultural concentration.

How to choose the number of days

Give Zhengzhou 1 day and Kaifeng 2 days in 3 days. Kaifeng has a concentration of scenic spots with a slow pace, making it suitable for children or cultural enthusiasts.

Henan Museum

On the first day, Zhengzhou (Henan Museum+Erqi Tower+Dehua Street)

In the morning, Henan Museum: free of charge, but with a real name reservation on the official account, the main hall has basic displays (lotus and crane square pots, Jiahu bone flutes, Wu Zetian's gold slips) for about 2.5 hours.

Qingming Riverside Garden

Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:30 (closing at 16:00), closed on Mondays. Daytime tickets will be released 5 days in advance at 17:00.

In the afternoon, the Erqi Memorial Tower (free, climb the tower to overlook the Erqi Business District), walk along the Dehua Pedestrian Street to the Chenghuang Temple, where cultural creativity and snacks live together.

Stay near Zhengzhou East Station at night to facilitate the high-speed train to Kaifeng the next day.

The next day, Zhengzhou → Kaifeng (Qingming Shangheyuan+Da Song · Dongjing Menghua)

The Zhengzhou East Kaifeng North high-speed railway takes about 20 minutes, with second-class seats costing about 25 yuan and frequent schedules.

Qingming Shanghe Garden Day Session costs 120 yuan/Night Session costs 100 yuan. It is recommended to enter the garden at 8:30 am and enter through the welcome door.

In the morning, I watched Duke Bao's inspection, Bian River transportation, and Yue Fei's spear picking of the Little Liang King; In the afternoon, walk through Shui Mun and Kowloon Bridge; In the evening, the live performance of "Da Song: Tokyo Dream of Splendor" will be held (with an additional purchase starting at approximately 249 yuan, and a reservation must be made one day in advance).

Night tour until 22:00, the Hongqiao and Goulan tile houses under the lights are very picturesque.

Stay in the downtown area of Kaifeng (next to Gulou Night Market).

On the third day, Kaifeng Prefecture+Daxiangguo Temple+Kaifeng Museum → Return journey

In the morning of Kaifeng Prefecture (adult 65), there will be a live performance of "Judge Judge Bao" at 9:30 and 10:30, respectively, in the lobby of the government office, Qianlong Palace, and Yingwu Building.

At noon, I had soup dumplings, stir fried liangfen, and almond tea at Gulou Night Market.

In the afternoon, visit the Thousand Armed Thousand Eyed Guanyin at Daxiangguo Temple (about 40 yuan), and then go to Kaifeng Museum (free reservation required, closed on Mondays) to catch a glimpse of Song Dynasty porcelain.

In the evening, take the Kaifeng North/Kaifeng Station high-speed railway back to Zhengzhou East, and then transfer to the high-speed railway or return to the airport.

Budget (per capita, approximately)

Transportation 200+tickets 250+accommodation 280+catering 180=approximately 910 yuan.

Avoiding pitfalls reminder

1. The Henan Museum will be closed on Monday, and the national holiday will be adjusted. Please check the announcement in advance.

2. "The Song Dynasty: Tokyo Dream" will be cancelled on rainy days, and tickets can be rescheduled or refunded.

3. Kaifeng's scenic spots are close, so riding a shared bike is more time-saving than taking a taxi.

First time in Zhengzhou, everything unfamiliar, but the experience was excellent. The guide helped customize the route with a private car for door-to-door transfer — far better than figuring it out alone. — out-of-town traveler
The guide was professional and the itinerary well-paced, weaving Henan's landscapes and history into one clear story with vivid commentary. Great value for money, highly recommended. — multi-day traveler
From booking onward there was a dedicated person coordinating and briefing us on trip notes in advance. Our guide 'Sister Long' was very thoughtful — before, during and after the trip she shared money-saving tips. We will recommend Junwei to friends and family next time. — family traveler
Convenient and affordable — no need to rush around for buses ourselves. Ticket and meal booking were both good deals; one-stop and hassle-free. — ticket/meal booking client
