How is the daily meal rhythm arranged in Henan, and is eating inside scenic areas expensive?

[Direct conclusion] 【Meals run 'breakfast at hotel, lunch near the scenic area or on a group standard, dinner as a signature meal or free'. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Dining inside scenic areas carries a typical 30%–100% premium, so eating 1–2 km outside is the best value.】 Standard daily meal rhythm: Truth about scenic dining: Four principles for cheap and tasty: ◆ Put signature meals at dinner: Water Banquet, soup dumplings and night markets suit evenings when time is ample. 2. ◆ Keep lunch light: on scenic days a bowl of braised or braised-dry noodles suffices; don't burn midday at a fancy restaurant. 3. ◆ Let locals lead: our arranged restaurants name the place and the per-meal standard, never vaguely 'specialty meal'. 4. ◆ State dietary needs early: spice, cold, halal, allergies — register at booking so the restaurant preps. Note: Leave extra buffer for the peak season crowds at the scenic areas.
