How to control daily trip intensity in Henan, and what departure time is reasonable?

[Direct conclusion] 【Regular groups leaving at 08:00 is early; we suggest depart 08:30–09:00, lunch at 12:30, wrap by 17:30. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Intensity is controlled by 'one or two main sights per day + midday rest + drives under 2.5 hours + leave blue-hour space'.】 Recommended daily start-stop rhythm: Intensity tiers: Four intensity controls: ◆ Cap total drive: under 2.5 hours a day; split intercity across days. 2. ◆ Institutionalise midday rest: especially in summer, the afternoon break rescues state. 3. ◆ Cut points, don't overtime: if short on time, drop a sight rather than compress each. 4. ◆ Leave blue-hour space: don't fill the evening; keep whitespace for night views and rest. Note: Leave extra buffer for the peak season crowds at the scenic areas.
