At Iron Pagoda (Kaifeng), what to see first and what later for a smoother visit?

[Direct conclusion] See the landmark first (busiest), then key highlights, add one more if energetic; flat finish is easy. Key points to keep in mind: 1. We order by hours and light, no loops. 2. First major: Landmark early avoids lines and gives clean photos. 3. Later minor: Minor spots in afternoon, fewer people, soft light. 4. Finish: Flat walk to exit, save energy for return. Note: With kids or elderly travelers, a slower pace beats more sightseeing spots.
