Attraction Introduction: The highlight of the itinerary is [0]. [0] is located in Luanchuan, known for its vast bamboo forests, cascading waterfalls, and the agricultural scenery of western Henan. Each area, Jinji River and Dicu River, has its own waterfall clusters. You can stay at a farmhouse and try wild mountain vegetables.

Among them, Jinji River, Dicu River, and Water Curtain Fairy Palace are the most worth seeing in detail.

Tips: There are many mountain paths and steps. The wind is strong and temperatures are low on the mountain, so a light jacket and non-slip sneakers are safer. Slow down and walk carefully on wet slippery surfaces. Be sure to bring your ID and other valid documents, follow the guide throughout, and remember the meeting times and locations. Tourists generally regard [0] as the highlight of the itinerary, so it is recommended to slow down, listen to the guide’s explanations, and not just focus on rushing.

Today's in-depth experience: reserve a whole day to follow the storyline, focusing on the main plays and well-reviewed small plays; dine and rest within the park, and finish by evening. If time is tight, concentrate on the core, prioritizing Only Henan's prized collection and representative exhibits, and just take a brief look at the rest.

Attraction introduction: On this trip to Only Henan, Only Henan·Drama Fantasy City is a theatrical settlement themed around Yellow River civilization and Henan history, with dozens of theaters offering immersive storytelling, and the loess walls and wheat fields forming a phenomenally popular cultural photo spot.

Tips: There is quite a bit of walking between attractions, so choose comfortable and breathable shoes to save effort. Also, bring a light jacket for temperature changes. Keep your ID and other valid documents with you, stay close to the guide, and remember the meeting times and places. Generally speaking, children usually have the patience for explanations for only about ten minutes; if they can't follow the explanations, take them to a vacant area to run around. In practice, Only Henan·Drama Fantasy City centers on drama, and it is difficult to see all the theaters in one day, so it is recommended to plan in advance which productions you want to see.

Assemble in the morning and set off for Mount Song. Follow the guide along the main route, visiting each key spot, and allow plenty of time for photos and rest. At noon, enjoy a local specialty meal. In the afternoon, continue exploring in depth. In the evening, check into the hotel to rest and recharge for the next day's itinerary. Make sure to bring water, sun protection, and a light jacket, as on Mount Song the weather alternates between sun and shade on the mountain—being prepared is better than being caught off guard.

Attraction Introduction: A highlight arranged in the itinerary is Mount Song. Mount Song is the central peak among the Five Great Mountains, divided into Mount Taishi and Mount Shaoshi, where Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism converge. The “Center of Heaven and Earth” historical building complex has been listed as a World Heritage Site. You can climb the towering peaks for panoramic views, visit Songyang Academy, Zhongyue Temple, and the Observatorium, experiencing the integration of Chinese rituals with the mountains. Among these, Shaolin Temple, Songyang Academy, and Zhongyue Temple are most worth a detailed look.

Tips: Much of the itinerary involves mountain activities, and the weather can be changeable with cooler mornings and evenings. Bringing an extra jacket and wearing non-slip athletic shoes will make you more comfortable. Pay extra attention when walking on wet steps and boardwalks. Keep your documents with you, follow the guide closely, and remember the meeting arrangements. Mount Song is considered by many visitors as the most unforgettable stop of the trip, so it is recommended to allocate enough time to explore and take photos slowly. In practice, walking from the transfer point usually takes more than ten minutes; if driving, arrive early, or consider taking the sightseeing bus.

Transfer to the departure terminal per your booked train or flight; keep travel documents and tickets in your carry-on.
