What are the fun places in Kaifeng, Henan

I would like to answer this question with a new perspective. Personally, I think it depends on the season, and Kaifeng, with its typical temperate continental climate, has four distinct seasons, so every season has its own way of playing and eating. As a native of Kaifeng and lived in 21 years of people my answer may be more suitable for Kaifeng local people's habits, but come to a city in-depth experience of the life of the locals is not great ~

PS Kaifeng a little too much to summarize the delicious O_o I will be the location of the bold marked out, the delicious with underline marked out ~

PS Temple door is the East Temple, the map search East Temple, the map is good, the map is good, the map is good. The street is called Cheongpyeong Nanbeijie and there are lots of good food in the neighborhood. There is a lot of good food in the neighborhood. Nearby bus stops are College Gate and Bianjing Bridge.

Spring is a must for trekking in the suburbs. When I was a kid, I loved to play along the Yellow River in the spring, and in March and April, I could see the pink peach blossoms and the large golden rape flowers. When the wind blows, the green wheat fields will appear beautiful wheat waves. It is very windy along the Yellow River and you can fly kites. At this time of year, there are more and more wild vegetables, there are also willows, cold mixed up very delicious, made into wild vegetable balls or buns are also very delicious. Toon scrambled eggs is also quite good, and the Yellow River carp, a large fresh Yellow River carp stewed in the sauce out of the taste, tsk tsk ~ I do not like to eat meat, but see a lot of people love to eat boiled and fried chicken I guess the taste is also good. In addition, it seems that you can also go to Zhengkai Avenue side of the strawberry picking, feel also quite fun. In addition, Kaifeng and Qingming have inseparable links - Qingming River Garden is built on the model of Qingming Riverside Drawing. Qingming time to stroll on the river garden, walk the rainbow bridge to catch the embroidered ball to see the fire-breathing and what think good, but now too many people in the Qingyuan is a long time have not been there. Kaifeng is also engaged in the Qingming Cultural Festival, organized in the street Qingming cultural parade is also quite interesting. In addition, the cherry blossoms and peonies in Yuwangtai are also worth seeing!

The water of the Yellow River gradually rises in May and June, and the roses in the rose garden by the Yellow River gradually begin to bloom. When I was young, I only went to the rose garden once to pick roses and made rose sauce at home, but the feeling is still fresh in my mind. Picking roses is a fun activity. Kaifeng's desserts made with roses are also a specialty, and this is the time when the old favorites (such as Wufu, Quanmei, and Pao Yao Ji) start to offer their flower cakes. Unlike rose cakes made with rose sauce, fresh flower cakes are filled with fresh petals and are really tasty with the crispy crust on the outside! A must try! There is also a rose cake at Wanjia that is very good ~ Besides roses, there is another kind of flower that is very good - acacia flower. There are many historical acacia trees planted on the city walls of Kaifeng, and it's time to bloom the sweet white acacia flowers, which are delicious cold or steamed with some noodles! Steamed acacia flowers are best eaten with sesame oil and garlic sauce, or scrambled eggs.

Duanwu Festival in Kaifeng, in addition to eating zongzi, there is also the custom of eating vegetable corners and deep-fried noodle cakes, which can be bought at any time now, so you can try it if you have a chance, but you still like to deep-fry the corners at home haha~

Then, at the end of the spring and beginning of the summer, Kaifeng's most famous thing at this time of the year is, of course, the Bianliang watermelon! The sandy soil makes Bianliang watermelon with thin skin and sandy flesh, and the watermelon in Kaifeng is also very cheap, basically no need to pick it, it is very sweet. At this time, families basically buy at least four or five large watermelons, hoarded at home a day to cut a simply not too happy ~ to the summer outside the school most missed is the Kaifeng watermelon ...... watermelon can also be made with fermented soybeans to make a delicious bean shener (I do not know exactly how to express the watermelon bean paste?), which is a special kind of Kaifeng people. This is a special sauce for Kaifeng people to accompany meals and can also be used to stir-fry vegetables. When I was a kid, I could eat a steamed bun with this sauce. In the summer, you can't miss a kind of unique food in Henan - wattle, clearing away heat and fire, with a unique flavor. For dessert, you can eat green bean cake, mint cake, pea sand cake. I especially love the Kaifeng mung bean cake, not sweet and not greasy body showing natural lovely green, biting into the sand.

Summer is too hot to go out during the day. In the morning, you can go to drink a bowl of spicy soup. Henan Hu spicy soup seems to be divided into very detailed, Kaifeng Hu spicy soup also has its own characteristics, you can go to the temple door (finally figured out what to call it, because the East Temple is there. The map can be searched "Dongda Temple") over there to drink Hui people's hot and spicy soup, put a little vinegar, sour and spicy. It's very good with fried pancakes, fritters, and other things! Of course, the spicy soup can also be eaten with oil buns, vegetable boxes, egg turtle, steamed bread and so on, is also quite a versatile food. In the evening, you must go out to see. How can you not mention the night market on a summer night? The history of Kaifeng night market can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, and it is famous all over the country. Famous night markets include Gulou Night Market and Xisi Night Market. Gulou is the biggest, but there are more foreign tourists and it seems to be a little more expensive. Xisi seems to locals eat a little more it, but I have not eaten for a long time night market ...... night market on the delicious too much, barbecue, ramen, oil splashed noodles, fried cold noodles (that is, fried with watermelon bean paste), baklava (sandwich lamb kebabs, sandwich vegetables, sandwich marinated bean curd, sandwich fried cold noodles, with you how to match), lamb kangbuns, baklava buns, almond tea, fried Sweet potato puree, cassoulet ...... Anyway, there are all kinds of delicious things. In addition to the summer in the Baogong Lake to eat fried ice fried yogurt and so on is also very good ~ after eating the night market of course, you need to exercise! If you eat in the West Division after the night market you can stroll the water system! Kaifeng has the reputation of "Venice of the East", now the water system project is particularly good, especially in the summer evening is very suitable for viewing. Baogong Lake East Lake and West Lake are now installed in the shore of a circle of colored lights, the day darkened when the lights are especially good, and then with a round of the moon or a tooth curved moon, the feeling is simply beautiful. From Baogong Lake to the north along the repaired water system can go all the way to the Qingming River Garden, all the way to see the colored lanterns dotted with them, as well as the lotus in the water. In addition, you can also enjoy the shore of the pavilion specializing in playing the guzheng, pipa, there are people singing songs. From time to time, there will also be song performances and the like. Along the way there are a couple of very distinctive bridges to walk along ~ and then you'll come to the newly renovated Qishengjiao, which is also a great place to eat, drink and take pictures. The whole way the water system gives people the feeling of dreaming back to a thousand years, Song Yun has been y printed in the soul of the city of Kaifeng. However, the water system must be seen at night in order to come out of the feeling, and you can also take a boat to play. Walking around the city wall at night is also very good ah, Kaifeng city wall can be comparable to the Xi'an, and now around the city wall to repair a circle around the city park many people will be here to exercise. Dancing square dance, playing taiji, playing gyro, practicing musical instruments, playing badminton, practicing five birds of prey, lively not.

In summer, you can also go to Tieta Park to see the lotus. Iron Tower history can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty, the war period was also bombed by the Japanese came down. Tie Ta Park entrance fee is not expensive, more exquisite, you can take your time to stroll around.

At this time the new peanuts are also coming on the market. The land in Kaifeng is very suitable for growing peanuts. Fried peanuts, deep-fried peanuts, five-spice peanuts, and vinegar-soaked peanuts are all good. But the most famous to count the peanut cake and Xing Shengde spicy peanuts it haha ~ original has always thought that the peanut cake is too sweet and delicious, and then out of the school to the roommate to bring a little by the way to taste their own feeling is quite delicious. These two kinds of foreign tourists to buy back to send people quite good, in fact, supermarkets have to buy do not need to wait in long lines elsewhere.

Like other cities in the north, fall is the best season of the year in Kaifeng, the sky is high, the temperature is moderate, suitable for a variety of places to play. It's a good time to walk the hutongs in the city. Hutongs in Kaifeng are mostly located in the city center, and are scattered in all directions from the Drum Tower. I do not know much about the hutongs, only know that Kaifeng has seven corners and eight alleys seventy-two hutongs, and feel that the hutongs or the locals to take stroll more reliable ...... can start from the old fourteen over there, all the way to the Catholic Church (seems to be the seat of the Henan Catholic Church General Assembly? Anyway, there are years), Liu Qingxia's former residence, Shanxi-Gansu Association Hall and so on. From the small hutongs to look up at the blue sky is still a great feeling ~ Drum Tower next to the bookstore street is also worth a visit, which is the only one in the country named after the bookstore street. In addition to the bookstore can also browse jewelry stores and so on, in addition to the bookstore street also has a lot of good food, Jinji pancake fruit, Quanmei, BaoYaoJi what, and a lot of selling casserole rice noodle casserole braised buns and so on the taste of the small store are not bad. Kaifeng people are very picky about food, probably by the Kaifeng delicious out of the habit. Before talking about Henan University, in fact, a hundred years of River University is also a very good place to play ah ~ a variety of buildings are on the age of the Republic of China style, in the campus can also be viewed from afar Tower ~

Mid-Autumn Festival you can taste the old-fashioned mooncakes in Kaifeng, the skin is crispy, filled with five kernels, icing sugar green and red silk, jujube paste, rose and so on, than the outer skin of the sticky Cantonese mooncake is much more tasty. In addition, the college gate side of the Beijing Museum of double hemp fire roast is also a bit similar to the moon cake, is also very delicious.

The most famous thing about Kaifeng in the fall is the chrysanthemums, right?

From the 11th onwards, Kaifeng has been inundated with foreign tourists. Dragon Pavilion, Qingyuan Garden, Hanyuan Monument Forest, Tieta, Tianbo Yangfu and other attractions are decorated with chrysanthemums, and it's still a pleasure to see so many flowers in the fall. Chrysanthemums can also be used in dishes, can be cold, and seems to have chrysanthemum hot pot.

When it comes to chrysanthemums, the Kaifeng dunking dumplings are said to be "lifted up like lanterns and put down like chrysanthemums". Whether it is meat or vegetarian three fresh food is delicious, I said it has been a long time since I ate the first floor usually go to the Huangjia Baozi. And also note that the Huang family baozi have some specialized open to outsiders to eat, as if the Caomen that are basically only local people to go. In addition, there are also some roadside store location is also good. Personally, I find the southern xiao long bao too sweet to get used to ...... In addition to similar skin wrapped with filling, there are also pot stickers and water fried buns are delicious. Pot stickers have Xingjia and Taoxiangju, water fried buns Zhouqiao's very famous can be eaten with hot pepper soup (Zhouqiao hot pepper soup hall can still be state-run oh). In addition, you can go to the drum tower near the new hotel to taste the traditional Hui people's food (fried stuffed eggs, fried eight pieces, braised buns and so on), as well as to go to the Henan Hotel, Zhongxing building to taste the Yu cuisine (carp baked noodles and so on). In fact, the Yu cuisine is a combination of east and west, north and south of the taste, the taste will not be very exciting but eat up very comfortable. I think the Yu cuisine is particularly nourishing haha.

When there is snow in the winter, you have to go to see the Royal Street of Songdu! I've seen a photo of the snowy Imperial Street before, and the accompanying text reads, "People in Kaifeng, more or less, have the solitude and loneliness of the people in the old imperial city roots". A snow, Kaifeng became Bianliang, the whole feeling of the ancient city out. Red walls and glazed tiles with white snow is very nice. (This time how began to brainstorm up the Water Margin, Lin Jiaotou wind snow mountain god temple haha)

Winter eat hot things especially happy. At this time of the morning, it is best to go to the East Temple (Temple Gate, Hui Min Street, if you take the bus to Bianjing Bridge or College Gate) to drink mutton soup, four flavors of vegetables, with pot helmets, the whole person will be warmed up in the spirit of the spirit of the full. There are also deep-fried rose candy cakes in Temple Gate, which are hot, crispy and sticky with sweet fillings, giving you a sense of satisfaction after taking a bite. In winter, there is also a street full of baked sweet potatoes, hungry and cold to buy a eat it. In addition to sweet potatoes, Kaifeng's white potatoes are also very delicious, eaten face like chestnuts, but especially sweet. Sugar fried chestnuts can not be missing, as well as sugar gourds, bookstore street south exit has several very famous, shopping when you can try. Sweet things to mention up three knife, as long as the sale of old-fashioned Kaifeng dessert store are sold. The first snow to have fried chicken beer is not it? Recommended provincial capital of the street in front of the technology fried chicken, every day a long line, who eat who knows. Yuwangtai and Forest Park will have a temple fair, Longting has a Lantern Festival, these are good places to go in winter. Don't eat in the open air in winter, go to the new Little Song City in the western suburbs to try Kaifeng food.

All in all it's better to come out and play with a happy mood and less complaining. As long as you stay in a good mood, going to a new place will feel new and fun. In addition, I am very happy that I can be born in Kaifeng, this seems to be a little down, low-key but full of heritage of the ancient capital, this food paradise. Nowadays, when it comes to holidays, the streets of Kaifeng are full of cars, and the layout of the roads in the old city is really a little bit too much to hold. However, as Kaifeng people see Kaifeng so hot or a little proud, I hope you come to Kaifeng to play happy (≧▽≦)
