Full Description

Renmin Park: Start your day like a local with a relaxing walk in Renmin Park. This green oasis in central Zhengzhou is where locals gather for morning tai chi, dancing, and fishing. A peaceful way to feel the rhythm of the city.

Pingdeng Street & Fuminli Alley: Explore Zhengzhou’s lesser-known historic core with red-brick houses, old street lamps, and emerging street art. Fuminli is a creative zone hidden in the city’s traditional neighborhood, with indie cafés, bookstores, and vintage architecture.

Haitan Street & Zhengzhou Memory Creative Park: Step into a repurposed industrial complex where old oil tanks and factory machines have become art installations and shops. This is the perfect place to see how Zhengzhou blends gritty history with youthful energy.

Henan Museum: Discover one of China’s top museums, home to ancient bronze drums, pottery, and musical instruments. This is a gateway to understand the deep roots of Chinese civilization. (Museum closed on Mondays, will be replaced by Zhengzhou Museum).

Traditional Block Printing Workshop: Just a short walk from the museum, take part in a hands-on block printing session. Learn about this ancient printing craft and make your own souvenir using traditional tools and patterns.

Shang Dynasty Archaeological Site Park: Visit the remains of the 3,600-year-old Shang capital — a UNESCO-listed archaeological site in the heart of modern Zhengzhou. Walk along the ancient city walls and imagine life in early dynastic China. (Site Park closed on Mondays, will be replaced by Zijinshan Park).

Jiankang Road Night Market: End the tour at Zhengzhou’s most iconic street food market. You can find all delicacies from spicy noodles and crispy skewers to sweet rice cakes. This is where the city truly comes alive at night — full of lights, laughter, and delicious smells.
