Kaifeng Girlfriend Trip | Stay at Kaifeng Kaiyuan Mingdu by Jinming Pool and Explore the "Chinese Disneyland"

| Stay at Kaifeng Kaiyuan Mingdu by Jinming Pool and Explore the "Chinese Disneyland." Kaifeng Girlfriend Trip | Stay at Kaifeng Kaiyuan Mingdu by Jinming Pool and Explore the "Chinese Disneyland." Wansui Mountain, this plan is highly praised! During summer vacation, I planned a spontaneous trip to Kaifeng with my girlfriends and unexpectedly became a huge fan of Wansui Mountain Song Dynasty Martial Arts City — this place is basically China’s own Disneyland! Adventure by day, watch intangible cultural heritage performances by night, and stay at the Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel overlooking Jinming Pool. My girlfriends took so many photos that their phone storage was almost full, and in the end, one said: "Next time you have to be the trip planner!" 🏠 Highly recommended accommodation: Kaifeng Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel 📍 Location is perfect: The hotel is right by Jinming Pool, with large rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies. You can enjoy the lake view from the balcony in the morning or in the cooler evenings! If you have time, take a stroll along the lakeside boardwalk — it feels amazing. A taxi to Wansui Mountain and other major attractions takes about 15 minutes. There are also buses right outside the hotel that go directly to the scenic spots, making it very convenient. Compared to the area around the attractions, it’s much quieter and the traffic is smooth. ✨ Highlights that made my girlfriends scream with excitement: 🍰 Lakeview afternoon tea: The lobby bar offers a Chinese-style afternoon tea set with lotus seed pastries and iced lychee wine. Perfect for photos with the shimmering pool water, guaranteed to get hundreds of likes on social media! PS: I heard this is a limited-time product, not sure if it’s still available now. 🥹 Thoughtful service: It was my girlfriend’s birthday, and the hotel quietly sent a small cake and a handwritten card — such a lovely surprise! 🤳 Boardwalk photo shoot: The several-kilometer lakeside boardwalk is full of lotus ponds. To get great shots in the summer heat, we wore Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing). Make sure to bring a friend who’s good at photography — the photos turned out amazing! 🎡 Wansui Mountain activities: Immerse yourself as a martial arts heroine for a day ⏰ Schedule: Enter the park at 3:00 PM → watch the iron flower performance at 9:30 PM and then leave. The night show is the soul of the experience! 👭 Must-visit spots for girlfriends: 🤺 Martial arts street drama: Get free props (swords/folding fans) from NPCs and act out scenes with characters like "Ximen Qing" and "Pan Jinlian." My girlfriends laughed so hard playing the onlookers they almost leaned against the wall. 🏮 Lantern maze (lights on after dark): Wear Hanfu and take silhouette photos. Using portrait mode on your phone instantly creates a "Legend of the Demon Cat" vibe! 🥣 Hongqiao Night Market: Recommended martial arts-themed milk tea "Drunken Immortal Brew," with cups labeled by "Beggar Sect" and "Emei Sect" — a collector’s dream. 💄 Costume tips: Rent Hanfu outside the park (including hairstyling), choose deep colors like red or black to match the martial arts setting! Bring your own lipstick for touch-ups — sitting in the front row during performances can cause makeup to fade (don’t ask how I know). 🥤 Exclusive itinerary suggestions for girlfriends: Day 1: Check into the hotel → visit the huge Fresh Breeze supermarket at Kaiyuan Plaza → take Instagram-worthy photos at the hotel pool → immersive experience at Wansui Mountain. Day 2: Take photos at Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden, the same scenes as in "A Dream of Splendor" → snack on chicken leg pancakes at Hed University Night Market → return to the hotel (the park is huge and tiring, perfect for resting and recharging). Day 3: Photograph the carved porch at the Shanxi-Gansu-Shaanxi Guild Hall → hunt for creative souvenirs on Bookstore Street. 💫 Girlfriend experience report: "Compared to waiting 2 hours for 1 minute of fun at Disneyland, Wansui Mountain is truly thoughtful! The actors perform acrobatics right next to you, making the immersion total. The lake view room at Kaiyuan Mingdu wakes you up with sunlight and shimmering water — I didn’t want to check out!" — by a fully supportive girlfriend
