Only Henan's 4th Anniversary / Sincerity is the Ultimate Skill Only Henan is celebrating its 4th anniversary! The wheat has turned golden, and it's harvest time! After seeing the official account's anniversary post and the livestream of the Wheatfield Music Festival, I wanted to share some of the lovely little details that make "Only Henan" special. It's these small, often overlooked touches that create such a wonderful visitor experience. 1️⃣ Guidance: Throughout the park, staff members holding directional signs can be seen everywhere, thoughtfully pointing out the locations of each theater. 2️⃣ Theater Experience: Before every performance, staff remind attendees via signs and announcements to silence their phones and avoid using flash, ensuring an uninterrupted viewing experience. 3️⃣ Food Prices: The food in the park isn't overpriced—it's slightly higher than outside (by about ¥10?), which is reasonable. 4️⃣ Midday Break: There are places to rest at noon! During the hottest part of the day after lunch, staff directed us to the Wheat Wave Restaurant, where there are plenty of seating areas and even steps to lie down on—highly appreciated! 5️⃣ Lawn Concert: While watching the plays, I discovered a small program called the "Lawn Concert," held every 20 minutes. A singer performs two songs, then randomly invites audience members to sing two more, ensuring visitors are entertained even if they miss a show. 6️⃣ Queue Entertainment: While waiting in line for theaters, there are mini-performances too. For longer queues, magicians or sunglasses-wearing dancers keep the wait fun. 7️⃣ Flowers 🌹: The park entrance isn't just surrounded by vast wheat fields—inside, countless beautiful flowers bloom. The hydrangea sea near the Waiting Hall is particularly stunning. "Only Henan" puts heart even into its gardening! 8️⃣ Farewell Ceremony: At closing time, actors gather at the exit for a lively send-off, full of energy and happy to take photos with visitors. 9️⃣ After returning, I checked the official account of the park's farming team and asked about hydrangea care. They replied with a long, detailed comment—so kind! It's been a month since my visit, but the memories still bring warmth and joy. Thank you to the dedicated team behind "Only Henan"—wishing it continued success! ❤️

After seeing *Only Henan*, I've finally completed Wang Chaoge's "Only" series. Personally, I think *Only Henan* is the most outstanding so far, like a mirage rising from a village. It's currently the off-season, so we spent 2 days leisurely enjoying all the shows without any queues. It was fantastic! · 👉Photo spot recommendations: 📌Entrance rice paddy: The colorful characters of "Only Henan". The decorations change according to the season. Remember to take a photo with the postcard you get at the entrance. 📌Gate crack: The entrance to the walled city. The light forms an angle in the afternoon. 📌Earthen walls: Right after entering. You can buy a matching loaf of bread inside for a photo op.🍞 📌Qian Platform: First area after turning right upon entering. 📌Chair Array: First area after walking straight through the earthen walls. 📌Mobile Story House: The red carpet extends onto the wall, creating a strong three-dimensional effect. 📌Dougong inside the wall: At the exit of "Su Shi's Henan". 📌Wooden stakes with characters: In the grid to the left of the Mobile Story House. 📌Giant "Cloth Tiger" on the wall: At the south entrance/exit of the Earth Pit Courtyard. 📌Earth Pit Courtyard: Home to various cultural and creative shops. For example, there are many small tigers and cute Buddha statues at the entrance of "Cloth Tiger and Clay Dog". 📌2nd floor of the Earth Pit Courtyard: An aerial platform with lots of wheat growing on it. 📌Henan version of Colonel Sanders: There's a Colonel Sanders wearing a Henan vest at the Wheat Wave Restaurant. · In short, if you're visiting Zhengzhou, the Henan Museum and *Only Henan* are must-sees! 👉Let's dedicate the comments section to *Only Henan*!

Only Henan❗️ is enough for a strategy to avoid pitfalls by reading this article! ! ✔️It is recommended to purchase tickets in advance through official channels (🍊/official website), and you can choose a one-day ticket or a two-day ticket 🎫1-day ordinary ticket: 1 main play + a small play in the park 🎫2-day all-access ticket: 3 main plays + a small play in the park, unlimited entry within 2 days ⏰Business hours: 10:00-20:00, free luggage storage service 🎞️Three main plays: Railway Station, Lijia Village, Fantasy City If you buy a one-day ticket and can only watch one main play, I recommend you to watch the Railway Station or Lijia Village, the immersive + marching performance is more exciting. Fantasy City is a sit-down performance, so the immersiveness is not very strong in comparison. ✔️"Lijia Village": A touching rural story that shows the tenacity and kindness of the people of Henan. ✔️"Railway Station": Seeing the big picture from the small, through the story of the railway station, it shows the ups and downs of the fate of Henan people in the torrent of history. ✔️"Fantasy City": Ace performances, immersive experience, stunning audio-visual effects, travel through time and space, and feel the profoundness of Henan culture. 🎞️Small theater There are many small theaters, it is recommended that you queue up first ✔️"Cao Cao's Wheat Field" ✔️"Su Shi's Henan" ✔️"Lijia Village Tea Shop" ✔️"The Emperor's Six-wheeled Driving Site Pit" I personally think these four plays are more exciting! ! If you only have one day, you can choose not to watch other small theaters, but you must watch these first! ! If you have extra time after watching the show, you can go to other small theaters~ (usually you won’t have extra time after watching the show...) ✔️《Red Temple School》 is also recommended a lot online, but as a post-90s person, I don’t feel very involved in the school scenes of the old times, and it has little to do with my childhood. . . Maybe those born in the 70s and 80s will feel like they are reliving their childhood? 🚖Transportation •Bus: "Leyou Bus" S605 (Zijingshan), S606 (City Sports Center, Zhengzhou East Station) •Metro: Line 8 (Lumiao Station), transfer to bus "Special Line 1" or "You 798" •High-speed rail: Green Expo Park Station, transfer to bus "Special Line 1" or "You 798" 🍜Food ✔️Dikanyuan Gathering special snacks from all over Henan, stewed noodles, spicy soup, Kaifeng soup dumplings. . . ✔️Mailang Restaurant There are many restaurants in the mall, and the prices are acceptable.

❤The dreamy nighttime visuals at OnlyHenan: Drama Fantasy City are truly stunning. Lit up like a starry sky, the park takes on an otherworldly feel. The entire fantasy city sparkles under the night lights, transporting you to a magical fairytale world. ❤At night, the fantasy city comes alive with not only light shows but also various projection shows. Visitors can take photos and enjoy an immersive experience. Using laser projection technology, the light show displays *Along the River During the Qingming Festival* and *A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains* on the long rammed earth wall, vividly recreating historical scenes. It's like a giant scroll, incredibly impressive. The light show is not just a visual feast; it also tells cultural stories. By showcasing Henan's history, culture, and spirit through the light show, visitors can appreciate the profoundness of Central Plains culture while enjoying the spectacle. ❤Stroll through the fantasy city at night and experience the perfect fusion of light and architecture. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, you'll feel like you've stepped into a magical world that blends history and futurism. ❤The lights illuminate the fantasy city's winding corridors, decorative roof ridges, and corner towers, perfectly highlighting the architectural details and contours. Bathed in the night lights, these structures appear even more magnificent. ❤The nighttime light show at OnlyHenan: Drama Fantasy City is not just a visual feast but also a perfect blend of culture and technology, offering an unforgettable immersive experience.

First: It’s so photogenic! You can take good photos everywhere. Second: The show is also good! We chose one that tells the story of Su Shi and a Lijiacun Theater! The difference from ordinary drama is that the audience has a stronger immersive experience. If you don’t want to wait in line, you can pay extra to purchase VIP access to each show. Worth a look! Third: There are also various restaurants in the park, and I personally feel that the supporting facilities are very mature.

Henan: A Millennial Journey Through the Central Plains🎇 Hey everyone👋, the "Only Henan·Drama Fantasy City" is absolutely amazing! I went last week and was deeply moved. Here are three must-see spots I highly recommend. 📍Li Family Village Theater This large-scale immersive theater tells the story of Li Family Village and its residents struggling for survival during a famine, while also supporting each other. From the moment you step into the theater, you're transported to a time of hardship and hope. The actors' superb performances and the vivid storyline, especially the final scene where everyone willingly starves to protect the seeds, brought tears to my eyes😭. Here, I witnessed the resilience of the Henan people, their deep connection to the land, and the profound weight and legacy of life. 📍Tianzi Jia Liu Ruins Pit Stepping into this pit feels like traveling back in time. Inside the huge chariot pit, six horses pull a chariot, a truly awe-inspiring sight. Listening to the guide recount the historical stories behind it, I learned that the "Tianzi Jia Liu" (Emperor's Six-Horse Chariot) is an important embodiment of ancient rituals. In an instant, history transformed from dry words in a textbook to a vivid scene unfolding before my eyes. Here, you can truly touch the long and splendid history and culture of Henan and experience the former glory of Chinese civilization. 📍World of Light and Shadow (Light and Shadow Area near the Earth Pit Courtyard) When you're tired from exploring, come here to relax. The ground is covered in dazzling light and shadow patterns that change as you walk, creating a dreamlike fairy tale world🌈. There are also interactive installations that allow you to engage with the light and shadow, capturing stunning photos. In this space filled with technology and art, modernity and tradition blend seamlessly, offering a fantastic visual feast. "Only Henan" truly allows you to deeply experience the cultural charm of Henan. Every spot is worth savoring. Be sure to visit these three locations – I'm sure you'll fall in love with them too💖!
