🎪 Chrysanthemum viewing + performance route plan

✅ Morning (9:00-12:00) Floral sea stroll
Enter from the north gate to get a map and show schedule, then enjoy chrysanthemums and take photos along Martial Arts Road, boldly interact with “heroes” and “constable” NPCs. Arrive at Happy Forest before 10:00 to grab a seat for “Drunkenly Beating Jiangmen God,” full of martial arts atmosphere.

✅ Noon (12:00-13:00) Jianghu meal
Rush to Water Margin Street for food! Must-try spicy tofu buns from Sun Erniang and lamb stuffed flatbread, then a bowl of almond tea to refresh. About 20 RMB per person to eat until full.

✅ Afternoon (13:00-18:00) Hardcore show watching
Arrive at the city fortress battlefield half an hour before 15:30 to get left-side high seats. The live-action horse battle and fireworks in “Three Attacks on Zhu Family Village” are super shocking. During breaks, go to Jiulong Waterfall to shoot chrysanthemums with the waterfall in the frame—few people and great photos.

✅ Evening (18:00-22:00) Night banquet in Jianghu
Arrive 40 minutes before 19:30 to get center seats at the city fortress battlefield for the iron flower show. The 1600℃ molten iron bursting in the night sky is amazing! Afterward, go to the north gate to watch the “Shenzhou Legend” water curtain fireworks. The chrysanthemum fragrance mixed with fireworks is super romantic.

📌 Pitfalls to avoid & practical tips

1. Tickets & transportation: Adult tickets are 80 RMB for three days of unlimited fun! Half price for students and seniors. After arriving at Kaifeng North High-Speed Rail Station, take a ride-hailing car for 25 RMB directly—don’t take detouring taxis.
2. Time-saving tips: Follow the official WeChat account for real-time show guides. Be sure to reserve seats early for “Three Attacks on Zhu Family Village” and “Iron Flower.” Bring a folding chair to save your legs.
3. Outfit & gear: Wearing Hanfu makes chrysanthemum photos stand out! Bring a power bank and mosquito repellent. Water Margin Street offers free ice cubes, so no need to buy extra water[__LINK_ICON].
4. Accommodation recommendations: For convenience, choose homestays near the scenic area. For a higher budget, pick the Jianye Pullman Hotel, which is also close to Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden for a combined visit.

Late October to late November is the best flower viewing period. Take advantage of the crisp autumn weather and rush over! Spend a day as a hero in the chrysanthemum-scented martial arts world—this experience will be remembered for a long time～💐
