Apr 19, 2024
Weekend in Zhengzhou with 0-Cost Scenic Spots~
Flower viewing, photo ops, blessings, and food all in one series
Guaranteed Instagram-worthy shots!!!
◾️Day 1 Morning
📍Location: Xiliu Lake Park (Enter from South Gate, Zhongyuan West Road)
Currently the largest free lotus viewing spot where you can get close to the ponds for super photogenic shots. Kids can also catch small fish and play in the water.
Afternoon
📍Location: Oil Painting Factory
Accessible by subway, this new Zhengzhou landmark is full of artistic vibes for photos and also gathers top-rated food spots.
Evening
📍Location: Nanguotou
I'd call this the BEST sunset viewing spot in Zhengzhou!! Open views make every casual shot look amazing—100% satisfaction from all visitors.
◾️Day 2
📍Location: Great Guanyin Temple
Start your morning with incense offerings, blessings, and vegetarian meals here. Volunteer opportunities available—a full day visit brings inner peace.
Bonus: Special blessing ceremonies from July 7-13!
Afternoon
📍Location: Guest House Hotel
Immerse in summer greenery with plane trees and metasequoia forests. The gardens are impeccably maintained as it hosts official receptions.
Evening
📍Location: Zhengzhou Botanical Garden
Around 6pm, witness a sunset-lit sunflower sea—golden hour + vibrant blooms = perfect photo backdrop.
Navigating each spot separately is tedious. Lazy hack: Import Ctrip links into the Compass app for one-click itinerary planning! It covers transport options/times, photo hotspots, and customizable routes based on preferences—saving time and effort.
