Taihao Mausoleum in Zhoukou, Henan｜Human Emperor.

[RoundNails] Taihao Mausoleum is located in Huaiyang District, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot. It was built in the Spring and Autumn Period. Emperors of all dynasties have offered sacrifices here 52 times. It is a rare large-scale palace-style ancient building complex that integrates mausoleums and temples. A mausoleum, a lake and an ancient city complement each other, forming the 11-square-kilometer Xihuang Ancient Capital Scenic Area.

Every year from the second day of the second month to the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, there is a Taihao Mausoleum Temple Fair, and millions of people from all over the world flock here to trace their roots and pay homage to their ancestors, making it a grand event. There is also a pruning park in the mausoleum area that features pine and cypress sculpture art. There are more than 200 kinds of pine and cypress sculptures in the park, which is praised as a "wonder of the world" by tourists and garden experts at home and abroad.

Longhu Lake has beautiful scenery, with flowers in spring, lotus in summer, cattails in autumn and snow in winter. It is suitable for travel in all four seasons. Many national key protected bird species stop and overwinter here. Especially from July to September every year, tens of thousands of tourists come here to enjoy the lotus.

🚔Self-driving parking guide

Currently, the 17 parking lots listed are all free, and the official has not received any notification on when this will end. If you come to burn incense during the temple fair, remember to come early, otherwise you will be stuck in traffic for a long time on the way to the scenic area; occasionally there will be random charges, so you need to pay attention.
