In Kaifeng, the ashes of donkey friends are usually: walk the city wall, visit the church, walk the old street early, the temple gate, and stroll at night.
1. Walking on the wall: Around the center of the old city of Kaifeng, surrounded by the Ming and Qing walls. The taste of walking on the ancient city wall of Kaifeng in Ming and Qing Dynasties without large-scale artificial tourism development is far from the "fake city wall" of Xi 'an, which is too modern. Walk around the city wall (crossing some cliffs and obstacles on the way): 7 hours-10 hours. Tip: Kaifeng Ancient City Wall, a national key cultural relic protection unit, is the second largest city wall in China, with a total length of14km, second only to Nanjing City Wall and longer than Xi 'an City Wall. It is hidden in the boudoir, and has not been officially commercialized, so it can crawl for free without a ticket (but we should pay attention to protecting the national treasure, remember). The terrain above the city wall is slightly complicated, or it needs to be accompanied by local friends.
2. Visit the church: During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, there were many modern western religious buildings in Kaifeng. Some buildings still hold religious ceremonies, while others are used for other purposes. A few "rarities" are simply mentioned: In the old city, Kaifeng has the most beautiful and magnificent West Church in modern Henan Province-the Catholic Church in Yitangjie, Kaifeng. This church was built by the Italians in the late Qing Dynasty. The inside and outside of the church hall are magnificent and solemn. The church of Torredale Roggio also stands in the old city of Kaifeng, echoing the Kaifeng Tower in the south of the city. In the east of Kaifeng, there is a Catholic Henan convent, which was built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is one of the main shooting locations of the film Peacock, which won the International Silver Bear Award. Although it has declined now, it still maintains its former charm. Several ancient buildings in the courtyard of Kaifeng Hotel originally belonged to the American Catholic Henan Monastery in the early Republic of China, although today those buildings have directly become the most distinctive rooms in this three-star hotel. There are many modern western religious buildings, large and small, in the old city of Kaifeng. Which street is the Confucius Temple in Qing Dynasty in the old city of Kaifeng? Do you know which street Kaifeng Wuliang Temple is on? Do you know where Shuanglong Lane in Kaifeng where the two emperors lived? How about Baijia (Henan Buddhist Association) in Kaifeng? Kaifeng Zhu Bao Temple? Do you know where the traditional Jewish community Hutong in Kaifeng is? There are many antiques and stories in the old streets and alleys of Kaifeng, waiting to be excavated. The old streets in Kaifeng are decreasing every month because of the transformation of the old city.
4. Four doors: The mutton soup in Kaifeng is definitely a must in Zhongzhou. Among them, the favorite mutton soup of Kaifeng locals belongs to the four-flavored mutton soup of Simen (Dongda Temple, the largest mosque in Kaifeng) and the unique mutton soup in Kaifeng. At the same time, because the area north of Simen is Kaifeng Old Street, we can see the absolute value from street to street. 、
Evening shopping: Objectively speaking, the most fashionable sentence of many Zhengzhou people and even some Kaifeng young people is "Don't go to the Drum Tower to eat snacks, go to Xisi (the night market next to Baogong Lake)". In fact, this understanding of Kaifeng night market is quite different from the actual situation. Drum Tower, in fact, has always been the central night market of Kaifeng people, but in recent years, the price of foreigners has increased, and some Kaifeng people can't afford it. This is why many locals moved to Xisi Night Market in Baogong Lake. To tell the truth, Xisi actually only lives in ordinary casseroles, snacks and snacks, not many, but generally moves, although the weight is sufficient and the price is reasonable. Diners who really know Kaifeng will not be fixed in a night market, but will try their mood. If you like to eat by the lake, go to Xisi, and if you like to eat in the old street, go to Gulou. Like many Kaifeng locals, you must go to the White House in Gulou Square to eat spicy mutton trotters. Braised fish is of course the Chen family in Gulou, and you can also eat fried sweet potato paste. As for Kaifeng almond tea, Kaifeng fried bean jelly and Kaifeng Yangkang tablets, it doesn't matter. Xisi can, Heda front door can, Kaifeng is all over the street. In fact, there are more and better snacks in Kaifeng, which are usually not available in any night market. They will be eaten by cats in a small street in Kaifeng. For example, the best sesame seed cake in Kaifeng may be in Xufu Street, and the best mutton soup in Kaifeng may be near the west gate. The best Huimian Noodles in Kaifeng may be in the south of the city. If you really know old Kaifeng, people who will "wander around" will be exposed. They know where to find the really valuable Kaifeng embroidery products, instead of imitations of Suzhou embroidery and Hunan embroidery, and they can also find Kaifeng specialties. These specialties are generally found in some small streets and alleys, such as the best spiced peanuts, peanut cakes, hemp chips, peanut dipping sauce, mung bean cakes and Kaifeng Hui nationality cakes.
A Study on Western Religious and Cultural Groups and Their Architectural Remains in Kaifeng;

2. Catholic Cathedral in Kaifeng Chamber Street: This Gothic building and Iberian-style Italian cathedral built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is located in Kaifeng Chamber Street. Known as the most beautiful western religious building in modern Henan.
3. Kaifeng Catholic Cathedral: Yangweipu, located in the east of Kaifeng, is the main shooting place of Gu Changwei's film Peacock. A Catholic training school in Henan, China, was established by Milan Foreign Missionaries Association on 1929, with the task of training Catholic clergy. This quadrangle is a combination of Chinese and western, modeled after Beijing Fu Jen Catholic University. The exterior is classical in China, and the interior is decorated in western style. 1932 was completed.
