Old shops: those real century-old food brands hidden in the old city of Kaifeng (there are too many old shops, please reply if necessary).
Another brand-new: the first Henan cuisine shop in a century on Gulou Street, where celebrities such as Chiang Kai-shek, Mei Lanfang, Kang Youwei and Zhou Enlai have tasted Henan cuisine.
And die-hard donkey friends, because they know too much about Kaifeng's "vulgar things", usually find another way, such as a super Kaifeng feat here, for all die-hard donkey friends to refer to.
In Kaifeng, hardcore donkey friends usually:
Take the city wall, visit the church, cross the old street, take the temple gate early and have a night tour.
Take the wall:
Around the center of the old city of Kaifeng, it is surrounded by the walls of Ming and Qing Dynasties. 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. If you are lovers, something romantic will probably happen on the ancient city wall of Kaifeng, and the time will be recorded later.
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 you need to be accompanied by local friends.]
Visiting the church:
During the Ming, Qing and 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. Here are a few "rare things" for your reference:
In the old city, Kaifeng has the most beautiful and magnificent West Church in modern Henan Province-the Catholic Church in the Chamber Street of Kaifeng City. 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 such modern western religious buildings in the old city of Kaifeng, large and small, which are enough to make all the donkey friends scream (please reply to the specific addresses of these religious buildings in Kaifeng if necessary). )
Wear the old street:
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 for the donkey friends to dig. Due to the transformation of the old city, the old streets in Kaifeng are decreasing every month.
Early temple gate:
The mutton soup in Kaifeng is definitely a must in Zhongzhou. Among them, the favorite mutton soup of Kaifeng locals belongs to Simen (Dongda Temple, the largest mosque in Kaifeng), which is the best 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.
Wandering around at night:
Objectively speaking, the most fashionable phrase of many Zhengzhou people and even some young people in Kaifeng is "Don't go to the Drum Tower to eat snacks, go to Xisi (the night market by 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.
Of course, some Kaifeng locals also clamored that "Drum Tower is simply cheating outsiders", which seems to be somewhat impure. I once had a classmate who wanted to go to major websites every night to "publicize" the "bad" drum tower just because his parents were selling mutton kebabs in Xisi.
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.
Finally, I wish you all a pleasant stay in Kaifeng during the National Day.
Note: All the scenic spots recommended to the ashes donkey friends above are free to enter, and will never increase the GDP income of Kaifeng Municipal Government by a penny. Who told us that donkey friends with ashes have high martial arts skills, hehe!
List of century-old brands in Kaifeng (part):
Kaifeng's "Lu Gao Jian" Sauced Meat Store was established in the first year of Qing Dynasty (1862), and it has been engaged in famous sauced meat, spiced elbow flower, southern sausage and spiced plate belly for a hundred years. [The store is located in Kaifeng Bookstore Street in the center of the old city]
Ma Yuxing, an old shop in Kaifeng, was founded in Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty for three years (1864), and has been engaged in barrel chicken and roast chicken with the most Kaifeng characteristics for a hundred years.

Momoka House, an old Kaifeng store, was founded in the eighth year of Guangxu reign (1882), and has been dealing in pot stickers and shredded chicken wonton with the most Kaifeng flavor for a hundred years. [This store is located on the west side of Songduyu Street in the north of the old city]

These century-old Kaifeng shops only appeared in Kaifeng after the 26th year of Guangxu reign (A.D. 1900). They deal in authentic Henan cuisine, such as the first floor, Huangjia Steamed Bun Shop, Zhongxing Building and Beijing Pavilion. Compared with the old shops above, they can only be regarded as junior.
Hehe, so powerful that even the Jewish well is known. My friend went with some American friends. American Jews like to see Kaifeng's wells very much.
Friends traveled all over Kaifeng city wall? Have you ever been to the cathedral? Awesome! The ashes are already great! ! !
