The night market! I ate there for almost every meal. I loved the sugarcane juice. Fresh sugarcane juice (which I love in Singapore) is so hard to find in China! I liked that particular old uncle who sold it so much, I bought at least 1 cup everytime I went to the market. Bet you anything he was disappointed when I finally left! I wanted to try "tong3 zi ji1" (some kind of chicken) but I couldn't, since I was alone and even though I can be a big eater, I certainly can't finish one whole chicken at once. -gag at the thought- There's a stall selling the same dumplings as the restaurant on Sihou Jie but 12 dumplings for 6 RMB instead of 10 dumplings for the same price in the restaurant. I couldn't really tell any big difference in taste or otherwise. There're also quite a few stalls of "chao3 liang2 fen3" (stir-fried white rice vermicelli), "rou4 he2" (pocket of meat) and various kebabs of lamb, lamb's heart, lamb's kidney (yummy, really) and various kinds of seafood. Oh, and remember to try the "xing4 ren2 tang1" (almond "soup") that's actually strong almond milk diluted with water and with some nuts/raisins on top of it.

This is something like a Chinese Renaissance festival. There are some replica buildings and more interestingly shows at different times during the day. Some were traditional events like a prospective bride on a balcony dropping flowers to a groom below. Others were arcrobatics, magic, puppets, and traditional music. There were also overpriced souvenirs and food. Both seemed to be of decent quality.

Or Tie Ta. This one of the top sites to the Chinese and I can see why. Sure it is an old and unique Pagoda in a park, but it is also a bizarre experience to walk up. The hike up is not for clostrophobic types.
The 'Iron' name comes fom the glazed tiles which looks like rusting iron. From a distance I though 'so what.' Up close I saw each tile had a picture on it. I'm amazed by things that look good up close and from a distance.

Kaifeng was an ancient capital similar to near by Luoyang. Although Kaifeng certainly hasn't been tainted by moderninity the way Luoyang has, it wasn't as impressive. It has one rather famous landmark...

Good Old Kaifeng, An Ancient Capital
Actually, it's made of bricks. Who cares! If pagodas are your passion then you have to stop in Kaifeng while in Henan province and climb this baby. It's always an extra fee to climb pagodas in China...
