Things to Do  

Shaolin Travesty

Shaolin Travesty, Zhengzhou

 John195123 Says:  What once was legendary for it's martial arts development is, today, little more than a pathetic excuse for a tourist spot. Kung Fu's history dates back a heck of a long time, but little of that history is visible. It's not really funny that something the Chinese have been... 

Er Qi tower

Er Qi tower, Zhengzhou

 yangzhigong Says:  Er Qi tower was build to memorize the strike in 3rd Feb 1923. 

A big new pagoda

A big new pagoda, Zhengzhou

 bhemak Says:  The only thing of note in Zhengzhou is Erqi Ta or February 7th pagoda. It is a memorial for the workers who died during all of the big wars a while ago. It is important because it is something to photograph to say you were in this town and it isn't far from the main train /...

Restaurants

small restaurant: braise noodle with mutton, Zhengzhou

 yangzhigong Says:  Yang Rou Hui Mian - braise noodle with mutton is popular food in He Nan province, you can't miss it. 

?: Chinese Fried Chicken

?: Chinese Fried Chicken, Zhengzhou

 bhemak Says:  Several fried chicken places exist in Zhengzhou and I am sure elsewhere. The they are just little huts that sell only chicken. If you want a side, get it some where else. Go for wings, legs, or breasts. The pre-made sandwiches can be soggy and they use chinese sweet bread. 

Nightlife  

The Garden Lounge: western style bar/pub

The Garden Lounge: western style bar/pub, Zhengzhou

Space Bar: Or the other club

Space Bar: Or the other club, Zhengzhou

 bhemak Says:  When Top Ten closed 'temporarily' this place opened. It is jsut down the street and rather similar in quality. If this is closed maybe Top Ten has reopened, or something else has opened in the neighborhood. Minimal if any. 

Top Ten: Basically the only club in town

Top Ten: Basically the only club in town, Zhengzhou

 bhemak Says:  This is the only real club in ZZ. At the moment there are others, but with few attendees. This has the typical loud, heavy-on-the-beat, dim light\, smoke machine dance floor. Since dance music is often incomprehenciable, you really can't tell you are in China. None noted. 

Transportation

Xin Zheng airport, Zhengzhou

 yangzhigong Says:  Xin Zheng airport is about 30 km from the center of the city, an experssway to there

Massively crowded railway station

Massively crowded railway station, Zhengzhou

 mke1963 Says:  This is the most crowded railway station I have ever used. The crowds were spilling across the plaza in front - and this was at 8pm!Zhengzhou is at the epicentre of the Chinese railway system, so many people change here.There is a 4-star hotel with a tiny bar-cum-coffee shop... 

Zhengzhou Airport

Zhengzhou Airport, Zhengzhou

 mke1963 Says:  Some guidebooks and maps show the airport to be close to the city and to the northeast.It isn't. It is some distance to the southeast, along the new highway.Allow at least one hour from the centre of Zhengzhou to get to the new airport.The airport is, by the way, very modern...

Off The Beaten Path  

People's Park on Saturday

People's Park on Saturday, Zhengzhou

Shang Dynasty Walls

Shang Dynasty Walls, Zhengzhou

 bhemak Says:  This is something to do if you have a lot of time or you are really fasinated by ancient ruins. These walls really are over 3000 years old. And they really just look like a pile of dirt now. The dirt once was the walls of the city here, but now are mostly useful as a nice... 

Another 'People's Park'

Another 'People's Park', Zhengzhou

 bhemak Says:  China is filled with places called the People's Park. I doubt this is a highly unique one, but it does show case the cities trees.The park is a strange mix of Chinese garden and amusment center. You can switch from pastoral peace to over-developement in about ten steps. If...

ZhengZhou and Shaolin Temple

John195123 profile photo

 Zhengzhou... what a miserable place. That is, if you don't get past the train station. I'd be willing to bet that, away from the station it's not too bad a city... and it's not horrible by the...

Gateway to Shaolin

 Museum of Chinese history in Zhengzhou. A timelined history of Chinese dings more than anything else. Big dings, small dings, broken and preserved dings. It really is a nice museum though.
