01What to see
Zhoukou: the four places that matter
Ordered the way you should actually visit them, not by fame.
Taihao Fuxi Mausoleum
A vast temple complex over the legendary tomb, with 3,000-year-old cypresses.
Dragon Lake (Longhu)
A lake covering half the old town; boat rides and waterside walks.
Huaiyang old street
Ming-Qing shopfronts and the local clay dog figurines (nigou).
Xianrentai
A small pavilion said to be where Fuxi observed the stars.
02Two-day plan
How we would plan your two days
Built around opening times and traffic, not around a list of attractions.
Day 1 · Mausoleum and lake
Mausoleum at opening, walk the cypress avenue, lunch on lake fish, boat in the afternoon, old street at dusk.
Local notes
- The mausoleum is busiest during the lunar February festival; avoid it if you want quiet.
- This is a half-day site — pair it with Kaifeng or Shangqiu on the same loop.
- English is rare here; a guide is genuinely useful.
03Where to stay
Pick the area first, the hotel second
The wrong district costs you an hour a day in traffic.
Huaiyang old town
Guesthouses by the lake; quiet and central.
Zhoukou city
Standard hotels, an hour away.
04What to eat
Two things you should not leave without trying
Huaiyang fishLake fish in clear soup, ¥50–80.
Huaiyang bunsSteamed with pork and mushroom, ¥3–5 each.
05What goes wrong

- The mausoleum is busiest during the lunar February festival; avoid it if you want quiet.

06Questions
Zhoukou: questions travellers actually ask
Is Zhoukou worth a detour?
For Chinese history and pilgrimage, yes. For scenery alone, no.
How long do I need?
Half a day in Huaiyang covers the mausoleum and the lake.
When is the festival?
Late February to early March on the lunar calendar; the town fills completely.
The full guide runs to four pages — in Chinese
Tickets, opening hours, hour-by-hour itineraries and eighteen local questions. Machine translation handles these pages well; send us a screenshot if anything is unclear.
