Places to Visit

Pingdingshan mountain

This is a high mountain with a distinctive flat top. Several routes ascend the mountain through forest scenery. Alternatively, a cable car runs to the summit.

Xiangshan Buddhist Temple

might be the best around. Interestingly enough, it's the site of the first thousand-hand buddha sculpture, or Sakyamuni, to be created in China. The site itself is over a thousand years old, despite the structures being rebuilt periodically. There is a pagoda tower, a monastery and some nice flowers about.

Eagle City Square

is a fairly new city square and will be one of the largest in the province. It features a large, musical fountain with a giant megatron presiding overhead. Also, some classical Chinese waterway structures, a greek-style outdoor theater and a few hills and ponds. In the evenings you can listen to the locals perform folk songs or maybe some Henan opera.
