The guide

Plan the day

Shows run on a timetable. Pick three long-form performances and let the short walk-through rooms fill the gaps; the evening show is the one to keep energy for.

Language

Major shows carry English subtitles. Smaller rooms are visual and need none. Ask at the desk for the English schedule.

Practical notes

  • Tickets are timed; the full experience needs five to six hours
  • It is 50 minutes by car from central Zhengzhou
  • 10:00–21:30
