Yan and Huang Emperors' Status, Henan, China
4.0 (40 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Zhengzhou Monuments & Statues
It is a MUST if you tarvel here.
The only sad thing about this place. In the winter everything is grey in Zhengzhou, and it was really cold. I think this scenic spot better in the summer, or autumn. But it is a personal problem. You can play around a whole day, maybe two here, there is so much to do if you like fresh air, monuments, sculpture, history. It is a great fun! Even in this weather. The price only 40 RMB (which really worth it), and it is a bit challenging to mount the mountain. Yan and Huang faces from the rock really great work of art (I think World of Warcraft stole this idea for the Wetlands Dam). Either you go up or just take pictures from the distant, everybody will be jelous for your luck to be here.

Impressive.
One of the reasons why I decided to go to Zhengzhou from Shandong province was to visit this venue. I was curious to see how huge these sculptures were and honestly I wasn't disappointed at all. I really enjoyed the time I spent there. Reaching this place was kind of a nightmare though. It is pretty far from the city center. When I say city center I mean Erqi square, which is the pulsating hearth of Zhengzhou. Getting to Yan and Huang Emperors' statues took me almost four hours (round trip). Needless of me to say the bus was overcrowded and I had no choice but to be standing all the time squeezed as a sardine among the other passengers. Only by taking a city bus (called 游16) it is possible to get to this place. There are many useless stops in between where nobody gets off the bus and only a very few people get on. In my opinion a long distance bus should be arranged so to save time and prevent travelers from a breakdown. Aside from this misadventure the place I have visited was great.

Impressive tourist site still under development
If you are in zhengzhou for tourism, there is not much to offer. This site however, about a half hour outside the city near the yellow river scenic area, has these enormous mountain carvings, plus some beautiful gardens/ caligraphy in stone scenic areas. If in zheng zhou, worth the trip.
