01What to see
Xinyang: the four places that matter
Ordered the way you should actually visit them, not by fame.
Jigong Mountain
A 800-metre ridge of forest and 1920s villas, with a cable car and quiet walking roads.
Nanwan Lake
A reservoir with 61 islands; boat trips and fish restaurants on the shore.
Maojian tea gardens
Terraces around Donghe and Wulidian; picking season is late March to April.
Xinyang tea museum
Small but well done, explains why the leaf is picked by hand.
02Two-day plan
How we would plan your two days
Built around opening times and traffic, not around a list of attractions.
Day 1 · Mountain and lake
Drive up Jigong Mountain in the morning, walk the villa district, descend for lake fish at lunch, boat in the afternoon.
Day 2 · Tea villages
A morning in the terraces with a tea farmer, tasting and buying at source, then back to the city.
Local notes
- Tea bought in the terraces is a third of city prices; taste before you buy.
- The mountain road has 300-plus bends — take motion sickness medicine if you are prone.
- Spring tea season is busy; book guesthouses two weeks ahead.
03Where to stay
Pick the area first, the hotel second
The wrong district costs you an hour a day in traffic.
Jigong Mountain
Old villas converted to guesthouses; cool nights even in August.
City centre
Business hotels near the station, better food options.
04What to eat
Two things you should not leave without trying
Nanwan fishWhole fish from the lake, steamed or in sour soup, ¥60–90.
Xinyang MaojianBrewed in a glass, ¥30–80 a pot depending on grade.
05What goes wrong
Three things that catch first-time visitors
- Tea bought in the terraces is a third of city prices; taste before you buy.
- The mountain road has 300-plus bends — take motion sickness medicine if you are prone.
- Spring tea season is busy; book guesthouses two weeks ahead.
06Questions
Xinyang: questions travellers actually ask
When is tea season?
Late March to late April for the first pick; the gardens are green and busy then.
Is Jigong Mountain worth it?
Yes for the villas and the cool air; the scenery is gentler than Henan’s northern mountains.
How far from the city?
Jigong Mountain is 40 km south, about an hour by car.
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.
