One thing worth knowing about is that the museum area is also the area of the 2 branches of government - federal and communist - so the area is much nicer. We are talking trees and some flowers along with a more neighborhood feel that might remind you of Shanghai. Do not expect wild nightclubs, but it is a more pleasant place to be if you are looking for a walk. Erqilou is fine, but a bit dirty, so see this other side of Zhengzhou if you get a chance. Also, some nice places to eat are in this area.
商城遗址, 商都遗址公园 Shang Capital Ruins Park
You can see remnants of the wall in the east side of town. Be warned: these mounds are not terribly impressive.

二七纪念塔
Museum inside a rather garish double pagoda that looms over February 7 Square. Inside there are exhibits explaining the city's development.
如意湖; Ruyi Hu
The centrepiece of the Zhengzhou New Area, surrounded by an impressive ring of modern apartments, malls and office towers, including the Henan Arts Centre, and crowned by a JW Marriott designed like a Chinese lantern. The area is lit up in a charmingly tacky fashion at night.
Fu Tower, 中原福塔
This 388-metre high tower is the 10th tallest tower in the world and has great views of the city. On the third and fourth floors of the observation deck, you can see the largest panoramic painting in the world.
