It’s hot in Zhengzhou. I’m going to spend a week in cool places in Henan Province by car. Can you recommend some good places?

Zhengzhou has been experiencing high temperatures recently, so going out to escape the heat is a good choice. Due to their high altitude and large vegetation coverage, mountainous areas have much lower temperatures than cities. One week of self-driving in the province is plenty of time. Because there are many scenic spots in Luoyang and there are mountainous areas, Luoyang is recommended first.

1. Luoyang Old Town, passing through Lijing Gate, is the Luoyang Old Town. Walking on the streets with blue bricks and black tiles, there are many Luoyang local delicacies, such as water mats, non-turning soup, mutton soup, sweet potato noodles, osmanthus yuanxiao, etc., which are all delicacies that you can’t get enough of. It is recommended to come after dark because it is hotter in the city during the day.

2. Chongdugou is located in Luanchuan County, Luoyang City. This is also the most recommended scenic spot by me. The scenery is pleasant and the trees are shady. Because it is in the mountainous area, the temperature is suitable. There are performances in the scenic square at night, and there are various food on the pedestrian street. This place is known as the "No. 1 Farmhouse Hotel Village in China", so you don't have to worry about accommodation here. The room is very clean, the price is not high, and you can also eat directly in the store.

3. Laojun Mountain, located in Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, is the highest peak of the Funiu Mountains. As the saying goes, "it's not cold at high places", and the summer here is very cool. Legend has it that this is the place where Taoist Li Er practiced, and the "Taiqing Temple" was built on the top of the mountain. Looking down from the top of the mountain to see the clouds and mist, it is very fairy-like.

4. Baiyun Mountain is located in Song County, Luoyang City. It is recommended to bring a light jacket here as it is a bit cold in the morning. What I like most is the virgin forest on the mountain, where little squirrels may appear at any time. If you are lucky, you can see the sea of ??clouds at the top of the mountain. It's just that the accommodation here is a bit expensive, so you can find a hotel farther away from the scenic spot.

5. Longtan Gorge is located in Xin'an County, Luoyang City. When you first enter the scenic spot, there are many Internet celebrity bridges where you can take photos and videos. The water in the scenic area is very clear. If you come with children, you can buy a water gun. I came here to play when I was in school. When my classmates came, they hid the pure water in the pool, weighed it down with stones, and drank it ice cold when they came back. It can be seen that it is also very cool here.

These places are all in Luoyang. They are relatively close to each other. They are suitable for summer travel and are relatively cool. It takes almost a week to visit them. Also wish you have fun.

In the hot summer, the sun is blazing, the earth is like a steamer, and the temperature is around 40 degrees. The eggs on the manhole cover will ripen in a short time. The flesh and blood body standing on the side of the road is suddenly sweating, and the skin is instantly white. The red inside goes directly to black without any transition. If you are in a good mood, it will be called a free sauna.

In the summer in Henan, when you go outside the air-conditioned room to the mountainous areas with deep forest landforms, the temperature is still several degrees lower than in the cement mortar. Even if the sun reaches your buttocks, there will be no burns on your skin. I feel that the air is much fresher. I have to cover myself with a thin quilt at night, eat a bite of frozen watermelon from a deep well, and go down to the river to touch fish and shrimp to cool down all summer long.

Recommended self-driving tour, at the foot of the Dabie Mountains, in the land of southern Henan, with mountains and rivers and red cities, a healthy new county with a vegetation coverage rate of more than 97%, known as a natural oxygen bar, the cradle of generals, and the hometown of the Red Army. , red and ancient green intersect with each other, there are quaint folk houses in southern Henan, ancient villages with century-old charm and thousand-year-old tree branches.

There are actually many fun and cool places in Henan. I would like to share with you the ones I have been to. Shibanyan is a rather unique town. Now with the increased development of tourism across the country, it has also given rise to The slate houses and slate roads add a lot of color here. Not only can you feel cool physically when you come here, but the surrounding scenery can also directly impact your vision. There are also Grand Canyon Rafting and Gaojiatai Sketching Base nearby. , Zhumengshi Scenic Area, Wang Xiangyan, etc... We recommend farmhouses for accommodation. It is best to find one with a terrace, prepare a few side dishes and drink wine to the night sky, haha, feel it for yourself... There are many farmhouses, and there is no harm without comparison. Don’t bother looking for more, you know!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I feel that there is much less motivation to travel. It’s like two minutes of going out and two hours of sweating! Although the weather in Henan is very hot, there are still some scenic spots that are extremely cool. They can be said to be the most worth visiting places nowadays!
