Recommended attractions in Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area

Hongshi Gorge

After driving for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the parking lot on the shore. I saw that the parking lot on the shore was really small and there were very few parking spaces. It is estimated that there may be dozens of vehicles opposite the Yuntaishan Geological Museum.

Take a car at the service area on the shore and arrive at the Hongshixia parking point in a few minutes. After getting off the bus, the drizzle turned into drops. We prepared in advance, armed with raincoats and umbrellas, and started our trip to Yuntai Mountain.

After entering the ticket gate, I stood on the bridge and looked down at the canyon below the mountain. The underground canyon is exactly where we are headed. Here, we officially entered the entrance of the canyon, and the rain became heavier and heavier. When going down the mountain on a rainy day, be sure to pay attention to safety. You must ensure the principle of walking without looking at the scenery and looking at the scenery without walking.

When visiting Hongshi Gorge, you will find that the entire scenic area is beautiful, quiet, majestic, and steep. With springs, waterfalls, streams, and pools in the valley, it is known as the Bonsai Canyon.

After passing the Immortal Bridge, there are many strange rocks, such as Turtle Back Stone, and rich natural landscapes. Just use your imagination and you'll find that naming some strange rocks is very similar. We were walking in the canyon. The winding path was very narrow. At the narrowest point, only one person could walk slowly. If you're not careful, you'll kiss the rocks and waterfalls in the canyon. It is really a silent painting, the water has sounds. The silence here is louder than the sound and it's beautiful.

As I walked up and down the plank road, my steps slowly stopped and my eyes began to get busy. There is a picture scroll between the mountains and rivers, and I keep walking. In front of me, there was a vertical cliff with large and small waterfalls tumbling down. The waterfall in the distance is really beautiful. I regret forgetting to bring my SLR. When we get here, we have basically finished visiting all the attractions in Hongshixia. We are still some distance away from the Zifang Lake ruins, and we will pass by Wisteria from here.

This is the ovary transfer station. There are two Quanpu Canyons four kilometers away and Dogwood Peak ten kilometers away. The downhill direction leads to the Baijiayan Visitor Service Center, which is also the starting point of the sightseeing bus.

Konas Peak

At the transfer station, our group was negotiating and, taking into account the elderly and children, we made voluntary arrangements. If you don’t want to climb mountains, you can go to Macaque Valley and Tanpu Gorge. However, there were only 6 of us in our group to climb mountains, so we chose to take a sightseeing bus to the main peak of Yuntai Mountain, Dogwood Peak.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the parking spot at Dogwood Peak. Both sides of the entrance to the scenic spot are full of snacks and fast food. Our lunch is settled here.

: Warm reminder

1. The road to Dogwood Peak is a winding mountain road, passing through Diecai Cave and more than a dozen tunnels, which are basically detours. Therefore, if you get motion sickness, bring your own motion sickness medicine.

2. In the Dogwood Peak Scenic Area, only one or two families can have a meal. It is recommended to climb the mountain after the meal to replenish physical strength.

3. Don’t worry about climbing. The Dogwood Peak ruins are more than 900 meters tall, and the highest peak is less than 1,300 meters. You only have to climb over 300 meters.

4. After entering the scenic spot, the glass plank road and the main peak are not on the same route, one on the left and one on the right. If you need to go to both, it will probably take more than half a day to plan your trip properly.

After entering the scenic spot, the statue in the middle is Wang Wei, which reminds me of his poems.

Note:

This poem was written by Wang Wei when he was seventeen years old. At that time, he left his hometown Zhoupu and went to Chang'an alone to seek an official position. On the Double Ninth Festival, he missed his relatives in Zhoupu and wrote poems to express his feelings. Yuntai Mountain is the southern branch of Taihang Mountain. If the poet Wang Wei wrote the poem in Yuntai Mountain, the title of the poem should be "Remembering the Brothers in the Taihang Mountains". How could he recall the brothers in Shandong? The reason is clear. Do

Looking back at Huixian Bridge, under the blue sky, green trees surround the red wall of the Taoist temple. The most intense color is the blue sky, so dazzling. It took nearly 50 minutes to reach the top of Cornucopia Peak at 12:05, which is also the highest altitude place in Yuntai Mountain. Finally, overlooking the surrounding peaks and buildings from a distance, the view is wide and you can have a panoramic view of distant and near peaks. You start down the mountain to Tanzhe Gorge.

Tempsha

It took us more than an hour to reach Tanpu Gorge from the top of Kaunus. It is already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

All sightseeing buses need to change buses at Zifang Lake Station to reach Tanpu Gorge.

Quanpu Gorge, Tanpu Gorge and Macaque Valley are the ticket gates. Entering the scenic spot, we were deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of us, which is called Xiaojiuzhaigou.

Friendly reminder

1. Three scenic spots have one ticket gate. Macaque Valley is on the north bank of the river, and Quanpu Gorge enters the ticket gate. Go straight 500 meters to the entrance of Quanpu Gorge, and Tanpu Gorge is on the right side of Quanpu Gorge, and the path leads there.

2. There are various delicacies and snacks in the scenic area, as well as a Dicos. The price is not much different from that in the city and is acceptable.

3. Macaque Valley requires climbing. There are not many macaques on the mountain. This attraction can be omitted. If you have enough time, you can go and have a look.

4. The Quanpu Gorge is three kilometers long, and there are battery cars in the scenic area. But the battery car will only cover half of the distance, and you need to walk the rest by yourself. It costs ten yuan for a battery car to go here and back. This attraction is the most spectacular during the Feng Shui period.

5. Tanpo Gorge is two kilometers long and has many small attractions. It is called "Xiaojiu Village". When you reach the end, you will retrace your steps.

Tanzhe Gorge is another landscape in Yuntai Mountain, second only to Hongshi Gorge, and is also one of the must-visit attractions in Yuntai Mountain. This is the Tanzhe Gorge Archway. From here you can officially enter and start sightseeing.

Almost everyone who has been to Tanpu Gorge or visited Yuntai Mountain will go to Hongshi Gorge, and more than half of them will go to Tanpu Gorge, which also proves that the beauty of Tanpu Gorge is better than that of Quanpu Gorge. Waterfall Gorge is even better. The photos speak for themselves.

When we walked into Tanzhe Gorge, it was the hottest time of the day. The hot sun and sometimes dry climate made us feel a bit tired. After all we had just summited Konas Peak, but as we walked into the canyon we felt instantly refreshed.

There are towering ancient trees on both sides, and the gentle breeze lifts the spirit. Walking between the valleys and upstream along the scenic trails, you can see the waterfalls and streams here. They are so soft and delicate that you can feel them with your heart, calming your mind and making the scenery more beautiful.

This is the end point of Tanpo Gorge and you need to return the same way. Opposite there is a cliff called Longfengbi, forming a U-shaped canyon. There are many collapsed rocks in front of and below the Dragon and Phoenix Wall, and there are falling rocks everywhere in the valley.

We stayed at Tanpu Gorge for nearly two hours. Instead of taking the same route, we took the emergency passage, which is a fast passage. Ten minutes later, we arrived at the entrance of Tanpu Gorge and looked at the landscape on the east side, which looked like the landscape of Guilin. What do you think?

The archway on the left is Quanpu Gorge, and the trail in the mountain is the trail of Quanpu Gorge. However, it is not recommended to go during low water periods. Whether the waterfall has water or not, it all depends on Shanxi.

Travel summary

For Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area, it is recommended to visit for one and a half days. The day was quite stressful. Although a few of us visited some of the best scenic spots in Yuntai Mountain, we were all physically and mentally exhausted, and even the elderly and children could not carry them. It consumes too much energy. Here, I would like to share my Yuntai Mountain itinerary with my traveling friends.

On the first day, if you spend half a day, you can go to explore Puxia first and then see Yuntai Mountain in the evening. Both places are on the same line.

The next day you can go to Hongshi Gorge, which takes about two hours, and then take a sightseeing bus to Dogwood Peak. When going down the mountain, you can go to Phoenix Ridge and play on the glass plank road. Personally, I think the glass plank road is of little significance.

The three scenic spots recommended here are el

Why do I think Quanpu Gorge is not among the highlights? Quanpu Gorge is a waterfall that flows straight down. Definitely the most spectacular place in the rainy season, the dry season means less to me. Shanxi still has the final say whether to talk about waterfalls or not.

Ticket price

Each scenic spot has a food and snack street. Recommended scenic spots are Quanpu Gorge ~ Tanpu Gorge ~ Macaque Valley. Personally, I think it can be said to be the largest food spot in the scenic area besides the shore service area. You need to apply for a card for consumption, and then you can refund it. There are also Dicos in the scenic area.

: Catering and Food

1. The largest area in the Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area is the shore service area, which can basically satisfy both accommodation and catering. Mainly because of the affordable price.

Advantages: Close to the shore station, convenient for taking sightseeing buses.

Disadvantages: Some hotels cannot park self-driving vehicles and there are too few parking spaces.

2. If you drive on the national highway, you can stay in Qixian Town, a few kilometers south of the Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. There are many hotels here, making it easy to park your own car.

From 010 to 1010, the confluence line of South Expressway and Jiguang Expressway is nearly dozens of kilometers away. Due to the widening of the expressway, the speed limit is 80 kilometers.

2 On the Hebao Expressway in Xinxiang, Henan, a police car made an emergency stop to record speeding. There were two cars in the area. The speed limit was 120 or 80. There is no road or mountain road, so be careful.

3 Self-driving vehicles should be parked in the Baijiayan parking lot as much as possible. Don't park on the shore. Parking is difficult to find unless you arrive at the shore parking lot before seven o'clock.
