Which one is more worth visiting, Yaowang Valley or Jiuhuang Mountain?

I went to Jiuhuang Mountain twice and Yaowang Valley once. Let me tell you my feelings after going there, for reference only!

Let’s talk about Yaowang Valley first. The family went there when the magnolia flowers were in bloom. The car could drive up there. It was raining a little when we went there, and there was a stage set up for performances. Generally speaking, there seems to be nothing to see except the magnolia flowers. When I went there two years ago, there seemed to be no entertainment facilities. Maybe it was because of the rain that we didn’t go there much, so I don’t know the details. Speaking of which, we went to see the flowers during the flowering season. It's still okay, there probably won't be many people after the flowering period.

Let’s talk about Jiuhuang Mountain. Jiuhuang Mountain also has magnolia flowers and Huaxi scenery. I went there during the flowering season. It is divided into three parts. The scenery at the farthest scenic spot is really beautiful, but you have to walk for a while. The weather was perfect when we went there, and there was no rain or anything, so we visited basically every attraction.

We went to the Ape King Cave on the mountain opposite this summer. The mountain opposite is divided into front mountain and back mountain. The weather up there was really strange. When we were in the Ape King Cave on the front mountain, the temperature was still just right. It was so cool when we arrived at the back mountain, but the temperature was different from the temperature in the Ape King Cave. It felt amazing and I stayed there for one night.

Introduction to the experience of knocking on the blackboard:

1. It is rainy season in summer, so it is necessary to remember to bring a raincoat or umbrella. The sea of ??clouds after the rain is like a visual feast, with clouds and mist Soaring and majestic, it gives people a feeling of lingering.

2. You also need to prepare a set of clothes for changing clothes. Unless you are very clean, it doesn’t matter if you prepare a few sets. There are hotels, camping, and B&Bs on the mountain, so you don’t have to worry about not having a place to sleep, eat, and bathe.

3. As for shoes, try to wear comfortable flat shoes. In fact, ordinary sports shoes or even cloth shoes will do. As long as you are not wearing leather shoes or high heels to climb mountains, it doesn’t matter. It’s just that the comfort levels are different. Although It is a mountainous road but the road is still easy to walk.

4. Generally speaking, it is not necessary to bring medicine, food and drinking water. If you really need to bring them, you will get tired easily when climbing mountains, so just bring some sugar.

However, you need to bring a kettle for drinking water. If you find it troublesome to bring a kettle, there are also mineral water sellers in the scenic area, and the price is relatively affordable.

5. Be sure to bring a jacket when going to the back mountain. Although the back mountain is cold, don’t forget to sun protection, sun protection, and sun protection. Let’s talk about the important things of sun protection three times! ! !

6. In the monkey park at the back of the mountain, if you want to feed the monkeys, don’t worry that it will be attacked by monkeys like in a certain mountain. The monkeys there are still very cute. Remember to feed the monkey king first. !

7. Before going, you can call and ask if there is a Salang party that night. The Salang party at night is still very lively.

8. If you plan to camp in the back mountain at night, remember to bring toilet water and power bank. There are toilets and shower rooms in the back mountain, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to take a shower.

9. Since the journey to Jiuhuang Mountain is usually a mountain road in addition to the ropeway, it consumes a lot of physical energy. Many people will bring their own dry food. If you don’t bring your own dry food, there are many aunties halfway up the mountain. Everyone knows that the special snacks sold in the scenic area are relatively higher than those outside. However, the food here is not as expensive as everyone thinks. More poor tourists still choose to bring their own dry food. There are also many young people who like to hike up and down mountains to seek challenges. If you are also this kind of person, it is recommended that you prepare some dry food yourself and have sufficient physical strength to better complete the challenge. You must also do what you can. Everyone should remember one sentence, go up the mountain. Easy to go down the mountain.

Tour cost:

If you book a package on the official account one day in advance, you must book it in advance otherwise you cannot use it on the day. I chose a cost-effective package, which mainly includes The main transportation in the scenic area costs about 200 RMB per person. Whether the cost-effectiveness of the tour is high depends on whether you have chosen the right package that suits you.

Note: I think one day in Yaowang Valley is enough. You may not be able to finish all the attractions in Jiuhuang Mountain in one day. You can choose to stay one night, but it also depends on personal choice.
