How to get to Yuntai Mountain?

I am from Beijing and just came back from playing there. The two posts I posted below are very good, comprehensive and detailed. I won’t go on too much, but I’ll just add that you must bring enough film. If it is a digital camera, the card and battery should be ready. The card must be at least 512 MB (of course it is better to have a camera companion), and of course two batteries are required. I have a digital camera. I played with it for two days and took more than 300 photos. The scenery there is indeed beautiful, and the mountains and rivers in Beijing are incomparable. We stayed at the Shang'an Village Family Hotel, which cost 90 yuan for a triple room (acceptable). There were food stalls on the street (slightly more expensive). There are three scenic spots you must visit: Tanpu Gorge, Quanpu Gorge, and Hongshi Gorge. The rest depends on time and physical strength. You can take a tour bus up to Zhuyu Peak and take a photo at the door. In addition, the order of visiting the three must-see attractions is very particular. It is best to visit them in the order I recommend. Namely: Tanpu Gorge - Quanpu Gorge - Hongshi Gorge. In this way, you will become more interested as you travel, and there will always be a cave in front of you, and each scene will be more beautiful than the next. Not much to say, just read the post below.

(Supplement: I heard that there has been a flood there recently. It is best to call and ask before going to see if it is affected)

(1) Introduction to Yuntai Mountain

Yuntai Mountain is a world geological park and a national key scenic tourist area in my country. It is located in Xiuwu County, Henan Province, at the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains, covering an area of ??approximately 50 square kilometers. Because the mountain is precipitous, steep, and has a wide range of heights, and is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, it is called Yuntai Mountain.

Yuntai Mountain is famous for its mountains. The entire tourist area has 36 peaks and ridges and more than 20 natural caves. The main peak, Zhuyu Peak, is 1,304 meters above sea level. Standing on the top of the peak, you can often see the blue sky above your head, thousands of miles of floating clouds below your feet, and the mountains floating on the clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland. If it clears up after a rain, you can see the water of the Yellow River hundreds of miles away, and overlook the cliffs and canyons in the mountains. Water - Yuntai Mountain's most distinctive landscape features countless springs, pools and waterfalls. It is famous for "three steps to a spring, five steps to a waterfall, and ten steps to a pool". The most famous one is "Yuntai Waterfall", with a drop of 310 meters. It is known as the first in China and the second in Asia. The waterfall is like the breach of the Tianhe River. It surges rapidly and unstoppably at high altitudes, and falls to the ground covered with mist and rain. It can be called a wonder in the world.

Yuntai Mountain has a long history of tourism and rich cultural landscapes. According to research, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, emperors and their royal families came here to enjoy the scenery and escape the summer heat; during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many celebrities came here to take refuge and live in seclusion; during the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was favored by Buddhism and many temples and pagodas were built there. Especially after the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yuntai Mountain became one of the main places for literati to travel around and talk about poetry and Taoism. Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once left here an eternal masterpiece: "I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives more than ever during the festive season. I know my brothers from afar have climbed to the heights, and there is only one less person left when planting dogwood trees everywhere." At present, the relics and other cultural landscapes that are preserved or being restored include the tomb of Liu Xie, the Yellow Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty - the Mausoleum of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the hermitage of the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove" - ??Baijia Rock, where Zen Master Chou built a temple, and the place where Sun Simiao refined medicine - Yaowang Cave, Yuan Zhenguan, where Wang Wei composed his poems, Wanshan Temple, Shadow Temple, etc.

The Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area began operations and development in the early 1980s and received tourists. On January 10, 1994, it was listed as a national key scenic spot by the State Council. Named a "World Geopark" by UNESCO on February 13, 2004, Yuntai Mountain receives constant visitors all year round, with a maximum daily reception of 39,000 tourists. After nearly two decades of development and restoration, the tourist area now has Laotangou, Xiaozhaigou, Zhuyu Peak, Baijiayan, Nongxiu Valley, Han Xiandi Mausoleum, Wanshan Temple, Shadow Temple, Qinglong Cave, and Zifang Lake. , Wenpanyu and other ten scenic spots with their own characteristics.
