Wangxiangyan is a tourist attraction that requires a lot of effort. The entire way up the mountain is stairs, 7km round trip, and the tour takes 2.5 hours. The way up the mountain is very steep, but the overall scenic area feels good. There are many supply stations along the way, and the forest bath corridor is really comfortable to walk. Great oxygen bar!
Taohua Valley Scenic Area, the scenery is really good, more relaxed, and quite cool. The whole journey is not too tiring. It takes about 70 minutes to walk along the cliff to the exit.
Taihang Tianlu is a winding mountain road with a sightseeing bus, which is just average.
The ticket price for the Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area is 140 yuan per person (including 60 yuan for transportation). There has been a lot of rainy weather recently. The two major canyons of Linzhou in Henan and Huguan in Shanxi have their own characteristics: Linzhou is known for its steep landscape and complete facilities, while Huguan wins with its beautiful scenery and cool climate.

Yinxu is the site of the capital of the late Shang Dynasty in China. It is famous for its oracle bone inscriptions and bronze ware and is an important fulcrum of Chinese civilization. The new museum uses naked-eye 3D and other technologies to make the cultural relics "alive". Walking through it, you can feel the splendor of the bronze civilization and touch the thousand-year-old warmth of the oracle bone inscriptions. It is a must-visit place for history lovers.

1. The cultural landscape is full of historical sense: The Red Flag Canal is an important project during the period of China's revolutionary struggle, and tourists highly praised its historical significance. They saw the dam field, canal and other relics of the Red Flag Canal, and learned about the arduous process of the Red Flag Canal's construction under the joint efforts of the peasant fighters at that time.
2. The natural landscape is breathtaking: The Red Flag Canal is located on the Loess Plateau, with magnificent mountains and rivers and beautiful natural scenery. Tourists praised the undulating mountains and lush water and grass of the Red Flag Canal, which left a deep impression on tourists.
It is not only a five-star scenic spot where you can gaze at the magnificence of the Taihang Mountains, but also a cultural landscape where humans conquer nature. It is worth a visit. The spirit of the Red Flag Canal is the spiritual wealth of the Chinese people!

The Chinese Character Museum, a national first-class museum, is located at No. 656, East Section of Renmin Avenue, Anyang City, Henan Province. It is a national-level thematic museum approved by the State Council that integrates cultural relics protection, display and scientific research functions. It is also the first museum in China with characters as its theme.
The museum is a group of postmodern buildings with modern architectural style and the charm of the Shang Dynasty court. It consists of buildings such as the Character Square, the Square, the Main Hall, the Cangjie Hall, the Science and Technology Hall, the Research Center, and the Exchange Center. It covers a total area of 143 acres and a total construction area of 34,500 square meters. A total of 4,123 cultural relics have been collected, including 305 first-class cultural relics, involving oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, bamboo slips and silk books, the history of the development of Chinese characters, the history of Chinese calligraphy, minority characters, world characters and other aspects. On November 29, 2007, the first phase of the Chinese Character Museum started construction and was officially opened on November 26, 2009.
The Chinese Character Museum is amazing! As soon as you enter, you are "surrounded" by oracle bone inscriptions. You can touch the replica tortoise shells and animal bones with your own hands, as if you are talking to the ancients. The interactive screen can also design your own oracle bone signature, which is super cool. The exhibition hall is designed like a time tunnel, from oracle bone inscriptions to modern Chinese characters, the cultural DNA is deeply moved, and Chinese character fans must go!

Li Jinmei's explanations were lively and interesting, with very detailed content. For the various questions raised by the children, Teacher Li was able to answer them in a timely manner if she knew the answers, thus satisfying the children's curiosity. For things that Teacher Li didn't know, she would go home and look up the information and communicate with us in a timely manner in the form of information. She is a very meticulous teacher, and the children gained a lot.
The scenic spot is only separated from Hebei by a river and is a newly opened scenic spot in recent years. However, whether it is the resting place of Prime Minister Cao or just one of the 72 suspected tombs remains to be verified. Can the stone pillow and stone tablet engraved with the things often used by King Wu of Wei prove that this is the real Gaoling of Cao Cao?

It is about 22 kilometers away from Anyang city, in Tangyin County. The environment is pretty good. The most interesting and challenging part of the place is the Bagua formation. If you are interested, you can come and try it to see if you will get lost in it.
This attraction is worth visiting. The scenic area is relatively large and the environment is beautiful. Buying tickets from Ctrip is ¥1 off. The price-performance ratio is really high. There are not many people during non-holidays, which is very suitable for travel.

Anyang Tianning Temple is really nice! The Wenfeng Tower is so unique, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom like an upside-down vase, which is very rare. The tower is beautifully carved, and the sound of the wind chimes calms my heart. The temple is full of towering ancient trees, incense, and a great atmosphere. There are also many snacks around. After visiting the temple, come and have a bowl of flat noodles, which is great! You must check in here when you come to Anyang!
The left side of Tianning Temple in Anyang is the Pagoda District, and the right side is the Buddha Temple District. The main temple is the Shanmen Temple, the Temple of Heavenly Kings and the Temple of Daxiong. The Temple of Heavenly Kings is the ticket office, and the two generals are offered on both sides. The Temple of Heavenly Kings is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha, behind which is the Wei Bodhisattva. The Temple of Heavenly Kings is dedicated to the Third Buddha.

The giant screen wall, memorial archway, stone statues and tombs are all worth seeing, especially the inscription written by President Xu Shichang. Yuan Gong's brilliant life is worth reading carefully. Over the past century, too many false accusations have been imposed on him. His predecessor, Li Zhongtang, who was also a pillar of the country, commented on the young Yuan Gong who had made great achievements in Korea: "He was loyal, talented, and smart, and he was able to maintain the overall situation and do it alone." This is a true portrayal of Yuan Gong's life.
Anyang Yuanlin is so worth seeing! The combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles is very special. The large archway and stele pavilions are like traveling back to ancient times, and the European-style small buildings are like entering a European castle. Yuan Shikai's tombstone is tall and majestic, surrounded by lush pines and cypresses. You can also see old objects from the Republic of China, and the sense of history is overwhelming. Take photos and you will see them. Don't miss this place when you come to Anyang!
