Wangwu Mountain, the first of the ten great Taoist caves, is also known as "Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven" and one of the nine famous mountains in ancient China. The scenery of Wangwu Mountain is majestic and quiet, and Taoist relics are scattered all over the mountain. There are many legends such as the Yellow Emperor ascending the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the sky. The main peak, Temple of Heaven, is more than 1,800 meters above sea level. Climbing to the top, you can see all the mountains. The General Fairy Palace is built on it, which is like a palace in heaven, with a fairy-like atmosphere.
You need to take a sightseeing bus to go up the mountain. Friends who are not physically fit are recommended to take the ropeway back and forth. This season is just right to play, it is not too hot, and the old street at the foot of the mountain is very lively at night. It's a pity that I didn't see any monkeys, hahahaha

The main gate is quite far from the entrance. The main gate should be the Songshan Scenic Area. With the arrival of the new abbot of Shaolin Temple Suizhou, most of the commercial things have been removed. It is quiet and nice.

If you drive there, the parking fee is 10 yuan. You can purchase a sightseeing bus to and from the ice cave for 5 yuan each way. You can also walk up. The lower part of the ice cave is a staircase, with a single route in and out. The ice cave has a variety of lighting. It's best to wear warm clothing; if you don't have any, there are rentals available in the parking lot.
The scenic area is currently undergoing a short road renovation. After checking your ticket, you'll board a tour bus to the foot of the Hanging Village. Looking up at the village, it seems quite high, but it's actually quite easy to climb. There's a stall selling roasted corn and sweet potatoes up there, which are delicious and fragrant. A cool breeze, gurgling water, and flowers strewn across the grounds are a delightful experience!

This is a famous historical and cultural town in China, the birthplace of both the Yang and Wu families of Tai Chi. Surrounded by a 100-meter-wide moat, it boasts a pleasant ecological environment and beautiful scenery, making it a must-see. Don't miss the cheap combined ticket. Hongji Bridge is a bit far from the Guangfu Ancient City, so you can take a shuttle bus to get there.
The historical sites are well-preserved, but you must ask for a guide, otherwise you'll just be wandering around. Taking a private electric car is more convenient, but the distance is a bit far. The entrance fees to several attractions are quite affordable, and you must visit the ancient city wall.

Very satisfied. It's not far from the end of the main street. After getting off the shuttle bus, it's only a few minutes' walk away. It's very clean, the bedding is not damp, and the bathroom doesn't smell at all. The cleaning lady cleans very carefully. There's a convenience store downstairs, and you can eat pollution-free apples. The proprietresses are two very beautiful older sisters. They are very nice. I was really satisfied and stayed there for two days. The scenery of Yuntaishan is very beautiful. The proprietress recommended that if you bring a baby, you must visit Red Stone Man and Quanpu Gorge. The recommendation was very accurate. We also played on the jungle slide in Macaque Valley, and the children were very happy.
Is it worth spending 20 yuan to save 20 minutes of walking up the mountain? Everyone has their own opinion. You missed a little scenery, but you can see another little scenery.

A hassle-free guide to visiting Bodhisattva Peak in Mount Wutai (Part 1)
Date 1️⃣6️⃣9/12: Mount Wutai, a 5A-rated scenic spot, is one of the world's five sacred Buddhist sites and the only Buddhist monastery in China where the Green Temple and the Yellow Temple complement each other. It boasts 86 extant temples, many of which were commissioned and visited by emperors of various dynasties.
Famous attractions include: P3 Bodhisattva Peak, with its 108 steps; P4 Lingfeng Shengjing Archway; P5 Imperial Stele of the Kangxi and Qianling Mausoleums; P6 Main Hall; P7-8 Xiantong Temple's Bronze Hall, cast in the 38th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1610 AD), using 100,000 jin of copper, is one of the best-preserved bronze halls in China; P9 Tayuan Temple's Great White Pagoda, currently under repair.
P10-11 Wuye Temple, also known as the Five Dragon Kings Hall and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion, was originally built in the 44th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1616 AD) and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty as the Yellow Temple. Legend has it that Wuye Temple, where all wishes are granted, is the most visited temple in Mount Wutai, attracting the largest number of visitors.
Tip: Enter through the north gate and exit through the south gate at Pusading to avoid climbing the 108 steps and save your legs as you descend. From the south gate, visit Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Wuye Temple, Shuxiang Temple, the central sightseeing bus stop, and return to your B&B.
🎫Tickets are ¥135 for those aged 19-59; those aged 60 and above are free. Tickets must be booked five days in advance at the Mount Wutai Tourist Service Center in GZH.
🚗Drivers must also make reservations five days in advance on GZH. Tickets are released at 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM daily, with a limit of 2,000 vehicles per day.
Mount Wutai is so big that you don't have to worry about the route when you join a tour group. Those who travel independently can take the free shuttle bus in the scenic area and play from stop to stop. When you are tired, you can get on the bus, and when you are not tired, you can walk around. It is quite suitable, but there are too many people. September is the off-season and there are not many people, but there are still crowds of people. The reception level in the scenic area is limited, and there are queues in the toilets. The queuing phenomenon in the scenic area is serious, so some people will go there again and again. Below Dailuoding, there is a slow slope when you come down. If people want to rest, there is a very small step on the side with an iron frame next to it to sit on. However, there is no sign on the step and the bricks on the ground are gray, which is particularly difficult to distinguish. I sat there for less than 20 minutes and three or four people sprained their ankles, but I forgot to take pictures. I hope the scenic area will consider being more humane when designing the rest platform.

A trip to Taiyuan wouldn't be complete without visiting the Jin Temple! With its robust Zhou Dynasty cypresses, limpid springs, and vibrant Song Dynasty sculptures, every brick and tile echoes history. The Jin Temple is truly worth it! The beautiful architecture, warm service, and fascinating folk performances combine ancient charm with warmth. Worthy of its title as a "Museum of Ancient Architecture," it boasts a rich heritage, tranquil scenery, and detailed explanations—a must-see destination in Taiyuan.
It is worth a visit. Walking from Jinci Park all the way to the museum, the scenery is unique. Walking into Jinci gives you a shocking feeling that is beyond words. The wisdom of the ancients with thousands of years of culture is unobstructed.

Baoquan Secret Land has beautiful scenery and pleasant views. It is worth the trip to the beautiful Henan. We also welcome friends from all over the country to visit here and experience the beautiful mountains and rivers of Zhuguo.
A 5A-rated scenic spot designated in December 2015, this two-day combined ticket for Grand Canyon and Cliff World offers the most densely populated waterfall complex in the Central Plains. Its unique topography, with pools every five steps and waterfalls every ten steps, creates a picturesque natural water system.

The Yunqiu Mountain Ice Caves are one of the world's three greatest ice cave wonders, formed during the Quaternary glacial period and boasting a history of over three million years. Entering the caves is like stepping into a crystal fairytale world, a truly breathtaking experience. The scenic area boasts a tranquil and quaint ancient village, and vibrant performances.
It is worthy of being a 5A-level scenic spot, it is very, very beautiful. Shenxianyu, Talpo Ancient Village, and the ice cave group are definitely worth visiting. I think it is the most fun place in Linfen, and the cost-effectiveness is also very high.

The location is very easy to find, the transportation is convenient, the service attitude is very good, it has its own parking lot, the parking location is convenient, the scenery is pleasant, it is definitely worth a visit!
It is worth visiting the Eight Springs Gorge, Black Dragon Pond, and Red Bean Gorge of the Taihang Grand Canyon! There are sacred places on land, sea, and air. You can climb mountains to see the scenery, take a boat to see the scenery, and take a car to see the scenery from the air. It is a 5A scenic spot, worthy of its name. Agree to publish rules
