The summit reaches an elevation of 2,721 meters, and this vast subalpine meadow covers approximately 6,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres). In spring and summer, the grasslands are covered in verdant grass and dotted with wildflowers, while in autumn and winter, rime and ice can be seen hanging from the ground, or blanketed in snow. The ruins of the Northern Qi Great Wall also traverse this area, creating a fascinating juxtaposition of history and nature.
During the holiday, we arrived at Luya Mountain in about 2.5 hours from Taiyuan.
Seasonal Activities: We visited a free attraction. The villages surrounding Luya Mountain are all alpine meadows, with beautiful scenery and herds of cattle and sheep. It was a very pleasant experience.
Route P: We recommend Damiao Village and Houmalun Village, which you'll pass by on the way to the Malen Grassland. It's a bit cold now, so wear a jacket.

The Taihang Grand Canyon truly lives up to its reputation as a model of northern landscapes, seamlessly blending grandeur and elegance. Upon entering the scenic area, one is immediately awestruck by the imposing presence of its thousand-meter-high cliffs. The Zhangshiyan landform unfolds like a natural screen, its sheer rock walls bearing witness to millions of years of geological changes.
The most stunning aspect is the diversity of scenery that changes with every step: Peach Blossom Valley features a babbling brook that meanders through the red cliffs, creating a verdant gallery; Wangxiangyan's steep steps climb the cliff face, offering both thrilling adventure and breathtaking panoramic views; the Taihang Sky Road winds like a dragon, with each turn revealing a new viewing platform. When shrouded in mist, the mountains appear and disappear, resembling a long ink painting.
Autumn is the recommended season to visit, when the canyon is ablaze with color. The scenic area boasts excellent facilities and a well-designed loop route, but some sections are quite steep, so be sure to bring appropriate hiking gear. Here, the power of nature and human ingenuity blend perfectly, and a day trip can allow you to appreciate the essence of Taihang Mountain, making it an excellent choice for a short mountain and water tour.
The Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area comprises three sections: Peach Blossom Valley, Wangxiangyan, and Taihang Sky Road. Peach Blossom Valley is particularly outstanding, with its stunning canyon scenery comprised of streams, waterfalls, and boardwalks. Taihang Sky Road offers a scenic drive via shuttle bus, but the views from the several viewing platforms are only average. Wangxiangyan has no shuttle bus service; the entire route is on foot, clockwise. The first and second halves are unremarkable, with only the middle section, Wangxiang Waterfall, truly worth seeing! The Sky Ladder is definitely worth climbing!

The scenery is nice and the bus is very convenient, good reviews! But the consumption level in the scenic area is a bit high, especially in some farmhouse restaurants, where two people can eat more than 100 yuan, while other places in the mountains only cost dozens of yuan.
The tour is very nice and I visited many temple which is very peaceful. The guide is also polite and helpful.

The temperature dropped sharply today, which made the trip less enjoyable. Jinci Temple boasts magnificent architecture, lifelike sculptures, exquisite murals, and the mysterious and clear Immortal Spring; it's definitely worth recommending.
The scenic area is quite large; the park in the front is beautiful, and the ancient buildings in the back are even more stunning! There are also many adorable cats 🐱, and you can even pet some of them freely, hahaha! Be sure to allow plenty of time for taking photos, there are so many beautiful sights!

If you're interested, you can buy a package ticket, and also a transportation package ticket, which includes pick-up and drop-off at each attraction, making it convenient and fast. Be sure to visit Hongji Bridge and the Prefectural Government Office, enjoy the local delicacies on the main street, and climb the ancient city wall from the south gate to the east gate.
It's very close to Shandong, and the electric cart drivers in Guangfu Ancient Town were very friendly. The fare of 30 yuan per person was very reasonable, and they stopped at all the scenic spots. It's 20 kilometers from Handan. I sampled Cizhou folk cuisine and passed by the Zhao Du Li Yan restaurant. 😃

I spent a whole day exploring Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. Because it was the off-season, there weren't too many people, and the overall travel experience was quite good. The scenic area is quite unique, with mountains and water complementing each other, especially the view from the entrance of Hongshixia Gorge, which is truly beautiful. Although it's a scenic area, the food prices inside were reasonable, and the staff I encountered were all very dedicated.

As expected of a 5A-level scenic area, the cable car, electric vehicles, service staff, scenic area construction, and attraction maintenance are all excellent! The shaped rocks, entertainment projects, and greenery are all well worth seeing; nature's brushstrokes are truly beautiful!
Last week, I hiked Baishi Mountain with friends. Both entrance parking lots were ample, and the 265 yuan fee included the entrance fee and a round-trip cable car ride. The scenic route is quite flexible, with round-trip tours available from the east and west gates, as well as one-way tours. The only downside is that you'll need to take a 30 yuan bus back to the parking lot after descending the mountain. Besides, the scenery is fantastic for relaxing in autumn! The fading colors of the forest are incredibly soothing, and the key is being able to immerse yourself in the scenery without the crowds. As a World Geopark, the carved marble peaks are truly breathtaking, and walking on the suspended plank road feels like walking on clouds. Excellent!

The scenery is picturesque, and the air is exceptionally fresh! A great weekend getaway for families, it's not far from downtown Taiyuan. From the GreenTree Inn near the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, drive south along Jinci Road for 40 minutes. It's incredibly convenient. Bring some snacks if you want to fully explore the area, but there's hot water, instant noodles, and a restaurant at the top. It's fantastic!
I took a taxi to Tianlongshan Grottoes in a hurry, but was stopped 3 kilometers away from the scenic area. I was told that the scenic area was closed due to freezing. I had to go to Longshan Grottoes instead. To my surprise, there was almost no one there. It was really the quietest place to check in during the Spring Festival.

The glass bridge is great, perfect for taking photos. It's a bit windy and swaying on top, and you can't stare directly at it from below, or your legs will shake. Overall, the scenic area is nice. It's the off-season, so there are fewer people, and the Mars spacesuit and martial arts costume photoshoots are temporarily suspended. The elevator inside is a rip-off; it costs 15 yuan for a short section, which is completely unnecessary, and you still have to climb back up.
Online ticket booking is convenient and offers a 5 yuan discount. However, for a tourist attraction, 90 yuan is still quite expensive, especially considering it only features one geological feature. I met a very kind person on my trip to Bolanggu. If you're planning to go to Bolanggu, you can call the long-distance bus station to inquire about shuttle buses. The customer service representative will give you the phone number of the person in charge. The fare from the county town to Bolanggu Scenic Area is 20 yuan. I contacted this person in charge a day in advance. The next day, the bus broke down and couldn't run. The driver didn't call me either, and I waited a long time without getting a ride. I then called this person in charge, explaining that I hadn't received a call from the driver. After understanding the situation, this person in charge decided to take me to the scenic area in their own car. They waited for me for 3 hours at the entrance and then took me back to the county town. I'm very grateful to this person in charge of the shuttle bus for making my trip to Bolanggu possible. If you're planning to go to Bolanggu, you can follow the Jingbian Travel mini-program.

Buying a ticket to Cliff World also grants access to the Grand Canyon, making the ticket well worth it. There are many attractions inside, allowing you to explore at your own pace. The scenery is beautiful, and the staff are incredibly welcoming, greeting you along the way. I visited in winter, and each season offers a different kind of beauty. Highly recommended!
As expected of the majestic Taihang Mountains, Baoquan boasts the most beautiful section of the mountain range. A little over an hour's drive from Zhengzhou along the highway allows visitors to escape the city's "concrete jungle" and plunge into the secluded paradise of Baoquan, enveloped by waterfalls, red cliffs, and a sea of clouds. Here, a 368-meter-high "L"-shaped cave elevator cleaves through the rock like a giant axe; the 716-square-meter Xiangyun viewing platform hangs atop a 300-meter cliff; the Luojia Temple cable car, capable of accommodating 200 people, weaves through the valleys like an "airbus"; and there are also Ferris wheels and cliff swings available for unlimited rides.
