The Huangcheng Xiangfu has a performance called "Weeping Time". The mansion is quite large and impressive, with exquisite architecture and well-organized rooms. However, the ticket center is located far from the attraction, which is to cater to the business of the tourist attractions!
I recommend going in as soon as it opens at 8:00 AM – there will be fewer tourists then. You can finish exploring in a little over an hour and then return to the entrance to secure a good spot. Tour groups will gradually gather here before the 10:00 AM performance starts, and they will then converge into the Huangcheng Xiangfu after the performance ends in about ten minutes!

This is truly a conscientious scenic spot! Not only are the electric shuttle buses free to ride (just wave them down!), but they also offer over ten kinds of free food and drinks. Besides snacks, they provide one free breakfast and one free lunch – all you can eat! The breakfast selection is plentiful.
Before the iron flower performance, there's free hot ginger tea, and after the performance, there's free Sichuan soup. Although it's free, the quality is excellent.
The price/performance ratio was excellent, averaging 198 yuan per person for two days, including three meals a day and snacks. It was quite good, and the other drinks and food were also reasonably priced.
We had Lao Zhou's flower bun, cake, soft rice, knife-cut noodles, Sichuan soup, coffee, and a photo with Secretary Zhou. We watched the iron flower show, which was quite impressive. We saw the Grand Circus, which was excellent value. We watched Gunsmoke of the Taihang Mountains, a delightful anti-Japanese drama, but it was just average. We got the wrong time when buying tickets for Lao Shanxi, so we watched for ten minutes...

Located at the most precipitous point of the fault zone between the Loess Plateau and the Central Plains, Wangmangling Scenic Area is a typical example of Zhangshiyan landform and a quintessential representation of the 800-li Taihang Mountains landscape.
The Wangmangling Scenic Area comprises four scenic systems: Wangmangling, Xiyagou, Kunshan, and Liuxiucheng. Its highest elevation exceeds 1700 meters, while its lowest point drops to only about 300 meters within Huixian City, Henan Province, making it the highest peak in the southern Taihang Mountains. The Wangmangling Scenic Area boasts stunning natural landscapes, including seas of clouds, sunrises, unique peaks, pine forests, cliffside roads, red rock canyons, and multi-tiered waterfalls, forming the most famous natural scenery in the 800-li Taihang Mountains. It is renowned as a "cool and serene paradise," a "summer retreat," a "Shangri-La," and the "Supreme of Taihang."
I waited for the rain to stop and decided to go up the mountain to see it. I really spent the ticket money to see a white wall and I couldn't see anything! I didn't see anything! I really regret it, I should insist that the weather is bad and I would rather pass the door than enter! ! !

It is a place worth visiting, which brings great surprises. The scale is grand and magnificent. Standing on the city wall and looking at the picturesque scenery in the distance, you can not only sigh at the great wisdom of the ancients. It is a place worth visiting at night.
Xiangyu Castle, built for masonry and earth structure, was built by the Ming Dynasty Household Department Shangshu Sun Juxiang and Sun Dingxiang brothers, completed in Ming Chongxu seven years, is a typical representative of China's Ming Dynasty fortifications. The Xiangqi Ancient Fort was built on the hillside. The ancient castle city was built with a maze of "bead-like" and "corridor-style" Tibetan soldiers caves, which were extremely beautiful. Especially the Xiangqi Ancient Fort Labyrinth-style Tibetan soldiers caves and underground passages, which were easy to guard and difficult to attack. Li Zicheng was unable to overcome for seven days and seven nights. Its strength was amazing! The large number of Tibetan caves seems to be silently telling the past bonfire years, full of a heavy sense of history. There is also a unique architectural form like a honeycomb, which is very visual and impressive.

The service in the scenic area is very good. Most of the staff are very nice. The facilities are very complete. There is also a 1 yuan transportation to the city.

If you go to Iron Buddha Temple in the off-season, it is recommended to experience the virtual video introduction first, so that you can better understand the exquisiteness of the 24 statues of the gods. Otherwise, at most you will just be there to join in the fun!
Jincheng's only temple hidden within a residential area offers free admission and parking. It's named after the iron Buddha that once resided there. Although designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit in the eighth batch, its historical and artistic value is no less than that of previous national protection units. The colorful sculptures within are incredibly lifelike, including the image of Sun Wukong.
