It was a good time to visit during off-peak summer vacation. Generally speaking, each museum was not too crowded. You could basically wait for the person in front of you to take pictures. Because it rained, we only visited three museums and did not go to other places. The only drawback was that it rained all day. There was a food street a few kilometers away from the parking lot. There was water everywhere. When I returned to the parking lot, my knees were all wet. The drainage was too poor.

The grottoes and stone carvings are large in scale, majestic, and the craftsmanship is exquisite... Unfortunately, most of the Buddha statues have been damaged beyond recognition, even statues as small as fingers have been damaged. It's a pity!
The 17.4-meter-tall Buddha was truly impressive. After climbing up, I immediately exclaimed, "Wow!" The Buddha possessed a profound presence, and I felt as if he were looking down upon me with compassion. The Longmen Grottoes are definitely worth a visit, though it's a shame to see many of the statues without heads. The scenic area is a bit underdeveloped, and there's a lot of walking involved, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes.

Since I had a train to catch, I chose a short section of the city wall closer to the train station, from Anyuan Gate to Shangde Gate, a walk that took only a few minutes.
Due to off-peak travel times and poor weather, the city wall was sparsely populated, but it was still a pleasant experience.
Because I didn't pay attention when I came out, my phone battery was low. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use the phone to take the subway back, so I only walked half of the city wall and got off to take the subway back. It's a pity. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely walk the whole way.

The Huashan West-Up and North-Down route combines a cable car with a scenic hike, balancing experience and comfort. This route allows visitors to experience the mountain's sheer cliffs (e.g., the sheer cliffs of the West Peak and the sea of clouds at the South Peak) while avoiding the physical strain of traditional hiking. Whether you're on a one- or two-day trip, it's important to plan your transportation and time in advance, especially taking into account peak season cable car queues and mountain weather fluctuations (e.g., wind and warmth). For first-time visitors to Huashan, this route offers the best value for money.
After returning from Mount Huashan, there's nothing better to see! Its reputation as "the most treacherous mountain in the world" truly lives up to its reputation. The climb was daunting, especially as we crossed Canglong Ridge, where cliffs on either side made our legs tremble. But when you stand at the summit, watching the sea of clouds billow below and the magnificent mountain scenery unfold before your eyes, all the fatigue and fear vanish. The sense of conquering the sheer cliffs and the expansive view of "all the other mountains below" is truly an incomparable experience. It's a place that will test your will and purify your soul—a must-see!

Definitely worth visiting! But you’ll need to understand mandarin, otherwise you’re there just for the effects. The performance was mesmerising, I really enjoyed the show.
It's beautiful and worth seeing. The only problem is that the seats are too close together and you have to endure the heat. But the outdoor live performance is acceptable. The overall performance is great and impressive. You can't do anything without buying the Ctrip lounge. You can't even walk around. The snacks are also very different from the pictures. The sunflower seeds are soggy and not crispy. It's very simple. I feel that the money was not spent. I didn't go there earlier than others. I didn't feel that I got any special service. But again, the performance was great.

Although it was crowded during the May Day holiday, it was still worth a visit! You can queue up to go down to the Dragon Cave, and the scenery below is also unique. It is worth a visit, but be sure to go early! ! !
The Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is definitely worth seeing to experience the majestic power of the Mother River. Both the Shanxi and Shaanxi sides said they could feel the roar of the Yellow River more clearly on their side. So, I suggest building a bridge so we can visit both sides and compare the two.

The Ten-Mile Painting Screen is quite nice, and it's even better on a sunny day. It was raining at the foot of the mountain when we went, but it stopped as we were climbing. It was foggy as we passed the Ten-Mile Painting Screen, so the scenery was quite nice. By the time we reached the Golden Summit, the fog was so thick that we couldn't see clearly from a distance.
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful, but the only flaw is the rain ☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔

This is my second time here. The first time was with my husband. This time, I brought my parents along, and they had a blast. It rained for three days straight, so it was difficult to go anywhere without an umbrella. But overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.
It was my first time here, and I climbed up the bell tower, a landmark building in Xi'an, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. I was shocked. The vicissitudes and heaviness of history and the hustle and bustle of modern life complement each other here.

Taking the direct bus to Xiaoxitian this time was an amazing experience! We were delighted by the hanging sculptures at the Thousand Buddha Temple, leaving us with unforgettable memories. The travel agency that ran this direct bus was true to their word, ensuring the bus departed on time even for just the two of us. Their service was incredibly thorough and responsible. The beautiful customer service representative at the agency called and texted the previous night to confirm the pickup point and time this morning. Bus number 3599, our tour leader and driver, took excellent care of us two elderly people along the way, patiently waiting for us to descend the mountain. A huge thumbs-up to them 👍👍 and a big thank you 🙏🙏!
It is really worth a visit. It is breathtaking, amazing, and I am in awe of the superb skills of the ancients. It is not only amazing but also very touching. I admire Shanxi for protecting this ancient building so well.
