Small group, only two families of four. The tour guide was very good. She informed me of the precautions a day in advance and waited for us at the entrance of the scenic spot early that day. She was also very patient during the explanation. In short, it was good.
My tour guide was really nice. She provided great service and gave interesting explanations. Even though I was traveling alone, she was attentive throughout the entire trip, just like her own sister. She chatted with me and gave me explanations. The food was delicious, and the tea breaks were great. I didn't feel tired at all during the entire trip. When visiting a museum like this, you still need a guide. I could have fun peacefully, which was great!

It is highly recommended. It is one of the three major grottoes in China, along with the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the Yungang Grottoes. There are 2,345 caves and niches from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and more than 100,000 statues. It is a scenic spot with great artistic appreciation value.
The Longmen Grottoes left a deep impression on me. Each Buddha statue is so vividly carved that it feels like you're breathing history. Standing before the grottoes, I couldn't help but feel awe at the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. This place is not only a treasure trove of art but also a spiritual sanctuary. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys history and art; it's definitely worth a visit.

The city wall is very spectacular and there are many tourists. The scenery at night is very good. There are many delicious foods near Yongning Gate. It is also close to the Forest of Steles Museum and Shuyuan Gate. It is very convenient for sightseeing.
It is especially worth going. If you don't want to walk but want to ride the entire city wall, there are bicycles for rent in the city. People over 12 and under 65 can ride. A single bicycle costs 45 yuan and a double bicycle costs 90 yuan. It is recommended to rent a single bicycle. There are a total of 8 return points. If you return the bicycle before 21:50, the deposit will be automatically refunded. The scenery of the city wall at night is very beautiful.

The show was wonderful, and there was a rest area for early admission, and snacks were provided, but there were not enough seats because there were so many people, and it was still quite hot sitting outside. It would be better if there were more lounges indoors.
The performance of Song of Everlasting Regret is still worth watching. The stage effects are superb and the actors' makeup is also very rich. It is worth the trip! But the first few rows will experience the feeling of ice and fire, hahaha

I've finally completed my visit to Huashan, one of the Five Great Mountains. I strongly advise against the north-to-west route. I booked a west-to-north route, and even after taking every available cable car, I still felt exhausted. For my middle age, I'm in pretty good physical shape, especially as an amateur soccer player, so climbing isn't too tiring. But the challenge is, even in downtown Xi'an, fitness is essential, and even more so at Huashan. While climbing isn't tiring, my legs and knees are severely strained from the long hours. For the sheer joy of climbing, it's not worth it. On our way back up, many people heading north asked how far it was to the West Peak. I lied to them it would be a quick trip, but it actually took at least a few hours, fearing they'd be too frustrated and give up, missing out on the beauty of Huashan. There are some fixed pits on Huashan that you should avoid. First, there were the photos of the Huashan Sword Contest, which were everywhere, but the photos I took weren't particularly memorable. Everyone was posing in the same poses, with the same backgrounds, and nothing memorable. Second, the photos from the slides. I didn't want to take them for 30 yuan per photo after exiting, but I eventually bargained them down to 5 yuan per photo because the photos weren't very good. Of course, now I think it doesn't really matter whether I ride the slide or not; I thought it was long, but it's actually quite short. In general, if you really want to climb Huashan, you need to get up early, because around 9 a.m., during peak hours, the lines can take hours to get on the cable car. Next time you visit Huashan, I recommend bringing a tent and sleeping bag. Climb as much as you can during the day, stay overnight, and watch the sunrise the next day—that's the perfect way to spend your time there.
Huashan is quite strenuous to climb, but the scenery is beautiful and very challenging. If you need to circle all five peaks, you need to stay on the mountain for a day to watch the sunrise and sunset.

The waterfall is spectacular during the summer, with high water flow. Visiting times vary depending on your preferences. For just one section of the waterfall, seniors over 60 only need a 20-yuan scenic shuttle bus ticket. Adult tickets are a bit pricey at 100 yuan. The day before, I stayed at a nearby B&B. The family room was 300 yuan per night, and the ambiance was average, with blacked-out windows. The beef noodles at the restaurant were 28 yuan per night, not cheap either. The owner and staff were just so-so, perhaps because there were so many tourists during the summer.
The Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a truly magnificent wonder of nature! It's like a breathtaking symphony, resonating between heaven and earth. Look at that rushing water, isn't it a stirring melody?
Example: "Wow, the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is absolutely magnificent! The water seems to be flying, it's simply indescribable!"

Laojun Mountain, located in Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, is the main peak of the 800-li Funiu Mountain, a remnant of the Qinling Mountains. It is a renowned Taoist holy site in China and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, akin to a paradise on earth. Its natural scenery is magnificent, its geological wonders unique, its lush green mountains, vast seas of clouds, and towering peaks resembling an ink painting. The Jinding Taoist Temple complex, in particular, looms in the mist, resembling a celestial palace.
The scenic area boasts comprehensive amenities, with reasonably priced food stalls both at the foot of the mountain and on the mountaintop. Accommodation options are plentiful and affordable at the base. The well-planned itinerary, such as the classic route from the visitor center ticket gate via the first-level cable car, Zhongtianmen, Shili Huaping, and Nantianmen to the Jinding Taoist Temple complex, allows visitors to fully appreciate the scenic beauty. However, there are some precautions to take when visiting. The mountain is steep and the climate is changeable, so you need to prepare your physical fitness and equipment in advance. You must also abide by the scenic area's ecological protection regulations and Taoist cultural taboos, and appreciate the scenery with awe. In short, Laojun Mountain is a tourist destination worth visiting.
To play Laojun Mountain, you must be physically strong. You must walk Shili Gallery and the glass plank road. You must take the ropeway to and from the ropeway. At night, you must see the golden ceiling lights. It is called the golden sky and the world. Go to the world to be shocked and see the world's prosperity.

A must-visit place when visiting Kaifeng. The ticket is valid for three days of play. It is similar to Wansui Mountain. You can choose one of the two. Several big shows are must-sees. This park really has everything to play. There is a cute pet zoo, an amusement park, a haunted house, a parade, a music festival-like program, and various interactive games with NPCs. The Jiaozi you earn can be exchanged for various entertainment projects or items in the park. It is a very fun park. You can play in it for 3 days without repeating yourself.
First impression: Huge crowds!
The scenic area is quite good, with a three-day ticket for ¥80. It's quite large and has a great theme. The only downside is that the performance schedule and real-time location information provided by the scenic area aren't very clear. In 38-39 degree weather, I spent three hours running back and forth to find the shows before I could figure out their locations. The dome movie, which Xiaohongshu highly recommends, was really average. The line at one point was over 120 minutes. It wasn't that amazing. It was similar to the dome at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, but it's far inferior to what you'll find in Shanghai. Don't be fooled!

The Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower combo ticket is a steal! Enjoy two attractions for just 50 yuan and experience the ancient charm of this ancient city!
Getting the Bell and Drum Tower combo is a great deal! Save 20 yuan and get a 360-degree view of the magnificent ancient capital of 13 dynasties!
Highly recommended! Visit two landmarks with one ticket and immerse yourself in the splendor of the Tang Dynasty!
Standing tall in the heart of the ancient city, the Xi'an Bell Tower has quietly witnessed the vicissitudes of life for over 600 years. Climbing atop, the red railings and painted buildings, the glazed golden roof, and the soaring eaves on each corner seem to reach for the sky. Gazing from the railing, modern prosperity intersects with the ancient city walls, creating a glimpse of time and space folding here. Though the morning bells and evening drums have faded, its majestic aura as the city's origin and historical landmark remains. More than just a building, it is Xi'an's enduring spiritual landmark, gazing upon the ancient capital's past and future, allowing one to instantly feel the profound pulse of Chang'an. Wherever the bells echo, the feeling of Chang'an permeates.

Visited during the off-peak season before the Chinese 5/1 holidays so it was fairly empty. In fact, aside from a few scenic spots filled with photographers, the broader park was a bit of a sad ghost town.. perhaps it’s pricey for local standards, but makes for an enjoyable sunset stroll. There is a flagship night show that requires extra tickets/payments, but we only learned about it there.
The entire park is beautifully landscaped, offering stunning views both during the day and at night. Many beautiful women, all wearing stunning makeup, come to take photos, adding to the beauty of the Tang Paradise. Evening performances are available, so be sure to book tickets in advance during peak season. Watching a performance on Chuanshan Mountain is a truly unique experience.
