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 Shaolin Temple boasts comprehensive and excellent facilities, a grand and ancient atmosphere, towering ancient trees, and solemn Buddha statues. My only regret was that the kung fu performance was somewhat underwhelming; it consisted mainly of a few children performing, lacking in real skill.
We watched a martial arts performance first, and the interactive segment was quite interesting. The ginkgo trees were a beautiful golden yellow in autumn. There's a Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) stone carving outside the hall behind the Lixue Pavilion. The vegetarian restaurant at Huanxidi is indeed a bit pricey; a single set meal is 36 yuan, including two side dishes, a soup, and rice. Our group of six ordered five set meals, and after finishing them, the taste was acceptable. We bought some ointment from the Shaolin Pharmacy; I don't know how effective it is yet. The cable car ride from the top to the bottom of Haohanpo (Hero's Slope) is moderate, taking about two and a half hours. The shuttle bus from Haohanpo closes at 6 pm, and it's quite far to the Sanhuangzhai parking lot, so I recommend taking the park shuttle. A taxi from the Sanhuangzhai parking lot to the Shaolin Temple parking lot costs 22 yuan, and there are unlicensed taxis outside asking for 20 yuan per person; I suggest taking Didi (a ride-hailing app).

The scenic area is very clean, the toilets have toilet paper, the service staff are very enthusiastic, there are not too many tourists, the scenery is very good, people with poor legs and feet can also go, there are buses, cable cars, slides, and not many steps to climb
The weather wasn't kind. After traveling over a thousand kilometers, I encountered a rainy day. The dense fog limited the view, which was quite a disappointment, but it also had a unique charm. The thick fog made the mountain scenery even more ethereal and mysterious. With so few tourists, it felt like exploring a fairyland. Besides the autumnal mountain scenery, the ancient architecture was also a highlight. The caisson murals on the eaves of the Yangtai Palace are unique in Henan Province. Even the Nantianmen and Ying'en Palace are worth seeing as ancient architectural masterpieces. Although it was the National Day holiday, there were no waiting times for the sightseeing buses and cable cars, and the other painless mountain climbing facilities were also sparsely populated. The experience was excellent.

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.

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. 😃
This ancient city is worth a visit. It is the hometown of Tai Chi and has a history of more than 2,000 years. These attractions are all worth seeing. The combined ticket is very cost-effective and highly recommended!

The Jinci Scenic Area is divided into Jinci Park and Jinci Museum. The Jinci Museum charges an entrance fee. Its ancient architectural complex is laid out symmetrically along a central axis. The central area, from west to east, includes the Holy Mother Hall, Fish Pond Flying Bridge, Offering Hall, and the Duiyue Archway; the northern area includes the Tang Shuyu Ancestral Hall and the Tang Stele Pavilion; and the southern area includes the Water Mother Tower and Shengying Tower. All are highly recommended. Guided tours are available at the scenic area service center, and group tours are possible. The tours are detailed and the service is enthusiastic.
Highly recommended are Jinci Park and Jinci Museum, including the Holy Mother Hall, Fish Pond Flying Bridge, Offering Hall, Duiyue Archway, Tang Shuyu Temple, Tang Stele Pavilion, Water Mother Tower, and Shengying Tower. The autumn scenery of the ginkgo trees is particularly picturesque.

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.

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.

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.
