Baoquan Tourist Area is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot located in Huixian City, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, China. With canyon ecology, waterfalls and cliff experiences as its core features, it covers a total area of 110 square kilometers and is known as the "Taihang Water Kingdom" and "Central Plains Waterfall Group".
Very good. Henan's tourism industry chain is really doing very well now. It's a good place to take children. The children have a lot of fun playing in the water. The environment is also very good. In summer, except for being a little hot, it is definitely a good place to play. Moreover, the bus can return to the service center at any time in the evening. It's really good and much better than too many attractions.

On the last day in Mount Wutai, our tour guide Xiao Zhao took us to visit the temples in the central scenic area and told us many interesting stories, which brought our trip to Shanxi to a perfect end.
If you have faith, go to Mount Wutai. If you like taking photos, go to Mount Wutai. If you hike, you must climb to the Big Snail Peak. Climb the 1,008 steps to see all the other mountains. The mountain is in the clouds, the temple is in the mountain, and you are in the temple.

The scenic area is large in scale, with water as its soul and mountains as its scenery. The mountains and waters are intertwined, and the beautiful scenery is endless. The tour itinerary is well arranged, relaxing, and the check-in points are outstanding. It is worth visiting again!
❗️❗️ Special Reminders
1️⃣ We strongly recommend arriving a day early and staying overnight in a B&B near the Baquanxia parking lot. Enter the scenic area at 7:00 AM the next day. You can go rafting in Qinglong Gorge the afternoon before.
2️⃣ If you can't enter the scenic area before 8:00 AM, don't come!
We strongly advise against coming in the afternoon; it's very hot and crowded, and you'll definitely run into trouble if you don't heed the advice.
3️⃣ Arrive early. Route A is recommended (buy a ticket on a certain route). The scenery is all in the first half of Route A, allowing you to take beautiful photos while you're most energetic. The canyon is very cool in the morning, and if you walk quickly, you can get out before noon.
[Detailed Itinerary]
🚣🏼August 6th (Wednesday)
Chartered car from Changzhi East Station directly to Qinglongxia River Rafting.
Opening hours: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM. The water is cool and quite exciting.
It's recommended to arrive early to avoid crowds. We checked in at 1:30 PM and had to queue for the shuttle bus to the river. We finished our swim and shower at 3:20 PM.
Reminders:
1️⃣ Purchase your ticket online an hour in advance to get it checked in; otherwise, you'll have to buy it on-site.
2️⃣ You'll get soaked, so you don't need a raincoat. You can buy slippers, water guns, and buckets on-site. Luggage storage is available.
3️⃣ Make sure you bring a change of clothes! Swimsuits are welcome. There's a simple shower, so bring shampoo and shower gel.
4️⃣ You can get a ride from the parking lot to Baquan Gorge for 30 RMB.
⛰️August 7 (Thursday) Baquan Gorge
7:35 AM - Walk from the B&B to Parking Lot 2. Take the free scenic area shuttle for 2 minutes to the scenic area gate. There are a lot of people checking in, so you'll have to wait in line.
Pitfall 1️⃣: If you're not driving, you still need to enter the parking lot to take the bus! Don't wait outside on the roadside.
Pitfall 2️⃣: Be sure to buy your ticket online in advance! Enter by scanning your ID card. Tickets purchased on-site are often crowded and require a line.
7:50 AM - Sightseeing bus ride (waited in line for half an hour, the longest of the day. There were 15 people per bus, so it was a bit slow).
Pitfall 3: Line B is in the left column, Line A is in the right column. Don't stand in the wrong row.
8:20 AM - The sightseeing bus takes 3 minutes to the tunnel entrance. A 5-minute walk through the tunnel leads to the cruise ship terminal. It wasn't crowded, so boarding was quick.
8:40 AM - Cruise departs. Upon disembarking, you'll find the Eight Springs Heart checkpoint.
Then walk through the canyon. It's not too hot or too sunny. We spent a long time taking photos, taking 3 hours. The walk to the cable car normally takes 1-2 hours.
11:50 AM - Arrived at the cable car station. Lines lined up for the cable car 🚠, which went over several hills. After getting off, there were places to eat.
We didn't climb up to the Jade Emperor Pavilion, but you can go to the back of the pavilion to see the scenery (p4).
There were no other attractions after that, so we had to transfer to other small public transportation.
Took the Sky Bus. Scan the QR code to buy a ticket for 20 yuan, which is recommended. The walk down the mountain takes 40 minutes. There's no shade along that stretch, so it's very sunny. There were 30 people per trip, so we waited a short while before getting on. However, the line B was very long at that time, so there was no shade and it was very sunny.
Then took the elevator. It was less crowded, so we waited for the first one and got on.
1:20 PM - After exiting the elevator, we arrived at the sightseeing bus stop. We exited the scenic area and took the scenic bus to Parking Lot 1. We arrived at Parking Lot 2 at 1:45 PM and returned to our B&B.

The Taihang Grand Canyon is divided into three parts: Taohua Valley, Taihang Sky Road, and Wangxiang Rock. The first two are together, and the latter is a few kilometers away, but both belong to the area of Shibanyan Town. The scenery along the way in Taohua Valley is nice, with waterfalls and streams basically every few steps. The mountains and rivers are beautiful. Except for the first section, you need to climb down the mountain. The road behind is very flat. Then take the free scenic shuttle bus to take the Taihang Sky Road. The three stops are very photogenic, especially the Dream Valley Viewing Square at the top. You can take the scenic shuttle bus all the way to the exit when you go down the mountain. The next day, we started climbing Wangxiang Rock. It is a purely leg-based attraction, especially the stairs in the front section, which has more than 2,000 steps and is very steep. After walking the cliff plank road, it becomes flat and much easier. The scenery along the way is pretty good. After passing through the forest, we arrived at Yangtian Pond. Due to the lack of water, the waterfall has a small flow. Continuing to climb the famous spiral staircase is another test of physical strength. If you like climbing, you may wish to give it a try. Since it is the off-season just after the start of school and before National Day, the experience at this time is still very good.
It had just rained the day we entered the Taihang Grand Canyon from the Red Flag Canal. The mountains along the way were shrouded in mist, while the lake's clear, tranquil blue-green waters were breathtakingly beautiful. The Grand Canyon is divided into three scenic areas, with a 100 yuan admission fee (including shuttle bus). We first visited the Peach Blossom Valley area, where the clear waters reflected the mountain scenery. From the exit of Peach Blossom Valley, we headed to the Sky Road area, a steep and picturesque path, with the mountains on either side of the canyon forming a massive barrier. In the afternoon, we visited the Wangxiangyan Scenic Area. The path was steep, and as we ascended, we gazed down at the mountains, which stretched out before our very eyes.

Longtan Grand Canyon is amazing! I took my kids there. We first took a sightseeing bus to the waterfall, then took photos and played in the water along the way. It wasn't tiring at all. The scenic area is well decorated and they understand tourists. It's very photogenic.
The canyon is very beautiful and it is not too tiring to walk down. If you want to play in the water, you need to prepare sandals in advance, but the water is very muddy and it is not recommended to go down. There are rafting projects, the air is good, the supporting facilities are slightly poor, there are no good dining spots, a bowl of instant noodles is 6 yuan, and hot water is 2 yuan, which is a bit of a pit.

Tongtianxia Scenic Area is worth a visit. Straddling the border of Shanxi and Henan provinces, it's known as "North China's Most Beautiful Mountain Gorge" and "Little Jiuzhaigou of the North." Here's a detailed introduction:
- Highlights:
- Magnificent landscapes: high mountains, flat lakes, cascading waterfalls, gurgling streams, and deep pools resembling jade. Tongtian Lake's waters are cool and pure, a dreamlike spectacle under sunlight. The Triple Falls cascade down three tiers of cliffs with a breathtaking momentum. Shiping Mountain, with its distinctive peaks and screens seen from the sides, is truly breathtaking.
- Rich biological diversity: Hundreds of macaques live in the scenic area's Macaque Village. They love playing in the water, are adept at climbing and leaping, and can even imitate human movements. Furthermore, the scenic area boasts lush vegetation, home to a variety of valuable Chinese medicinal herbs, such as Codonopsis pilosula and Scutellaria baicalensis, creating a natural oxygen bar. - The scenery changes with each season: in spring and summer, lush green grass and chirping birds fly; in late autumn, crimson leaves blanket the mountains, creating a vibrant scene; in winter, snow-capped mountains, shrouded in a blanket of white, are crowned with beautiful icicles, resembling a "glacial world."
- Duration: The scenic area's well-designed trails and wooden plank roads provide a loop, and a full tour typically takes 4-5 hours. If time is tight, visiting selected key attractions will still take 2-3 hours.
- Activities: Enjoy the scenic views by hiking through the Grand Canyon; take a boat tour of the Thousand-Foot Gorge, feeling like you're swimming in a painting; ride Asia's highest-angle incline cable car, a cable car that traverses the dynamic canyon; or stroll along the colorful glass plank road, feeling like you're soaring through the clouds, before ascending to the summit of Immortal Peak for breathtaking views.
- Notes: July and August are the best times to visit, as the scenery is beautiful but crowds are high. Some sections of the scenic area are slippery and steep, so wear non-slip shoes. The temperature difference in the mountains is large, so you should bring a thin jacket and sun protection clothing. At the same time, pay attention to protecting the environment and take the garbage down the mountain.
Overall, it was a very good experience. There are land, water and cable cars. You can walk in the valley and go to the top of the mountain to see the majestic Taihang Mountains. I have a more intuitive and emotional understanding of the majestic Taihang Mountains. The only thing I am not satisfied with is that there are not many toilets in the scenic area and they are relatively dirty.

It's very fun. In Kaifeng's niche scenic area, the overall antique color scheme reflects the beauty of Chinese garden design. There are also rockery waterfalls to watch, which is very beautiful for taking pictures. At night, you can enjoy the night view of the light show.
Kaifeng's Hanyuan Stele Forest is a treasure trove of calligraphy art. Its over 4,000 steles span ancient and modern times, showcasing a dazzling array of seal, clerical, regular, running, and cursive scripts. They feature classics by Yan, Liu, Ou, and Zhao, alongside masterpieces by contemporary masters. The garden's pavilions and towers complement each other beautifully, surrounded by serene waters. A stroll through the garden offers a glimpse into the millennia-old tradition of calligraphy and the beauty of a classical garden. Whether you're a calligraphy enthusiast or seeking a tranquil cultural retreat, this is a worthwhile stop for a romantic encounter with the fragrance of ancient ink.

Mianshan is unique in its blend of natural and cultural landscapes, serving as a spiritual haven where diverse cultures converge. In Mianshan, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are no longer abstract concepts, but become tangible through concrete figures, stories, and landscapes.
Mianshan has a long tradition of religious tolerance, with Buddhist and Taoist temples coexisting side by side, and monks and Taoists living in harmony. This coexistence of religions is rare among famous mountains throughout China, and reflects the inclusiveness and diversity of Chinese culture.
In history, there was even a trend toward the "Three Religions in One," where Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism borrowed from and integrated their teachings and practices, forming the unique religious culture of Mianshan.
The scenery is stunning, the authentic architecture is breathtaking, and the culture is rich, making it a worthwhile visit. However, it's too demanding on your legs, so you can only explore selectively and not explore the entire area. It's too tiring to walk or climb, making it a true paradise for hikers.
Daluo Palace: A crowning achievement of Chinese Taoist architecture, built atop the Lion Rock cliffs, it's truly breathtaking! The structure boasts 13 layers, reminiscent of the Potala Palace, earning it the nickname "Little Potala Palace."
Yunfeng Temple: The main attraction is the Buddhist temple nestled beneath the cliff's grottoes, as well as Tiesuo Ridge and a zigzagging suspended staircase and plank road built on the sheer cliff face, a truly breathtaking experience. This area is also a landmark of Mianshan and perfect for breathtaking aerial photography.
Zhengguo Temple: Home to over a dozen living Bodhisattvas, unseen elsewhere, experts have called it a "world wonder." Lingying Pagoda is accessible for ascent, and aerial photography is truly breathtaking! Jiegong Ridge: Jie Zitui's retreat, cremation site, and place of worship. The Jie Temple on the mountain is located in a giant cave and is the largest cave temple in my country.
