You have to return to Xiaozhaigou to go to the next scenic spot in Macaque Valley, Tanpu Gorge, and Quanpu Gorge. The water volume of Yuntaitian Waterfall is very small and the downstream is almost dry. The scenery of Hongshi Gorge is nice. You will be asked to change the bus halfway through the ride.
Yuntaishan Hongshi Gorge is really great, but because my old ankle injury recurred, I took the elevator up the mountain and then walked to Zifanghu when I reached the 5th elevator.
In the afternoon, I went to Xiaozhaigou again. Fortunately, I took the elevator in the morning. It took about 2 hours to walk and climb in Tanpu Gorge, but the scenery was good. But some of my companions wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, so we went home and did not go to Quanpu Gorge and Macaque Valley.
For Zhuyu Peak and Fenghuangling Scenic Area, we took the scenic transfer cable car to Zhuyu Peak, and then walked down from Zhuyu Peak to the glass plank road of Fenghuangling (there are many continuous steps in front of this road, and you have to go down to a rest area where you can transfer to the scenic transfer before the road is relatively smooth). The glass plank road is very immersive and the scenery is pretty good, and then take the cable car down the mountain to transfer to the scenic transfer back to the hotel.
Now it seems that the reason why the Yuntaishan ticket is valid for three days should be that if you don’t use the elevator or cable car, the three major scenic spots are valid for one day each.

Wutai Mountain Scenic Area of Zhangzhou City is located in the northeast of Wutai County, Zhangzhou City, Shanxi Province. It covers an area of 607.43 square kilometers. It consists of Dongtai Wanghaifeng, Nantai Jinxiufeng, Xitai Hangyuefeng, Beitai Yedoufeng, Zhongtai Cuiyanfeng, and has 68 monasteries and more than 150 pagodas. It is the head of the four famous mountains of Buddhism in China and one of the five major Buddhist holy places in the world. Wutai Mountain Scenic Area in Zhangzhou City is mainly mountainous. The Buddhist temples in the region were first built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then the dynasties built temples successively, to more than 360 in the Tang Dynasty, after Huichang destroyed the Buddha, the Ming Dynasty recovered to 104. During the period from the end of Qing to the Republic of China, the temples were damaged due to war and other damage. After the founding of New China, the government allocated funds to repair buildings and statues in Wutaishan Temple. The scenic area consists of 12 independent attractions such as Taihuai Area and Foguang Temple Area. The viewing attractions are expected to see natural landscapes such as Haifeng and Jinxiu Peak, as well as humanistic landscapes such as Foguang Temple and Xiantong Temple. Wutai Mountain has preserved the world's rare ancient buildings, Buddhist statues, etc., known as "the treasure house of ancient Chinese architectural art", and accumulated rich historical and cultural heritage. Wutai Mountain Scenic Area in Zhangzhou City was named "the head of the famous Buddhist mountain" and "the holy place of Buddhism in the world". It is the only famous mountain in China that coexists with Han and Tibetan Buddhism. It was first announced as a key national scenic spot in 1982. In 1992, it was approved as a national forest park by the Ministry of Forestry. In 2007, it was recognized as the first batch of 5A-level tourist attractions in the country; in 2009 it was officially listed on the World Heritage List.
Deep in the folds of the North China Plateau, Mount Wutai is like a blooming snow lotus, with mountains and rivers as its bones and faith as its soul, writing the legend of the pure land on earth in the long river of time. This holy place, the first of the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism, melts the magnificence of nature and the brilliance of humanities, becoming a spiritual realm for dialogue between the mortal world and the fairyland.
Created by heaven and earth, the sacred mountain is first formed
The geographical features of Mount Wutai are the stroke of nature. The five peaks are surrounded like five dragons gathering together. The Wanghai Peak in the east platform watches the sunrise and the sea of clouds, the Guayue Peak in the west platform enjoys the clear moon shadow, the Jinxiu Peak in the south platform is covered with colorful flowers, the Yedou Peak in the north platform stands on the roof of North China, and the Cuiyan Peak in the middle platform hides the essence of spiritual beauty. The geology here is the mark of time: the glacier carves out the ruggedness of Longtan Canyon, the wind and sand accumulate into lines on the stone wall, and the streams weave a lively vein in the valley. In spring, the mountain flowers are all over the slopes, in midsummer, the green shade is like a canopy, in autumn, the forests are dyed with colors, and in winter, the snow covers the top of the mountain with silver. The scenery of the four seasons is all Zen.
Buddhist Sanskrit sounds, thousands of years of incense
Since the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the clear sound of Buddhism has echoed here. For two thousand years, temples have been like stars, spreading the chessboard of faith among the mountains. The bronze hall of Xiantong Temple reflects the sun and the moon, the white pagoda of Tayuan Temple points to the sky, the royal charm of Bodhisattva Peak is solemn, and the Tang Dynasty architecture of Foguang Temple witnesses the splendor of China. Every brick and tile is a scripture: the expansion of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is hidden between the brackets and eaves, the ingenuity of the Song and Yuan Dynasties is condensed in the murals and paintings, and the changes of dynasties are engraved on the stone tablets of the sutras. The morning bells and evening drums of the monks, the three-step worship of the believers, and the lingering green smoke in front of the Buddha make the thousand-year incense continue in time and space.
The world dances together, and all living things are like a play
The holy mountain is not isolated from the world, but a place where the world and the Buddha coexist. In the streets and alleys of Taihuai Town, the prayer flags of Tibetan believers and the laughter of Han tourists are intertwined, legends and stories flow in the old teahouse, and the prayer wheels and thangkas shine in the handicraft shops. In the morning, the chanting of monks resonates with the chirping of mountain birds; in the evening, the prayers of believers shine with the afterglow of the setting sun. The fireworks of vendors, the pilgrimage of travelers, and the impromptu songs of artists make this holy mountain both quiet and warm.
Spiritual totem, resonance of mountains and rivers
The soul of Mount Wutai lies in its state of integrating nature and faith. Climbing the Dailuo Peak, the five hundred steps are like a path of practice. When you reach the top, the sea of clouds surges under your feet, and the Buddhist temple appears in the clouds; when you look at the Bodhisattva Peak, the Han-Tibetan architecture tells the fusion of civilizations, and the golden top shines in the sun. Every blade of grass and every tree here is spiritual: the ancient pine is like a guardian, the spring is like nectar, and the mountain breeze carries the sound of Sanskrit. When dusk falls, thousands of bright lights light up the temple, and the starlight and the Buddha's light shine together, as if the heaven and earth are playing an eternal symphony here.
Mount Wutai is an epic of mountains and rivers, a temple of faith, and a beacon in the world. It makes every visitor a pilgrim - a pilgrimage to the great power of nature, the eternity of spirit, and the pure land of the soul. In this world, all things are spiritual, all beings are equal, and the mountains and rivers and the Buddhist kingdom compose a symphony poem that transcends time and space.
However, Mount Wutai is now too commercialized. It was originally a pure place for Buddhism, but now it is mixed with good and bad people, and the priorities are reversed.

The ticket is easy to use, and the scenery of Baquanxia is very good, but the scenic spot scheduling is not very perfect. The tour route is divided into three routes, and the queues on holidays are too scary. We entered the scenic spot at 6 o'clock during the 5.1 period and finished the tour at noon. When we went out, we saw a long queue. It is still recommended not to visit during holidays, choose weekdays or weekends.
The scenery is very beautiful, but it was unlucky when I came. There was not much water, and the scenery was a little less lively. The water where I took the boat was also dark. I don’t know why. The second half of Route A was a bit difficult. The first half into the scenic area was too tricky. It took a long time to walk.

The scenery of Linzhou Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon is very nice, just remember to check the weather forecast before going. The days we went there happened to be hot, and it was really hot (I originally expected it to be cool in the mountains, but it wasn't). The scenery of the entire Grand Canyon is nothing to say.
The Taihang Grand Canyon has stunning scenery. Tickets are free for people over 60 years old. You only need to buy a sightseeing bus ticket. The ride is comfortable, the service is thoughtful, and the price-performance ratio is super high. It is a great deal for elderly tourists!

Located in Jinan, Shandong, Europark is a large theme park. It is recommended to play exciting rides such as the Blue Fire Roller Coaster and the Big Pendulum, which is suitable for family travel. There are abundant restaurants in the park, and you can taste Shandong special snacks. It is recommended to avoid holidays and buy tickets in advance. The opening hours are 9:00-17:30, and the transportation is convenient. You can drive or take the bus to get there.
It's my first time here. It's one of the best amusement parks in Shandong. It has all kinds of facilities, especially toilets everywhere. It's very convenient to bring babies. There are many entertainment projects in the park, and you can't finish them in one day. However, if the child is less than 110cm, you can only play one-fifth of the projects. Many amusement facilities are height-dependent. The food in the dining area in the park is average and expensive. There are no chain restaurants, and they are all self-operated, but you can bring food and drinks into the park. The park has a good scenery, and there are often very good photo spots. The whole park is very large, and you can rent a sightseeing car to drive yourself, which is the kind of battery car, but the car is usually hard to grab. I heard that when there are many people on holidays, there are people lining up at six or seven in the morning to grab the sightseeing car in the park. It's really hard!

Beautiful environment is the best choice for parade, beautiful environment is the best choice for parade, beautiful environment is the best choice for parade. Beautiful environment is the best choice for parade.
Tongtian Canyon is worth coming in winter and summer. It is recommended that there will be fewer people in the morning and the film is very good. There are many ice waterfalls on the road up the mountain. You don’t have to squeeze in the ice waterfall to take pictures when you enter the scenic spot. I met a few small monkeys and they were also very cute.

Self-driving trip to Mianshan, Shanxi: Mianshan is impressive for its Buddhist and Taoist culture. The thirteen real relics of Zhengguo Temple and Yunfeng Temple seem to be the last time I saw them in Jiuhua Mountain. It seems a bit exaggerated that Daluo Palace claims to be the best Taoist temple in the world, but it is really amazing to build such a majestic Taoist temple on the cliffs. The "Tao Te Ching" carved with 46 pieces of white marble and 108 pieces of huanghuali wood in the lecture hall is amazing; Mianshan Shuitaogou may be visited at the wrong time, so I didn't feel much; may be because I didn't see Jie Gong Cemetery, I didn't feel much about the Cold Food Festival culture; what I felt was that the management of Mianshan is not good enough, the elevator in Zhengguo Temple was not open, we were exhausted, and it took us two hours, but the 50 yuan scenic fee for Mianshan Scenic Area is still worth it. Of course, the parking fee of 20 yuan per time is expensive.
Mianshan originated from the Spring and Autumn Period when Jie Zitui of Jin State lived in seclusion with his mother and was burned on the mountain. It has a long history and beautiful scenery. The infrastructure such as cable cars and elevators are relatively complete. Recommended: Daluo Palace, Yunfeng Temple, Zhengguo Temple, Jiegong Ridge, Shuitaogou.

The scenery of lakes and mountains is in the middle of nothingness, the county floats in front of the river, and the waves move the distant sky. Xiangyang has a good wind and sun, and I stay drunk with the mountain hermit. It should be more beautiful in autumn. It is a bit foggy today, and the mountains in the distance are not very clear. There are water projects, but we two adults did not play. The scenery on the mountain is pleasant, one step at a time, and it is different when you turn a corner. I suggest you come early. It is a bit hot at noon, but the mountain is okay. Let's take a look at the photos!
The most famous scenic spot in Yi County, Hebei Province, first take a boat at the pier. We took the boat from Jinpo Pier, which took about 25 minutes. When we arrived at the scenic spot, we started to climb the mountain, which took about two hours. There were some scenery on the way, and we could enjoy the lake view from a high place. Overall, it was good, but the ticket price was a bit expensive, and the cost performance was average. In addition, the boat had exhaust gas.

The scenic spot is very large. When I went back, I took the sightseeing bus. It was almost four hours. There were not many people in the scenic spot. Everything was smooth. The weather was good and not hot on the day I went. The most anticipated waterfall was in front of me and found that there was not much water.
Family, recently went to the Baligou Scenic Area, it was really worth it! As soon as I entered the scenic area, the fresh air came on my face, and I instantly blown away my fatigue in the city. Walking along the mountain trail, surrounded by towering peaks, and the sound of streams in your ears, like walking into a paradise. The Tianhe Waterfall is super shocking, and the huge water flow is running from a high place, splashing layers of water. I also went to the water curtain hole and stood inside and looked at the waterfall outside, as if I was in a fairyland. And the service in the scenic spot is also very intimate, small traffic can help us save a lot of physical strength. In short, Baligou is really a good place to get close to nature and relax. I highly recommend it to everyone!
