Jingshan.

Jingshan.

Day 1: Departure and First Encounter As the first ray of sunlight pierced through the curtains, I knew that my long-awaited trip to Jingshan was about to begin. With an infinite yearning for natural scenery and a heart full of exploration, I embarked on a journey to this renowned summer resort. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window was picturesque, with mountains overlapping, lush greenery, and a landscape that unfolded like a delicate scroll of nature. As the car approached, the outline of Jingshan became increasingly clear, and the towering peaks were even more magnificent against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. At the foot of the mountain, a breath of fresh air washed away the fatigue of the journey. I took a deep breath, as if I could inhale the greenery and vitality of the mountain. Looking up, I saw clouds and mist swirling around the mountains, like a fairyland, making me look forward to the upcoming hike. Day 2: Climbing and Exploring In the morning, we woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and we set off to climb the main peak of Jingshan. The mountain path was winding, with lush trees and colorful wildflowers on both sides. Occasionally, we could see squirrels jumping and playing in the branches, adding a touch of life and vitality to the quiet forest. As the altitude gradually increased, the scenery before us became even more spectacular. The distant mountains were layered and surrounded by clouds and mist, like a flowing landscape painting. Up close, there were various strange peaks and rocks, each with a different shape, making me marvel at the wonders of nature. During the climb, we also encountered many challenges, but it was these challenges that made us cherish each other's help and support, and our friendship was sublimated in sweat. Day 3: Sea of Clouds and Sunrise To see the sea of clouds and sunrise at Jingshan, we got up early. As the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the mountains, the entire valley was bathed in a golden glow, so beautiful that it was intoxicating. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking around, I saw the sea of clouds rolling like a vast ocean. The distant peaks were hidden and revealed in the sea of clouds, like islands in a fairyland. At that moment, I felt like I was in the middle of the world, all my worries and sorrows were gone with the wind, leaving only peace and tranquility in my heart. As the sunrise ended, we also ended our unforgettable trip to Jingshan. Looking back at the mountain that gave us countless beautiful memories, I was filled with gratitude and reluctance. I believe that this journey will be one of my most precious treasures in life, forever etched in my memory.

A Hotel Worth Taking Your Kids To!!!

A Hotel Worth Taking Your Kids To!!!

Xinyang Hotel Review | Century Star (Near Railway Station Tianrun Plaza) Century Star Hotel (Xinyang Railway Station Tianrun Plaza Branch) Shihe District - 60 Xinhua East Road I booked the Zero Pressure King Room, which includes: Smart Control (Xiaodu Xiaodu) Refrigerator + 65-inch Screen Mirroring TV + Zero Pressure Bedding + Breakfast. Because there were no available rooms when I arrived, I was upgraded to a Tea Art King Room for FREE, which is the Zero Pressure King Room with an additional tea table (see picture). Location: Excellent, right across from the South Square of Xinyang Railway Station, in the same building as Ji Hotel, but at a better price and more intelligent. Call "Xiaodu" for full house smart control. The theme color of the entire room is bean green, which is very fresh and beautiful. There are bathrobes with fleece lining. The room's heating is very powerful, and the toilet is a three-part separation. The toilet is smart, and the toilet seat is warm. I stayed for two nights and basically didn't hear any noise.

Jigong Mountain

Jigong Mountain

Jigong Mountain, located within the territory of Xinyang City, Henan Province, to the east of Tongbai Mountain, at the westernmost end of the Dabie Mountains, is a national nature reserve. The area is rich in forest and biological resources, earning the reputation of 'dividing the green between Henan and Hubei, and controlling the three rivers'. The 'Buddha's light, sea of clouds, rime, rain crust, rosy clouds, exotic flowers and plants, peculiar peaks and rocks, waterfalls and flowing springs' are known as the eight great natural landscapes. On the mountain, there are architectural complexes from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China with different nationalities and styles, known as the 'World Architecture Museum', which was the first public concession in Chinese history. The most characteristic buildings include the Yilu House, General's Tower, Misty Rain Tower, Huijing Tower, American Church, and Swedish Building. At 765 meters, ascending to the peak offers an unobstructed view of the entire mountain. At the foot of Baoxiao Peak, there is a poem inscribed: 'Ascend Jigong Mountain leisurely, climb Baoxiao Peak swiftly, where the scenery is fine, and the summer heat is tempered by autumn winds.' Jigong Mountain is named after this peak, and Baoxiao Peak is the symbol of Jigong Mountain.

Here, every breath is a deep confession to nature, and every step taken echoes with history. 🏞️【Attractions】🏞️ 1. Jigong Mountain: Known as the 'Green Divide between Chu and Yu', Jigong Mountain is a paradise for summer retreats. Strolling among the century-old villas is like traveling back to the leisurely years of the Republic of China, with a distant view from the mountain peak, the sea of clouds churning, a sight too beautiful to absorb. 2. Nanwan Lake: The vast and clear Nanwan Lake, known as the 'Pearl of Southern Henan'. Taking a flat boat through more than 100 islands, tasting the lake's fresh fish, and admiring the seamless blend of water and sky, one's soul can completely relax. 3. Shihetang Town Tea Mountain: This is the main production area of Xinyang Maojian tea. Coming here in spring to participate in tea picking and tea making experiences, personally brewing a cup of fresh tea, you can feel the journey of freshness from fingertips to taste buds. 🍽️【Cuisine】🍽️ • Xinyang Hot Dry Noodles: Different from Wuhan's hot dry noodles, Xinyang's version pays more attention to the richness of the soup base and the chewiness of the noodles, paired with a special sesame sauce, each bite is satisfying. • Nanwan Fish Head Soup: Made from wild large fish heads from Nanwan Lake, the soup is milky in color, fresh but not greasy, a delicacy not to be missed in Xinyang. • Chestnut Braised Chicken: Using local free-range chicken and wild chestnuts, the meat is tender and the chestnuts are sweet, warming both the stomach and the heart. 🚗【Transportation Tips】🚗 • Getting to Xinyang: Xinyang East Station is the choice for direct high-speed trains, with direct trains from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other places; Xinyang Minggang Airport connects to many major cities in China, providing convenience for travelers from afar. • City Transportation: Xinyang has a well-developed urban bus network, and taking a taxi or using a shared bicycle is also a good choice for exploring the city.

Xinyang Tea Mountain, so beautiful

Xinyang Tea Mountain, so beautiful

Exploring Xinyang Tea Mountain, why don't people want to leave once they come? A pure enjoyment experience of Xinyang for the third time, taking you to uncover the unique charm of this city! Xinyang, a city hidden in the fragrance of tea. In the urban area, although I haven't personally tasted the private food store of my university classmate, the crispy and tempting pot rice makes me look forward to the next food exploration. Moving to Wenxin Tea Village, I stumbled upon Jinxia Farmhouse, and the surprise of saving 60 yuan made the trip more pleasant. The tea mountain scenery is infinite, overlooking from the top, all you see is green, and the sweetness of ice cream adds a touch of coolness to this trip. However, the bitterness of Jian Shan Coffee reminds us that although the scenery is good, the taste buds still need to be picky. Nanhu Bay Peacock Island, with affordable tickets, barbecue picnic, and the tranquility under the sunset make people forget the hustle and bustle, time seems to freeze at this moment. Xinyang, a name that makes people fall in love, every visit has new discoveries. Come to the comment section to share your Xinyang memories, or tell me where else you want to find peace of mind? Thank you for watching, looking forward to meeting you again on the road of travel!
