Climb the ancient plank road of a thousand years, admire the beautiful scenery of the Yellow River, and see the ten-mile peach blossoms at Ladder Cliff!

In the bond between Qin and Jin, where mountains and rivers connect, lies one of China's top ten most beautiful canyons, the Yellow River Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon. Within it, there is a place that combines mythological stories, historical relics, and natural scenery, which is the national 4A-level scenic spot, the Yellow River Ladder Cliff Scenic Area. Here, you can ascend the heavenly ladder, leap over the Dragon Gate, and admire the peach blossoms. The 'Glass Plank Road' and 'Flying Cloud Crossing' are thrilling and exciting, while 'Strolling in the Clouds' and 'Dragon Leaping Elevator' offer panoramic views of the grand canyon's landscape. Beneath the ancient plank road of the Northern Wei Dynasty, 1600 years ago, cars speed along the Huanghe Highway. Take a photo, and you'll capture the Yellow River, the highway, and the ancient plank road, three elements from different times and spaces converging in one place. The wisdom, diligence, and unity of the Chinese nation seem to crystallize here. Every mid-March, in the Peach Blossom Valley, with its winding paths and babbling brooks, a gentle spring breeze and dazzling peach blossoms, walking among this paradise is like being in a fairyland. This year's visit was too early, missing the season of blooming peach blossoms. Let this regret be saved for the next encounter! Atop Ladder Cliff, the Yiti City was a military garrison during the Northern Wei period, with a temple dedicated to Yu the Great built within. The well-known story of Yu the Great passing his home three times without entering while controlling the waters has been widely recognized and enriched over time, and it is also the root of the 'competitive and pioneering' spirit of Hejin. The Yellow River was not originally yellow; it changed its appearance because it accommodated hundreds of rivers. A mother was originally beautiful, but she became weathered because of raising her children... Indeed, women are born great, and to pay tribute to ladies and welcome the arrival of Goddess Festival, Ladder Cliff Scenic Area offers promotions from March 8th to 10th. Ladies purchasing the first ticket can enjoy a half-price discount; ② Ladies purchasing a package that includes tickets can get a 30 yuan discount; ③ Ladies wearing Hanfu can enter the park for free on their first ticket; Our lovely ladies, what are you waiting for? Ladder Cliff is a place you'll miss once you've been. The scenery changes with the seasons: peach blossoms vying for beauty in spring, lush green trees in summer, forests dyed with layers of color in autumn, and a world wrapped in silver in winter. What remains unchanged are the ancient plank roads that have withstood the test of time, the endless flow of the Yellow River, and the good stories of Qin and Jin!
