A day trip to Yunqiu Mountain in Linfen, my legs are sore

I hit the highway at 9 p.m. on April 30th, drove for four hours to reach the resort hotel at the foot of Yunqiu Mountain, and started climbing the mountain around 10 a.m. the next morning! As usual, we checked in outside the scenic area, a 5A-level tourist attraction, with an ancient costume parade right at the entrance, and there are performance activities in the big square at night. Not far away, you can take a cable car up the mountain. There are two sightseeing routes, from the front mountain to the back mountain. We chose to go from the back mountain to the front mountain. There are also two cable car lines; we took the shorter one. We climbed to the Ancestor's Peak first, then to the Jade Emperor's Peak. As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain but hard to come down. My legs, calves, and knees hurt and trembled on the way down! My child really had a tough time, taking 24,000 steps in total but persevered throughout the journey. The perennial ice cave was also nice, enjoying the coolness in the early summer. We didn't want to cross the glass walkway, but it was a shortcut. Otherwise, we would have to walk an additional 162 kilometers, and we were too tired to go any further! The Ta'er ancient village at the bottom was really nice; my child liked it a lot. There was wine brewing, wedding folk performances, tofu grinding, and chili sauce making. It was a perfect day!
