📸Good places to take photos:
1⃣️Before entering the village, along the river by the road, the scenery is picturesque, with the forest as a neighbor, the water is gurgling, it is an excellent place to take photos.
2⃣️About 500 meters from the end of the navigation, the autumn colors there are colorful and beautiful, which is the reason why I dream of living in the mountains and forests.
3⃣️In the forest along the way, the real scene is several times more beautiful than the photos.
4⃣️On the top of the mountain, even if it is not green grass, the scenery is also very charming, and the windmill in the distance adds a bit of poetry.

❗Tips:
❶Although the road is narrow, it is enough for overtaking. There are no large vehicles, and it is much easier to walk than Pang Quan Gou.
❷There is a section of the road surface that needs to wade. As long as the vehicle chassis is not too low, it should be fine to drive slowly.
❸The temperature on the top of the mountain is low, it is recommended to wear windproof or thick clothes.
❹Remember to bring enough food and drinks, bring hot water, and solve personal needs in advance, because there is only one toilet on the top of the mountain.
❺Bring a partner who is good at photography, which is very important for your travel record.

Luyashan live | Shanxi has its own Altai
| Shanxi has its own Altai. During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, take the high-speed train from Beijing to Taiyuan, sleep overnight, and after a 3-hour drive the next morning, you can reach Luyashan. It is said that May to August is the most beautiful season for Luyashan~ It is now May, and the mountains are full of yellow, purple, and red wildflowers in bloom. The Altai of Shanxi really lives up to its reputation.
⛰️ He Ye Ping
Driving and navigating to He Ye Ping in Wuzhai County is free, the road is relatively flat, but it's a bit difficult for business vehicles to pass each other.
He Ye Ping has the largest subalpine meadow in North China, with an altitude of over 2000 meters. The scenery is very beautiful, like a huge green carpet~ It is named after the lotus leaf-like plants on the mountain (P3). The meadow feels great underfoot, fluffy and soft 🦋 and there are also many astrophotography enthusiasts here to shoot the Milky Way 🌌
⛰️ North Line + West Line
You need to buy a ticket 🎫 for the Luyashan scenic area
North Line - Hanging Village, Perennial Ice Cave, Hanging Coffins, Hanging Plank Road
West Line - Malun Grassland, Luyashan (Taizi Dian main peak), Lover's Valley
Okay, it feels 🌂 unnecessary to bring some encumbrance
3️⃣ Do a good job of sun protection
4️⃣ There are more places to eat and stay in Wuzhai County, and the international big j hotels are relatively clean
5️⃣ Ningwu's specialty is to eat local (personally think that the aroma and taste of silver plate mushrooms are not inferior to Yunnan's mushrooms). Maojian tea tastes very refreshing. I have also drunk local mountain tea in Wuzhai, I don't know the specific name, but it's sweet aftertaste and very refreshing, worth a try

It takes about 3h to arrive from Taiyuan, this place is not yet fully developed, it's a pristine natural landscape!
Lotus Leaf Plateau is the largest subalpine meadow in North China with an altitude of 2783 meters, located at the junction of Kelan, Wuzhai, and Ningwu counties right next to Luya Mountain. Surrounded by mountains and water, it offers a broad view and is a rare outdoor paradise within Shanxi Province
As is well known, Shanxi is a province severely lacking in water resources, but here you will find no such trouble. It is said that this is the real source of the Fen River
The correct way to open up Lotus Leaf Plateau is by hiking. The forest vegetation is rich, and the hiking conditions are mature, making it a great destination for weekend hiking and excursions
Climbing to the top of Lotus Leaf Plateau, you can gaze at the surrounding mountains, feeling relaxed and refreshed
Being in Lotus Leaf Plateau is like entering a vast grassland
Occasionally passing horses will make you wonder if this is still Shanxi? It's unbelievably beautiful!!
! Tips :
The hiking route is complex, it is recommended to go with professional outdoors people. Do not litter in the mountains, take all trash out with you. Drinking water is very important during hiking, it is recommended to bring plenty of drinking water.
