Newly opened in 2024 with fewer crowds and a better experience✨ Daytime tickets are 80 RMB, and the first 2,000 visitors at night get in free (if you miss the free tickets, it’s only 40 RMB). Nearly 4,000 cultural relics, three-quarters of which are on display for the first time, are so stunning they leave you speechless!😭 It’s recommended to start from the 3rd floor and go down—bronze ritual vessels, oracle bone fragments, jade ornaments, each piece holds the Shang and Zhou dynasty secrets~ The 1st-floor cultural and creative area is great for shopping, and the coffee is unique too. After walking, having a cup is super relaxing☕ Then visit the palace and ancestral temple ruins; the 50 RMB combined ticket also includes the royal tomb, and you can finish in 2 hours~ Don’t miss Fuhao’s Tomb!

TRIP MUSIC AWARD "Small Town Dreamers"

Living in Shanghai makes you lose touch with the real China. Truth is, many provinces in China are not yet as developed. Henan is such a province-many people still struggle with poverty and arriving there, it felt like I had gone back in time. However, Henan a place with immense historical significance. Henan is often referred to as "The mother of China" because historians say that Chinese civilization originated in this region. During our stay, we visited The Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, the largest and most impressive collection of Chinese cave carvings from the late Northern Wei and Tang Dynasties. We also visited Shaolin temple, often known as the birthplace of martial arts and Zen Buddhism, and watched masters of kungfu practice their craft. In Henan, I got to see a different side of China, and it has only made me love this country even more. #china #travelinspiration #tripblazers #mytripvlog #travelphotography

No need to travel far—just 1.5 hours from the suburbs of Xinxiang lies a soul-soothing mountain and water secret spot: Baligou. In the gentle spring sunshine, with blooming flowers adorning the ridges and waterfalls rushing down, the beauty of nature is woven into every moment. No need for travel guides or crowded spots; for hardworking people, weekends here are perfect to release all fatigue and joy. In April, Baligou is like a poem soaked in floral fragrance. From the mountain gate to Peach Blossom Bay, fields of lupines color the slopes—pink like morning dew, purple like misty hills, blue like mountain streams—hanging in clusters among the trees. When the wind blows, the flowers sway and a subtle fragrance drifts along the stream, as if stepping into a real-life Wonderland. Standing quietly among the flowers in light clothing, no filters needed—every photo is naturally soft and forest-like, effortlessly filling your social feed with poetic charm. Mountains and waters complement each other, which is Baligou’s true essence. The Tianhe Waterfall cascades like the Milky Way, with a drop of nearly 180 meters, a thousand-foot white ribbon of water and mist. On sunny days, sunlight pierces through the mist, often creating double rainbows in front of the falls—majestic and romantic. Walk into the Water Curtain Cave, passing behind the waterfall, touch the cool mist with your fingertips, and immerse yourself in the purity and spirit of the “Northern Water World.” Along the banks of the Red Stone River, the crimson quartz rocks reflect the emerald water, creating a stunning red-and-green contrast. Barefoot in the water, feeling the refreshing chill, you might encounter wild macaques, adorable and playful, whose feeding will melt away all worries. For about 80 RMB per person, you can enjoy the full bloom of the scenery. It’s just a two-hour drive from Zhengzhou or Xinxiang, with affordable prices in the scenic area—worry-free and pleasant. Address: Baligou Scenic Area, Huixian, Xinxiang ⏰ Best Blooming Period: Peak in April (lasting until early May) 💡 Tips: Wear light-colored outfits for photos, bring a thin jacket for mountain temperature changes, and non-slip shoes for ease.

🌺The flowers are in full bloom now, you’ll really regret it if you don’t go! 🏞️Huge fields of lupine flowers in the valley are blooming wildly—purple, pink, white layers upon layers, combined with the green waters and waterfalls of the Taihang Mountains, it looks just like a movie scene! 📅 Late March to early May is the peak blooming period, so now is the perfect time to catch the flowers at their best. 🎫 How to buy tickets for the best deal 💰The regular price for an adult ticket including transportation is 160 RMB, but it’s recommended to book online in advance, which is 10 RMB cheaper than buying on-site. 🤫 A little secret: The official live broadcast room occasionally offers limited-time discounts. Before buying, you can search for "Xinxiang Nantaihang" for surprises. 🚗 Direct transportation guide 🛣️The Taihang Expressway is fully open, just navigate to "Bali Gou Scenic Area," exit at Bali Gou station, and the exit is only 200 meters from the parking lot! 🚙It’s just a 1-hour drive from Zhengzhou and 20 minutes from Xinxiang city center. 👍No more detours, big thumbs up to the transportation department. 📍 One-day tour route (easy version) 🚌Take the sightseeing bus from the visitor center (definitely take it! Hiking 8 km is too exhausting) → 🌸Peach Blossom Bay (peach forests on both sides + creek reflections, full of ancient charm) → 🌷Lupine Flower Sea (the main photo spot, flower spikes look like little wind chimes, photos taken inside are amazing) → 💦Tianhe Waterfall (view flowers through the mist, very atmospheric) → ⛰️Yixiantian → 🌊Hongshi River ⏱️The whole trip takes 4-5 hours, walking and taking photos, not tiring at all. 💡 Honest tips to avoid pitfalls 1️⃣ Go early: 9-11 AM has the softest light, fewer people, and better photo conditions. After noon, crowds increase and the experience drops by half. 2️⃣ Wear light-colored clothes: The flower sea is very colorful, light colors stand out best, and a white dress looks like a magazine shoot even with casual photos. 3️⃣ Bring a light jacket: The mountain has big temperature differences between morning and night, hot at noon and cool at night—don’t ask how I know. 4️⃣ Bring your own water and snacks: There are vendors in the scenic area, but you know the prices. If you get thirsty halfway up the mountain, you’ll have to queue to buy, so it’s better to carry some yourself.

Who says Shibuya is only about endless crowds and noise? Cross that busy intersection and head east, and you'll discover a completely different Shibuya East. Here, the flamboyance of Harajuku fades away, and compared to the complexity of Shinjuku, there's a quieter, more refined atmosphere and the quality of life it should have. 📷 Shibuya East · Street Stories "Far away is a forest of steel and concrete, nearby is the breath of blooming flowers." Walking down the main street of Shibuya, the originally solemn gray and white buildings are broken by a striking deep pink. These are the early-blooming cold cherry blossoms (or Okanzakura), quietly standing along the bustling streets, painting a gentle base layer over this business district. Unique tranquility: Traffic still flows here, but without the loud crowds of tourists. Passersby hurry along but often can’t help but pick up their cameras during red lights to capture this fleeting brilliance. A bourgeois artistic atmosphere: Many architecturally designed apartment buildings line the streets (like the white stepped building), complementing the huge digital billboards. Here, the sharp edges of modern civilization are softened by floral shadows, quiet like an afternoon prose poem. 📍 Shibuya East · Must-Visit Perspectives Meiji Dori’s “Pink Corridor” View: See the deep pink cherry blossoms forming a line amid the traffic, creating a strong visual contrast with the office buildings in the background. Highlight: The cherry blossom colors here are richer, looking especially sophisticated on cloudy or dim days. “Flower and Bird Painting” in the Digital Age View: Look up at the giant LED screen on the rooftop, where dynamic cherry blossoms and birds on branches blend with the real cherry blossoms by the roadside in a mix of virtual and reality. Reflection: This wonderful fusion of high technology and nature is the unique romance of Shibuya. Minimalist Architecture at the Corner View: The staggered white terraces, framed by floral shadows, make every casual shot look like a minimalist fashion spread. 💡 Travel Tips Avoid crowds: Recommended to visit between 3 PM and 5 PM when the light is soft and you can capture the depth of the street. Strolling route: Walk from Shibuya Station toward Ebisu, where many boutique coffee shops line the way. When tired, order a latte and watch the city’s “fast and slow” under the cherry trees. 🌸 The cherry blossom season has begun. In Shibuya, if you’re tired of the crowded intersection, try heading east. There you’ll find a quiet confession that belongs only to spring.

About self-driving: South Taihang roads are winding and steep; no parking on cliff roads; novice drivers should be cautious. Fill up the tank before entering the mountains as gas stations are scarce.

Clothing guide: Large temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains; bring a light jacket even in summer. Shoes must be non-slip sports or hiking shoes as stones in the canyon are slippery. Bring rain gear as mountain weather changes quickly. 5. Pitfall warnings: · Always buy shuttle bus tickets; distances between scenic spots are too far to walk. · Don’t trust shortcuts on navigation apps; some rural roads are only one car wide with a mountain on one side and a ravine on the other, making it hard to turn back. · Guoliang Village is quite commercialized; for a more original ancient village, visit Luojiezhai or Fangdai Village. 6. Food recommendations: · Guoliang Village farmhouse dishes: stir-fried wild chives with local eggs, acorn jelly, about 40 RMB per person · Xinxiang city: Geji Red Braised Lamb, lamb soup with pancake strips is a local hidden delicacy, about 60 RMB per person · Any farmhouse in the mountains: big stew, pepper stir-fried meat, local vegetable stir-fried eggs are all delicious Following this route, you will deeply experience the shock of cliff roads, the coolness of canyon waterfalls, and the grandeur of Taihang Sky Road. Have a great trip!

“The benevolent delight in mountains, the wise delight in waters.” Always yearning for an intimate encounter with nature’s mountains and waters, this time, I embarked on a journey to Xinxian Baligou to explore the breathtaking hidden gem nestled in the Taihang Mountains. Entering the Scenic Area: Meeting the Beauty of Nature In the early morning, with sunlight warming my skin, I arrived at Baligou Scenic Area full of anticipation. Just passing through the entrance, the rolling high mountains came into view, towering into the clouds as if cleaved by a giant axe of nature, majestic and imposing. Walking along the winding path, the scenery on both sides was stunning. The old longevity deity carved on the stone tablet looked kindly and seemed to welcome every visitor; nearby, tall bamboo swayed gently in the breeze, rustling softly; beneath the bamboo, small flowers quietly lifted their faces as if smiling at me. Continuing forward, I reached a small lake. The water was a deep blue, like a huge sapphire embedded in the earth. I couldn’t help but reach out to touch the water; the icy coolness instantly spread through my body, refreshing and invigorating. Tadpoles swam in groups across the lake, passing right by a vocal fountain. Standing beside it, I shouted “Ah~” loudly, and the fountain sprayed higher and higher in response to my voice, which was very amusing. Exploring the Waterfalls: Feeling the Majestic Power Following the path further, the roaring sound of a waterfall gradually grew louder. I quickened my pace, running toward the sound. Soon, I arrived at the waterfall. Walking over the top, the strong wind whipped the water into spray, and countless droplets hit my face like a natural shower. The most breathtaking was the Tianhe Waterfall. It plunged from a peak over 100 meters high, misty and smoky, like a white dragon descending from the sky. Standing at the foot of the waterfall, I looked up to see the water rushing down fiercely, crashing against the rocks with a “boom boom” sound, sending water columns and countless splashes soaring meters high. It reminded me of the famous line by Tang poet Li Bai: “The waterfall cascades three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way is falling from the Ninth Heaven.” Sunlight passing through the mist formed a beautiful rainbow, and at that moment, I felt as if I were in a fairyland. Below the waterfall was a magical Water Curtain Cave. The cave twisted and turned, stretching several hundred meters. Water flowed from the cave ceiling, forming a spectacular curtain of water—sometimes in beads, sometimes in lines or sheets. The sound of water alternated between thunderous and gentle. Inside the narrow cave, only two people could walk side by side, and we had to be careful of sudden stalactites. They hung like inverted bells overhead, stood tall like jade bamboo shoots on the side, or blossomed like stone flowers in front, dazzling the eyes. Braving the One-Line Sky: Challenging My Limits I had heard that One-Line Sky was very perilous. After seeing Tianhe Waterfall, I persuaded my family to climb it with me. Looking up at One-Line Sky, I saw towering stone walls on both sides with only a narrow crack in the middle—so high, so dangerous! Seeing such a daunting height, I hesitated, wondering if I could make it. But when I saw a little boy climbing ahead of me with determination, I thought, if even a small child dares to climb, I can too. So I gathered my courage and climbed up vigorously. Soon, we reached the most dangerous section without chains. On the right was a stone wall; on the left, a canyon where one misstep could mean a fatal fall. I gripped the rock tightly, cautiously moving up step by step, my heart pounding with every move. My family encouraged me continuously, cheering me on. With their support, we overcame the difficulties and carefully passed that section, finally reaching the mountain top. Standing there, I overlooked the entire Baligou—endless mountain ranges, dense forests, and clear streams—all in view, filling me with a sense of achievement and joy. Strolling Through the Sea of Flowers: Immersed in Fragrance After descending from One-Line Sky, we arrived beside a sea of flowers. It was truly a kingdom of flowers, with various blossoms competing in beauty and fragrance. The queen of flowers, the rose, was vibrant—red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow; the water fairy daffodils stood gracefully, emitting a faint fragrance; cute little white chrysanthemums clustered together, as if laughing and bustling with life. I strolled through the flower sea, feeling the floral scent and gentle breeze, as if in a dreamlike world. Return Journey: Leaving with Beautiful Memories As the sun set, we reluctantly left Baligou. This trip allowed me to appreciate the wonders and beauty of nature and experience the joy of challenging myself. The mountains, waters, waterfalls, flower seas, and steep peaks of Baligou left a deep impression on me, becoming a cherished memory in my heart. “Mountains and waters have feelings; time remains peaceful.” Xinxian Baligou, this charming land, I will always remember your beauty. If I have the chance, I will definitely come again to experience your charm once more! 1. Scenic Area Overview Location: Shangbali Town, Huixian City, Xinxiang, Henan Province.
