Wow, it's a masterpiece of nature. Went to Longmen Grottoes! As soon as I got off the bus, I was hit by the historical atmosphere. Strolling along the Yi River, the grottoes stacked up layer upon layer, it was incredibly spectacular. The Vairocana Buddha was so stunning, his eyes were so compassionate, it's a true treasure. The only regret was that there were so many people, so all the photos were group photos.
I was very lucky to come to the long-awaited Longmen Grottoes, and I was also very lucky to make an appointment with the gold medal tour guide "Teacher Liang Liang", who was really professional. The whole trip lasted three and a half hours. Teacher Liang Liang was very professional and helped us explain in a very delicate way all the knowledge and insights we wanted to know and beyond my own cognition. Her explanation also added a lot of surprises and colors to this trip. I seemed to have traveled back to an era more than a thousand years ago through her explanation, and it was as if I was having a conversation with our ancestors more than a thousand years ago. It was really worth the trip. I strongly recommend that everyone make an appointment with Guide Liang, because a professional tour guide is really too important. I also wish everyone can take time out of their busy schedule to start a soul travel journey with themselves. Finally, I want to say that I will come back, and I hope I can make an appointment with Liang Liang next time😚😚😚

Huashan is well worth a visit. Transportation is now convenient. The Xi'an high-speed rail takes 28 minutes to Huashan North. A taxi takes you to the Huashan base, and the scenic shuttle bus takes 40 minutes. For those who are more energetic, you can take the ascending cable car for 30 yuan per person, which takes you directly to the West Peak. The cable car takes you up to the West Peak, which takes 20 minutes. The summit of West Peak is just a short distance away. From West Peak to South Peak, it takes about 30 minutes. The cable car takes you down the mountain from South Peak to Filial Piety Peak, East Peak, and West Peak in about an hour. The scenic shuttle bus takes you down the mountain in 40 minutes. The Huashan day trip departs Xi'an North at 7:52 and arrives in Xi'an around 18:30. It was a pleasant day with clear weather and we enjoyed the most beautiful scenery of Huashan.
Visiting Mount Huashan is truly an unforgettable experience. Starting from the foot of the mountain, every step brings a sense of the wonder and wonder of nature. The magnificent scenery and fresh air are a truly spiritual cleansing experience. While the climb is arduous, the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction when you finally stand at the summit and gaze out over your surroundings is truly indescribable. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and natural beauty; it's definitely a trip worth trying!

It's a truly breathtaking place. When you reach the waterfall, the water splashes into the air, and the sound of the Yellow River is like thunder. Even under scorching sun, standing by the waterfall will cool you down and get soaked by the mist, so bring a raincoat.
It's definitely worth the trip; photos and videos can't capture the breathtaking spectacle of what you see with your own eyes.
This attraction is absolutely amazing! The scenery is incredibly captivating and breathtaking. The service is exceptionally attentive, and the staff are friendly and professional. The facilities are excellent, and the experience is fantastic. It's definitely worth a visit and highly recommended!

The scenic area's shuttle service was average, but the fare was cheap. There was nowhere to put the stroller on the bus, and the staff just watched and refused to help. The service was lacking.
The guide we hired was quite good at explaining the tour.
I stayed in Taiyuan for 2 nights. It's a bit further from the city center than the Jin Temple. Although it was off-season, there were still a lot of people. I listened to the official audio guide briefly and followed the instructions to walk around. It took about 2-3 hours. It's still worth the trip. There is a museum inside and a large park outside. Many local elderly people come here for a walk.

There are many attractions in the city, so it's best to set aside a full day to visit. Xietongqing, the Confucian Temple, and the Pingyao County Yamen are all worth visiting. The county yamen has a court performance, so you can go there in advance to wait for it to start. There are many places to eat in the ancient city. I recommend Tianyuankui. The food is very good, the service is great, and the price is quite affordable with the coupon.
The Pingyao City Wall is located in Pingyao County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province. It was first built during the reign of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty (827-728 BC) and covers an area of approximately 85,690 square meters. The western and northern sides of the wall were built by the Western Zhou general Yin Jifu when he stationed troops here during his northern expedition against the Xianyun. It is a national cultural relic protection unit.

It is so exquisite that I am speechless. I admire and respect the wisdom of the ancients, whether it is dustproof or structure, construction, or grasp of details, I am in awe.
Xiaoxitian Temple in Xi County, Shanxi Province. Black Myth: Wukong, China's first truly global AAA single-player action role-playing game, released on August 20, 2024, features 36 major filming locations across China, with this location being the most famous. Following the game's release, Xi County, Shanxi Province, a small, mostly unknown county, has been flooded with tourists... They spend two hours taking photos (no flash), glittering with the sight of the gods and Buddhas. This is a nationally protected cultural relic, illuminated only by natural light, from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM daily. The earlier you go, the better; after 10 AM, the main hall becomes difficult to see.

Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a Chinese wonder worth a once-in-a-lifetime visit. It's recommended to view it from either Shaanxi or Shanxi Province. From the Shaanxi side, traditional buildings are dotted with scattered red flags. Shaanxi offers magnificent views of Hukou, with its cascading rock formations along the shore. Stand by the river and marvel at the cascading, geometric structure of the waterfall.
Ke Zhenliang leaped over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, watched by millions. A sculpture commemorates his impossible feat.
There is no feeling of high mountains and flowing water. The ticket is too expensive and not worth it. You have to take a bus to get in. The bus stop is quite far away. It is a natural scenic spot that is too commercialized.

Henan's attractions won't disappoint! Every theater is refreshing, both in content and performance. Don't worry about your children getting lost in the action. They might not fully grasp the content, but the performances will definitely captivate them, so both adults and children will find something they enjoy!
I went in at 10am and watched 3 main plays (two were enough for me to go in), 8 small theaters and 2 outdoor ones. I came out at almost 10pm and only bought 2 bottles of water in between. Needless to say, it was the best this year.

The tour guide spoke very well and was very patient. I learned a lot about the history of Qiao Family Courtyard. She asked questions and took photos as we walked. There were also elderly people present. The explanation, which was supposed to last from one to one and a half hours, stretched to two hours without any impatience. I was very happy.
The Qiao Family Compound is a famous residential complex in Shanxi Province, located in Qiaojiabao, Qi County. The family's fortune began with the first owner, Qiao Guifa, who, due to poverty, ventured out to explore the countryside. He made friends with fellow villagers and gradually built his fortune by selling tofu. The Qiao Family Compound boasts numerous exquisite brick and wood carvings, including a carp leaping over a dragon's gate and abundant grapes. The Qiao family's back garden is also quite impressive.

Henan's Shaolin Temple is well worth a visit! 👏 It's not only the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism but also the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu, a registered World Cultural Heritage site. Whether you're interested in history and culture, Buddhist art, or Shaolin Kung Fu, this temple offers a rich experience.
🏯 A thousand-year-old temple where Zen and martial arts merge.
It’s a lifesaver if you need to cover Shaolin Temple, watch the free kungfu performance and yet hike the Shaoshi Peak all within the same day. It saves you huge amount of time without having you to rush through the hike and missed photographing all the nice spots. The cost is also super value for money if you compare ropeway prices of other mountains in China.
