The summit reaches an elevation of 2,721 meters, and this vast subalpine meadow covers approximately 6,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres). In spring and summer, the grasslands are covered in verdant grass and dotted with wildflowers, while in autumn and winter, rime and ice can be seen hanging from the ground, or blanketed in snow. The ruins of the Northern Qi Great Wall also traverse this area, creating a fascinating juxtaposition of history and nature.
During the holiday, we arrived at Luya Mountain in about 2.5 hours from Taiyuan.
Seasonal Activities: We visited a free attraction. The villages surrounding Luya Mountain are all alpine meadows, with beautiful scenery and herds of cattle and sheep. It was a very pleasant experience.
Route P: We recommend Damiao Village and Houmalun Village, which you'll pass by on the way to the Malen Grassland. It's a bit cold now, so wear a jacket.

The Taihang Grand Canyon truly lives up to its reputation as a model of northern landscapes, seamlessly blending grandeur and elegance. Upon entering the scenic area, one is immediately awestruck by the imposing presence of its thousand-meter-high cliffs. The Zhangshiyan landform unfolds like a natural screen, its sheer rock walls bearing witness to millions of years of geological changes.
The most stunning aspect is the diversity of scenery that changes with every step: Peach Blossom Valley features a babbling brook that meanders through the red cliffs, creating a verdant gallery; Wangxiangyan's steep steps climb the cliff face, offering both thrilling adventure and breathtaking panoramic views; the Taihang Sky Road winds like a dragon, with each turn revealing a new viewing platform. When shrouded in mist, the mountains appear and disappear, resembling a long ink painting.
Autumn is the recommended season to visit, when the canyon is ablaze with color. The scenic area boasts excellent facilities and a well-designed loop route, but some sections are quite steep, so be sure to bring appropriate hiking gear. Here, the power of nature and human ingenuity blend perfectly, and a day trip can allow you to appreciate the essence of Taihang Mountain, making it an excellent choice for a short mountain and water tour.
The Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area comprises three sections: Peach Blossom Valley, Wangxiangyan, and Taihang Sky Road. Peach Blossom Valley is particularly outstanding, with its stunning canyon scenery comprised of streams, waterfalls, and boardwalks. Taihang Sky Road offers a scenic drive via shuttle bus, but the views from the several viewing platforms are only average. Wangxiangyan has no shuttle bus service; the entire route is on foot, clockwise. The first and second halves are unremarkable, with only the middle section, Wangxiang Waterfall, truly worth seeing! The Sky Ladder is definitely worth climbing!

The scenery is nice and the bus is very convenient, good reviews! But the consumption level in the scenic area is a bit high, especially in some farmhouse restaurants, where two people can eat more than 100 yuan, while other places in the mountains only cost dozens of yuan.
The tour is very nice and I visited many temple which is very peaceful. The guide is also polite and helpful.

Jinci Temple is a perfect example of the harmonious integration of natural landscape and man-made architecture. Relying on the water systems of Nanlao Spring and Zhibo Canal, it forms a beautiful landscape of "small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and towers."
Transportation and Parking: Buses (such as routes 308 and 804) from downtown Taiyuan provide direct access to the entrance of Jinci Park, which is very convenient. Parking is also large and convenient.
Tour Route: It is recommended to start from the central axis, visiting the following sections in order: Water Mirror Terrace -> Golden Man Terrace -> Duiyue Archway -> Offering Hall -> Fish Pond Flying Bridge -> Holy Mother Hall (the core area), and then visit the Zhou Cypress, Nanlao Spring, Tang Stele Pavilion, etc. on both sides.
My first visit to Taiyuan, and my first stop was the Jinci Museum – it was amazing!
The Holy Mother Hall: Top-tier Northern Song Dynasty architecture! The 42 painted clay maiden statues have incredible expressions, and the 8 dragon-carved pillars have a built-in 3D effect (there's even a dragon!). Fish Pond Flying Bridge: China's earliest overpass! Offering Hall: A Jin Dynasty pure wood pavilion plus, built without a single nail yet withstanding 800 years of wind and rain.
Song Dynasty Painted Clay Sculptures: The Holy Mother Hall's star team! Each maiden has a unique expression, and their clothing and postures are all different. Zhou Bai: A 3000-year-old reclining war god! Nanlao Spring: "Jade Water" certified by Li Bai! You can even drink the water from the dragon-shaped stone mouth at the spring's source!

Last week, I hiked Baishi Mountain with friends. Both entrance parking lots were ample, and the 265 yuan fee included the entrance fee and a round-trip cable car ride. The scenic route is quite flexible, with round-trip tours available from the east and west gates, as well as one-way tours. The only downside is that you'll need to take a 30 yuan bus back to the parking lot after descending the mountain. Besides, the scenery is fantastic for relaxing in autumn! The fading colors of the forest are incredibly soothing, and the key is being able to immerse yourself in the scenery without the crowds. As a World Geopark, the carved marble peaks are truly breathtaking, and walking on the suspended plank road feels like walking on clouds. Excellent!
There are three types of tickets for Baishishan Scenic Area, and my family and I happened to use all three. The first type: from 11pm to 12am, it is full of young people queuing up to watch the sunrise at night. The second type: from 3am to 5am, those who do not climb the mountain can take the cable car to the mountain to watch the sunrise. The third type: after 7am, you can go up the mountain to play normally. I still highly recommend going to Baishishan. It is not so crowded during the National Day holiday, and it is suitable for people of all ages. There are all kinds of exciting projects suitable for young people to play, which will make your adrenaline soar. I really recommend it (＾ω＾)👍🏻

The scenery is picturesque, and the air is exceptionally fresh! A great weekend getaway for families, it's not far from downtown Taiyuan. From the GreenTree Inn near the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, drive south along Jinci Road for 40 minutes. It's incredibly convenient. Bring some snacks if you want to fully explore the area, but there's hot water, instant noodles, and a restaurant at the top. It's fantastic!
I took a taxi to Tianlongshan Grottoes in a hurry, but was stopped 3 kilometers away from the scenic area. I was told that the scenic area was closed due to freezing. I had to go to Longshan Grottoes instead. To my surprise, there was almost no one there. It was really the quietest place to check in during the Spring Festival.

Online ticket booking is convenient and offers a 5 yuan discount. However, for a tourist attraction, 90 yuan is still quite expensive, especially considering it only features one geological feature. I met a very kind person on my trip to Bolanggu. If you're planning to go to Bolanggu, you can call the long-distance bus station to inquire about shuttle buses. The customer service representative will give you the phone number of the person in charge. The fare from the county town to Bolanggu Scenic Area is 20 yuan. I contacted this person in charge a day in advance. The next day, the bus broke down and couldn't run. The driver didn't call me either, and I waited a long time without getting a ride. I then called this person in charge, explaining that I hadn't received a call from the driver. After understanding the situation, this person in charge decided to take me to the scenic area in their own car. They waited for me for 3 hours at the entrance and then took me back to the county town. I'm very grateful to this person in charge of the shuttle bus for making my trip to Bolanggu possible. If you're planning to go to Bolanggu, you can follow the Jingbian Travel mini-program.
Most of my trip to Shaanxi was spent in overcast and rainy weather. After checking the weather forecast, I was fortunate to find a sunny day, so I adjusted my itinerary to visit Wave Valley. The scenery at Wave Valley was beautiful, and the leisurely pace of exploring the large loop was very enjoyable. Booking tickets through Ctrip was convenient, and I will definitely use it again next time.

Easy to use, just scan the code, the ice cave is nice, it should be developed more, I didn't see enough, the price is a bit high, the service is good, there are free coats, helmets, glasses cleaners, and ginger soup.
The scenery is beautiful and the activities are fun. The scenery after the rain is amazing, even thicker than the clouds on Mount Huashan. The glass bridge is very high and exciting, it made me dizzy, hahaha. The ice cave is beautiful, formed 3 million years ago, it's spectacular and eye-opening.

The scenery is beautiful and worth seeing. The mountains and rivers are clear and the waves are rippling. There are various different landforms such as high mountains, canyons, cliffs and steep cliffs. Experience the beauty of the mountains and rivers and the vastness of the motherland.
Tongtian Gorge is generally nice. The walk isn't tiring, and you can see the monkeys and even feed them secretly. The cable car and the Qianchi Shallows boat tour are very cost-effective. The accommodations in Hongni Village are also acceptable, but the food in the village is terrible! There's a place that specializes in clay pot goose and clay pot pork ribs, but the portions are terrible. The stir-fried pork with radish has almost no meat!

The Wuzhishan Scenic Area in Taihang Mountains is a place well worth visiting. The several viewing platforms offer expansive views and captivating scenery. It is rich in Journey to the West cultural connotations, and the scenic area's cable car is quick and convenient, while the boardwalks are well-designed and easy to use for sightseeing.
It was my first time going there. I went there with my children and family. The children had a lot of fun. They played from afternoon to night. The Sky Grassland Night Club was very lively and the atmosphere was very good. It is a good place worth recommending. I will go there again when I have time.
