For lazy people, the 4-hour express cable car ride with two sections is a great experience. The only downside is the steep and slightly scary climb to the Golden Summit. The entire route was shrouded in gray, but after rounding a bend, the sky cleared instantly, revealing a beautiful blue sky and Golden Summit. There were convenient food stalls like KFC and "Overlord Tea" on the mountain.
A group of four drove up Laojun Mountain and parked at the Yunjing Cableway parking lot. We entered the visitor center at 12:30 PM. Having purchased our tickets online in advance, we quickly boarded the cableway, making our ascent to the summit and enjoying the stunning scenery. Details are as follows:
Itinerary
- Ascent: First, take the Yunjing Cableway (approximately 10 minutes) directly to Zhongtianmen. Then, transfer to the Fenglin Cableway (approximately 5 minutes) to the entrance of the Ten-Li Painting Screen. Walk through the Fairyland Tunnel and along a section of the Ten-Li Painting Screen (a typical walk of about an hour), enjoying the scenic views along the way. Climb to the Golden Temple. Only bring water and chocolate with you on the mountain. Wear windproof clothing or a down jacket.
- Descent: At 6:15 PM, after taking photos at the Golden Summit, we quickly descended the same way we came. First, take the second-level cableway (Fenglin Cableway), waiting in line for about 20 minutes. Then, take the first-level cableway (Yunjing Cableway), where the line was shorter.

No spontaneous trip, just repeated plans. You watched the Shaolin martial arts performance, and I admired the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees. It felt so good to receive support. Arrived early at 10 am, no mountain climbing, no cable car, just a slow, leisurely stroll, stopping and going, eating and taking photos along the way. The 1500-year-old ginkgo trees could be photographed for over an hour. The red leaves at the summit are for those with stronger stamina to show off their skills!
Cute Jing was also very helpful, today you're the leaf-scattering prop master! [relaxed][relaxed] Unexpectedly high-energy sand play next to the Pagoda Forest, exceeding KPI! [666][666] The only downside: Commercialization and rip-offs abound →→ 100 yuan for a photo with the little monk? Or is it just a phone photo? [weak][weak] A bowl of noodles at a snack shop costs 25 yuan, a blatant rip-off? No hot water if you don't buy food? [weak][weak]
Amazing place! Reserve a full day and enjoy everything without rush!

The ruins park is worth a visit. It was recommended by a colleague and it was worth the trip. The underground exhibition hall and the exhibition hall are quite far apart. You can take the free shuttle bus within the park, but it is quite rare and you have to wait.
Such a great site! Almost no one there. Note that this ticket is a QR code, not tied to your passport. Don't stop at the entrance booth, just go straight to the underground museum section and they'll scan the QR code.

The scenic area is very clean, the toilets have toilet paper, the service staff are very enthusiastic, there are not too many tourists, the scenery is very good, people with poor legs and feet can also go, there are buses, cable cars, slides, and not many steps to climb
The weather wasn't kind. After traveling over a thousand kilometers, I encountered a rainy day. The dense fog limited the view, which was quite a disappointment, but it also had a unique charm. The thick fog made the mountain scenery even more ethereal and mysterious. With so few tourists, it felt like exploring a fairyland. Besides the autumnal mountain scenery, the ancient architecture was also a highlight. The caisson murals on the eaves of the Yangtai Palace are unique in Henan Province. Even the Nantianmen and Ying'en Palace are worth seeing as ancient architectural masterpieces. Although it was the National Day holiday, there were no waiting times for the sightseeing buses and cable cars, and the other painless mountain climbing facilities were also sparsely populated. The experience was excellent.

The forest coverage rate in Shaohua Mountain Scenic Area is super high. Take the Jingjiao car to Shimenxia, enter the hiking route, shuttle among the dense woods, listen to birds singing, watch squirrels jump, and luckily find some rare plants. This feeling of being close to nature is great.
Shaohua Mountain Icefall | A dreamlike wonder limited to winter✨
My dears, I am really speechless by the beauty of Shaohua Mountain's icefall!
Walking into the scenic area, it seems like stepping into a world of ice and snow. From a distance, the icefall is like a huge white curtain, vertically falling from the mountains, shining charmingly under the sunlight.
As you get closer, you can see that the ice layer presents a wonderful texture, some like fish scales, some like feathers, and the uncanny craftsmanship of nature is amazing. The surrounding branches are wrapped in ice, like crystal carvings. When the wind blows, it makes a crisp sound, like a piece of music played in fairyland.
Standing under the icefall, the shock hits the soul directly. Its beauty cannot be fully described in words. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you truly experience it. This winter, you must come to Shaohua Mountain for a date with the icefall. Believe me, you will be deeply impressed by its beauty!

This ancient city is worth a visit. It is the hometown of Tai Chi and has a history of more than 2,000 years. These attractions are all worth seeing. The combined ticket is very cost-effective and highly recommended!
The planning is so good now. I haven't been there in years, and I was completely blown away!
The facilities are much better, the activities are more interesting, and the environment is very clean. There are also many unique restaurants and places that young people like. It's quite good.

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 Linzhou Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area boasts stunning scenery, with its majestic and precipitous cliffs contrasting beautifully with the winding streams, making it a natural oxygen bar and a photographer's paradise. However, the scenic area is vast, and hiking is extremely strenuous.
A shuttle bus service is essential. Frequent service and convenient transfers effectively connect the main attractions, significantly saving energy and time. The drivers are skilled and friendly, making them invaluable assistants for an efficient tour.

Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area in Jiaozuo, Henan Province, boasts beautiful scenery and three main attractions. We spent a day and a half visiting Hongshixia, Xiaozhaigou, and Zhuyu Peak. To save time and energy when visiting Zhuyu Peak, we chose to take the Zhuyu Peak cable car up the mountain, then walked 2.8 kilometers to the Phoenix Peak Glass Skywalk, took the Phoenix Ridge cable car down the mountain, and stayed at the service area on the shore.
The three-day validity of the Yuntai Mountain ticket is definitely worthwhile. The mountains and waters here are beautiful, and staying at the service area makes it convenient to take the scenic shuttle bus, perfect for a leisurely visit. There are also many restaurants in the service area along the shore for convenience.

Visiting Jinci Scenic Area in late September or early October is highly recommended. The outer area is free, but you need to buy a museum ticket. Inside, there are ancient locust trees of various ages, ranging from hundreds to three thousand years old. The green trees and streams create a pleasant atmosphere, and the temperature is pleasant. Listening to the guide's explanation of the ancient architecture makes it a worthwhile experience.
Jinci Temple made my trip worthwhile. Although it was a little regrettable that the weather was overcast and I didn't see the sun, it did not affect the charming autumn scenery of Jinci Temple at all. Both the cultural history and the natural scenery were captivating.

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.
