Wangwu Mountain, the first of the ten great Taoist caves, is also known as "Xiaoyou Qingxu Heaven" and one of the nine famous mountains in ancient China. The scenery of Wangwu Mountain is majestic and quiet, and Taoist relics are scattered all over the mountain. There are many legends such as the Yellow Emperor ascending the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the sky. The main peak, Temple of Heaven, is more than 1,800 meters above sea level. Climbing to the top, you can see all the mountains. The General Fairy Palace is built on it, which is like a palace in heaven, with a fairy-like atmosphere.
You need to take a sightseeing bus to go up the mountain. Friends who are not physically fit are recommended to take the ropeway back and forth. This season is just right to play, it is not too hot, and the old street at the foot of the mountain is very lively at night. It's a pity that I didn't see any monkeys, hahahaha

The main gate is quite far from the entrance. The main gate should be the Songshan Scenic Area. With the arrival of the new abbot of Shaolin Temple Suizhou, most of the commercial things have been removed. It is quiet and nice.

If you drive there, the parking fee is 10 yuan. You can purchase a sightseeing bus to and from the ice cave for 5 yuan each way. You can also walk up. The lower part of the ice cave is a staircase, with a single route in and out. The ice cave has a variety of lighting. It's best to wear warm clothing; if you don't have any, there are rentals available in the parking lot.
The scenic area is currently undergoing a short road renovation. After checking your ticket, you'll board a tour bus to the foot of the Hanging Village. Looking up at the village, it seems quite high, but it's actually quite easy to climb. There's a stall selling roasted corn and sweet potatoes up there, which are delicious and fragrant. A cool breeze, gurgling water, and flowers strewn across the grounds are a delightful experience!

This is a famous historical and cultural town in China, the birthplace of both the Yang and Wu families of Tai Chi. Surrounded by a 100-meter-wide moat, it boasts a pleasant ecological environment and beautiful scenery, making it a must-see. Don't miss the cheap combined ticket. Hongji Bridge is a bit far from the Guangfu Ancient City, so you can take a shuttle bus to get there.
The historical sites are well-preserved, but you must ask for a guide, otherwise you'll just be wandering around. Taking a private electric car is more convenient, but the distance is a bit far. The entrance fees to several attractions are quite affordable, and you must visit the ancient city wall.

Very satisfied. It's not far from the end of the main street. After getting off the shuttle bus, it's only a few minutes' walk away. It's very clean, the bedding is not damp, and the bathroom doesn't smell at all. The cleaning lady cleans very carefully. There's a convenience store downstairs, and you can eat pollution-free apples. The proprietresses are two very beautiful older sisters. They are very nice. I was really satisfied and stayed there for two days. The scenery of Yuntaishan is very beautiful. The proprietress recommended that if you bring a baby, you must visit Red Stone Man and Quanpu Gorge. The recommendation was very accurate. We also played on the jungle slide in Macaque Valley, and the children were very happy.
Is it worth spending 20 yuan to save 20 minutes of walking up the mountain? Everyone has their own opinion. You missed a little scenery, but you can see another little scenery.

Mount Wutai is so big that you don't have to worry about the route when you join a tour group. Those who travel independently can take the free shuttle bus in the scenic area and play from stop to stop. When you are tired, you can get on the bus, and when you are not tired, you can walk around. It is quite suitable, but there are too many people. September is the off-season and there are not many people, but there are still crowds of people. The reception level in the scenic area is limited, and there are queues in the toilets. The queuing phenomenon in the scenic area is serious, so some people will go there again and again. Below Dailuoding, there is a slow slope when you come down. If people want to rest, there is a very small step on the side with an iron frame next to it to sit on. However, there is no sign on the step and the bricks on the ground are gray, which is particularly difficult to distinguish. I sat there for less than 20 minutes and three or four people sprained their ankles, but I forgot to take pictures. I hope the scenic area will consider being more humane when designing the rest platform.
I bought my Mount Wutai ticket and the Wuye Bodhisattva Body-Expanding Talisman on Ctrip. On the bus to Mount Wutai, the driver told me my Ctrip ticket might not work. I was apprehensive. Could Ctrip be so unreliable? Then I figured I could just buy new tickets at the customer service center. I was immediately able to enter after swiping my ID at the entrance gate. What a relief! Ctrip is trustworthy!

It is worth a visit. Walking from Jinci Park all the way to the museum, the scenery is unique. Walking into Jinci gives you a shocking feeling that is beyond words. The wisdom of the ancients with thousands of years of culture is unobstructed.
As the crown jewel of Shanxi's cultural tourism, the Jin Temple Museum, with its 3,000-year history, world-class architecture, and immersive cultural experiences, has become a must-visit destination for domestic and international tourists seeking a deeper understanding of Chinese civilization. The Jin Temple boasts over 100 buildings from the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, forming a comprehensive collection of ancient architectural art. Among these, its "Three Treasures" (the Hall of the Holy Mother, the Fish Pond Flying Bridge, and the Hall of Offering) are truly architectural marvels. As "the pinnacle of architectural art, a symphony of nature and humanity, and a hub of cultural heritage," the Jin Temple Museum has become a hallmark of Shanxi's cultural tourism. Whether architecture enthusiasts, historians, families, or photography enthusiasts, everyone can find a unique cultural connection here.

Baoquan Secret Land has beautiful scenery and pleasant views. It is worth the trip to the beautiful Henan. We also welcome friends from all over the country to visit here and experience the beautiful mountains and rivers of Zhuguo.
A 5A-rated scenic spot designated in December 2015, this two-day combined ticket for Grand Canyon and Cliff World offers the most densely populated waterfall complex in the Central Plains. Its unique topography, with pools every five steps and waterfalls every ten steps, creates a picturesque natural water system. Relax with river tracing and bamboo rafting, where you can remove your shoes while enjoying the refreshing waters. Cliff World offers easy access via the Luojia Cableway. Experience the thrill of high-altitude adventures: a glass rooftop and cliff suspension bridge offer panoramic views of the Red Cliffs, a spot featured on the cover of National Geographic.

The Yunqiu Mountain Ice Caves are one of the world's three greatest ice cave wonders, formed during the Quaternary glacial period and boasting a history of over three million years. Entering the caves is like stepping into a crystal fairytale world, a truly breathtaking experience. The scenic area boasts a tranquil and quaint ancient village, and vibrant performances.
It is worthy of being a 5A-level scenic spot, it is very, very beautiful. Shenxianyu, Talpo Ancient Village, and the ice cave group are definitely worth visiting. I think it is the most fun place in Linfen, and the cost-effectiveness is also very high.

The location is very easy to find, the transportation is convenient, the service attitude is very good, it has its own parking lot, the parking location is convenient, the scenery is pleasant, it is definitely worth a visit!
It is worth visiting the Eight Springs Gorge, Black Dragon Pond, and Red Bean Gorge of the Taihang Grand Canyon! There are sacred places on land, sea, and air. You can climb mountains to see the scenery, take a boat to see the scenery, and take a car to see the scenery from the air. It is a 5A scenic spot, worthy of its name. Agree to publish rules
