I took my niece, who just became a university student, on a self-driving tour to Yuntai Mountain
In the dawn, we embarked on a fascinating self-driving journey from Zhengzhou, with our destination being the fascinating Yuntai Mountain. The scenery along the way was picturesque, and the tour route was very well designed, allowing us to fully appreciate the wonders of nature.
At half past seven in the morning, we left Zhengzhou by car, enjoying a delicious breakfast on the road. We arrived at the foot of Yuntai Mountain at nine o'clock, and it is recommended to navigate directly to the shore service area to buy tickets for entry. Remember to carry your ID card with you, as each scenic spot requires an ID card for entry, but if you forget, you can also get a paper ticket on site.
The ticket price is 120 yuan per person, valid for three days. University students can enjoy a half-price discount, but they need to show valid proof, either a student ID or a proof from the student credit network. In addition, the bus fare is 60 yuan per person, which is a necessary expense during the tour. The park bus is considerate and convenient, with direct access to each scenic spot.
Hongshi Gorge was our first stop. We took the bus directly to Hongshi Gorge at half past nine. The whole journey was 2 kilometers, and the beautiful scenery along the way was all in sight. The tour route here is very cleverly designed, like a wonderful journey up and down the mountain, with beautiful scenery everywhere, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. I especially recommend taking photos by the water, the effect is outstanding, and the whole tour process takes about 1.5 hours.
At 10:50, we left Hongshi Gorge and took the bus to Xiaozhaigou, in the direction of Monkey Valley. Watching the wonderful performance at 11:00 in Monkey Valley became our next itinerary. There are two choices here, either hiking up the mountain or choosing the jungle slide, 20 yuan for going up, 40 yuan for going down, and 50 yuan for going up and down. Although the speed of the jungle slide is slow, the experience of going down the mountain is very exciting, and I highly recommend it. The entire tour time in Monkey Valley is about 0.5 hours.
After leaving Monkey Valley, we went to Quanpu Gorge and chose the 10 yuan round-trip electric car at the door, which is time-saving and labor-saving. Along the way, the small waterfall was gurgling, and the scenery became more and more charming all the way to the end, which is Tiantai Tianpu. It is recommended to visit again in the season when the water flow is large, the effect is better. The entire tour time is about 1.5 hours.
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, we had a meal at the door. As we are locals in Henan, we didn't think about eating local specialties, so we chose Dicos and took a short break. If you have plenty of time, you can also continue to visit Tanpuquan.
At half past three, we left Xiaozhaigou and took the bus to Phoenix Ridge Cableway. Although the cableway lasts for ten minutes, the glass plank road is our missed regret. After getting off the cableway, we chose to hike to Zhuyu Peak, a total of 2.5 kilometers. Although we climbed quickly, due to the strong wind, the park staff reminded us at around six o'clock that the cableway was about to close, so we hurried down the mountain. It is recommended that if you are tired from climbing in the morning, you can choose to take the cableway up the mountain from Zhuyu Peak. At twenty past seven, we returned to the visitor center, ready to return to Zhengzhou, and arrived home smoothly at half past eight.
Although there are some scenic spots that we have not been able to visit, the overall feeling is very good. The beauty and grandeur of Yuntai Mountain left a deep impression on us. We hope that our tour route can provide some small references for everyone, and wish everyone a happy time in Yuntai Mountain!
Parents are free of tickets, but they need to buy tickets, because the scenic spot is too big, you have to take a long bus, and you can use three days, bundle your ID card, and then you can brush your face to enter, which is more convenient. The entire Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area is relatively scattered. On the first day, I went to Xiaojiuzhai and Hongshixia. On the second day, I went to the peak and Fenghuangling, and I could end the trip. The landscape here is still pretty good-looking.
Yuntai Mountain has mountains and waters, and there are various geology. It is worth playing once. Yesterday, I went to play Xiaojiuzhai. The farthest Quanpu Gorge takes about three hours to go all the way. The Gaode map only shows that there is one more point at a time. It is actually a straight line distance, and then I went to Tanpu Gorge. The scenery is not as good as the Spring Waterfall Gorge, and the macaque island did not go, which feels a bit of a waste of time. The scenic spot is too big to go without buying a ticket.
The best scenery of Yuntai Mountain is Hongshixia, Zifang Lake and Xiaozhaigou. If you are a day trip, you can play all three attractions. You can have lunch in Xiaozhaigou at noon. It is very convenient to have Dix and KFC. You can buy it while walking. It is rare to have KFC in the scenic spot.
In fact, Yuntai Mountain is generally divided into three scenic spots, one is Hongshixia Zifang Lake, one is Fengfeng Phoenix Mountain, and the other is Xiaozhaigou. Xiaozhaigou is also divided into Tanpuxia Spring Waterfall Gorge Monkey Valley. Personally recommend the canyon with Yuntai Tianpu Waterfall, the scenery is very good. I hope the staff's service will keep up to deserve such a good view
When you come to Henan, Yuntai Mountain is the most worth checking in. The scenery of Yuntai Mountain has its own beauty all year round. The flowers are full of mountains and wild in spring. In summer, you can come to play in the water to escape the heat. In autumn, the red leaves are like colorful clouds. In winter, there is an ice and snow festival. It is like entering a fairy tale world. And the service attitude is very good, it is worth seeing!
I heard that Yuntai Mountain has its own characteristics in the four seasons. Our biggest surprise is the ice waterfall of Quanpu Gorge. The flowing water is frozen and fixed. I can only sigh the ghostly work of nature. Unfortunately, Yuntai Tianpu has been blocked due to ice. I look forward to enjoying it in summer. It must be another scene.
A friend recommended attractions. A worthwhile trip. The scenery is beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, there is the movement of macaque peacocks, the restoration of Qingquan Waterfall, and the shock of Hongshi Gorge! The reason for the strength and time of the elderly, there are many attractions that have not been visited, although some regrets, but also left an expectation for the next tour!
The scenery is pleasant, one step at a time; the service facilities are humanized, and there are many traffic stations, and you can transfer up and down at any time. You can buy a ticket for up to three days at a time. It is not too fast or slow to visit all the attractions according to the tourist route. If the cable car fare can be discounted a little, it would be fine!
