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!
It was amazing and interesting place, fit for hiking, walking and enjoying natural environment. I love this place and always go there.
Hongshixia is an attraction in the famous scenic spot Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area in Xiuwu. I personally feel that Hongshixia is the most unremitting scenic spot in the scenic spot. Even if you are tired, you must go to finish it, but in order to avoid too many people, you can choose to go early in the morning.
Enter the gate of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area and take the scenic sightseeing bus. The first point of visit is the Hongshixia Scenic Area, which is also the essence of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. Hongshixia, as the name implies, is a canyon made of red stones. Arrive at the entrance of the canyon, walk along the plank road in the canyon, and the red mountain stones come.
The Redstone Gorge under the clear sky is more beautiful than expected

After years of publicity, Yuntai Mountain has formed a large-scale and well-known tourist attraction, and the plan occupies the top position of Henan's landscape.

It gathers the majestic, dangerous, strange peaks and stones of the north and south high mountains. It is a natural landscape boutique gallery.
