Now the country is in a peaceful period of vigorously developing the economy, and Taihang Mountain is still generous. Where the mountain is located, it has dedicated one beautiful scenic spot after another to the local area, and has become a pillar industry to promote the local economic development and lead the local people to become rich and well-off.
Today, I would like to introduce Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area, which is located in Qixian Town, Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province. Yuntai Mountain is very famous in China, so it is no exaggeration to describe it as a household name.
Yuntai Mountain is one of the first geoparks in the world, and the first batch was rated as one of the tourist attractions of 5A-level scenic spots in China.
Yuntai Mountain, relying on the beautiful natural scenery of South Taihang, through reasonable planning and development, relying on high-quality management, has long formed a good reputation at home and abroad and won unanimous praise from tourists. It is one of the must-see spots for foreign tourists to come to Henan.
Yuntai Mountain has mature management, complete facilities, good tourist experience and low complaint rate, which is a good thing for tourists.
We went to Yuntai Mountain during the National Day last year, which was the peak of tourist season. The daily number of tourists in the scenic spot exceeds 60,000. Although the scenic spot is very crowded, especially when going to Hongshixia, the queue time is very long, but I have to say that the management and service of Yuntai Mountain are really in place. Facing tens of thousands of people, the traffic in Yuntai Mountain can be said to be perfect, and the huge passenger flow can be evacuated and diverted to other scenic spots in a short time.
Speaking of the supporting facilities of Yuntai Mountain, in addition to public facilities such as public toilets, roads and signboards, there are bus transfer stations at intervals from the tourist center in the scenic spot, which are small markets, where shopping and accommodation are convenient and the prices are relatively reasonable. As long as people are in the scenic spot, they can get on the bus and go to any scenic spot at any time, which is really convenient. There are five service areas from outside to inside: Wujiatai, Gudong Kiln, Heishiling, Shore and Ovary. The five service areas were originally five villages. Later, the scenic spots were unified and transformed into service places convenient for tourists to eat, live and buy. Friends who want to stay in Yuntai Mountain can choose to stay in any of the above five service areas. Among them, the best location, the most complete facilities and the most lively is the onshore service area. Many guidebooks recommend onshore service areas.
The scenic spots in Yuntai Mountain are Baijiayan, Hongshi Gorge, Wanshan Temple, Zifang Lake, Macaque Valley, Quanwaterfall Gorge, Tanwaterfall Gorge, Diecai Cave and Cornus Peak from outside to inside. It will take at least 2 days to complete the transfer of all these scenic spots.
Tickets for Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area are valid for 3 days, but each scenic area can only enter once during the validity period. If you go, you'd better stagger the peak hours of holidays, otherwise the situation that that person queues too much will really make you collapse.
The beauty of Yuntai Mountain is the first to promote Hongshi Gorge. This is the essence of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area, which is a must-see spot for every tourist who comes to Yuntai Mountain, and it is also a widely publicized scenic spot picture on the publicity page.
Different from other scenic canyons, Hongshi Gorge is located at the foot of tourist highway. To go to Hongshixia scenic spot, you need to go to the opposite mountain through a bridge built in the middle of the canyon. Looking up and down from the bridge, the entrance of Hongshixia is actually a "one-line sky" formed by a mountain split in two by the river.
After crossing the bridge, it spirals down along the opposite ridge, then crosses the plank road built halfway up the mountain, passes through an artificially carved cave, and then passes through the cliff gap on the cliff to enter the bottom of the valley.
The whole cliff of Hongshixia is crimson, and the stream at the bottom of the valley is gurgling and running. Tourists meander through the cliff on one side of the sky, and the valley is long. The mountain was washed and cut into various shapes by adult flow. During the passage, it is beautiful to change the scenery. It is the first scene of Yuntai Mountain.
The northern end of Hongshixia is where the Ovary Lake is located. Ovary is Sean who helped Liu Bang, the founding emperor of Han Dynasty, achieve great things. Legend has it that Sean was trained here and then lived in seclusion here. Later generations named this place "Ovary Village" after Sean. Later, a reservoir was built here to stop the river, and naturally it was named Ovary Lake.
It is said that the day we went was 65438+10.5, and we arrived temporarily from Sanmenxia Shanzhou pit field that morning. Because I didn't do the raiders in advance, I didn't know anything. As soon as we arrived at the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot, many girls asked if they wanted to stay in the car. The admission fee is the same, but we can drive around the road directly, which saves the parking fee. So, the car didn't stop, so we followed her to a farmhouse in the mountains. It turns out that this is the Wujiatai service area closest to the gate.
After settling down, we took the scenic bus to the service area on the shore, because we can buy tickets to the mountain here. After buying the tickets, we went straight to the most famous Hongshixia. Who knows, when I arrived at the scene, I saw the people in the queue jostling shoulder to shoulder and a sea of people, which can really be described as packed. We waited in line for a while and then decided to quit and go to the innermost spring waterfall gorge first. It turned out that my decision was very correct. Although there are many people inside, there is no need to queue. When we bypassed the Spring Waterfall Gorge and returned to Hongshi Gorge, there were already a lot fewer people. Although it was still crowded, at least we passed the ticket barrier quickly.
Spring waterfall gorge, pool waterfall gorge and macaque valley are in the same direction, which is called Xiaozhaigou Scenic Area. Tickets are also required to enter the scenic spot here, and Yuntai Mountain Scenic Spot also stipulates that these three scenic spots must be visited once. Because these three scenic spots have ticket gates, they are divided into three branches. If they are all transferred, you must visit them once. Otherwise, once they go out and come back, the tickets here will be invalid. Due to time constraints, we only went to the innermost spring waterfall gorge.
To tell the truth, I have been to many places for the scenery of Taihang Mountain. In fact, most of them are similar, all in the same style. The biggest difference is often in water, some water is big and some water is small. When the water is big, the ditch is deep and the valley is quiet.
It was getting late when we came out from Hongshixia via the Ovary Lake, so we drove back to the inn. The next day, I visited another famous scenic spot, Cornu Peak. On the way to Cornus Peak, I passed the famous Diecai Cave, but unfortunately I can only watch it in the car.
There are two scenic spots to visit in Yuntai Mountain, one is Hongshixia and the other is this cornucopia peak.
Cornus officinalis peak, commonly known as Xiaobeiding, is1.308m above sea level. At the top of the mountain, there is Zhenwu Temple, which was built in danger and is spectacular. There are two ways to climb Mount Connors. One is that there is a hiking trail to climb from Wanshan Temple. The other is that we walked this time and took the scenic bus to the cornus Peak parking lot.
"A stranger in a foreign land misses his family on holidays. I know from a distance where my brother climbed, and there is one person missing from the dogwood. " The famous poet Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty's "Mountain Residence and Holiday Thinking of Shandong Brothers" is a masterpiece written by the poet here.
Cornus officinalis peak is the highest place in Yuntai Mountain, and there is a breathtaking glass plank road around the mountain. When we went, the cable car leading to Fenghuangling had just been built and had not yet been put into operation. If you go again now, there is another cable car to choose from.
To sum up, our trip to Yuntai Mountain lasted for one and a half days, and we also went to three scenic spots: Spring Waterfall Gorge, Hongshi Gorge and Cornus officinalis Peak. Among them, Tanzhe Gorge and Macaque Valley in Xiaotangou did not go, Wanshan Temple did not go, and Baijiayan near Shanmen Square did not go. In terms of scenery, Hongshi Gorge in Yuntai Mountain is actually worth visiting, but because there are too many tourists here, the experience will be greatly reduced. If you can choose to enjoy and experience when you are alone, that is the real travel.
Yuntai Mountain, if you have never been here, is still worth a visit.
