Depart from Zhengzhou at 7 o'clock in the morning and arrive at Yuntai Mountain ticket office around 9 o'clock. Admission 120+60 yuan transportation, total price *** 180 yuan.
At 9: 25, we arrived at Hongshixia, the first core scenic spot in Yuntai Mountain, and our trip started from Hongshixia.
Hongshixia, also known as Wenpanyu, is 68 meters underground. It is a beautiful, quiet, heroic and steep place, known as the "bonsai canyon". The temperature here is kept at more than ten degrees all the year round, which is really warm in winter and cool in summer. Hongshixia is a one-way street with no turning back. Hongshixia is 2000 meters long and the tour time is 80 minutes.
The red stone in Hongshixia attracts many people to take photos here. Ruby is formed because it contains iron ions, which are oxidized to form ruby.
After coming out of Hongshixia, we will pass through the Ovary Lake, which was named after Sean's seclusion in the Han Dynasty. The total length of the lake is 4000 meters, and the deepest part is about 65 meters. In June, 2002, the peach blossom jellyfish was first discovered in the lake, and it was known as the "giant panda in the water". Peach blossom jellyfish was first born 650 million years ago, and it was named after its shape is similar to peach blossom petals.
After walking through the Ovary Lake, Hongshixia Scenic Area ends here. Go up the steps to the bus stop, return to the shore service area for dinner, and go to Xiaozhaigou scenic spot in the afternoon.
From the shore service area to Xiaozhaigou Scenic Area, it takes 25 minutes by car.
Also known as Xiaozhaigou, it is called "Jiuzhaigou" in the north. There are three steps and one spring, five steps and one waterfall, and ten steps and one pool here, just like Jiangnan, so people nicknamed it Tanpujiang. There are small landscapes such as the fountain of youth, slimming stone, artistry waterfall and sword-testing stone in Tanzhe Gorge.
The total length of Tanpu Gorge is 2000 meters, and the tour time is about 80 minutes. It's a U-shaped road and finally returns to the starting point.
Also known as Laotangou, the most famous scenic spot is Yuntai Waterfall, with a drop of 314m, which is the largest waterfall in Asia. But in recent years, the relationship with Shanxi is not good, and the upstream is cut off from water. At present, the amount of water in Yuntai Pu Tian is very small, which leads to fewer and fewer tourists going to Quanpu Gorge.
The spring waterfall gorge is 3 kilometers long and the tour time is 2.5 hours. Go back the way you came.
This is where the Taihang macaques are. You will see many monkeys here. The monkeys in Taihang Mountain are different from those in other places. They are good-looking and good at rock climbing. There is a macaque performance on the hour, which is free to watch.
The tour time of Monkey Valley is 40 minutes, and the monkey show is one hour.
You can stay in the service area on the shore at night. There are many farmers in the service area on the shore, who can eat, live and play.
