It was quite shocking! I think it was the most fun attraction I visited in Luoyang. I went to all the built-in attractions! Very nice! If I have the chance to come again next time, I will consider asking for an explanation. It may be a different experience.

This route felt quite good, not very tiring. I climbed all the peaks, though I couldn't tell which peaks were east, west, south, or north. There was only one steep path leading up, which confirmed the old saying that Mount Huashan has only one path, one way up, never down. I was thankful the weather was clear that day, otherwise my legs would have been shaky. The only downside was the fog and rain that day, making it difficult to see clearly. The expensive cable car view didn't capture the grandeur of Mount Huashan.
Huashan: Up from the ground and on the Luohe Plain, known as the "first mountain in the world" reputation. Its mountain is majestic, the peaks are protruding, and the four walls are steep, like a knife and ax, the long-air plank road, the dumplings turn over and other dangerous roads are amazing, and you can't stop. The five main peaks are magnificent and fascinating.

Tickets are easy to purchase; simply scan your ID or QR code to enter the scenic area. The Hukou Waterfall scenic area in Shanxi is quite large, and the scenery is stunning. This time, it rained, and the Yellow River flowed heavily, making the waterfall truly breathtaking. It's truly worth seeing. The scenic area has plenty of shuttle buses, and there are also plenty of parking spaces nearby. Small cars cost 10 yuan per trip.
It is a worthwhile attraction. It is very shocking to see the Yellow River. The Hukou Waterfall in Shanxi is more impressive than the one in Shaanxi. It is more intuitive to see it in person than on TV.

Stepping into a painting, you'll dream back a thousand years.
The scenery is beautiful, perfect for taking period photos.
There are many NPCs, offering small quests.
The park occasionally hosts performances.
It can be quite hot during the day, so visiting at night is a good idea.
One ticket is valid for three days, allowing for free entry and exit. It's child-friendly and has two playgrounds.
The Tokyo Dream Hua performances are impressive, a living rendition of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
The stage effects are beautiful, but the content is a bit lackluster, resembling a dance show.
Overall, it's worth a visit, and you can stay longer.
I came to Henan and visited cities such as Luoyang, Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, and walked into the world of the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. It was very lively and there were many different performances, which are worth experiencing.

"If you don't visit Jin Temple, your trip to Taiyuan is in vain." So, my family of three decided to check it out! We had a guided tour and learned in depth about the temple's three unique features—Zhou cypresses, Song Dynasty colored sculptures, and the Nanlao Spring—as well as three national treasures: the Xian Hall, the Yunuma Flying Bridge, and the Shengmu Hall. The wisdom of the ancients is truly astonishing!
We also unexpectedly discovered that this was the filming location for the 1986 version of "Journey to the West." So many famous childhood scenes were filmed right here, making this trip completely worthwhile!
The scenic spots are worth visiting❤️very beautiful. It allowed me to get a lot of knowledge about ancient Shanxi architecture in a short time. The three-hour tour guide's explanation was also very good. It is worth it. Otherwise, you won't see anything if you just rush through it! It is worth a visit. There are many famous scenes in the same style as Journey to the West.

You can take the first cable car up and down, and walk up and down for other places. It happened to be a rainy day when I went there. The fog was clear and the air was fairy-like. It felt like entering a fairyland with excellent scenery. It is said that there are different scenery in each season. I will go and experience it again if I have the chance!
Laojun Mountain is known as "the world's most sacred mountain, the most sacred mountain in the world." [1] It is located 3,000 meters southeast of Luanchuan County, Luoyang, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. It is the main peak of the 800-li Funiu Mountain, a remnant of the Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of 2,200 meters. Originally named Jingshi Mountain, it has a cultural history of more than 2,000 years and is the oldest mountain in Taoism.

During the holiday, my family and I went to Pingyao Ancient City. It was a great experience. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and tasted delicious food. More importantly, the children felt the long history and civilization of China. They learned a lot about both architecture and environment. It is highly recommended!
During our three-hour in-depth tour of Pingyao Ancient City, guided by our guide and electric vehicles, we explored the city's history on foot. Our first stop was the ancient city wall. Climbing the steps, we saw old forts quietly standing on the mottled walls. Our fingertips brushed against the bricks and stone, as if we could touch the traces of time. From the vantage point, we could see the entire ancient city's blue bricks and gray tiles, a breathtaking sight from the outset.
After descending the city wall, the Pingyao County Yamen became the most detailed exploration of our trip. The "55-open courtyard," as the guide described it, was particularly eye-catching—it was originally designed to meet the standards of a provincial government, far exceeding the specifications of an ordinary county yamen. The distinct layers of the courtyard unfolded before us, showcasing the rigorous office buildings of the three provinces, the casual living quarters, and the elegant gardens. The most vivid moment was the county magistrate's court performance. A few humorous lines as he interrogated the robbers instantly broke the solemnity of the ancient yamen, bringing the historical scenes to life.
The rest of the journey was a leisurely pace. The rich aroma of vinegar lingered in the vinegar brewery; at the First Silver Shop, I glimpsed the prosperity of a former financial center; and within the ruins of the escort agency, I imagined the stories of the escorts' journeys across the country. Finally, I stopped by the City God Temple, where two crape myrtles in full bloom added an unexpected touch of color to my journey.
If I were to rate this trip, a 7.5 would be exactly what I wanted. The satisfaction was clear: adequate staff at each checkpoint provided smooth guidance; the bluestone pavement meandered through the air, creating a rhythmic, retro feel; and taking home a portion of Pingyao beef as a souvenir offered a taste of the ancient city.
Some regrets did exist: the bustling tourist scene diluted the tranquility of the ancient town, giving it a slightly more commercial feel. Shanxi, as a whole, lacks greenery; the few roses in the county government office and the crape myrtles in the City God Temple provided rare bursts of color and comfort during the trip. The most troubling thing was the vinegar from the vinegar workshop, priced at 48 or 58 yuan per bottle. While I've heard the brewing process is exquisite, this "scenic spot price" makes it a bit less cost-effective.
However, no trip is perfect, and this half-day Pingyao tour, with its highlights and regrets, is already satisfying enough. Perhaps this is just how the ancient city is, with its own unique charm and ambiance, welcoming visitors in its most authentic form, without any need for deliberate alteration; it already has its own unique flavor.

The experience was absolutely fantastic. The staff were so friendly. The 80 RMB ticket gave me unlimited entry for three days, and there were so many shows that I couldn't see them all in just one or two days. It was drizzling when we went, but the cast and crew braved the rain to perform. Even during the afternoon's live performance (the Three Strikes on Zhujiazhuang), the rain got heavier, but they still persevered. They're incredibly dedicated! 👍👍👍 Also, the food and drinks in the area are really affordable: water is 1.5 RMB, and drinks are 3-5 RMB. The food is pretty much the same as outside. My only regret was that I didn't get to see the iron flower show in the rain. I'll make up for that next time. I hope you guys continue to do well!!!
It's very fun, very fun, I feel it's ten times more fun than Disney. The price-performance ratio is very high, and the quality is very good at this price. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It is really worth a visit. It is breathtaking, amazing, and I am in awe of the superb skills of the ancients. It is not only amazing but also very touching. I admire Shanxi for protecting this ancient building so well.
Xiaoxitian is worth visiting, it is quite shocking. The whole visit takes nearly 2 hours. The direct bus is quite convenient. The tour guide and driver provide good service, and the car is stable and safe.

I stayed in Linfen and the navigation was wrong. I came to Hukou Waterfall on the Shaanxi side and felt a little dizzy. The scenic area is good overall. The car was parked at the visitor center and the bus was taken to the waterfall. The Shaanxi side is basically parallel to the waterfall and slightly downward.
Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a Chinese wonder worth a once-in-a-lifetime visit. It's recommended to view it from either Shaanxi or Shanxi Province. From the Shaanxi side, traditional buildings are dotted with scattered red flags. Shaanxi offers magnificent views of Hukou, with its cascading rock formations along the shore. Stand by the river and marvel at the cascading, geometric structure of the waterfall.
Ke Zhenliang leaped over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, watched by millions. A sculpture commemorates his impossible feat.
