Who understands the truly breathtaking Longmen Grottoes?
As soon as you enter the scenic area, the emerald waters of the Yi River flow through, verdant mountains on either side face each other, and the grottoes, like a honeycomb, nestle on the cliff face. The magnificent "Longmen Mountain Scenery" instantly unfolds before your eyes, truly worthy of being one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Luoyang.
Entering the grottoes, the Buddha statues are exquisitely carved, their splendor unfading after millennia of age. Guyang Cave, the earliest excavated cave, boasts intricate and intricate decorations. The "Twenty Pieces of Longmen," a collection of inscriptions on Buddhist niches and statues in Wei stele script, is a true gem of calligraphy. Binyang Middle Cave is magnificent and exquisite. Although its relief mural "Emperor and Empress Worshiping Buddha" has been lost overseas, the grandeur of the scene can still be imagined from historical records, a sentiment both lamentable and admirable to the ancient craftsmanship. The Wanfo Caves boast over 15,000 small Buddha statues arranged in neat rows, each with its own unique posture. Though somewhat damaged, the "most beautiful Guanyin" statue at Longmen is still breathtakingly beautiful with its graceful form and intricate carvings. Fengxian Temple is undoubtedly the highlight. The main Buddha, Vairocana, stands 17.14 meters tall, with a benevolent face and compassionate eyes. Radiating sunlight, it feels as if one is meeting the wisdom of millennia. The eight surrounding statues, ranging from pious to majestic, form a breathtaking artistic ensemble.
The scenic area also offers attentive service, with clear signage and detailed explanations. Whether you hire a guide or use the electronic guide, you can gain a deep understanding of the history and culture behind the grottoes. The surrounding facilities are well-equipped, and there are always places to rest and eat when you're tired.
Longmen Grottoes are not only a treasure of art, but also a testament to history. A visit here to experience the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients is truly worthwhile. I highly recommend this experience!
I have wanted to go to Longmen Grottoes for several years and finally realized my wish. The brother who gave the explanation was also very good. The Buddhist shrines with historical charm can definitely shock our hearts. The shock can only be felt by seeing it with your own eyes. It is so heavy.

It was my second time to climb Mount Huashan. The first time I went up from the west to the north, bringing the elderly and children with me. It was drizzling, not too hot, and shrouded in clouds and mist, which was beautiful beyond words. It was a pity that the Changkong Plank Road and Yaozi Fanfan were not open. I wonder if my old arms and legs can still perform as well as they did in the past?
Stone steps, like ladders, lead to a crack in the sky;
The cliffs, like a curtain, reflect the unwavering spirit of the mountains and rivers, which have endured for millennia.
Here, there are no soft veils of cloud, only the proud earth standing tall against the heavens—
Mount Huashan is a long ink painting that splits the fog and bears the light.

As China's second-largest waterfall and the world's largest yellow waterfall, Hukou Waterfall is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, reminiscent of the Yellow River being collected in a single pot. It's well worth a visit!

Laojun Mountain has beautiful scenery, but it's quite high, so I recommend taking the first-level cable car. Otherwise, the climb to the middle of the mountain takes four to five hours, and there's no scenery along the way! There are many steps between the first and second-level cable cars, so it's not recommended for the elderly or young children, as it's physically demanding. However, the scenery along the way is quite good! The section from the Ten-Li Painting Screen to the Golden Summit is a must-see. However, our hike was foggy and rainy, so it was a bit disappointing to enjoy the distant scenery. I'll definitely come back again!
It's definitely worth the trip. My family of four had a fantastic experience visiting Laojun Mountain! It was a refreshing escape from the summer heat. We took the cable car to the summit, then hiked to admire the sea of clouds. The Golden Summit Taoist temple complex was breathtaking and magnificent. The kids were thrilled to try their hand at the cliff walk, and the whole family exclaimed, "This wonderland truly lives up to its reputation!"

It's a must-see attraction, so there are a lot of people. Summer vacation is the peak season. There are still a lot of people at the entrance after 5 o'clock. The road is jammed. I went directly to the opposite side and took the bus. There was a surprise. We were going to see Rumeng Jinyang in the evening. The bus can go directly to the entrance of Jin Temple. There are few people and the bus is fast, which is beyond our expectations.
When you come to Shanxi, you must visit the Jin Temple. The heavy sense of history there cannot be compared with the so-called ancient cities today. Only by coming here can you feel the sedimentation of history and the traces of time.

Pingyao Ancient City's well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty appearance is breathtaking, with majestic city walls and quaint streets. As the birthplace of Shanxi merchants, it boasts a wealth of historical relics, including banknote exchanges and escort agencies, showcasing ancient Chinese finance and market culture. This rich historical heritage makes it a highly recommended visit.
You absolutely have to buy a pass, otherwise what's the point of visiting? Even with a pass, you wouldn't be able to see everything in two days. My favorite part is the Ma Family Courtyard. The county government office is huge, and you can see the prison, something ordinary people couldn't see before. Exit the South Gate before 8 p.m. and wait for the light show.

🎆The lights of Bianliang reflect the starry sky, and the prosperity of Tokyo never fades. Walking in the Qingming Shanghe Park really feels like traveling back to the Song Dynasty. The park is very large and the experience is very immersive. The NPCs and actors are also very dedicated and very immersive. I can't bear to leave here after two days of playing.
Excellent! We went in the afternoon, mainly because it was too hot with the kids. The night view is stunning! So beautiful! Words can't describe it! Many shows were sold out by the time we arrived in the afternoon, but the iron flower show was the best. I saw it twice in the evening and it was so beautiful and breathtaking! That alone was worth the price of admission! The night view is also truly stunning! Although we missed many of the daytime shows, the evening view was also fantastic and well worth it! We went in at 6pm and left at 9:30pm! We also went to the Drum Tower Night Market, where there's a 2 yuan bus that goes directly there! Qingming Shanghe Park is definitely worth a return visit next time! Kaifeng as a city is worth it too! I loved it! The whole family loved it!

The full marks are all for the hanging sculptures in the Main Hall. I followed the Black Mythology all the way here. The previous temples have their own merits, but the shock that Xiaoxitian gives you is not a little bit. Only when you stand in it and look up, can you feel the visual and spiritual impact it brings to you. Friends have seen a lot of pictures, I will post a few to join in the fun😀😀
Xiaoxitian Temple is definitely worth a visit. Since it was the end of summer vacation, the crowds weren't very large. I arrived a little after 7:00 AM and entered around 7:25 AM. Climbing the stairs and crawling through the caves to reach the Main Hall, the morning sunlight reflected beautifully on the hanging sculptures, which was quite stunning. I watched the video explanation beforehand to get a few insights, and I admire the ancient people's creativity and execution. The staff on the side also praised me, saying, "The light is best in the morning. You've made the right choice." Key point: The light is best in the morning!

Wansui Mountain Wuxia City is the most cost-effective in the whole Kaifeng. It is too big and the most sincere scenic spot. The scenic spots inside are rich in layers and have their own characteristics. It is the only place worth visiting in Kaifeng. Qingming Shanghe Park is not as good as this. Wansui Mountain Wuxia City > Qingming Shanghe Park
This was my kids' favorite scenic spot on this trip. They couldn't get enough of it in just three days, and even after leaving for several days, they kept nagging about going back. The scenic area really offers performances of all sizes, and the quality is excellent. The NPCs are very engaging and interactive. It's absolutely worth it, and the ticket price is very affordable. Five-star rating.

It was a very satisfying trip. Master Li was very considerate and attentive in his service. He patiently explained the various attractions along the way. The one-day trip was very compact and reasonable, allowing us to spend a pleasant and fulfilling day.
The Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is located in the Yellow River bed of the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon. To the east of the waterfall lies the Linfen area of Shanxi Province, and to the west lies Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province. The Shaanxi section of Hukou Waterfall is approximately 35 kilometers east of Yichuan County, Yan'an City. Due to the heavy sediment carried by the Yellow River, this waterfall boasts a rare golden color.
As the Yellow River roars through the Qin-Jin Gorge, its width abruptly narrows from over 400 meters to 50 meters, pouring into a 30-meter stone trough. Its shape, resembling a teapot pouring water, earns it the name Hukou Waterfall. Here, the Yellow River is gathered by the canyon, converging into a single stream, roaring down and plunging into a deep pool, creating a magnificent spectacle. Observing from the riverside, one cannot help but be struck by the awe. This spot is hailed as the "national spirit," the "Soul of the Yellow River," and a symbol of the Chinese nation's courageous spirit.
