The Yunqiu Mountain Ice Caves are one of the world&#39;s three greatest ice cave wonders, formed during the Quaternary glacial period and boasting a history of over three million years. Entering the caves is like stepping into a crystal fairytale world, a truly breathtaking experience. The scenic area boasts a tranquil and quaint ancient village, and vibrant performances.

It is worthy of being a 5A-level scenic spot, it is very, very beautiful. Shenxianyu, Talpo Ancient Village, and the ice cave group are definitely worth visiting. I think it is the most fun place in Linfen, and the cost-effectiveness is also very high.

Yunqiu Mountain is truly amazing. It&#39;s incredibly cool up there, and the scenic area is well-mannered and clean. There are plenty of seating and children&#39;s facilities, including swings, so you can rest after a hike. The children can also play on the swings. The scenic area also provides free watermelon, which is very thoughtful and clean. I didn&#39;t see any trash along the way, and the trash cans were spotless. It was a truly wonderful experience. The ice caves are stunning, and the glass bridge is crystal clear, unlike some scenic spots where the glass bridges are murky and dirty. Hang gliding is fun and the fee is reasonable at 60 yuan per person. You must start from the back mountain, take the cable car, then head to Yuhuangding. Then, it&#39;s a long descent to the glass bridge, then the ice caves, then hang gliding, and finally, Talpo Village. The climb from the front mountain is long and arduous, with all the steps and steep slopes. It&#39;s incredibly tiring, and the uphill climb is leg-wrecking. Many people feel so exhausted after walking from the front mountain to the glass bridge that they simply give up and wait for Yuhuangding. Yunqiu Mountain is great, beautiful and fun, I will definitely come again.

Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area is located in Xiangning County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It is located at the intersection of Luliang Mountain and Fenwei Graben. It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a national geological park, a national forest park, and one of the birthplaces of Chinese agricultural civilization. It has a profound historical and cultural heritage and unique natural scenery.

The total area of ​​Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area is about 210 square kilometers, and the main peak, Yuhuangding, is 1,612.7 meters above sea level. The scenic area is dominated by mountain landscapes, integrating natural landscapes and cultural landscapes. It is a comprehensive tourist attraction integrating sightseeing, leisure, vacation, and cultural experience.

Yunqiu Mountain has peaks and beautiful scenery. It has rich natural landscapes such as high mountains, dangerous peaks, strange rocks, waterfalls, trenches, clear springs, and sea of ​​clouds. The scenic area has a high vegetation coverage rate and rich animal and plant resources. It is a natural ecological oxygen bar. The sea of ​​clouds in Yunqiu Mountain is particularly spectacular. In the early morning or after rain, the clouds and mist linger in the mountains, like a dream.

Yunqiu Mountain is a holy place where Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are integrated. There are many ancient buildings in the mountain, such as the Confucian Yunqiu Academy, the Buddhist Duobao Lingyan Temple and many Taoist temples. Among them, the Five Dragon Palace, Yulian Cave, Hanging Temple and other attractions show the exquisite skills and profound cultural heritage of ancient Chinese architectural art.

Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave Group: The Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave Group is one of the three major ice cave wonders in the world, formed in the Quaternary glacial period 3 million years ago. There are currently 16 ice cave groups that have been discovered, of which the No. 1 ice cave group was officially opened to the public in February 2019. These ice caves do not melt in all seasons. Even in the hot summer, the caves are still cold and the temperature remains below zero all year round. The icicles, ice shoots, ice stalactites, ice stone flowers and other shapes in the cave are different and crystal clear. Under the illumination of the lights, it is like an ice fairy tale world.​

Talpo Ancient Village: Located deep in Yunqiu Mountain, Talpo Ancient Village is a thousand-year-old ancient village with a history of more than 2,500 years. It is said that Laozi Li Er once stayed here during his travels, and later Taoists practiced here and gradually formed a village. Talpo Ancient Village is surrounded by mountains and waters, and is shaded by ancient trees. Most of the buildings are cave dwellings with stone arches. Some courtyards are connected by secret passages, forming a maze-like architectural form. The village retains a rich traditional folk culture, such as wedding performances, shadow puppetry, and flower bun making, and is called a &quot;living fossil of residential architecture&quot; by experts.

Wulong Palace: It is dedicated to Zhenwu Emperor and is an important Taoist building in Yunqiu Mountain.

Yulian Cave: The birthplace of the Longmen School of Quanzhen Sect, with extremely high historical value.

Three Heavenly Gates: From Tianmen to Sanmen, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and it is an excellent route for mountaineering and viewing.

Yunhai Shengui: The mountain is shaped like a turtle, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the scenery is unique.

Opening hours: 8:00-18:00 in peak season, 8:30-17:30 in off-season.

After visiting Hukou Waterfall in the morning, I drove for nearly two hours to Yunqiu Mountain for the ice cave. As a 5A scenic spot, Yunqiu Mountain is indeed a scenic spot with very mature supporting facilities, and the transportation, scenic area management and prices are all quite good. This time, due to time constraints, I only played the back mountain route. The back mountain mainly includes Shenxian Valley, ancient villages and ice caves. Although the ice cave requires a separate ticket of 120/person, and there is a long queue during May Day, it is really beautiful and is definitely worth going in for a good look. It is also the most beautiful cave attraction I have personally visited so far.

My family, Linfen Museum really broadened my horizons! There are many and exquisite exhibits, from ancient times to modern times, it&#39;s like traveling through the long river of history. The guide is also very professional and explains clearly. The design of the venue is also modern, and it is very comfortable to walk around. The location is a bit remote, but it&#39;s free to visit, it&#39;s worth it to come here, highly recommended!

The new Linfen Museum is located in the Fenhe Cultural and Ecological Scenic Area. The exhibition hall is divided into four parts: &quot;Ancient Footprints&quot;, &quot;Earliest China&quot;, &quot;Spring and Autumn Period of Jin Dynasty&quot; and &quot;Pingyang for Thousands of Years&quot;. The content is very rich and colorful. It is a good place to learn about the history and culture of Linfen and even Shanxi.

Museums are also food? Beautiful scenery can also be eaten, not to mention that the treasure of the Linfen Museum, the Taosi Painted Dragon Plate, is a food container
The museum gate is a certain distance from the parking lot. You have to walk up the stairs to enter the museum, so be prepared to walk
The entrance is the second floor. Go down the first floor and start to see the Kitchen God from the first exhibition hall. The Taosi Painted Dragon Plate at the end of the entrance of the second exhibition hall will be ignored by many people who don&rsquo;t pay attention.
