Breathtaking experience! I went in November after Chinese national holidays were over, so it wasn’t very crowded. If you’re worrying about getting lost there (the territory is pretty huge), don’t worry, even if you come alone, there are plenty of guides walking around and offering their services for 300 rmb only
It was very good experience . Book within a second and highly recommended to book through trip

Although the Longmen Grottoes are notorious for having nine out of ten caves destroyed, their sheer number means that many are still relatively well-preserved. If your itinerary allows, you can spend 4-5 hours leisurely exploring, fully appreciating the historical significance. Local prices are also relatively inexpensive. After visiting the grottoes, you can head to the university area to enjoy some delicious food.
Longmen Grottoes, one of the three major grottoes in China, is definitely worth a visit. It's even more beautiful at night with the lights. I went twice. The stone Buddhas, large and small, are all uniquely shaped and are a treasure of China. I highly recommend it.

This was a great experience in Xi’an. We enjoyed hiring bicycles and riding as the sun went down. Lots to see from the wall and plenty of stops for photos.
What you think of as the city wall isn't the real one; it's a must-see attraction. I've been up the wall countless times. Yesterday afternoon it was already very windy and cold, so I highly recommend wearing a down jacket if you're entering in the afternoon. I strongly recommend cycling on the wall! 🚲

There's only one path to Mount Hua, so I chose a one-day hike up north and a cable car down west, climbing the North Peak, Central Peak, East Peak, South Peak, and West Peak one by one, checking off classic and popular spots, and enjoying the magnificent natural and cultural landscapes. Checking the weather forecast, I was fortunate to have a sunny day to experience the autumn scenery of Mount Hua. The hike challenged my physical and endurance limits, and the cable car provided a thrilling and exhilarating experience, like standing on the edge of an abyss. The unique scenery of Mount Hua offered absolutely worth the price of admission. It was a very refreshing and completely satisfying trip.
I went in early November and was extremely satisfied. I climbed Mount Hua at night to watch the sunrise (North Peak, down from West Peak), and it was perfect. I visited all three peaks: East, West, South, North, and Central. The scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommended. I also tried the "Eagle Turns Over" and the "Skywalk."

Mind blowing decorations and performance! Highly recommend
The large-scale sound, light and electricity outdoor situational performance tells the story of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the love story of Yang Guifei. The scene layout is full of technology. The night sky and the moon are displayed very realistically against the backdrop of Mount Li. The actors dance perfectly, and the lingering love is full of love. The fighting on the battlefield and the flames rising into the sky are very immersive, and the scene at that time is truly reproduced. It is very worth watching and it is also the best large-scale performance I have ever seen.

The scenic area is excellent. The management is very humane, giving you a more pleasant experience than expected. The staff in the lobby are very welcoming, and the pricing is transparent. A special photo shoot costs only 20 yuan and even includes costumes. Definitely worth a visit!
Tiger Mouth Waterfall is a place well worth visiting. In summer, the water volume is abundant, and standing on the bank, you truly feel as if the Yellow River is performing a grand chorus, roaring and crashing. The Yellow River also contains a lot of silt, and the splashing water is full of silt.

Jinci Museum is the most worthwhile place to visit in Taiyuan. I went directly there from the airport that afternoon, and the taxi ride took less than half an hour. I hired a guide who explained all the most worthwhile things to see at Jinci. Buying tickets on Ctrip was very convenient; you can simply scan the QR code to enter the park.
On this day trip to Nanjing, I was lucky to have met a great tour guide, Mr. Sun. He added me on WeChat the night before to remind us to bring our documents and umbrellas. I was traveling with two elderly people, and Mr. Sun assisted me in taking care of them the whole time. He introduced the attractions in a humorous and detailed way, and most importantly, he helped us save money on shopping and avoid making any bad purchases. Five stars!

For lazy people, the 4-hour express cable car ride with two sections is a great experience. The only downside is the steep and slightly scary climb to the Golden Summit. The entire route was shrouded in gray, but after rounding a bend, the sky cleared instantly, revealing a beautiful blue sky and Golden Summit. There were convenient food stalls like KFC and "Overlord Tea" on the mountain.
A group of four drove up Laojun Mountain and parked at the Yunjing Cableway parking lot. We entered the visitor center at 12:30 PM. Having purchased our tickets online in advance, we quickly boarded the cableway, making our ascent to the summit and enjoying the stunning scenery. Details are as follows:
Itinerary
- Ascent: First, take the Yunjing Cableway (approximately 10 minutes) directly to Zhongtianmen. Then, transfer to the Fenglin Cableway (approximately 5 minutes) to the entrance of the Ten-Li Painting Screen. Walk through the Fairyland Tunnel and along a section of the Ten-Li Painting Screen (a typical walk of about an hour), enjoying the scenic views along the way. Climb to the Golden Temple. Only bring water and chocolate with you on the mountain. Wear windproof clothing or a down jacket.
- Descent: At 6:15 PM, after taking photos at the Golden Summit, we quickly descended the same way we came. First, take the second-level cableway (Fenglin Cableway), waiting in line for about 20 minutes. Then, take the first-level cableway (Yunjing Cableway), where the line was shorter.

The all-inclusive ticket is definitely worth buying. You need it to climb the ancient city wall, and several other key attractions also require tickets for entry. My favorites were Qingxu Temple and the Confucian Temple. 😁😁😁
Pingyao Ancient City is definitely worth visiting at least once in your life ❤️ While it shares many similarities with other ancient cities in terms of commerce—expensive restaurants, photo opportunities, bars, guesthouses, etc.—Pingyao Ancient City is a living ancient city. The [County Government Office] is well-preserved and once served as the county government compound; you can witness the financial pioneers at [Rishengchang]; the [Confucian Temple] and [City God Temple] are not only places of worship but also embody the spirit of Shanxi merchants. The Confucian Temple boasts the oldest existing Confucian temple building in China: its Dacheng Hall, built in the Jin Dynasty (1163), is older than the existing buildings of the Confucius Temple in Qufu, making it a true architectural gem with extremely high historical value. It is a complete example of "temple and school in one": it was not only a place to worship Confucius but also the official school (county school) of ancient Pingyao. You can see the complete ancient educational system from the "temple" for worship to the "school" for teaching; such a well-preserved layout is very rare. [Huiwu Martial Arts] comprehensively and systematically showcases the essence of Chinese martial arts. Finally, I highly recommend "Encounter Pingyao".

The ticket price is a bit expensive: 30 yuan per person. However, the bell tower is still worth going up, as there are cultural relics to appreciate. The view is even more beautiful at night when the tower is lit up.
Previously, I had only viewed it from a distance, but this time, climbing the tower gave me a more comprehensive understanding of its history, function, facilities, and architectural structure. Looking around from the top, the entire cityscape unfolded before me—a bustling commercial area with beautiful scenery. It was definitely worthwhile!
