The tour started with a meeting point to board a bus to bring us to the attraction entrance. Our guide Lianghua was punctual, gave us an introduction of the Mount Tai and brought us around. She was readily available to answer our questions and was helpful throughout the tour. The climb at the 18 bends was challenging yet satisfying. Over 3000 steps. The view at the peak was great and totally worth it. Amazing experience overall.
Overall, I like the cable car at Mount Tai, but the scenery at Mount Tai is really good. The price is not expensive, especially for the elderly, who are free or half price, which is very friendly. You don’t have to carry too many things up the mountain, and there are things for sale. I personally feel that it is not very expensive and within an acceptable range.

I took my family to the provincial capital for a weekend getaway, and unexpectedly ran into a crowd attending Jay Chou's concert. We arrived at Baotu Spring late, so it was relatively quiet. The scenery was beautiful, with the weeping willows and spring water reflecting off each other, and the kids were delighted. The path is quite staircase-heavy and gravelly, making it less stroller-friendly. If you don't have a helper, bring a lightweight stroller.
Stepping into Baotu Spring Park feels like stepping into a natural ink painting. Three clear springs gush endlessly, like jade liquid rising into the air and snow-capped waves surging, their endless vitality awe-inspiring! Surrounding the park are exquisite pavilions and weeping willows swaying in the water, perfectly blending the grandeur of northern gardens with the graceful beauty of Jiangnan scenery. Li Qingzhao's former residence, nestled within the park, adds a touch of cultural elegance. The water is crystal clear, revealing the bottom, and koi carp swim gracefully. Watching from the railing, your heart follows the tranquility of the springs, and your worries vanish. Admire the crabapple blossoms in spring and the chrysanthemums in autumn. The misty winter air, shrouded in mist, creates a truly dreamlike scene. Jinan's soul converges here, truly the most vibrant pearl of the Qilu region!

The scenery is nice, there are many performances and various life dramas, and the tourists are highly involved. It is very good, especially at night, when the Qingming Riverside Park is even more beautiful under the lights. If you take a boat trip, it is even more pleasing to the eye and you will linger there. It is well worth a visit.
The experience is very strong, and there are many interactive activities. In fact, it is lively when there are many people, and it is more immersive. The iron flowers at night are particularly beautiful, and it feels great! I will go there again if I have the chance.

The heritage left by our ancestors is amazing and the scenery is great. There are different levels of paid explanations, and no free explanations. If you have enough time, it should be very pleasant to stroll around the courtyard. The natural scenery and ancient buildings complement each other. Jin Temple is the most worth-seeing ancient building in Shanxi!
I visited the Provincial Museum and this place in Taiyuan, and I think the Jin Temple is definitely worth a visit! The architecture and culture are both very impressive. It's also a good idea to just listen to a guided tour online without asking for a guide. Taxis are expensive to get around the city, so I recommend hitchhiking.

Compared to all the famous ancient cities in China, Pingyao Ancient City can truly be described as a truly ancient city. It retains the features of an ancient city, with its escort agencies, banks, government offices, City God Temple, and Confucian Temple all well-preserved. The only drawback is the lack of signage leading into the ancient city. I wonder if the scenic area is deliberately trying to encourage electric taxi drivers to take advantage of short journeys, but they're taking detours to justify the distance and charge a ten-yuan fare per person. The scenic area also has plenty of clean restrooms, which I commend for their management.
This is a place worth visiting. It is the most well-preserved ancient city. It is recommended that you must find a tour guide when you go there for a short trip, because it is too big. It is a waste of time to find it by yourself, and the experience is not good. If you stay for a while, you can slowly walk around and experience some of the local customs and historical buildings. It is recommended that you go there when you are free. If the long holiday is really crowded, it will be crowded.

The Hanging Temple is spectacular. It's worth a visit, but climbing up isn't necessary; there's a line. If you don't want to buy a ticket, you can see it from the entrance. The scenic area insists on having a parking lot so far away and then making you pay for a shuttle bus, which is a cliché.
From the ground, it's quite impressive, with the temple completely embedded in the cliff face. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good, so the light wasn't very bright. Besides the temple, there are a few inscriptions to see.

I only went to Wansui Mountain, and it was worth it. For the price, I had so many NPS spots to explore, it was worth it. It's so pet-friendly! I encountered lots of puppies! 😏
P.S. Don't drive yourself; Kaifeng's traffic is terrible, and you'll have to pay a fine when you get back! 😤
I spent five hours exploring the area without any research, and without even checking a map, I just wandered around. I only saw a few shows, and the exciting ones that required reservations were all sold out. Since I got half-price admission, it was a great value.
This attraction is actually worth a full day. It's not suitable for seniors or adults.

The happiest thing was seeing Director Wang's work. Every time I go to Zhengzhou on business, I'm always rushed out, and my ticket reservations are repeatedly postponed due to work. This time, I didn't miss the appointment. Even though it was raining, I was still enthusiastic about the show, and there was no need to queue. However, because I had so little time, I only saw two shows, only the Henan show. Having been here, I have no regrets. Next time, I have the chance to come back and bring my children with me.
Henan's attractions won't disappoint! Every theater is refreshing, both in content and performance. Don't worry about your children getting lost in the action. They might not fully grasp the content, but the performances will definitely captivate them, so both adults and children will find something they enjoy!

Mount Wutai is so big that you don't have to worry about the route when you join a tour group. Those who travel independently can take the free shuttle bus in the scenic area and play from stop to stop. When you are tired, you can get on the bus, and when you are not tired, you can walk around. It is quite suitable, but there are too many people. September is the off-season and there are not many people, but there are still crowds of people. The reception level in the scenic area is limited, and there are queues in the toilets. The queuing phenomenon in the scenic area is serious, so some people will go there again and again. Below Dailuoding, there is a slow slope when you come down. If people want to rest, there is a very small step on the side with an iron frame next to it to sit on. However, there is no sign on the step and the bricks on the ground are gray, which is particularly difficult to distinguish. I sat there for less than 20 minutes and three or four people sprained their ankles, but I forgot to take pictures. I hope the scenic area will consider being more humane when designing the rest platform.
I bought my Mount Wutai ticket and the Wuye Bodhisattva Body-Expanding Talisman on Ctrip. On the bus to Mount Wutai, the driver told me my Ctrip ticket might not work. I was apprehensive. Could Ctrip be so unreliable? Then I figured I could just buy new tickets at the customer service center. I was immediately able to enter after swiping my ID at the entrance gate. What a relief! Ctrip is trustworthy!

I arrived at the Yanmen Pass that I had longed for. It has a long history and is magnificent. I felt the long history of Chinese culture. I climbed the Great Wall, walked from the North Gate to the South Gate, and then walked from the South Gate to the North Gate. The experience was simply too great.
Yanmen Pass was a last-minute addition to our itinerary, and it was beyond my wildest dreams. The rich history and culture made me feel like I was witnessing the heroes who guarded the pass! While it's a long section of the Great Wall, the climb wasn't too strenuous! It's definitely worth a visit, highly recommended!
