For the May Day holiday, I chose an unusual route—a one-day tour of Yuntai Mountain. Yes, you heard it right, one day to challenge the limits of my 'iron legs' and cover all the scenic spots in one fell swoop! 👧👶 About ticket prices: The full adult ticket is 120 yuan + 60 yuan for the scenic area transportation fee, and the ticket allows you to play for 3 consecutive days, with free entry and exit to the scenic area. Students can get half-price tickets with their ID card and student ID, children under 1.4m have free admission, and children under 1.2m also have free cable car rides. Importantly, you can enter the park without an ID card! 🔴 One-day itinerary: Arrive at the ticket office before 8:00, head towards Hongshi Gorge for sightseeing, depart for Xiaozhaigou at 9:30, reach Quanpu Gorge and Tian Waterfall by 10:00, return to the food city for a rest at 12:00, set off for Monkey Valley at 13:00, take the bus to Zhuyu Peak and walk along Fenghuang Ridge at 15:00, and around 18:40 take the bus back to the entrance at Baijiayan station. A commando itinerary, basically covering all scenic spots. 🔻 Hongshi Gorge: My favorite, cool and comfortable, with a different view at every turn, as if you are in the crystal-clear world described in 'A Small Stone Pool'. 🔻 Tips: This itinerary is suitable for friends with abundant energy, not recommended for those with children or the elderly. Pay attention to sun protection, as it's easy to get tanned when going up the mountain. If you like to experience additional activities, this itinerary may not be suitable for you, as I went purely to enjoy the scenery and didn't want to queue. The Jiaozuo-Yuntai Mountain tourism bus line 3 operates until 18:10 at the latest and is free during the May Day period. If you are late, it is recommended to have a car or take a taxi. 🌞 The scenery is great, and after the trip, we had a small barbecue, ending a full day's journey. If you also want to challenge yourself during the May Day period, why not try this one-day tour strategy to Yuntai Mountain!

Yuntai Mountain, located at the border of Henan and Shanxi provinces, is listed in the first batch of World Geoparks for its unique 'Northern Karst Topography'. It is not only known as the 'Encyclopedia of Geology' but also as the 'Hundred-Mile Gallery' of landscape beauty. The eight hundred miles of Taihang Mountains have reserved their most beautiful section for Yuntai Mountain, which boasts not only geological features but also historical and cultural significance. For geological landscapes, you can visit attractions such as Red Stone Gorge, Xiaozhaigou, and Baijia Rock, while for historical and cultural sites, you can see Zifang Lake, Zhuyu Peak, and Wanshan Temple. Red Stone Gorge is a signature attraction of Yuntai Mountain, a geological relic formed by crustal movements during the Sinian period 1.4 billion years ago. It is known as a 'miniature landscape world, an enlarged art bonsai', named after the deposited red quartz sandstone. Red Stone Gorge is located 68 meters underground, combining beauty, seclusion, grandeur, and danger in one valley, with springs, waterfalls, streams, and pools. The cliffs on both sides are beautifully shaped as if carved by the gods. Zhuyu Peak is the main peak of Yuntai Mountain, also known as 'Little North Top'. In ancient times, it was as famous as the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain in Hubei. It has been a sacred place for literati, monks, and Taoists throughout the ages. Only by ascending Zhuyu Peak can you truly appreciate the mood of Wang Wei's widely cherished poem 'Remembering My Brothers on the Ninth Day of the Ninth Month', which reflects the sentiment, 'From afar I know my brothers climb the heights, all but one less, wearing dogwood sprigs bright.' Xiaozhaigou includes three attractions: Quanpu Gorge, Tanpu Gorge, and Macaque Valley. The Yuntai Skyfall in Quanpu Gorge is one of the iconic landscapes of Yuntai Mountain, hailed as the highest waterfall in China, with a drop of 314 meters, the largest in China and even Asia. Tanpu Gorge, with a spring every three steps, a waterfall every five, and a pool every ten, is a must-see attraction in Yuntai Mountain. Among them, Lover's Waterfall, Golden Dragon Lying on the Waves, Y-shaped Waterfall, Everlasting Spring, and Water Curtain Waterfall are all classic spots to linger. Macaque Valley is the habitat of Taihang macaques, where you can interact with them up close, offering both fun and a great viewing experience. Zifang Lake, also known as 'Ping Lake', is named after Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty (styled Zifang), who once trained troops on the western side of the valley and, after helping Emperor Liu Bang achieve greatness, retired here. The secluded Wanshan Temple, hidden in the mountains and forests, is an ancient temple with a long history. It was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to repay the kindness of Master Wu Xiang for saving his life. The temple's name was bestowed by Emperor Shenzong of Ming and was once a royal temple, one of the largest in the Central Plains at the time. Baijia Rock is the birthplace of the transition of Chinese landscape garden culture from the court to the people. Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, once took refuge here to escape the summer heat. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the seven sages known as the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove' lived in seclusion in the bamboo forest of Baijia Rock for more than twenty years.

It's not about whether to go to Harbin or not, it's that Yuntai Mountain is more cost-effective. Sorry Harbin, I choose Yuntai Mountain! The ice waterfall is really super shocking, it's so photogenic, my friends circle asked me if I went abroad haha, this is Yuntai Mountain in Henan, China oh I took more than 400 photos as a special soldier for a day trip, each one is very beautiful with a camera it's more photogenic, I took the perfect picture of my life.

Climbing up Yuntai Mountain, looking around, the mountains are continuous, lush and verdant. There are trees, flowers, and birds flying in the sky in the mountains, truly a marvelous scroll of painting! Ascending to the highest peak of Yuntai Mountain, looking into the distance, the mountains are continuous, lush as if dyed with ink, a vision of verdancy; up close, it is a succession of overlapping ridges, with verdant pines and cypresses, and abundant flowers and grass; moving forward, there is a winding path leading to a secluded spot, revealing a world of its own.
