The Henan version of 'Yanghu' gives a false impression of entering Tibet

⛰️ It's beautiful and free! A nanny tutorial teaches you how to walk through the Qinlong Gorge without any cost. It's a two-hour drive from Zhengzhou, with beautiful mountains and waters, and a pleasant afternoon walk for wool enthusiasts. Below is a tutorial on how to get there without climbing over walls or taking detours: 📍1 Navigate to 'Henan Yinqin Hydropower Co., Ltd.', there is a pavilion opposite the gate, and the trail down to the reservoir area is right under the pavilion. Baidu Maps might not find this company, so navigate to 'Yuyao', and you will pass by the company on the way. 2 After entering the reservoir area of Hekou Village, there are roads and steps. The goal is to walk to the far left (north side) of the top of the dam, which is the entrance to the less-traveled hiking trail. 3 Keep going forward until you see an archway, enter the old canal site, and walk through one tunnel after another. Some tunnels are quite long and require lighting to pass through. 4 I suggest the final destination be near the suspension bridge. After crossing the suspension bridge, there are no more major roads, and since you've already experienced the mountains, waters, and tunnels along the way, the general hiking crowd can return the same way. tips: About parking: Take my advice and park your car near the pavilion opposite the Yinqin Hydropower Company. Do not obstruct traffic. If you drive further, there is no proper road to enter, and many people climb over walls and gates to get in, which is uncivilized behavior that we do not advocate. Moreover, I have seen the station staff reinforce the wire mesh. ☁️ About the weather: Come on a clear day. It's not advisable to come here when it's very windy or raining heavily, as there are traces of rockfalls all along the old canal site. 🍚 About dining: The journey is mostly in the wilderness, so bring some dry food and water, and please take your trash with you. 🚾 About toilets: There are some in the reservoir area, but definitely none along the hiking trail.
