    The Taihang Grand Canyon truly lives up to its reputation as a model of northern landscapes, seamlessly blending grandeur and elegance. Upon entering the scenic area, one is immediately awestruck by the imposing presence of its thousand-meter-high cliffs. The Zhangshiyan landform unfolds like a natural screen, its sheer rock walls bearing witness to millions of years of geological changes. The most stunning aspect is the diversity of scenery that changes with every step: Peach Blossom Valley features a babbling brook that meanders through the red cliffs, creating a verdant gallery; Wangxiangyan's steep steps climb the cliff face, offering both thrilling adventure and breathtaking panoramic views; the Taihang Sky Road winds like a dragon, with each turn revealing a new viewing platform. When shrouded in mist, the mountains appear and disappear, resembling a long ink painting. Autumn is the recommended season to visit, when the canyon is ablaze with color. The scenic area boasts excellent facilities and a well-designed loop route, but some sections are quite steep, so be sure to bring appropriate hiking gear. Here, the power of nature and human ingenuity blend perfectly, and a day trip can allow you to appreciate the essence of Taihang Mountain, making it an excellent choice for a short mountain and water tour.

    Overall, it's alright. The environment is beautiful and comfortable, especially the gate, which is quite spectacular, haha. If you like archaeology and history, you'll find it interesting, as it provides a direct understanding of oracle bone inscriptions and the excavation process. It's pretty good, but the ticket price feels a bit expensive...

    The scenery here is very beautiful. The autumn in the southern Taihang Mountains is even more beautiful. In addition to the beautiful scenery and few people, I also appreciate the spirit of the Red Flag Canal, which was dug entirely by hand. Of course, the Youth Cave is more worth visiting. It is the backbone, character and pride of the Chinese people.

    This monumental site, with new facilities and access to the original tomb passage, is well worth the visit. The Cao Cao Gaoling Ruins Museum is a shining pearl of Three Kingdoms culture. Its majestic architecture and rich, diverse exhibits, including over 2,400 artifacts, tell the story of history, and engaging multimedia interactives, allow visitors to experience Cao Cao's vision and strategy while also promoting the inheritance and development of Three Kingdoms culture. It's a must-see for history buffs.

    Visiting Youli City, where King Zhou of Shang imprisoned King Wen of Zhou. It was during this imprisonment that King Wen, Ji Chang, deeply contemplated and summarized the mysteries of heaven and earth and the philosophy of life, ultimately giving birth to the influential classic, the *I Ching* (Book of Changes), making the story of "King Wen imprisoned and writing the *I Ching*" a famous tale that has been passed down to this day. After walking for a long time through the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation in Youli City, I was dizzy and exhausted, and ultimately returned empty-handed. [facepalm]

    The old museum is better than the new one. You have to pay to enter the new one, and there is nothing to see inside. Just go to the old museum and buy a Yue Fei story to tell your children. There is no need to hire a tour guide, as it makes you dizzy.

    Anyang Tianning Temple is really nice! The Wenfeng Tower is so unique, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom like an upside-down vase, which is very rare. The tower is beautifully carved, and the sound of the wind chimes calms my heart. The temple is full of towering ancient trees, incense, and a great atmosphere. There are also many snacks around. After visiting the temple, come and have a bowl of flat noodles, which is great! You must check in here when you come to Anyang!
