TENNY楓夜Jiaozuo Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area: Visit the summit of Yuntai Mountain, Zhuyu Peak (1297 meters above sea level), the origin of the saying "Where there are dogwood branches, one less person"; check out the glass walkway at Phoenix Ridge (haha, it's really not scary at all); visit Xiaozhaigou, and explore Tanpu Gorge, Longevity Peach Stone, Golden Dragon Lying on the Waves, Immortal Spring, and Tang King's Sword Testing Stone, etc.

Anonymous userThis is the only scenic spot I've ever visited with zero negative reviews. I feel it's worth the ticket price. First of all, the scenery is beautiful and spectacular. The entire route is a high-altitude walkway, and all the activities are great (some free activities require queuing). Most importantly, the management is very strong, and it's very clean and hygienic. Even the stairs are clean and you can sit anywhere.

。小冉冉The Huangcheng Xiangfu (Imperial City Prime Minister's Residence) is a 5A-level scenic spot worth visiting. Its grand scale integrates defensive and residential functions, with a clever layout and exquisite brick and wood carvings throughout, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. The scenic area also offers a variety of live performances, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in history. However, it also has drawbacks such as a long parking area and excessive commercialization in some areas.

明明之月White Horse Temple isn't large, so it wasn't tiring to explore. Following the guide's explanations, the tour went by quickly. As China's first officially established temple, it's definitely worth a visit. The guide's explanations were very detailed, though the microphone was a bit quiet. The guide worked very hard, not even having lunch before starting the tour. Afterwards, I thanked her for her excellent explanation and gave her some bread, receiving her thanks in return – a way of forming a good connection.

M52***87*The Analects, Yong Ye*: "When Confucius met Nanzi, Zilu was displeased. The Master swore an oath, saying, 'May Heaven punish you for what you have done! May Heaven punish you!'" The painting of Nanzi in *The Sacred Sites* is rather mediocre… This was a beauty who made Confucius exclaim, "I have never seen anyone who loves virtue as much as he loves beauty!" The State of Wei married many beauties from the State of Qi (the famous Zhuang Jiang and Xuan Jiang). Nanzi herself was a princess of the State of Song, so she should be considered a relative of Confucius? *Records of the Grand Historian* The *Annals of Confucius* states: "The wife of Duke Ling of Wei, a woman named Nanzi, sent someone to tell Confucius, 'Gentlemen from all directions who do not wish to be brothers with my lord must see my wife. My wife wishes to see you.' Confucius declined, but was forced to go. The lady was behind a fine curtain. Confucius entered, faced north, and bowed. The lady bowed twice from behind the curtain, her jade pendants jingling softly. Confucius said, 'I had previously refused to see her, but now I return the courtesy.'" Perhaps Nanzi herself wore such exquisite jade pendants back then. (Henan Museum) The main exhibition hall features more exquisite jade pendants unearthed from the Guo State cemetery in Sanmenxia, as well as jade pendants, bracelets, and rings from the Ying State cemetery in Pingdingshan. Nanzi could perhaps be referenced from Zhou Xun's portrayal in the film (however, the costume was too abstract...). Confucius is played by Chow Yun-fat... Yan Hui seems to be played by Ren Quan... The famous Mi Zixia (the one who shared the peach, actually Duke Ling of Wei's male favorite—considering Duke Ling was surrounded by beauties...) doesn't appear in the film.

Jojo-WalesAmazing. Easily a full day out. I went on a weekday in December meaning no crowds. Ended with a kungfu show. Highly recommended, and be prepared for some uphill hiking if you want to enjoy the full experience. The only thing to be aware of if taking public transport, it can be tricky to work out if you don't speak Chinese, and there were no buses coming back, so I had to negotiate a shared car with a private driver. Might be better to join a tour group even if it's just for the reliable transport.

gwwkingZhongyue truly lives up to its name. It's not just a masterpiece of nature, but a vivid and extreme manifestation of tectonic plate activity. Geologically, its mountain-building activity is far more active than the other mountains in the east, west, south, and north. A leisurely visit to Shaoshi Mountain takes about 4 hours, while Taishi Mountain takes roughly 9 hours. Either way, you'll have thick legs.

M11***30The environment was great, and the museum was huge. The guide led us through all the exhibits, and her explanations were excellent. Not only were there many exhibits, but the legendary ancient tomb artifacts were also truly impressive. Most importantly, there were few people, so we could explore at our own pace – that's better than anything else!
4.3/5Anonymous userI entered Yingtian Gate at 3 PM, then went to Mingtang and Tiantang, followed by Jiuzhou Pond. The lights came on around 5:30 PM. I visited all the floors, and arrived at Jiuzhou Pond around 6:15 PM. I climbed up to Yaoguang Hall, which was still lit up – very nice!

lin***ieThe park is very large and has a Han and Tang Dynasty style. The night views of Mingtang Paradise and Yingtian Gate are charming, and the Yingtian Gate light show is worth seeing. The martial arts field experience project at Jiuzhou Pond has a good design and is suitable for going at night. It is too hot during the day.
