    Aside from the crowds, there are no other problems. It has a classic and antique feel, and the shops inside are very bustling, with everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. Some local specialties are worth buying. The overall planning of the scenic area is also good, with both a sense of traditional history and a modern atmosphere. It's worth a visit.

    Compared to the exorbitant prices of 300-500 yuan at the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, the 80 yuan at Beixiangtangshan might not seem expensive. However, the visitor capacity here is far smaller than that of the Mogao Grottoes scenic area, so appropriately controlling the flow of people would result in a better experience. The steel structure canopy of the Three Buddha Hall at the Chang Le Temple ruins is clearly in a "Japanese style"... How did this typical Japanese-style overhanging eaves and bird-shaped roof ridge pass the approval of the local cultural relics protection department???

    I enjoyed a fantastic trip on the first day of National Day, off-peak, during the holiday season! It was my first time at a Fantawild theme park, and I expected it to be just like any other domestic park. I was surprised by how captivating and engaging the show was, showcasing the Chinese culture to its fullest! Nuwa mends the sky, The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, The Charm of the Nine Provinces, The Yellow Millet Dream, Meng Jiangnu, and Crazy Idioms—all excellent shows! Highly recommended! Fantawild National Colors Spring and Autumn was a truly worthwhile experience!

    The scenery of the lake and mountains is quite beautiful, especially when the sunlight is just right, making for stunning photos. The reservoir is nestled in the mountains, its surface shaped like the Chinese character "人" (ren, meaning person), but the boat trip only lasts half an hour. The boat moves too fast, and there's no time allotted for stopping to take photos, so it doesn't feel like good value for money.

    The mountain is steep, but the climb isn't too strenuous. The 20,000 steps from the top to the North Peak are definitely worth seeing. Words can't fully describe it. Whether you're on a budget, a luxurious trip, or a leisurely adventure, this is a must-see. This unofficial 5A-level scenic spot is worth visiting to experience the wonders of nature. P.S.: The common problem in tourism remains: a one-off deal. This is something that deserves serious consideration and urgent resolution.

    As expected of a historical city, the museum is very grand and impressive, displaying many exquisite cultural relics, such as a bronze horse, a set of three gold and silver wine vessels, and a smiling arhat. The exhibition layout is also well-organized and the viewing experience is smooth. The commemorative coins are also quite charming and beautiful. Highly recommended!

    The Wuzhishan Scenic Area in Taihang Mountains is a place well worth visiting. The several viewing platforms offer expansive views and captivating scenery. It is rich in Journey to the West cultural connotations, and the scenic area's cable car is quick and convenient, while the boardwalks are well-designed and easy to use for sightseeing.

    A small town with many stories, Daming is definitely worth a visit. I visited here two years ago, and it was a rather ordinary little town. Daming is completely different now, with a strong sense of traditional Chinese culture. It's on par with Luoyang and Tangshan, and the value for money is excellent. Most attractions are free, and the photos are fantastic. I highly recommend everyone to come and visit!
