Nothing really prepares you to see the statues in real life, no history book, documentary or film. It was truly an important experience and I recommend it to anyone.
It was a good time to visit during off-peak summer vacation. Generally speaking, each museum was not too crowded. You could basically wait for the person in front of you to take pictures. Because it rained, we only visited three museums and did not go to other places. The only drawback was that it rained all day. There was a food street a few kilometers away from the parking lot. There was water everywhere. When I returned to the parking lot, my knees were all wet. The drainage was too poor.

Only after actually visiting the Longmen Grottoes did I realize they weren't nestled deep in the mountains, but on the banks of a river.
Entering them in person, standing at their feet, gazing up at the massive Buddha sculptures, gazing and being gazed at, I felt a grandeur and a sense of overwhelming power that can't be captured in videos or photos.
Walking along both sides of the Irrawaddy River, I realized Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Ching-kuo's villas were once located here, and that the Xiangshan (Fragrant Mountain) that Xiangshan lay Buddhists referred to was the Xiangshan Temple here.
Reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles; the answers are always on the road.
The scenic area is generally okay, but the battery car charges are not standard. The Vairocana Buddha is very magnificent! Many taxis near the scenic area do not use meters and charge a fixed price. The Didi I called did not reach the taxi station! I had to take the battery car out before I could take a Didi!

One of the must-see attractions, the latest entry is 10 o'clock, and all lights are turned off at 11 o'clock. I heard that the whole route is very long. We went relatively late and did not ride at night. You can try it if you go earlier. It seems that the rental fee is not cheap. It has a unique style!
Since I had a train to catch, I chose a short section of the city wall closer to the train station, from Anyuan Gate to Shangde Gate, a walk that took only a few minutes.
Due to off-peak travel times and poor weather, the city wall was sparsely populated, but it was still a pleasant experience.

There is a high-speed rail that goes directly to Mount Huashan from Xi'an. After getting off the high-speed rail, a taxi costs a few dollars to the foot of Mount Huashan. Time is tight and the weather is bad, so we took the North Peak cable car to take a quick look and then went down the mountain. The mountain is as steep as its reputation says. I will come again if I have the chance.
The Huashan West-Up and North-Down route combines a cable car with a scenic hike, balancing experience and comfort. This route allows visitors to experience the mountain's sheer cliffs (e.g., the sheer cliffs of the West Peak and the sea of clouds at the South Peak) while avoiding the physical strain of traditional hiking. Whether you're on a one- or two-day trip, it's important to plan your transportation and time in advance, especially taking into account peak season cable car queues and mountain weather fluctuations (e.g., wind and warmth). For first-time visitors to Huashan, this route offers the best value for money.

Definitely worth visiting! But you’ll need to understand mandarin, otherwise you’re there just for the effects. The performance was mesmerising, I really enjoyed the show.
It's beautiful and worth seeing. The only problem is that the seats are too close together and you have to endure the heat. But the outdoor live performance is acceptable. The overall performance is great and impressive. You can't do anything without buying the Ctrip lounge. You can't even walk around. The snacks are also very different from the pictures. The sunflower seeds are soggy and not crispy. It's very simple. I feel that the money was not spent. I didn't go there earlier than others. I didn't feel that I got any special service. But again, the performance was great.

Although it was crowded during the May Day holiday, it was still worth a visit! You can queue up to go down to the Dragon Cave, and the scenery below is also unique. It is worth a visit, but be sure to go early! ! !
The Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is definitely worth seeing to experience the majestic power of the Mother River. Both the Shanxi and Shaanxi sides said they could feel the roar of the Yellow River more clearly on their side. So, I suggest building a bridge so we can visit both sides and compare the two.

It's very beautiful, especially seeing the Panlong Pillar, I was shocked. There are many ancient trees in the Jin Temple, the oldest of which is 3,200 years old. It's amazing! There are national treasures everywhere. It's worth it. I want to go again in the future.
The most worthwhile scenic spot in Taiyuan. I go there at least 6 times a year. It has rich cultural connotations and a lot of history to learn. It covers a wide range of history, including the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, as well as modern history.

It is about a two-hour drive from Luoyang. It is recommended to join a one-day tour with a group. The first section of the cable car is a must, and the second section can be selected according to physical strength. The scenery is beautiful and worth a visit. Shopping on the mountain is convenient and the prices are not high. I bought small kiwis near the parking lot, which were very sweet. The Luanchuan three-finger tofu is also very delicious.
The Ten-Mile Painting Screen is quite nice, and it's even better on a sunny day. It was raining at the foot of the mountain when we went, but it stopped as we were climbing. It was foggy as we passed the Ten-Mile Painting Screen, so the scenery was quite nice. By the time we reached the Golden Summit, the fog was so thick that we couldn't see clearly from a distance.

Pingyao Ancient City is quite large. There are electric cars (10 yuan per trip) that go from the parking lot at Xiaoximen to the ancient city. There are many of these cars at the entrances of the city's tourist attractions. You need to buy a pass to visit the attractions in the ancient city.
Compared to all the famous ancient cities in China, Pingyao Ancient City can truly be described as a truly ancient city. It retains the features of an ancient city, with its escort agencies, banks, government offices, City God Temple, and Confucian Temple all well-preserved. The only drawback is the lack of signage leading into the ancient city. I wonder if the scenic area is deliberately trying to encourage electric taxi drivers to take advantage of short journeys, but they're taking detours to justify the distance and charge a ten-yuan fare per person. The scenic area also has plenty of clean restrooms, which I commend for their management.

[View] This bell tower is arguably one of the most magnificent in China.
[Fun] Located in the city center, it's a landmark in Xi'an.
[Value for money] Very good value, convenient for getting around.
To enter the scenic area, you need to take the underground passages from various entrances. You'll need to buy a ticket to enter the area near the entrance to Metro Line 2. It's also open at night. The view from the Bell Tower is fantastic, with views of the Drum Tower, Bell Tower Hotel, and Kaiyuan Shopping Mall. The scenery is even more stunning in the drizzle. After reaching the tower, there's a cultural and creative shop where you can buy a commemorative coin from the vending machine.
