The Longmen Grottoes are a must-see for everyone. Buying tickets on Ctrip was very convenient. Watching the lights illuminated from the Dongshan Observation Deck was breathtaking. I forgot the name of the river there, but it was also beautiful. There's a bus stop at the Northwest Service Area, making it easy to get back to the old city! The bus service during this Luoyang trip was incredibly convenient and affordable! The government is incredibly thoughtful and supportive!
Wow, it's a masterpiece of nature. Went to Longmen Grottoes! As soon as I got off the bus, I was hit by the historical atmosphere. Strolling along the Yi River, the grottoes stacked up layer upon layer, it was incredibly spectacular. The Vairocana Buddha was so stunning, his eyes were so compassionate, it's a true treasure. The only regret was that there were so many people, so all the photos were group photos.

Mist, cold, muddy water, and a roaring yellow cauldron—this is my impression of Hukou Waterfall.
After getting off the sightseeing bus, I saw mist rising in the distance. Within the Hukou Waterfall section, there's a rock formation several dozen meters wide and 100-200 meters long. From the west bank, I crossed the bridge to the rock formation, walked a few dozen meters to the safety railing beside it, and before my eyes, the Yellow River roared down a 100-200-meter-wide fault line for 30 meters. The mist drenched me, soaking my glasses and my phone lens. My feet were covered in muddy water, and every hand I held onto the railing was covered in mud. My phone was covered in mud. My body and hair were soaked, probably from the muddy water.
It's said that rainbows can be seen between 8 and 10 a.m., but the sun didn't shine today, so I didn't see any.
I didn't regret visiting the renowned Hukou Waterfall, but the visual impact wasn't as dramatic as the emotional impact of the Yellow River itself. I've definitely had to visit it once, and having already been there once, I'm not particularly tempted to return again. In my humble opinion, it lacks the majestic power of a mighty river descending from the heavens; it's more like seeing a wriggling chocolate sauce.

Recommended, flying over the Qingming River Park is super nice, playing iron flowers, the defense of Tokyo, Yue Fei's spear picking up the little Liang King, the victory of Yancheng, etc. are all good, 3 days of unlimited entry, super good
Surprises are always pleasant surprises. We had a blast! One ticket gives you three days of worry-free entry and exit. There's a map at the entrance, and a QR code gives you access to different time slots. There's no end to the things to see and do. The actors are incredibly dedicated. The Tokyo Dream Hua show was incredibly high-tech and visually impactful. Overall, it's a great value, and a place I'd love to visit again.

One of the things I was particularly looking forward to during this trip to Shanxi was the abundance of ancient buildings and the vast gardens. The environment was comfortable, and it wasn't very hot in September, with a cool breeze that was pleasant. There were still quite a few visitors.
The scenic area's shuttle service was average, but the fare was cheap. There was nowhere to put the stroller on the bus, and the staff just watched and refused to help. The service was lacking.
The guide we hired was quite good at explaining the tour.

There are many attractions in the city, so it's best to set aside a full day to visit. Xietongqing, the Confucian Temple, and the Pingyao County Yamen are all worth visiting. The county yamen has a court performance, so you can go there in advance to wait for it to start. There are many places to eat in the ancient city. I recommend Tianyuankui. The food is very good, the service is great, and the price is quite affordable with the coupon.
The Pingyao City Wall is located in Pingyao County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province. It was first built during the reign of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty (827-728 BC) and covers an area of approximately 85,690 square meters. The western and northern sides of the wall were built by the Western Zhou general Yin Jifu when he stationed troops here during his northern expedition against the Xianyun. It is a national cultural relic protection unit.

What time can I redeem my silver bills for refrigerator magnets? I arrived at Hanyuan Pier at 3:20, and the security guard said the staff weren't at work yet. I went out for lunch and arrived just after 5:00, and they said they were off duty. I'm going to file a real-name complaint for being late and leaving early... It was still a lot of fun. The forging fire was indeed beautiful, and the complimentary Hanyuan and Eiffel Tower are also worth seeing.
Wansuishan Great Song Dynasty Martial Arts City is definitely worth a visit! After dinner in the afternoon, you can watch Wang Po's Matchmaking show, and then schedule an appointment to see the iron flower show. The next morning, you can return to the park for breakfast, watch and participate in various small performances, and then at 11 a.m., watch the large-scale live performance "Three Strikes on Zhujiazhuang." The 80 yuan ticket gives you unlimited entry to the park for three days, which is quite attractive!

It is so exquisite that I am speechless. I admire and respect the wisdom of the ancients, whether it is dustproof or structure, construction, or grasp of details, I am in awe.
Xiaoxitian Temple in Xi County, Shanxi Province. Black Myth: Wukong, China's first truly global AAA single-player action role-playing game, released on August 20, 2024, features 36 major filming locations across China, with this location being the most famous. Following the game's release, Xi County, Shanxi Province, a small, mostly unknown county, has been flooded with tourists... They spend two hours taking photos (no flash), glittering with the sight of the gods and Buddhas. This is a nationally protected cultural relic, illuminated only by natural light, from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM daily. The earlier you go, the better; after 10 AM, the main hall becomes difficult to see.

Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a Chinese wonder worth a once-in-a-lifetime visit. It's recommended to view it from either Shaanxi or Shanxi Province. From the Shaanxi side, traditional buildings are dotted with scattered red flags. Shaanxi offers magnificent views of Hukou, with its cascading rock formations along the shore. Stand by the river and marvel at the cascading, geometric structure of the waterfall.
Ke Zhenliang leaped over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, watched by millions. A sculpture commemorates his impossible feat.
There is no feeling of high mountains and flowing water. The ticket is too expensive and not worth it. You have to take a bus to get in. The bus stop is quite far away. It is a natural scenic spot that is too commercialized.

Henan's attractions won't disappoint! Every theater is refreshing, both in content and performance. Don't worry about your children getting lost in the action. They might not fully grasp the content, but the performances will definitely captivate them, so both adults and children will find something they enjoy!
I went in at 10am and watched 3 main plays (two were enough for me to go in), 8 small theaters and 2 outdoor ones. I came out at almost 10pm and only bought 2 bottles of water in between. Needless to say, it was the best this year.

On the last day in Mount Wutai, our tour guide Xiao Zhao took us to visit the temples in the central scenic area and told us many interesting stories, which brought our trip to Shanxi to a perfect end.
If you have faith, go to Mount Wutai. If you like taking photos, go to Mount Wutai. If you hike, you must climb to the Big Snail Peak. Climb the 1,008 steps to see all the other mountains. The mountain is in the clouds, the temple is in the mountain, and you are in the temple.
