National Day at Luya Mountain: Grasslands + Dangerous Peaks, a single landscape with two different charms

👉The long-awaited National Day holiday is slowly approaching, with poetry and distant lands beckoning. The autumn in the north is colorful and the forests are dyed in layers. ❤Recommended Reason: 👉Luya Mountain is the last pristine land in Shanxi. Traveling to Shanxi's Luya Mountain during the National Day, you'll find beautiful scenery and not many people. Casual photos taken here can all be desktop-worthy magnificent landscapes. Why not come and take a walk, have a look, snap some photos, and share the beauty. 👉Luya Mountain is located within the territory of Ningwu County, named for its resemblance to a 'luya' (reed shoot), with an altitude of 2739 meters, it stands like a giant with a sword thrusting into the sky. 👉Here, the peaks overlap, surrounded by more than 200 large and small mountains, with ravines crisscrossing, cliffs plunging, and streams babbling, featuring over 30 waterfalls of various sizes. The mountain peaks are sharp, with bizarre rocks and dense forests. 👉The scenic area centers around Luya Mountain (Taizi Dian main peak), including attractions such as Malun Grassland, Little Luya Mountain, Perennial Ice Cave, Millennium Geothermal, as well as the cliff plank walkway, Tianchi Lake Cluster, and Lover's Valley. 👉Malun Grassland has an altitude of 2721 meters and covers an area of more than 6000 mu. It was formed during the Quaternary glacial period 750,000 years ago and faces Luya Mountain from the south to the north. It is one of the largest subalpine meadows in North China. The grass here is lush and fertile, serving as a base for emperors of past dynasties to graze their warhorses. 🚉Travel Tips: Self-driving 🚔 👉From Taiyuan to Ningwu: Taiyuan Taijia Expressway—Fengrun Exit—Jingle—Dongzhai; Taiyuan—Dayun Expressway—Xinzhou—Xinbao Expressway—Luya Mountain Exit—Dongzhai; Taiyuan—Duncun—Fenshuiling—Dongzhai 👉From Wutai Mountain to Luya Mountain: Wutai Mountain—Wubao Expressway—Luya Mountain Exit—Dongzhai 👉From Datong to Luya Mountain: Datong—Exit at Shuozhou from the expressway—Shuozhou branch—Yangfangkou—Ningwu—Fenshuiling—Dongzhai 👉From Shijiazhuang to Luya Mountain: Shijiazhuang—Jingkun Expressway—Adjustment to Erguang—Cangyu Expressway—Ningbai Line—Dongzhai From Beijing to Luya Mountain: Beijing—G6—Jingda Expressway—G55 towards Shuozhou—Shuozhou branch—Yangfangkou—Ningwu—Fenshuiling—Dongzhai 👉Beijing—G4—Jingkun Expressway—Xinbao Expressway—Luya Mountain Exit—Dongzhai 👉From Hohhot to Ningwu: Hohhot—Helinger—Shahu Kou—Youyu—Pinglu—Shuozhou Yangfangkou—Ningwu—Fenshuiling—Dongzhai
