Baoquan Cliff & Grand Canyon Day Tour, a nanny-level guide

First, my impressions: the scenery is nice, and the facilities in the scenic area are quite complete. To exaggerate a bit, there's a trash can every five steps and a public toilet every ten steps, with free hot water provided. There aren't many stairs to climb, so you won't feel too tired after playing around. Now, let me introduce it in detail. Essentials Make sure to bring a full set of sun protection gear. It was mostly cloudy today, but I still felt the sunburn. It's advised to wear a pair of comfortable sports shoes, as there are some stairs to climb and a lot of walking to do. Also, bring a pair of water shoes or buy a pair on-site for twenty to thirty yuan. As for food and drinks, we only had a bottle of mineral water and a cup of machine-made cola throughout the day, because we weren't very tired, so we didn't consume much water. One bottle is enough. If you buy it in the scenic area, it's 4 yuan per bottle. We didn't bring any food, as there are many food vendors in the scenic area, and the prices are normal for a tourist spot, not too outrageous. I roughly remember the prices: ice cream cone 7, machine-made cola 9, hamburger 15, covered rice 25+, and I didn't ask the price for hot dry noodles and cold skin noodles. Lastly, bring a power bank, tissues, wet wipes, and essential balm as needed, and try to travel light. Self-driving route and tickets I departed from Zhengzhou, took the West Third Ring Road to the Lianhuo Expressway, then switched to the Zhengyun Expressway. The whole journey is over 90 kilometers, about 1 hour and 20 minutes, with a toll fee of 46 yuan, and the parking fee in the scenic area is 10 yuan for one day. Tickets are divided into two: Baoquan Cliff and the Grand Canyon. The Baoquan Cliff ticket includes the Grand Canyon. Baoquan Cliff ticket: Adult 180, Student 110, Child 95 Grand Canyon ticket: Adult 100, Student 69, Child 30 From 6.9 to 6.30, college entrance exam students are exempt from the scenic area ticket Baoquan Cliff From the visitor center, take a bus to the Luoga Temple cable car, ride the world's largest single-body cable car to reach the cliff top, and start the Baoquan Cliff scenic area tour. Baoquan Cliff mainly consists of some attractions on the cliff and thrilling activities, such as rock climbing, roller coasters, cliff swings, glass walkways, and bungee jumping. Finally, a 336-meter elevator takes you through the mountain in 52 seconds to reach the Grand Canyon scenic area. Grand Canyon After taking the L-shaped elevator to the Grand Canyon, you arrive at the busiest part of the canyon, where there are many small food shops, including Xuewang and Dicos. To the left is a place for kids to play in the water, and further inside is similar to Bali Gou, with a waterfall at the deepest part. To the right is the direction of the scenic area exit. If you're not too tired, it's recommended to walk out and take a bus to the visitor center, a distance of about 2.5 kilometers. If you're tired, there's a ferry car on the opposite side for 15 yuan per person, which takes you directly to the bus stop. Small tips We didn't queue up for any activities, and it took us about 6 hours in total for Baoquan Cliff & Grand Canyon. The roller coaster was under maintenance and not open, so if you want to play, you might want to call ahead to avoid a wasted trip. There were a lot of people rock climbing, all waiting in line to pass, and the queue for the cliff swing was estimated to be over 30 minutes.

The stunning scenery of Xiyagou Village in winter

🌟Highlights: Xiyagou Village: Xiyagou Village is a great place to see ice hangings in winter, and it is very close to Wangmang Ridge, another tourist spot. The hanging highway in Xiyagou Village is dangerous and the scenery is stunning. The commercial street in Xiyagou Village has many newly built ancient-style buildings, small bridges and flowing water, but personally, I think the scenery is better in summer than in winter. There are many farmhouses in the village that offer accommodation and restaurants, which are very good and cost-effective. I highly recommend the farmhouse, and the hanging highway is highly recommended (but you can't drive here, you can only see it when you take a sightseeing car down the mountain at Wangmang Ridge), and you can decide for yourself about the commercial street in the village. 🌟Highlights: In addition, you can also pass by the Spiral Cave on the way here, and experience the kilometer-long tunnel connected to the cave.

Holes in steep cliffs of nearly 90 degrees, and then connect these caves - this is the famous wall road in Guoliang, Henan.

All of them were hand-finished by the villagers of Guoliang Village. This Yugongs general struggle of the mountain finally penetrated the cliff on the cliff of Taihang Mountain and even became The local landscape - this is one of the "world's most dangerous roads" and one of the "most peculiar 18 roads in the world". Guoliang Village is also famous for this walled road. The village with stone-filled houses on the Taihang Mountain is also favored by many directors. Many film and television dramas like "Qingliang Temple Bells" and " Going out of the horizon and "lifting your hands" are all here. When we arrived, at the time of the spring blossoms, Guo Liangcun was full of mountains and flowers, and many students who studied painting sketched here.

Some time ago, I went to the Taihang Mountain at the junction of Henan and Shanxi with my friends. For a total of more than 9 days, I can say that I have climbed many places in the Taihang Mountains, whether it is a canyon or a mountain, but the most impressive thing is this hanging in the cliff. The village above can be said to be one of the most dangerous villages in Henan and even China. This is Guoliang Village in Shayao Township, Huixian County, Xinxiang County, Henan Province. When it comes to Guoliang Village, many people may have heard of it, especially those who love to travel by car because there is a very famous one here. The cliff road is also one of the most dangerous roads in China, and this cliff road was built by Guo Liang people to enter the village. Guoliang Village is located in the depths of Taihang Mountain. It is located at the junction of Shanxi and Henan. For a long time, the traffic here is inconvenient. The important mountain is isolated from the outside world. It is like an isolated paradise, only living here. Dozens of people, the total population is only a few hundred people, and the village where they live is the place that can be seen on this cliff, above a cliff about 1000 meters above sea level. Before the construction of this cliff road, Guo Liangcun was one of the poorest and backward places in Henan. From here, I want to enter the county. It takes about one day, fifty or sixty kilometers, basically Going away, there is a lack of material here, and there have always been "four difficulties".
