    The Huangcheng Xiangfu (Imperial City Prime Minister's Residence) is a 5A-level scenic spot worth visiting. Its grand scale integrates defensive and residential functions, with a clever layout and exquisite brick and wood carvings throughout, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. The scenic area also offers a variety of live performances, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in history. However, it also has drawbacks such as a long parking area and excessive commercialization in some areas.

    Jiaozuo Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area: Visit the summit of Yuntai Mountain, Zhuyu Peak (1297 meters above sea level), the origin of the saying "Where there are dogwood branches, one less person"; check out the glass walkway at Phoenix Ridge (haha, it's really not scary at all); visit Xiaozhaigou, and explore Tanpu Gorge, Longevity Peach Stone, Golden Dragon Lying on the Waves, Immortal Spring, and Tang King's Sword Testing Stone, etc.

    This is the only scenic spot I've ever visited with zero negative reviews. I feel it's worth the ticket price. First of all, the scenery is beautiful and spectacular. The entire route is a high-altitude walkway, and all the activities are great (some free activities require queuing). Most importantly, the management is very strong, and it's very clean and hygienic. Even the stairs are clean and you can sit anywhere.

    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.

    We took a sightseeing bus from the Lower Temple to the Upper Temple. The first thing that caught our eye upon disembarking was the shimmering glazed tiles of the Flying Rainbow Pagoda. The current pagoda was built in the sixth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1527), and glazed tiles were added to the pagoda in the second year of the Tianqi reign of the Ming Dynasty (1622). It is the "world's tallest multicolored glazed pagoda." With Ming Dynasty blue bricks as its base, the yellow, green, and blue glazed tiles, despite centuries of weathering, remain vibrant. The 13-story octagonal pagoda gradually narrows, and the glazed components on each level are different, each layer unique, so exquisitely crafted that it's impossible to look away.

    Baima Temple truly deserves its reputation as China's oldest temple. Ancient cypress trees, some over a thousand years old, shade the red walls, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns seems to transcend time. There's no bustling commercialism, only a serene Zen atmosphere and a profound sense of history. Walking on the stone steps of Qingliang Terrace, watching the incense smoke rise, one can almost hear the echoes of camel bells from the Eastern Han Dynasty. A short two-hour visit felt like stepping into another world. This solemnity, passed down for millennia, commands utmost respect.

    The Big Locust Tree is a place where one can forget their troubles and purify their soul. Its sacredness and tranquility soothe everyone who comes to worship their ancestors. If you also yearn for inner peace, then come to the Big Locust Tree; I believe you will find it rewarding. The景区 service is excellent! 👍💕

    The environment was great, and the museum was huge. The guide led us through all the exhibits, and her explanations were excellent. Not only were there many exhibits, but the legendary ancient tomb artifacts were also truly impressive. Most importantly, there were few people, so we could explore at our own pace – that's better than anything else!

    Overall, it's alright. The environment is beautiful and comfortable, especially the gate, which is quite spectacular, haha. If you like archaeology and history, you'll find it interesting, as it provides a direct understanding of oracle bone inscriptions and the excavation process. It's pretty good, but the ticket price feels a bit expensive...
