Popular Family-friendly Attractions in Changzhi [2026]

It's alright, but the 90 yuan entrance fee is a bit expensive, considering it's basically a red tourism area. The attractions are charged separately, so it would be better if the ticket price were lowered. Not every tourist needs the guns and cannons or other attractions.

The scenery is worth seeing. It's not crowded, and if you don't have to queue, it might take about 5 hours. If you do queue, it will take even longer. The air is fresh, the scenery is pleasant, and the combination of red tourism and beautiful natural scenery is particularly charming!
