    "This time I went to Huashan, considering the age of the peers, we chose the west up to north down the route, from the west peak to the south peak, then the east peak to the middle peak, and then the north peak, from 9 am to 5 pm, running completely. When we climbed the South Peak and looked back at the West Peak, we had a panoramic view of the beauty of Huashan. We went down the mountain through the clouds and Canglong Mountain to experience the dangers of Huashan. Huashan made us enjoy a unique climbing experience."

It was rebuilt many times in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.Canglong RidgeThe steps on Canglong Ridge are only more than 2 feet wide, with deep ravines on both sides, as steep as a knife or an axe. The height difference between the upper and lower ridge is about 500 meters, and the slope is more than 45 degrees.

    "Going to Shaanxi, Hukou Waterfall is worth a visit. The scene is spectacular, accompanied by the play of the Yellow River Chorus, which is exciting. But as a natural landscape, in addition to scenic tickets, the scenic transfer fee is also charged, which affects the consumption experience of tourists, and reduces the satisfaction and happiness of tourists to the service price."

    "Sunday, April 28, light rain. After many studies of all parties' strategies, in order to swim Wudang Mountain in one day, while protecting poor knees, decided to give up the hiking route, but also gave up the hiking Jinding to South Rock plan, and finally took the ropeway round-trip plan. 7:20 self-driving into the parking lot, 7:30 the first bus went straight to Qiongtai. The ropeway at the ropeway station has not yet opened, 8:06 take the first ropeway, 8:39 has been on the top of the golden roof. On the way to worship, no one was turbulent and very clean. I went in through the small attraction Lingguan Palace and so on. 9:25 cableway down the mountain, visit Qiongtai Zhongguan. Qiongtai takes the car to Prince Po to transfer, then Prince Po directly to Nanyan to get off, 11:07 tour Nanyan Palace, only see the dragon head incense, peach wood sword, skip the thunder god hole, fly up the cliff. Nanyan takes the car to Ziyan Palace, 13:01 tour Ziyan Palace. Zixi Palace takes a car to Prince Po, 14:14 to visit Prince Po. 14:50 Prince Po takes a car to the visitor center and goes out of the mountain. 15:30 parking lot to pick up the car and run the road. This plan makes full use of transportation, and the 100 yuan Jingjiao fare included in the fare is not wasted. Time also avoided the team peak, we 9:25 ropeway down the mountain, there are the first team ropeway up the mountain. The core attractions of Wudang Mountain are the priority of Jinding>Nanyan Palace>Zixi Palace>Prince Po. Since we don’t know much about the attractions, we don’t have a grasp of how much time to play, and we are not special soldiers, and we don’t want to rush the road, so our tour routes are also gradually unfolded in this order. So that there is no regret that the day trip can not be completed. In the end, it proved that it was very necessary to get up early. It was very efficient to take the Jingjiao and the round-trip ropeway. It was indeed possible to visit all the core attractions in a day. And after we arrived at each attraction, although we can rest assured to visit, There can also be rest time and Chinese food time on the way, not in a hurry."
