You can visit the new museum, ancestral temple, and royal tomb all in one day, with an amazing experience～ Detailed address and transportation guide: No.1 Yinxu Road, Yindu District, Anyang City, Henan Province📍 Super convenient if you’re not driving!

Newly opened in 2024 with fewer crowds and a better experience✨ Daytime tickets are 80 RMB, and the first 2,000 visitors at night get in free (if you miss the free tickets, it’s only 40 RMB). Nearly 4,000 cultural relics, three-quarters of which are on display for the first time, are so stunning they leave you speechless!😭 It’s recommended to start from the 3rd floor and go down—bronze ritual vessels, oracle bone fragments, jade ornaments, each piece holds the Shang and Zhou dynasty secrets～ The 1st-floor cultural and creative area is great for shopping, and the coffee is unique too. After walking, having a cup is super relaxing☕ Then visit the palace and ancestral temple ruins; the 50 RMB combined ticket also includes the royal tomb, and you can finish in 2 hours～ Don’t miss Fuhao’s Tomb! The earliest female general’s tomb in China. Although there aren’t many exhibits, standing in front of the tomb pit gives a strong time-travel feeling👩⚔️ The YH127 oracle bone pit is amazing, with over 10,000 oracle bones piled together, truly a miracle of oracle bone studies🔍 Don’t miss the chariot and horse pits or the oracle bone stele forest, perfect for photos～ Finally, visit the royal tomb site, 1 hour is enough!

Don’t use flash photography on relics, wear comfortable flat shoes, so your feet won’t get tired after a day of walking👟 The night tour at the new museum has an amazing atmosphere, with lights shining on the relics, as if traveling back to the Shang dynasty～ In summary, Yinxu is really worth rushing to!📣 You can visit all the core attractions in one day, ancient civilization lovers will be ecstatic～ The address is No.1 Yinxu Road, Yindu District, Anyang City.

TRIP MUSIC AWARD "Small Town Dreamers"

Living in Shanghai makes you lose touch with the real China. Truth is, many provinces in China are not yet as developed. Henan is such a province-many people still struggle with poverty and arriving there, it felt like I had gone back in time. However, Henan a place with immense historical significance. Henan is often referred to as "The mother of China" because historians say that Chinese civilization originated in this region. During our stay, we visited The Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, the largest and most impressive collection of Chinese cave carvings from the late Northern Wei and Tang Dynasties. We also visited Shaolin temple, often known as the birthplace of martial arts and Zen Buddhism, and watched masters of kungfu practice their craft. In Henan, I got to see a different side of China, and it has only made me love this country even more. #china #travelinspiration #tripblazers #mytripvlog #travelphotography

Recently went to the museum in Xinxiang city. First of all, it was completely free! Next thing I found entertaining is that you can buy special cards to get prints on them. I think, this idea is great for children (and not only them). The content of museum was beautiful. Even though most of the writings there were in Chinese, you can just watch these great statues, figures etc. I loved it and highly recommend!#museum #xinxiang #museums

How incredible is the place chosen by China National Geographic? In winter, Baoquan transforms into a real-life "Elsa Princess" ice and snow castle! Hundred-meter ice waterfalls, frozen roses, Altay-style snow houses... it’s all here, and you can check everything off in one day. Super convenient to get there from Zhengzhou, highly recommended for family trips! ⛄️ One-day Ice Waterfall and Snow Village Family Highlights Route 📍 Morning: Traverse the Taihang Ice Valley It’s recommended to arrive at the scenic area before 9 AM. Enter the [Grand Canyon] area and get off at [Taohuaping]. A short walk will bring you to the stunning [Taihang Ice Waterfall Cluster], where dozens of meters-high waterfalls have frozen into crystal-clear ice pillars and curtains, resembling a natural ice sculpture exhibition. Then visit the popular [Frozen Rose], capturing romance in the ice and snow. Finally, head to the [Baoquan Snow Village Photography Base], where wooden houses, fences, and snow mushrooms create a strong northern winter vibe, with artificial snowfall enhancing the photo atmosphere. 📍 Afternoon: Overlook the Wonder of Youlong Bay After lunch and rest at the food street, proceed to the [Yatianxia] area. Take the [Luojiasi Cableway] up the mountain (this cableway offers excellent scenery). After getting off, walk along the gentle [Danya Sky Road] to reach the [Xiangyun Viewing Platform]. This is the best spot to photograph the National Geographic cover shot of "Baoquan Youlong Bay." In winter, the snow-covered mountains and winding blue waters make the scenery even more magnificent. Take your kids for a walk on the [Cliffside Plank Road], which is very safe yet thrilling. 🚌 Transportation and Ticket Tips Take the high-speed train to [Xinxiang East Station], then taxi or carpool about 1 hour directly to the scenic area. Self-driving: Navigate to [Baoquan Tourism Resort Visitor Center], about 1.5 hours from Zhengzhou. Tickets: Winter (mid-December to mid-February) discounts available! The [Yatianxia] area often waives the main entrance fee; you only need to buy a round-trip cableway ticket for 130 RMB per person (this ticket often includes the Grand Canyon area). The [Grand Canyon] ticket is purchased separately for about 100 RMB. Following official promotions can save you a lot! On-site transportation: Must buy the scenic area shuttle bus ticket (30 RMB per person), connecting all attractions. ⚠️ Winter Family Trip Safety Tips Warmth and anti-slip come first: Mountain temperatures are 5-10°C lower than the city, so be sure to wear thick down jackets and waterproof, anti-slip snow boots. Some paths in the scenic area are icy, so prepare ice grips for kids. Activity selection: The cliff swing and bungee jumping in [Yatianxia] are very thrilling and not suitable for young children. The ice and snow scenery and snow village in [Grand Canyon] are more suitable for family fun. Food advice: The food street in the scenic area offers hot meals, including local heluo noodles. However, it’s recommended to bring a thermos and high-calorie snacks like chocolate to keep your kids energized anytime.

[Introduction]: The third Pang Donglai store in Xinxiang has opened! Out-of-town friends who need to shop during the New Year's Day holiday can come to Xinxiang now! The newly opened third Pang Donglai store has a different design and positioning from the first and second Pang Donglai stores, but if your shopping purpose is specific, you can go to any of them. 🛬[Travel Tips]: If you're not driving, you can take a taxi to any Pang Donglai store; if you are driving, it's recommended to find a hotel with parking first. Hotels around Pang Donglai are relatively expensive, so consider hotels within 1-2 kilometers that are reasonably priced and not far from Pang Donglai. 🏨[Accommodation Tips]: Chain hotels are generally more reliable. This time, I stayed at the GreenTree Inn Xinxiang Laodong South Street Pang Donglai Store. The price per person was less than 100 yuan, which is great value for money. It's 1.8 kilometers from the first Pang Donglai store, and the hotel has convenient parking with its own parking lot. Breakfast is provided. Because it's close to Pang Donglai, you can easily have breakfast and then go to Pang Donglai without any time constraints. [Accommodation Address]: Intersection of Laodong South Street and Xiangyang Road, Hongqi District, Xinxiang, Henan Province

Starting from the source of Tianhe Waterfall, massive water flows freeze layer by layer, forming a super icefall cluster up to a hundred meters high. Under the sunlight, it glows with a faint blue light, known as the "Central Plains Icefall Wonder." Standing at the foot of the waterfall, looking up at this giant ice wall, you can truly feel the power of nature. Peach Blossom Bay Rime Frost Corridor: Walking along the Peach Blossom Bay boardwalk, due to abundant moisture, the branches of trees on both sides of the river are covered with crystal-clear rime frost (hoarfrost), resembling jade branches and leaves. Walking here feels like a dream. This is an excellent spot for photography. Hongshi River Ice Surface: Deep inside the scenic area, the slow-flowing Hongshi River forms a thick ice surface. Against the backdrop of red rock walls, it looks like a gem embedded in the valley. Kids can enjoy ice walking in designated safe areas (safety must be confirmed). 🚶 Family-Friendly Tour Route (One-Day Highlights) The Bali Valley scenic area is well designed and very friendly for families with kids, allowing an easy loop walk: Entrance → Shuttle Bus: There is some distance from the entrance to the core attractions, so it is recommended to buy shuttle bus tickets to save energy. Walking Tour Section: After getting off, walk along the trail from Peach Blossom Bay to Yangzhoudi to Tianhe Waterfall. This section is a gentle canyon boardwalk, with rime frost-covered trees on one side and ice-encrusted stream beds on the other. The whole walk with stops takes about 2-3 hours. Arrive at Tianhe Waterfall: This is the highlight of the tour. Spend time taking photos and appreciating the spectacular icefall. Return Options: Return the same way or take the sightseeing elevator (extra charge) up the mountain, overlook the canyon from another path, then take the shuttle bus back to the entrance. 🛌 Accommodation Options: Two Experiences Inside and Outside the Canyon For a deeper experience or to capture dawn and dusk scenery, staying overnight is recommended. Bali Valley Grand Hotel: Located inside the scenic area gate, it has the best location with a Chinese courtyard style. Open the window to see the Taihang Mountains, saving time on re-entry. New Century Grand Hotel Xinxiang: For higher accommodation standards, you can drive about an hour to this five-star hotel in Xinxiang city, with complete facilities and many dining options. Taihang Renjia Homestay in Huixian City: To experience local flavor, choose a characteristic homestay in nearby villages, such as those in the "Taihang Renjia · Sanhu Town" cluster. They are usually clean and tidy, offering authentic farmhouse dishes. Guoliang Village Homestay: If you have more time, it is highly recommended to extend your trip to the famous Wanxian Mountain (Guoliang Village), staying in cliffside villages to experience the real "hanging road" wonder. Recommended are the Guoliang Village Cliff Corridor Homestay or Wanxian Mountain Qingyouge Inn. 🍠 Warm and Heartening Taihang Cuisine Huixian Fried Pancakes: A local specialty, the pancake strips are chewy and paired with rich toppings, a quick and filling staple. Hutu Noodles: A thick noodle soup made from mixed grain flour, with wild vegetables and peanuts added, offering a unique taste and a warm feeling. Mountain Chive Stir-Fried Eggs: The wild chives have a strong aroma, and a simple stir-fry makes a very appetizing dish. Earth Pot Chicken: Cooked slowly over a wood fire stove, tender chicken served with flatbread dipped in soup is the most comforting winter feast. ⚠️ Key Tips for Winter Travel Anti-slip is crucial: Trails in the scenic area may have thin ice. Make sure both kids and adults wear anti-slip shoes or simple ice cleats. Keep warm but dress light: The mountains are colder than the city, so dress warmly. But walking generates heat, so use the "inner sweat-wicking, middle warmth-retaining, outer windproof" onion layering method for easy adjustment. Time management: Winter days get dark early. Enter the park early in the morning and start returning before 4 PM to avoid walking in the dark. Combo ticket discounts: Bali Valley is part of the Wanxian Mountain tourism area. Check platforms like Trip.com for combo tickets with Guoliang Village for better deals. Winter in Bali Valley is a quiet visual feast. It doesn’t have very high altitude or extreme cold, but it brings ice and snow art to the extreme. Bringing kids here is not just sightseeing but a vivid natural geology lesson. Watching children curiously touch ice pillars and observe the shapes of rime frost, you’ll realize that winter in the Taihang Mountains is so gentle and interesting.

If the icefalls of Baligou left you wanting more, then this winter self-driving loop connecting the three signature scenic spots of the Southern Taihang Mountains will open a new world for you. We spent three days and two nights, taking our child on an "ice formation-themed tour," from the giant icefalls of Baligou, to the icicles on the cliffside road of Guoliang Village, and then to the blue ice lake in Baoquan Gorge—each spot is breathtaking. This self-driving guide is perfect for families seeking depth and efficiency. 🗺️ Three-Day Winter Tour of the Southern Taihang Highlights Loop Day 1: First Encounter with Icefalls Morning: Arrive at Baligou Scenic Area and visit the core spots of Peach Blossom Bay and Tianhe Icefall. Afternoon: Drive to Wanxianshan Scenic Area (about 1.5 hours) and check in at Guoliang Village. Evening: Stroll through Guoliang Village, enjoy the cliffside sunset, and soak in the village’s tranquility. Day 2: A Frozen Fairy Tale on the Cliff Morning: Explore the heart of Guoliang Village—the cliffside road. In winter, water seeping from the cliff forms icicles of varying lengths, resembling crystal curtains that beautifully complement this man-made marvel. Walking through this section is a unique experience. Afternoon: Visit other Wanxianshan attractions like Tianchi Lake and Cliffside Homes, or drive to Qiugou Scenic Area (less crowded, with pristine ice formations). Evening: Stay another night in Guoliang Village or move to Huixian city center. Day 3: The Blue Ice Secret of the Gorge Morning: Drive to Baoquan Tourism Resort (about 1 hour). Baoquan is famous for its clear water and red cliffs. In winter, with reduced water release from the upstream reservoir, the pools like Emerald Sea downstream turn a deeper, serene blue. Some water surfaces freeze, and combined with the icicles on both banks, the scenery is cold and magical. Afternoon: After a relaxed visit, head back. 📸 Winter Scenery Comparison of the Three Major Scenic Areas Baligou: Features majestic icefalls. The highlight is viewing a concentrated, massive ice waterfall with the strongest visual impact. Wanxianshan (Guoliang Village): Features cultural icicles. The icicles decorate the human engineering marvel (cliffside road), blending cultural awe with natural delicacy. Baoquan: Features tranquil blue ice. The focus is on the jade-like blue lake water in the gorge, the ice layer on the surface, and the icicles on the shore, with rich color layers perfect for reflection photography. 🏠 Recommended Accommodations on the Loop (Each with Unique Charm) In Guoliang Village: Wanxianshan Guoliang Mountain Villa: Well located in the village center, some rooms offer mountain views, with relatively complete facilities. Cliffside Homes Guesthouse: A renovated old house right on the cliff edge, offering unbeatable views and a strong immersive experience, though facilities may be simpler. In Huixian City (for transit or enhanced comfort): Huixian Holiday Hotel: A good option in the city with convenient dining. Xinxiang Huixian Baiquan International Hotel: Higher-end, suitable for resting on the last night of the trip. Near Baoquan: Baoquan Tourism Resort Hotel: Most convenient if planning an in-depth visit to Baoquan, staying inside the scenic area. 🚗 Key Tips for Driving and Transportation Road Conditions: Taihang mountain roads may have snow and black ice in winter. Be sure to equip snow chains and travel on clear days. Some mountain roads have many curves, so drive cautiously and slowly. Vehicle Type: A regular family car is sufficient, but an SUV offers better passability. Navigation Settings: Set destinations in segments as "Baligou Visitor Center," "Wanxianshan Scenic Area (Guoliang Village)," and "Baoquan Tourism Resort." Non-Driving Option: Take the high-speed train to Xinxiang East Station, then charter a car for this loop. Though more costly, it’s worry-free and safe. 🎒 Gear and Itinerary Optimization Suggestions Photography Gear: Bring a polarizing filter (CPL) to effectively reduce reflections on ice and water surfaces, making the water’s blue purer and the ice texture more prominent. Kids’ Fun: Besides sightseeing, prepare a small notebook for your child to collect photos of different icicle shapes or draw the cliffside road to increase engagement. Alternative Plans: If energy is low on Day 3, skip Baoquan and enjoy easier hikes in Guoliang Village or Qiugou, or visit Huilong·Tianjie Mountain Scenic Area and take the sightseeing cable car to overlook the Taihang snow scenery. This loop showed us the multifaceted winter Taihang Mountains, combining strength and softness. It’s not just a name in geography textbooks but a tangible crystal, a walkable miracle, and an immersive blue secret. Taking your child on this journey brings not only beautiful scenery but also a direct understanding of "resilience" and "creation." This winter, drive to the Southern Taihang Mountains and embark on a date with ice and rock.
