Things to do in Wuzhi

With crowds everywhere during the National Day holiday, we opted for a park instead. It was a pleasant surprise – less crowded, less tiring, beautiful scenery, and even a museum! It was perfect for families with both parents and children, each with their own interests. I highly recommend taking the park shuttle bus; it's very convenient. The cable car round trip for 50 yuan is also a great deal.

Hongshixia Gorge, with its red rocks and emerald pools, is a deep and secluded canyon and a must-see in Yuntai Mountain. Yuntai Waterfall boasts a spectacular cascade, offering an exceptional experience during the high-water season. The scenic area relies on sightseeing buses to transport visitors between attractions. Hongshixia Gorge is particularly crowded during holidays, while the popularity of Yuntai Waterfall depends on seasonal water levels. Overall, it's a highly representative example of the Taihang Mountains landscape. The attractions are scattered, requiring the use of sightseeing buses for connectivity, but it's definitely worth a visit to experience the beauty of the Taihang Mountains.

Jiaying Temple is located in Wuzhi County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province. It is a temple of the Dragon King of the Huaihe River, which integrates palace, temple and government office. It was built in the first year of the Yongzheng Period of the Qing Dynasty (1723) and covers a vast area. It is known as the "First View of the Yellow River" or the "Little Forbidden City of the Yellow River in the North". When you enter Jiaying Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the official buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties with red walls, green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. The architectural style is unique and rigorous. The mountain gate, the Imperial Stele Pavilion, the Yan Palace, the Great King Hall and other buildings are symmetrically distributed on the central axis, showing the style of the royal garden and the essence of ancient architectural art. In the Imperial Stele Pavilion, the bronze stele written and inscribed by Emperor Yongzheng himself stands tall, recording the whole process of river management and expressing his hope for a peaceful and clean sea and river. The architectural style of Jiaying Temple is unique, with the style of a royal garden, carved beams and painted buildings, raised corners and flying eaves, rich decoration and exquisite craftsmanship. Jiaying Temple is also a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and is listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

I love Henan so much! It helped me understand and get to know Henan. The young lady who gave me the tour was very professional, and I really liked her. In short, this trip to Henan was definitely worth it!

This scenic area is very well managed, with a very clear route. Starting from Cliffside, the path leads all the way to the Grand Canyon, with clear signage and no backtracking. Baoquan Scenic Area is definitely worth a visit. Its viewing platform has been listed as a must-see in one's lifetime by China National Geographic magazine.

The square of the statues of Emperors Yan and Huang is very large. Standing on a high place, you can see many distant scenery around. Before the statues of Emperors Yan and Huang were hit by swords, there were many statues of famous people, such as Laozi, Confucius, Dayu, and many other ancient celebrities.

There were not many people during the day, and the place was not big. After 5pm, there was a performance and people gradually started to get more people. The light show at night was very exciting. It is recommended to buy a ticket to watch it. After the light show, there was a performance of Lanling King's Battle Song and a bonfire for free.

It was very crowded when I went during the National Day holiday, and there were quite a few people taking the night tour as well. I would recommend the night tour, as the lights make it easier to see many of the large Buddha statues and it's not too sunny. Overall, it's not as large as the Mogao Grottoes.

It was alright, not as good as I expected. The soup dumplings inside, made to order and steamed fresh, were quite delicious (4 for 13 yuan). However, they lured us in a little after 6 pm, and the waitress who took our order told us they closed at 6:20 pm… and about ten minutes later, they turned off some of the lights 😄😄

Good, I strongly recommend everyone to come and play, good, good, very good! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
