I took my niece, who just became a university student, on a self-driving tour to Yuntai Mountain
In the dawn, we embarked on a fascinating self-driving journey from Zhengzhou, with our destination being the fascinating Yuntai Mountain. The scenery along the way was picturesque, and the tour route was very well designed, allowing us to fully appreciate the wonders of nature.
At half past seven in the morning, we left Zhengzhou by car, enjoying a delicious breakfast on the road. We arrived at the foot of Yuntai Mountain at nine o'clock, and it is recommended to navigate directly to the shore service area to buy tickets for entry. Remember to carry your ID card with you, as each scenic spot requires an ID card for entry, but if you forget, you can also get a paper ticket on site.
The ticket price is 120 yuan per person, valid for three days. University students can enjoy a half-price discount, but they need to show valid proof, either a student ID or a proof from the student credit network. In addition, the bus fare is 60 yuan per person, which is a necessary expense during the tour. The park bus is considerate and convenient, with direct access to each scenic spot.
Hongshi Gorge was our first stop. We took the bus directly to Hongshi Gorge at half past nine. The whole journey was 2 kilometers, and the beautiful scenery along the way was all in sight. The tour route here is very cleverly designed, like a wonderful journey up and down the mountain, with beautiful scenery everywhere, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. I especially recommend taking photos by the water, the effect is outstanding, and the whole tour process takes about 1.5 hours.
At 10:50, we left Hongshi Gorge and took the bus to Xiaozhaigou, in the direction of Monkey Valley. Watching the wonderful performance at 11:00 in Monkey Valley became our next itinerary. There are two choices here, either hiking up the mountain or choosing the jungle slide, 20 yuan for going up, 40 yuan for going down, and 50 yuan for going up and down. Although the speed of the jungle slide is slow, the experience of going down the mountain is very exciting, and I highly recommend it. The entire tour time in Monkey Valley is about 0.5 hours.
After leaving Monkey Valley, we went to Quanpu Gorge and chose the 10 yuan round-trip electric car at the door, which is time-saving and labor-saving. Along the way, the small waterfall was gurgling, and the scenery became more and more charming all the way to the end, which is Tiantai Tianpu. It is recommended to visit again in the season when the water flow is large, the effect is better. The entire tour time is about 1.5 hours.
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, we had a meal at the door. As we are locals in Henan, we didn't think about eating local specialties, so we chose Dicos and took a short break. If you have plenty of time, you can also continue to visit Tanpuquan.
At half past three, we left Xiaozhaigou and took the bus to Phoenix Ridge Cableway. Although the cableway lasts for ten minutes, the glass plank road is our missed regret. After getting off the cableway, we chose to hike to Zhuyu Peak, a total of 2.5 kilometers. Although we climbed quickly, due to the strong wind, the park staff reminded us at around six o'clock that the cableway was about to close, so we hurried down the mountain. It is recommended that if you are tired from climbing in the morning, you can choose to take the cableway up the mountain from Zhuyu Peak. At twenty past seven, we returned to the visitor center, ready to return to Zhengzhou, and arrived home smoothly at half past eight.
Although there are some scenic spots that we have not been able to visit, the overall feeling is very good. The beauty and grandeur of Yuntai Mountain left a deep impression on us. We hope that our tour route can provide some small references for everyone, and wish everyone a happy time in Yuntai Mountain!
Parents are free of tickets, but they need to buy tickets, because the scenic spot is too big, you have to take a long bus, and you can use three days, bundle your ID card, and then you can brush your face to enter, which is more convenient. The entire Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area is relatively scattered. On the first day, I went to Xiaojiuzhai and Hongshixia. On the second day, I went to the peak and Fenghuangling, and I could end the trip. The landscape here is still pretty good-looking.
Yuntai Mountain has mountains and waters, and there are various geology. It is worth playing once. Yesterday, I went to play Xiaojiuzhai. The farthest Quanpu Gorge takes about three hours to go all the way. The Gaode map only shows that there is one more point at a time. It is actually a straight line distance, and then I went to Tanpu Gorge. The scenery is not as good as the Spring Waterfall Gorge, and the macaque island did not go, which feels a bit of a waste of time. The scenic spot is too big to go without buying a ticket.
The best scenery of Yuntai Mountain is Hongshixia, Zifang Lake and Xiaozhaigou. If you are a day trip, you can play all three attractions. You can have lunch in Xiaozhaigou at noon. It is very convenient to have Dix and KFC. You can buy it while walking. It is rare to have KFC in the scenic spot.
Yuntai Mountain is very good. I bought tickets to enter and exit the scenic spot for two consecutive days. The main content of the play is mainly landscape. The peak can climb the mountain, the Hongshi Gorge can have green water. There are Changsheng Spring and Bulao Spring in the other two Gorges. You can see a big waterfall at the end, and there is a macaque valley in the middle. You can feed the monkeys, and there will be macaque performances at fixed points every day. If you like excitement, you can also spend money to play high-altitude crossing projects. The accommodation conditions near the scenic spot are average, but the price is not expensive. Most of them can park for free, just suitable for coming to play and sleep.
In fact, Yuntai Mountain is generally divided into three scenic spots, one is Hongshixia Zifang Lake, one is Fengfeng Phoenix Mountain, and the other is Xiaozhaigou. Xiaozhaigou is also divided into Tanpuxia Spring Waterfall Gorge Monkey Valley. Personally recommend the canyon with Yuntai Tianpu Waterfall, the scenery is very good. I hope the staff's service will keep up to deserve such a good view
When you come to Henan, Yuntai Mountain is the most worth checking in. The scenery of Yuntai Mountain has its own beauty all year round. The flowers are full of mountains and wild in spring. In summer, you can come to play in the water to escape the heat. In autumn, the red leaves are like colorful clouds. In winter, there is an ice and snow festival. It is like entering a fairy tale world. And the service attitude is very good, it is worth seeing!
Ok, what macaque valley is not very fun, except for a circus performance, other people did not see the head (a few monkeys, peacocks) when the Red Rock Gorge went to the crowd, it was very tired to walk, others because they were with children, so they were all by car, cable car (glass plank road) elevator (Redstone Gorge bottom to go up the stairs for more than half an hour) This is quite tired.
The special landform of Yuntai Mountain is worth taking children to enjoy the experience. The three major theme sections have their own characteristics. Leave some time in Yuntai Mountain and slowly feel the unique gifts of nature. Let the whole body and mind have a qualitative improvement. The meaning of travel is roughly like this! The local government in Henan is also very friendly. There is no slaughter phenomenon in the scenic spot and the price is very fair. This once again increases the experience and happiness of travel! Yuntai Mountain is a good choice for Spring Festival travel!
