Yaoshan---I borrow a breeze from the mountains to clear my worldly worries thousands of times over
Yaoshan was originally called Shiren Mountain, which should be a memory for many people from Pingdingshan born after the 1980s.
Yaoshan, located in the western part of Lushan County, Henan Province, lies in the eastern section of the Funiu Mountains. It is commonly known as Shiren Mountain because there are many strangely shaped rocks resembling human figures. The scenic area features towering peaks, a forest of bizarre rocks, ancient pines reaching the sky, strings of waterfalls, flowing springs, mountain flowers, red leaves, lakes, a sea of clouds, and rare animals, as well as numerous cultural landscapes, forming a complete scenic system. It is known as 'Zhongyuan's Unique Beauty' for its combination of 'majesty, danger, elegance, strangeness, and tranquility'.
To get there from Pingdingshan by car, just navigate directly to the Yaoshan Scenic Area parking lot, which takes about an hour and twenty minutes. After the Yaoshan toll station is the Yaoshan service area, where you can enter to view the Zhongyuan Big Buddha from a distance.
After buying tickets at the ticket office, you can choose to walk to the mountain entrance (about a 30-minute walk), or take a shuttle bus to the mountain entrance (the bus ticket is 35 yuan for a round trip). The entrance to the mountain starts with very steep steps (a total of 456 steps). The roads in the scenic area are all steps, some of which are very steep, with angles reaching 70--80 degrees.
The scenery in the scenic area is beautiful, but most of the view from the Queen Mother's Sedan to the West Viewing Platform is blocked by plants, until you reach the West Viewing Platform, where the view suddenly opens up and the charm of Yaoshan is displayed before your eyes. From the West Viewing Platform onwards, it's all about the scenery.
The Qinglong Back is definitely worth experiencing, and the best views of Yaoshan are also on this section of the Qinglong Back.

I want to come to Mount Lushan to look up.

There is a Lushan Mountain in Pingdingshan City, Henan Province. It was originally called Shiren Mountain because it was renamed after not listening. Lushan also has a rare and beautiful scenery, this mountaineering scenery is also a panoramic view. It has both the dangers of Huashan, the beauty of Emei, the beauty of Zhangjiajie and the show of Huangshan. It is a scenic spot for local must-have cards. In addition, the transportation equipment on Lushan Mountain is second to none in China. It not only has the longest imported cableway, but also has rich traffic experience such as slides and small trains. It is also an example for many domestic attractions.

The most famous of Lushan is the high-altitude cable car with a large span. It is said that all the cable cars are imported from Austria, and the difference is as big as flying in the sky. It is super fun! Come to Lushan and try it once!

Wandering in the mountainous area, the red-yellow color of the star point has already made people feel the slight autumn. There is not only the steepness of Huashan, but also the beautiful scenery of Huangshan Mountain. The atmosphere and delicateness coexist.
