Hidden Gem of Henan

#2023TravelWish #nationalpark #mountainview #henanprovince #china Heard of Henan before? If you have, it’s likely for the Shaolin Temple or Longmen grottoes (check out my other posts for a review on those cultural highlights) but it’s not often that YunTai mountain is talked about as a must-go place. Situated in the north of the province, YunTai mountain not only hosts beautiful waterfalls, monkey trails and mountain top temples, but also the Red Rock Gorge. This really took my breath away with miles of stairs up and down the crevice with the characteristic… you’ve guessed it! Red rocks! The whole scenic area is easily accessible via tourist bus, cable car and boat!

Yuntai Shan, Monkey Kingdom! This is the place where you can meet these animals. They are accustomed to human but monkeys are monkeys, so, please, be careful, especially on the road going through the forest, where is complete wildlife area. Monkeys are not restricted and free to move anywhere. The precautions ate necessary. But our little brothers will be very glad to get a piece of bread from your hand. This visit was very interesting. It could be told thus place is too much cold for monkeys, yes, they are mostly met at southern provinces, not in central China, but these wild packs are adopted to the northern territories and feel very good.

Yuntai Mountain in January 2021. Winter adventure into the frozen mountain, a sight for sour eyes and a heart warming natural wonder. I weekend or even week day getaway for a family, for couples or for a solo traveler, having fun in the snow and taking Instagram worthy pictures of the frozen waterfalls. I enjoyed this outdoor fun experience in the cold and it was worth it. Dare to live, Dare to explore Life and it's wonders🌈🏖🏜🏞🌅 #unforgettableexperiences#wintergetaway#couplestrip

What a veiw. I was awestruck by this place. Wha a treasure to explore. What a priviledge to be able to experience it. I am blessed. Also, nature finds a way. Trees that can grow through slabs of rock never fail to impress me.

Yuntai Shan Geopark. Red Rock Gorge. The Geopark area is huge and contains several unbelievably amazing locations. Red Rock Gorge is one if them. Just take a scenic spot bus from entrance gate and proceed until next stop, there will be the beginning of path leading to the Red Gorge. The canyons are so beautiful! This is adventure that makes illusion you were transferred to Jurassic period. Red cliffs and blue water together created unique place.

There are mountains, waters, and you

Let's go on a trip on a whim! I intended to avoid the May Day peak, but it turns out that the weekend is still quite crowded. Yuntai Mountain has three major scenic areas, and tickets for entry and transportation are essential purchases. The total cost for three days is 180, which is quite a bargain. We stayed in the Cloud Top Service Area, where many homestays are very distinctive, with prices ranging from over 100 to four or five hundred. If you are not traveling in a large group, you can try your luck with accommodations when you arrive and find a high-value place to stay. Food is also convenient, with a street full of snacks! The prices are moderate, and for a scenic area, it's quite acceptable. Xiaozhaigou is suitable for planning a trip of half a day or more. The entrance to the scenic spot is great for eating, drinking, and taking photos. Xiaozhaigou has plenty of water, so don't forget the water guns if you bring children! Hongshi Gorge is crowded because the paths are narrow. There are not many places to linger in this scenic area because people keep moving forward. However, in this April, there are super many cicadas, a big feature, visible everywhere. When you enter the scenic area, the sky is full of cicada songs. At first, I thought it was a recording, but then I saw more and more little cicadas and realized they were real. I wonder what kind of microenvironment has attracted all the cicadas from the surrounding area to congregate here. For those who want to travel by cable car to visit Zhu Yu Peak and Phoenix Ridge, it is recommended to go up Zhu Yu Peak and down Phoenix Ridge! This way, you are going from high to low, and the whole journey won't be too tiring. If you want to have a good time, it is recommended to spend two full days. If you can spend three days, you might have even more fun. After all, the official 'daddy' gives us a three-day ticket validity, so three days should be the most scientific travel time! If your legs are still strong, this is a highly recommended scenic spot.

The Yuntai Mountain in Wang Wei's poetry is the most beautiful at this time!

Yuntai Mountain, the ancestor of the Five Sacred Mountains, is uniquely beautiful and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. As early as the Neolithic Age, there were ancestors living and multiplying here. Historical records show that during the Warring States period, the Yan general Zhi Bian once stationed troops and conducted drills here, which speaks to its long history. Standing on the highest peak of Yuntai Mountain, one can look far into the distance and see a continuous range of mountains, lush and green like ink, a full view of verdant scenery; up close, there are layers of overlapping ridges, with verdant pines and cypresses, and abundant flowers and plants; moving forward, there is a winding path leading to a secluded spot, revealing a world of its own.

Phoenix Ridge. This is also important part of Yuntai mountain geopark. Well, it is required efforts to climb there, but it worth it. One good news is there are mostly road for walking instead of steps exhausting the knees, so it is not so hard. The breathtaking view can't left anyone indifferent. The mountain had a glass bridge going around it like a serpent, that's very impressive. This is must visit if you are in Yuntai Shan, Jiaozuo city, Henan Province.

Its a romantic experience to climb the spectacular Phoenix Ridge and enjoy a breathtaking sunset. When the sun slowly falls, the red sunset, though not as dazzling as summer, is like a burning flame in the same group, illuminating every inch of land. The dazzling light sprinkled on the tree stalks in the distance, and the green trees were also reflected in the golden color. Under the shadow of the sun, it seems that the horizon is also set with a golden rim, but through the sky, people see unlimited hope.

Dreaming of Yuntai, chasing the Phoenix Ridge, ascending and descending. After a long climb, standing on the Phoenix Ridge, everything is so small and ethereal distant mountains, surrounded by enchanting clouds, like a romantic fairyland, giving people a dream Fantasy feeling. Walking into this wonderful natural scenery will also make you feel relaxed and happy.
