Things to do in Dangshan

Today we visited all three scenic areas of the Han Dynasty Mausoleum. It was very impressive. The mausoleum was built by carving through the rocky mountain. The mausoleum is made entirely of stone, making it incredibly sturdy. The Queen's Mausoleum is the largest and has the most complex structure. It is definitely worth a visit. Friends who like historical architecture should definitely check it out.

Mangdang Mountain is located in Yongcheng, Henan Province. It is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot that combines natural wonders with historical heritage. As the "Han Culture Corridor", the scenic area has a rare group of Western Han Dynasty tombs in the world. The tombs of Liang Xiaowang and the Queen's Tomb were carved into the mountain and have exquisite structures. The "appearance" wonder of Liu Bang's Snake-Slaying Stele at night has been passed down for thousands of years; Confucius Mountain retains the remains of Confucius's teachings in the rain, and the Mangshan Temple is surrounded by smoke and fire, where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are integrated. In the unique limestone landform, geological relics such as ripples and fossils are like natural textbooks, adding a sense of humanistic depth to the mountains and rivers.

Mount Mangdang, which is only a little over 100 meters high, is regarded as the "place where the Han Dynasty rose" because of Emperor Gaozu's "uprising by slaying the snake". As the saying goes, "A mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals who live there; a river is not sacred because of its depth, but because of the dragons that live there!" The nearly 40-meter-high statue of Liu Bang stands majestically, with his clothes fluttering in the wind, showing the grandeur of the Han Dynasty!

Flowers in Dangshan are in full bloom for ten miles, but I am at a loss for words when I try to compose a poem. Don't laugh at the simpletons for their lack of knowledge, just blame the masters for running out of words.

The ancient city site of Dang County is located in Shanchengji, Mangdangshan District. It was the seat of Dang County and Dang County in the Qin Dynasty, and the city walls still exist. The existing rammed earth north wall starts 40 meters behind the bookstore in the west and ends at the northeast side of Mangshan Middle School in the east. It is 890 meters long and about 30 meters wide. The highest point is 2 meters. The east, south and west city walls are no longer on the ground. There are pottery making and iron smelting sites in the city.

⛰️The Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks—Mount Tai, the foremost of the Five Sacred Peaks! Experience the feeling of "Ascending to the summit, one can survey all the mountains below!" Today, I proved my perseverance and willpower. I set off from Hongmen at 8:30 am, hiking the entire Hongmen route alone, which took me 3.5 hours. I reached Nantianmen and met up with my family (who reached the summit in just over two hours, even faster than those who took the cable car). Together, we climbed to the top of Mount Tai, the Jade Emperor Peak. Little Mount Tai, conquered! 7863 steps for 1545 meters of scenery—worth it! Give myself a thumbs up for my courage, and a thumbs up for persevering despite a slight cold ♥ After descending from Jade Emperor Peak, I chose the most challenging yet most beautiful route, Peach Blossom Valley. Finally, it felt like a "two-step walk"! Before climbing, I thought I'd take the cable car down, but I ended up hiking directly down. No excuses, no complaints, just quietly taking each step, each step, each view. I even managed to run down the mountain – I'm quite impressed with myself! I arrived at the foot of the mountain at 5 PM. Actions speak louder than words; the 22km challenge of the Taishan Grand Loop, the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains, was a success! Youth has no price; Taishan is right beneath my feet!

It was so much fun! The performances were so entertaining, one after another, I couldn't stop watching. It's perfect for bringing parents to experience the atmosphere. There are lots of NPCs to interact with. The only downside is the park is huge, my legs were killing me!

It's very worthwhile, but it's also very crowded, which might slightly detract from the overall experience. However, the people are incredibly welcoming, and there are many beautiful spots for taking photos. The food is also affordable and inexpensive, which kids enjoy. I'll definitely go back when it's less crowded.

I had a fantastic time. I came to Banzai Mountain because of Dante, although I didn't get to see him in the end. The park itself is huge; even after three days, you can find something new every day. The NPCs in the park are all very friendly; they greet you whenever you see them. The food inside the park isn't overpriced, and drinks are mostly at full price. I'd definitely come back next time.
