    Perhaps because we went in winter, there weren't many people, and the mountains were all gray. The small waterfalls at Peach Blossom Pool were quite nice; walking down the steps took a little over an hour, which was acceptable. The glass walkway and the viewing platform at Dream Valley each cost 50 yuan per person, but they both seemed to be closed today. The first driver of the minibus we encountered asked us a question as soon as we entered. He didn't answer while driving, but rather abruptly patted the sign above his head: "Fasten your seatbelts, don't talk to the driver." We thought that made sense, so we didn't ask again. After all, it's a mountain road, and safety comes first. There were only the three of us on the bus, but he didn't talk to us, probably because he was listening to an audiobook while driving. With few tourists in the dead of winter, the job must have been quite monotonous. The second driver, who drove what looked like an electric cart, chatted with tourists from Shanghai while driving. For some reason, he didn't take us to Wangxiangyan. Remember to sit on the left side of the sightseeing bus for better views.

    Overall, it's alright. The environment is beautiful and comfortable, especially the gate, which is quite spectacular, haha. If you like archaeology and history, you'll find it interesting, as it provides a direct understanding of oracle bone inscriptions and the excavation process. It's pretty good, but the ticket price feels a bit expensive...

    The scenery here is very beautiful. The autumn in the southern Taihang Mountains is even more beautiful. In addition to the beautiful scenery and few people, I also appreciate the spirit of the Red Flag Canal, which was dug entirely by hand. Of course, the Youth Cave is more worth visiting. It is the backbone, character and pride of the Chinese people.

    This monumental site, with new facilities and access to the original tomb passage, is well worth the visit. The Cao Cao Gaoling Ruins Museum is a shining pearl of Three Kingdoms culture. Its majestic architecture and rich, diverse exhibits, including over 2,400 artifacts, tell the story of history, and engaging multimedia interactives, allow visitors to experience Cao Cao's vision and strategy while also promoting the inheritance and development of Three Kingdoms culture. It's a must-see for history buffs.

    It would be more interesting with an explanation. The Bagua formation is a unique feature; it's simple in some ways, but complex in others, requiring a long time to navigate. It's certainly entertaining. There are so many magpies, they're all over the roof beams!

    The old museum is better than the new one. You have to pay to enter the new one, and there is nothing to see inside. Just go to the old museum and buy a Yue Fei story to tell your children. There is no need to hire a tour guide, as it makes you dizzy.

    Anyang Tianning Temple is really nice! The Wenfeng Tower is so unique, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom like an upside-down vase, which is very rare. The tower is beautifully carved, and the sound of the wind chimes calms my heart. The temple is full of towering ancient trees, incense, and a great atmosphere. There are also many snacks around. After visiting the temple, come and have a bowl of flat noodles, which is great! You must check in here when you come to Anyang!

    The Hongqi Canal Youth Cave is a monument. Three hundred young people struggled in the most difficult natural environment and created an amazing miracle with an extremely strong spirit, completing the Hongqi Canal hub project, which is of great significance.
