    "It is worth a visit. It is going to the west and north. Because it is late, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the final cable car. I basically only take the main road. I don’t see much of the attractions that need to be taken extra, but I can also feel the majesty and steepness of Huashan. Admiring those tourists who climbed the whole process, we climbed a few hundred meters from the West Peak, and we were tired. Fortunately, we walked to the North Peak behind, basically downhill."

    "The scenery of Taihang Mountain, the heart-shaped Grand Canyon ~ is not said, the mountains and clear waters are beautiful, and you can take photos as screensavers. Going in the off-season, there are not many people, and the package tickets bought are reasonably priced. It is a place worth coming again."
