Off-Season Guide｜Who Understands the Joy of Visiting Yuntai Mountain During Off-Peak Times

Really👉 This season is truly perfect for visiting Yuntai Mountain! 🍁 I still remember when I came as a student, it was so crowded that I couldn’t fully enjoy the beautiful scenery 😭 Last weekend, I revisited with my wife during the off-season—fewer people, stunning views, and every shot looks like a masterpiece! 📸 🎯 Here’s the essential one-day tour route guide: 📍 First stop: Hongshi Gorge (Address: Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City) 🚌 Take the scenic area shuttle bus directly there, with waterfalls splashing and unique rocks all along the way—absolutely breathtaking scenery ✨ ⏳ Recommended visit time: 2-3 hours 💡 Tip: Wear non-slip shoes! The canyon can be a bit slippery 🍽️ Lunch recommendation: Farmhouse restaurants at the scenic area exit, about 40-50 RMB per person Try the Xiuwu specialty Huimian noodles! Warm and comforting ♨️ 📍 Second stop: Tanpu Gorge (inside Xiaozhai Valley Scenic Area) 💦 Delicate and exquisite waterfall clusters, quiet and less crowded 📷 Popular photo spots: Pearl Pool Waterfall + Lover’s Waterfall ⏳ Visit time: 1 hour is enough～ 🌄 The highlight is here! 📍 Third stop: Zhuyu Peak Sunset (Altitude 1297.6 meters) ⚠️ Note: 1. Transfer time is strict! The latest bus departs at 16:00 🚌 2. Winter sunset is around 17:30 🌇 🏯 There is a Taoist temple at the summit to check in, and the ancient architecture under the sunset is super atmospheric～ 👔 Dressing guide: Onion-style layering 🧅 (big temperature difference) Warm gloves + scarf are a must (it’s very cold at the summit!) 📷 Photo tip: Wear a yellow top + blue hat and take a silhouette photo in front of the temple The sunset stretches the shadow long, creating a full vibe 💯 💼 Must-have items checklist: ✔️ Thermos ✔️ Power bank ✔️ Non-slip hiking shoes ✔️ Umbrella/sunscreen (for changeable weather) Follow Bei Qiu Travelers
