Surprise! There's such a "Little Guilin" hidden in the North! Yuntai Mountain 2-Day Tour Guide is here~

Thought northern mountains were all majestic and desolate until I came to Yuntai Mountain! ⛰️ Now I know the North can also have such beautiful gorges and waterfalls! 💫 Absolutely comparable to the southern landscapes, every shot looks like a blockbuster! 📍 【Location Details】 - Address: Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province - Transportation: 🚗 Self-drive: About 1.5 hours from Zhengzhou 🚄 High-speed rail: Transfer to Yuntai Mountain shuttle bus after arriving at Jiaozuo Station 🌟🌟🌟【Top Scenic Spots Check-in Guide】🌟🌟🌟 1️⃣ Hongshi Gorge (Must-visit!) ✨ The face of Yuntai Mountain! Rare northern Danxia landform 🌋 ✨ Walking on the plank road, the red rocks and clear water are stunning in every shot! (One-way route, no backtracking~) 2️⃣ Tanpu Gorge (Summer cooling spot) A spring every three steps 💧, a waterfall every five steps 🌊 in this secret place Yazi Waterfall and Lover’s Waterfall are perfect for Hanfu photoshoots! Tips: Remember to wear waterproof shoes for water fights~ 3️⃣ Yuntai Tian Waterfall (Seasonal) 314-meter single-drop waterfall, the largest in Asia‼️ Best to visit from June to September when the water flow is most spectacular! (It might turn into a "small water curtain" in other seasons) 4️⃣ Zhuyu Peak (Great spot for panoramic views) Ways to the summit: 🚠 Lazy choice: Cable car up 🧗‍ Outdoor enthusiast: Hiking up The romantic poetic place described by Wang Wei as "everyone wears zhuyu except one"! 🎯【Best 2-Day Itinerary】 Day 1: Hongshi Gorge (morning) ➡️ Lunch at the shore service area 🍜 ➡️ Tanpu Gorge + Quanpu Gorge (afternoon) Day 2: Zhuyu Peak (morning) ➡️ Wanshan Temple for blessings (afternoon) ➡️ Return trip 💡【Practical Tips】 - The scenic area shuttle bus is free 🚌 - Remember to bring your ID card! ID card! Important things said three times 📢 - Must-have gear: Non-slip shoes, sunscreen, water bottle - The glass plank road is super thrilling! Not recommended if afraid of heights (tested myself, legs went weak 😱) Yuntai Mountain really changed my perception of northern landscapes! I can visit this hidden gem many more times!
