    💰A few hundred yuan per person, explore Laojieling, the roof of Central China Laojieling is a direct classroom of the Qinling-Huaihe line, a geographical dividing line, with scenery and experiences exceeding expectations! 🗺️Three must-see attractions: 1️⃣ Watershed 👣: The most breathtaking! Truly standing on the Qinling-Huaihe line, you feel like you're "stepping between north and south," with the vegetation and climate differences on both sides clearly visible—a geography textbook come to life. 2️⃣ Horn Peak ⛰️: The highest peak in Central China (2222.5 meters above sea level). The view from the summit is unparalleled, with a sea of ​​clouds ☁️, and the sunrise 🌅 is particularly beautiful, but requires some physical exertion. 3️⃣ Fairy Peak 🌲: The forest trails are tranquil, with strangely shaped rocks, perfect for leisurely walks and taking photos. ✨Facilities and Practical Tips: 🚗Transportation and Parking: When driving, be sure to select "South Gate Parking Lot" on your navigation app to avoid detours. Parking spaces are plentiful; for new energy vehicles, it's recommended to check the availability of charging stations in advance. 🍜Dining and Restrooms: Simple meals (noodles, sausages, etc.) are available at the mountain service stations; the taste is acceptable. 🚻Restaurants: Clean, but there may be queues for the women's restrooms during peak season. 💰Cost: Approximately 300-500 RMB per person (including entrance fee, 60 RMB for the scenic shuttle bus, and 130 RMB for the round-trip cable car). ⚠️Tips to Avoid: Wear non-slip shoes and bring a jacket; local farm-style meals are more affordable down the mountain; be sure to leave early on holidays! 💎In short, Lao Jie Ling is suitable for hikers who want to experience geographical wonders up close but are not seeking extreme challenges. The facilities were excellent, the pricing was transparent, and even kids could join in – it was a fantastic experience! 👍👍

    The following is a review of the Xixia Dinosaur Relics Park: Advantages - High scientific education value: As a national popular science education base, it has a large number of dinosaur egg fossils and some dinosaur bone fossils, which are of many types, large in number, widely distributed and well preserved. It can be called "the best in the world". It is an important base for studying dinosaurs and ancient geology, allowing tourists, especially children, to learn a wealth of paleontological knowledge. - Rich and diverse attractions: There are many attractions such as the Geological Science Square, the Dinosaur Egg Fossil Museum, the Dinosaur Egg Site, and the Simulated Dinosaur Park. The Geological Science Square is themed on the time coordinate axis, the Dinosaur Egg Fossil Museum displays rare treasures, the Dinosaur Egg Site can see the original buried state, and the dinosaur models in the simulated dinosaur park are lifelike.   - Strong sense of technology experience: It has the first dynamic 4D cinema and time-space tunnel in the Central Plains. Through sound, light, electricity and other technologies, it simulates a colorful natural environment, allowing tourists to experience the thrills of the Cretaceous period and understand the history of the dinosaur era. - Perfect scenic area services: The scenic area has complete supporting facilities, including a tourist service center, parking lot, star-rated public toilets, etc., and provides intelligent services such as voice guides and facial recognition. In 2022, it was also awarded the honorary title of Henan Province's Five-Diamond Smart Scenic Area. Insufficient - Some facilities are aging: Some infrastructure and exhibition equipment have been used for a long time, and there are aging and obsolete phenomena, which affect tourists' visiting experience. - The explanation service needs to be strengthened: The number of explanation staff is sometimes insufficient, resulting in tourists having to wait for a long time to get the explanation service, and some of the explanation content is not vivid and in-depth enough. - Peak period management needs to be optimized: During peak tourist periods such as holidays, there are many tourists in the scenic area, which is prone to congestion, and the parking lot will also be saturated, causing inconvenience to tourists.
