奇峰云海In the suburbs of Sanmenxia, Shanzhou District, formerly Shan County, is about 20 kilometers away from Sanmenxia city. It is my second time there. There are more tourists during the National Day than usual, but it is much better than the crowded popular scenic spots. The parking lot is large enough, but it is barely enough to park during holidays. The troglodyte courtyard is a unique landform in the country, but the scenic area is relatively simple. There should be more performances on major holidays such as the Spring Festival and National Day. It takes an hour and a half to visit in total, which is suitable for the way back to the city from the northwest to the east.

M73***94It's a man-made structure and unfinished. The core attractions are a bit far from the main entrance. The quality of the performances could be greatly improved. The performances at Laozi Square were completely irrelevant and I hope they can be improved.

富得🥑油The Sanmenxia Dam spans Henan and Shanxi provinces. Standing on the viewing platform, one can see the Yellow River sometimes roaring and sometimes flowing calmly, with the Pillar Stone standing tall in the middle of the rapids, showcasing the grandeur of "the Yellow River's waters coming from the sky." If the dam is being released during flood season, the spray rises into the sky, sometimes creating rainbows, maximizing the visual impact. The Yellow River Exhibition Hall within the scenic area houses a large collection of old photos and artifacts, recreating the construction scenes of that time. The elderly will find it relatable, while children can intuitively understand the hardships of the project. Dayu Park, themed around water management culture, is shaded by trees and features sculptures, allowing visitors to experience the profound cultural heritage while relaxing.
