Luoyang, Henan, has a super secret hiking spot: Louming Cliff

🏜️Louming Cliff in Xin'an County, Luoyang, the place where Luo Binwang lived in seclusion, is a dazzling pearl embedded in the ground. The rock wall is only a few meters thick at its thinnest, with both sides cut like a knife and axe, like a stone screen. You can climb to the top of the screen using both hands and feet from the small road, looking south at the stone cliff and north at the green water, suitable for leisurely climbing for hiking beginners. ⛰️A very typical karst topography, the grand and spectacular water-eroded limestone, adds a sense of mystery with the traces of years. It used to be a paid scenic spot, but it is estimated that it was too remote and the road was hard to find, so few people went there and it was very wasteful. ⛰️There are only two roads in the mountain, one is the mountain road that leads directly to the natural small waterfall at the bottom of the mountain. The temperature at the bottom of the mountain is very low, and the flowers and plants have all formed ice beads, and the waterfall has also become an ice hang. The mountain road is not easy to walk, so you must wear sports shoes! 🌊Coming out of the waterfall at the bottom of the mountain, there is a road on the right hand side that leads directly to the back of the mountain, which is the scenic spot sign Louming Cliff. The photos are very good, you must use a wide angle. There is a mountain god on the mountain, out of awe, I did not take a photo. Behind Louming Cliff is a small reservoir with very deep and green water, which is very beautiful. There is also a temple that is not open. You can go and see when you have time. There are very few people going there, it is very quiet and very suitable for relaxing, drinking tea and dazing on weekends.
