Luoyang Longtan Grand Canyon | A hidden mountain secret missed by many
Located in Luoyang, Henan, it boasts unique natural landscapes and prices as affordable as elsewhere. It is said to be the first 5A-rated tourist attraction in China to go bankrupt, with the scenic area operating normally while the management company has gone bankrupt. One of the world's most beautiful canyons: a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, a world geopark, and one of the top forty most beautiful places in China as selected by CNN America. The Longtan Grand Canyon is a deep canyon formed by the downcutting of purple-red quartz sandstone by flowing water, stretching 12 kilometers long. Inside the valley, the ridges and narrow valleys are distributed like a string of beads, with clouds and mists swirling, rapids splashing, red rocks and green shades, and sheer cliffs. The clear marks of water erosion and rotary abrasion from different periods, as well as the rare spectacle of landslides and earth fissures caused by collapse, are rarely seen both domestically and internationally. The scenic area's five geological sections, six natural mysteries, seven secluded pools and waterfalls, and eight natural wonders are astonishing and make visitors linger and forget to return.

Jiyuan Qinlongxia has become popular, and next I hope it will be Luoyang Longtanxia!
This is the Longtan Grand Canyon in Xin'an County, Luoyang, an underrated 5A-level tourist attraction! This is my third visit, and it still feels fresh. I'm very grateful to the boat staff; after my drone crashed into the water, they helped me search and retrieve it by boat until it was found. The prices in the scenic area are very conscience, almost all at fair prices, without excessive markups just because it's within the scenic area. Moreover, you can exchange any empty bottles or other trash picked up in the area for a free bottle of water, which is very environmentally friendly. Such a scenic spot is worth recommending to you

After driving for three hours from Luoyang, you will come to Mount Emei, where the cultural heritage is deep and the natural scenery is pleasant. It is the unique Yunding Garden in the Central Plains, the first alpine meadow in the North, the geological gallery in the world, and the mighty Yellow River Grand View. The landscape area is composed of 480 meters of glass plank road, which gives a panoramic view of all the magnificent scenery.
Walking_Wild_Goose.
Thrilling, the foot is the abyss, walking on the transparent glass plank is shivering, a transparent glass walkway is built on the cliff more than 100 meters high on the cliff of Mount Emei in Luoyang. Walking on the transparent glass, the feet are sour, look around the mountains, do you dare to try?

Louming Sceneic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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.

A hidden country inn in Xin'an County
A hidden country inn in Xin'an County
Henan's cultural tourism is making a big move, and the cultural tourism bureaus of various cities in Henan are also fighting for every second to score points for Henan. Being in Luoyang City, Xin'an County also wants to contribute to Henan.
A newly opened inn located in Shiquan Village, Zhengcun Town, Xin'an County, also gives tourists who want to travel around but don't want to stay in the downtown area another choice. Here, you can look at the distant mountains with the Yellow River behind you, wake up in the morning by the bird calls in the countryside, and look out of the window to see a white expanse. Life is a wilderness, not a track, brave people enjoy the world first! Don't change the day, don't wait for the next time, don't say later, chase the scenery you want, then set off now!
The interior is minimalist in design, and outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows by the bed is a mountain view decorated with snow! A total of 20 guest rooms meet your different needs. There is also a restaurant here. If you live by the Yellow River, you have to taste the fish in the Yellow River and taste its unique flavor. The big sisters' own home-raised chickens and organically grown vegetables without pollution make the guests who stay in feel at ease and healthy and also have this rural atmosphere of farmhouse meals. There is also a book bar in the entrance hall. If you don't want to go out, you can also sit in the book bar area to cultivate your sentiment and taste the local mulberry tea. The leisure area behind is most suitable for outdoor hot pot, and it feels great to eat hot pot in the snow.
The inn is also very close to the surrounding scenic spots. It only takes 10 minutes to walk to the No. 3 viewing platform, 10 minutes by car to reach the Yunshui ferry on the Yellow River, 20 minutes by car to reach the Eagle Beak Mountain Scenic Area, and 50 minutes by car to reach the Longtan Grand Canyon. It also plays a role in transit. If you want to go to Luoyang, it only takes 30-40 minutes by car, which is suitable for our unhurried journey.
