Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area

Anonymous User
Peach Blossom Valley, Huanglongtan scenery is particularly good, Taihang Mountain leaves the most beautiful scenery to Henan. Taihang Tianlu will be more beautiful in summer. Now it costs a lot. There are not too many people on the first day of the holiday. The experience is better. There are mountains and waters.

The Red Flag Canal Scenic Area

As a tourist, I have a very high opinion of the Red Flag Canal. First of all, the historical significance of the Red Flag Canal is shocking. It is not only an important project during the Chinese revolutionary struggle, but also a symbol of the Chinese nation's indomitable and self-reliant spirit. During the tour, I deeply felt the hardships and efforts of the peasant soldiers in building the Red Flag Canal, and this spiritual power inspired me. Secondly, the natural scenery of the Red Flag Canal is beautiful. It is located on the Loess Plateau, with magnificent mountains and rivers, clear canal water and shady trees. Standing by the canal, the breeze blows on your face, as if you can hear the firm labor songs of the year. Every scene here makes people linger, especially the unique 100-meter-long waterfall, which is even more amazing. Furthermore, the Red Flag Canal has complete tourist facilities and convenient transportation. During the tour, I received professional explanations and guidance, and had a deeper understanding of the historical background, construction process and spirit of the Red Flag Canal. At the same time, the scenic area has also set up a number of revolutionary sites and red memorial halls, allowing us to experience the charm of red culture in person. In addition, I also participated in the Red Flag Canal's red cultural experience activities, such as crossing the Red Flag Canal mountain area and tasting local farm dishes. These activities brought me closer to the spirit and life of the Red Army, and also gave me a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the Red Flag Canal. In short, the Red Flag Canal is a tourist destination that combines historical significance, natural scenery, and red culture. It not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificence of nature and human wisdom, but also gave me a profound baptism and sublimation in my heart. I will share this unforgettable experience with more people, so that they can also feel the charm of the Red Flag Canal.

Hongqiqu Youth Cave

On the weekend, our family went to the Red Banner Canal to visit. When entering the scenic spot, the first thing that came into view was the Red Banner Canal Memorial Hall, which displayed a large number of precious photos, models and cultural relics, which vividly showed the hard journey of the people of Linxian County to build the Red Banner Canal. From these exhibits, I seem to see people chiseling stones on the cliffs and opening canals, and feel their spirit of hard work and tenacious struggle. Then we came to the Youth Cave, which is the throat project of the Red Banner Canal. The hole is 616 meters long, all of which are extremely difficult blasting projects. Standing in front of the youth cave, looking at the towering peaks and deep hole openings, I can't help but admire. In that year, 300 young people formed a commando team, under extremely difficult conditions, after a year and five months, finally chiselled Taihang Mountain through. They wrote a magnificent song of praise with youth and sweat. In Hongqi Canal, I deeply experienced the spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, solidarity and cooperation, selfless dedication". This is an unforgettable journey of the soul, so that I can cherish today's happy life.

In the early morning, we drove to Linzhou Peach Blossom Valley, surrounded by mountains and pleasant scenery. Just entering the scenic spot, we were attracted by the beauty of the scenery. Follow the rugged stone steps at the bottom of the valley, the stream is crystal clear, and the fish travel freely in the water. The trees were lush and the air was fresh. Continued, we came to the "Peach Blossom Pool Falls", which poured down from high places, splashing like silver snakes dancing, majestic. Not far from the "Jiulian Waterfall" is even more spectacular, nine waterfalls in a row, scattered, the water flow is rapid, like a natural ink painting. Climbing along the plank road, we also saw the wonder of the "two dragons play beads", the water poured down from both sides of a boulder, shaped like two dragons playing a pearl, amazing. Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking, the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Valley has a panoramic view, the mountains are rolling, the stream is gurgling, as if in a fairyland on earth. The beauty of Peach Blossom Valley is lingering, there are not only spectacular waterfalls, but also clear streams and strange mountain stones, each place makes people feel the magic and beauty of nature.

The Peach Blossom Valley of the Grand Canyon is very beautiful. Tianlu is very far away, about an hour to and from, you can go up to more than 1,300 meters above sea level by car, climb high and look far, and the experience is also great. The traffic in the scenic spot is very good, the fare is very cost-effective!

The Baquan Gorge that I had been longing for finally came. This time I drove from Shanxi to bring my parents to see the Taihang Mountains. I drove from Changzhi. The scenery along the way was also very beautiful. The cable car experience was very good. The route was very long, and you could also see the beautiful alpine lake. The scenery was very good and I was very satisfied.

My secret to staying young: lying about my age O(∩_∩)O I felt nothing inside, and even wanted to eat a little bit, fried chicken, tofu, spicy hot pot, hot and sour rice noodles, lean meatballs, chocolate, pudding, kimchi, barbecue, rice with toppings, hand-pulled pancakes, gluten, duck neck...

Tongtian Gorge Scenic Area

We suggested hiking up the mountain in Tongtian Gorge and taking the sightseeing bus back, which was the most reasonable arrangement suggested by the on-site staff. We had previously bought a 170 yuan ticket on other platforms (including tickets + Qianchijian cruise + round-trip cableway + one-way sightseeing bus), thinking that people over 65 years old could get free tickets. As a result, when we arrived at the ticket office, we were told that the elderly were old and needed to buy a 10 yuan insurance, so we paid 10 yuan on the spot. Then we took the Qianchijian cruise and placed an order for 50 yuan each time from the staff's QR code, which is this platform. Later, we bought a round-trip cableway for 100 yuan. After taking the round-trip cableway, we had basically played enough, so we went back and bought a one-way sightseeing bus for 10 yuan. In this way, the elderly did not save any money and paid 170 yuan as well. If we knew this was the case, we would have just bought the 170 yuan ticket. There was no need to buy them one by one.
