tell me about this trip
"The ancient Kunlun in the countryside is steep and steep, and the south is off Luliang and Linshui Fen"
[Yunqiu Mountain] is a picturesque paradise. It has both beautiful scenery and human history, which is very suitable for leisure travel. Many people know the ancient city of Pingyao in Jinzhong, but they don’t know that there is Linfen Cloud in the adjacent southwest of Shanxi. Qiushan is such a good place; as one of the nine 5A-level tourist attractions in Shanxi and the highest peak in southwestern Shanxi, the beauty of Yunqiu Mountain will only be understood after you actually visit it once!
Yunqiu Mountain is rich in tourism resources and was developed relatively early. Not only is the transportation convenient, but also various supporting facilities are very convenient. The foot of the mountain is the intersection of the expressway. If you come from Xi'an, it only takes 2 hours to get there. And travelers from farther places don’t have to worry, Yunqiu Mountain is just in the middle of Linfen Airport and Yuncheng Airport, and it’s not too far from Houmaxi High-speed Railway Station and Yuncheng High-speed Railway Station; there’s no need to worry about traffic at all.
The beautiful Yuhuangding of Yunqiu Mountain is the highest peak in southwestern Shanxi, and it is also the place where Lao Tzu stayed when he traveled around the world.
"Soak goji berries in beer, make soup and dance"
Young people in today's cities are actually living a contradictory life. On the one hand, they want to keep healthy, but on the other hand, they have to continue to hurt themselves. So taking advantage of the weekend to take a vacation, I came to Yunqiu Mountain to seek a health-preserving trip. After all, the forest coverage rate of Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area is as high as 89%, and the content of negative oxygen ions is as high as 25,000/cm³. It is known as "ultra-clean area, natural oxygen bar, and health sanctuary".
The ancients said: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea! In addition to the beautiful scenery, the food of Yunqiu Mountain is also a great harvest during the trip. The selfless gift of the mountain allows me to enjoy healthy, hearty and delicious meals in this mountain forest, especially the handmade tofu and flowers that are characteristic of Yunqiu Mountain. Steamed buns are delicacies that cannot be eaten in the city. Many dishes look very vegetarian, but the taste is first-class. The point is that the price is very cheap. You can eat very well for 40 yuan per person. The price is very good. It is indeed very conscientious.
The accommodation in the mountains is also very good. Don’t look at Yunqiu Mountain, but its accommodation conditions can be compared with first-tier cities. This time, I stayed at [Kangjiaping Ancient Village B&B] in Yunqiu Mountain. When I first heard the name, I thought it was wrong. It's a farmhouse. After I came here, I found out that it is a very high-end holiday homestay cluster, especially the single-family building I stayed in. It was designed and built by Americans. The decoration style is a combination of classical and contemporary art. I like it so much.
"Picturesque, as beautiful as a paradise"
This is the summary I made when I came to Yunqiu Mountain for the first time, so how should Yunqiu Mountain play? I have to ask you to continue reading~
itinerary
The planning of Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area is very reasonable. Basically, you don’t have to go back and check out the entire scenic spot in two days. For office workers who only have two days off on weekends, the arrangement of leaving on Friday afternoon and returning on Sunday evening is really good. is just right. And my itinerary this time is like this
D1. Xi'an-Linfen-Yunqiu Mountain-Take the shuttle bus to Kangjiaping-stay at the B&B
D2. Entrance to Houshan—Jade Emperor Peak Cableway—Earth Temple—Yade Emperor Peak—Mandarin Duck Bridge—Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave—Take a bus to the Visitor Center for dinner—Take a bus back to Kangjiaping for check-in
D3. Take a bus to Qianshan—Talpo Ancient Village—Enjoy folk performances—Visitor Center—Homaxi High-speed Railway Station—Return
Preparation
Traveling is a pleasant thing, but it is also a tiring thing, especially the strategy and preparation before the trip, which is often the most tiring and troublesome thing, so I will share my experience with you here, I hope that you can have more fun when you travel to Yunqiu Mountain.
1. Long-sleeved trousers: Although the theme of summer is generally hot in China, there are two situations in the mountains that will make you use this equipment. In the ice cave of Qiushan’s signature scenic spot, people who are usually afraid of the cold can wear warm clothes.
2. Thermos cup: Mountaineering is a sport that requires a lot of physical strength. A thermos cup is particularly important. Drinking a little hot water when you are tired from mountaineering can help relieve fatigue and replenish lost water; and the temperature in the mountains Lower, drinking some hot water will help combat the low temperatures.
3. Shooting equipment: Yunqiu Mountain is dominated by vast mountain views. If possible, try to take a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens for shooting. Aerial photography is also necessary. The field of view of aerial photography is completely different.
Everyone has different needs and different departure places will choose different itinerary items. I can only list some of the most useful items as much as possible. If there are any shortcomings, please feel free to add.
Kangjiaping, the unique charm of living in a thousand-year-old village
Mountaineering travel consumes the most energy, so a good rest is the best guarantee for a good or bad travel experience, and I think the place with the best accommodation environment in Yunqiu Mountain is Kangjiaping.
Speaking of it, Yunqiu Mountain tourism can be divided into three parts: "ancient village, beautiful scenery, and ice cave". Thousands of years of history, surrounded by green trees, quiet environment, and unique Yunqiu Mountain folk style, whether it is photography or experiencing folk customs, it is a very good choice. It is true that every part of the village is full of scenery. It feels like time is slowing down here, and it is really great to enjoy the weekend.
The entire ancient village covers a huge area, and it takes several hours to walk around. There is a green lawn at the entrance of the village, where there are camping tents and large windmills. Don't miss it.
In addition to the beautiful environment and folk customs of these ancient villages, Kangjiaping Ancient Village is also the largest "homestay cluster" in Yunqiu Mountain. It is even considered a place with relatively good homestay development in Shanxi. The room I stayed in this time was designed and constructed by Americans, and the details of the single-family house are very good.
The point is that the traffic in Kangjiaping is very convenient. The sightseeing shuttle bus in the scenic spot is sent directly from the tourist center to the village parking lot, so even if you don’t live here, you don’t have to worry about it. As long as you buy a ticket, you can come here quickly.
The ancient dwellings with a thousand-year history, characteristic themed homestays, rich folk culture, and beautiful natural scenery are all places that attract me to the ancient villages of Kangjiaping, especially the alleys between these dwellings. Walking in them is very special. , as if traveling through a thousand years of history, let us taste the historical heritage of this place; and this place is located in the mountainous area of Yunqiu Mountain, so we should have a good time, right?
Check out the Yuhuangding Cableway, you can climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery
As mentioned earlier, [Yuhuangding] is the highest point of the entire Yunqiu Mountain scenic spot. Together with the ice cave, it is called "two wonders in the mountain". There is a high probability that you can see the wonders of the sea of clouds. The tumbling sea of clouds passes directly from the attic of the Yuhuangding. The tourists on it will have an experience of flying through the clouds, which is very wonderful~
Yuhuangding is more than 1,600 meters above sea level. There are two ways to go up the mountain: hiking and cableway. If you hike, the scenery is relatively richer. Families where the elderly and children play together are even more obvious. Therefore, I recommend that everyone take the cableway. This cableway can take passengers to the top of the Jade Emperor in only ten minutes, which is very convenient and fast.
However, there is also a Zushiding cableway at the entrance of the Yuhuangding cableway. The two cableways are too close to each other, so you must see clearly when you come here, so as to avoid going to the wrong mountain when buying tickets and riding. You must know the Zushiding There is still a long way to go to Yuhuangding~
It takes several mountain passes to run all the way up, and every time you climb the mountain, you will be presented with a surprise scenery in front of you. Taking a cableway is also a trip to enjoy the scenery, which is very profitable~
Climb to the Jade Emperor Peak and enjoy the magnificent view of the mountains
After getting off the ropeway, although you still have to walk up a few hundred meters of steps, thanks to the lush forests, this section of the road will not be very tiring. On the contrary, it is very pleasant with the cool breeze blowing; After passing a land temple, those who are interested can also visit it. I heard the locals say it is very effective~
In fact, for urban people in a sub-healthy state, proper mountaineering is a very good exercise, especially in places like Yunqiu Mountain, where the negative oxygen ions are bursting and the air is so good that there is nothing to say, it is worth visiting Walk.
Closer to home, let’s talk about [Yuhuangding], this attic building located at the highest peak of Shenlongling in Yunqiu Mountain, with an altitude of 1629 meters, when you walk up, you will see a “check-in point” at first sight, which says "You have walked 2799 meters", which represents the distance from the back mountain. Of course, if I take the cableway, the actual distance will be greatly reduced. Below it says "1629 meters above sea level", which refers to the height of Yuhuangding. Of course, whether it’s hiking or taking the cableway, you have to leave a photo when you come, right? haha~
The area of Yuhuangding is actually small, and the entire platform is only about a few hundred square meters. Its core landscape is the attic in the center. According to relevant literature records, this attic was first built in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and it has been nearly Millennium history.
The whole building is divided into three floors, and there is a step distance from the platform, which should be the meaning of Taoism to get close to heaven; it is indeed the same when you walk up. The first floor is the residence of the Taoist priests of Yuhuangding, and the second floor It is the Hall of Stars and the Hall of Wuliang, which enshrine the gods of the heavens. You can see that the incense burner is quite strong, and the incense burner outside the hall has never stopped.
The highest point is [Jade Emperor Pavilion], why should we focus on it? Because this is the highest point in the true sense of the entire Yunqiu Mountain, there is no place other than aerial photography that can match the view of this place, where you can experience the visual feast of "seeing all the small mountains".
Zushiding in the mist in the distance is the second highest peak of Yunqiu Mountain.
Aerial photography of Zushiding, this building looks very beautiful~
Moreover, the architectural art of Yuhuang Pavilion itself is also very exquisite. There are white marble fences around it and various exquisite patterns carved on the cornices. The colors are bright and it looks very beautiful.
Mountain trails, enjoy the charm of nature
The nearest Yunqiu Mountain is just holding the [Windmill Festival], so when you walk on the mountain trails, you will always see countless large and small windmills hanging on the side of the road. The colorful windmills rotate with the wind, which is also very beautiful. The beautiful scenery makes people feel much better on foot.
There are also trails on the ground, which are also painted in various colors. They are really cute and cute!
Of course, the most charming thing is the scenery of Yunqiu Mountain itself. During the 1.6-kilometer trail from Yuhuangding to the glass trestle bridge, you can see a variety of natural scenery. I didn't feel tired, but I kept taking pictures with my camera! Hahaha~
There are many trails like this in Yunqiu Mountain, so if you have a lot of time, I personally suggest that you can live here for a week and walk up the mountain every morning, which will definitely refresh your body and make your body healthier.
Mandarin Duck Bridge, an exciting experience under the romantic love story
There are many exciting entertainment projects in Yunqiu Mountain, and [Mandarin Duck Bridge] is one of them. This glass trestle bridge located on the mountainside of Yunqiu Mountain is just between the two core landscapes of Yuhuangding and Ice Cave. Passing the glass trestle bridge It can also save 600 meters of mountain trail distance, and go straight to the place where the ice cave is located. Such a beautiful and labor-saving project is naturally welcomed by the public and has become a famous Internet celebrity project in Yunqiu Mountain.
Many people may not know that the overall length of this mandarin duck bridge has reached 219 meters, and the vertical height is 195 meters. It is currently the longest + highest [fully transparent high-altitude glass bridge] in Shanxi Province.
The Yuanyang Bridge hangs between the two giant peaks of Yunqiu Mountain. The cliff walls of the two peaks are steep, and the middle rift runs across. When the wind is sunny, stepping on the glass bridge, you can have a panoramic view of the cracks in the canyon under your feet. Walking on it is like walking against the wind, which is very exciting; of course, what I prefer is when the clouds and fog rise, when the fog is filled Walking on the bridge to enjoy the scenery is like walking in the clouds, like a "cloud bridge".
Moreover, the Yuanyang Bridge is built with first-class technology at home and abroad. The bridge deck is wide and the bridge body is stable. Walking on it is a beautiful photo.
There is also a "cliff swing" next to it, the feeling of swinging is completely different, friends who like excitement, don't miss it!
Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave, a "miracle" left by nature
Regarding the trip to Yunqiu Mountain, in addition to the above-mentioned landscapes, I am afraid that this [Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave] left the deepest impression on me. It really makes people feel like a "miracle" experience. !
According to official information, [Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave Group] is one of the three major ice cave wonders in the world, and it is also the largest natural ice cave group discovered in China. That is to say, if you want to see ice caves in China, the best choice It is here, which shows its high status in the field of tourism.
The Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave belongs to "the geothermal negative anomaly ice cave with the most complex refrigeration mechanism". Until today, authoritative experts around the world have not been able to decipher the principle of its formation, so many people sum it up as a "miracle". In fact, when you actually come here to experience it, you will be as shocked as I am when you think about it. Why? Because one second you were outside the cave, it was still a high temperature of 30 degrees, and the next second you entered the ice cave, it was extremely cold at minus 10 degrees. Such a large span is really amazing.
Moreover, the Yunqiu Mountain Ice Caves have ice 365 days a year, unlike the underground ice caves in some places, which are divided into seasons, so the Yunqiu Mountain Ice Caves have become the natural ice caves with the most scientific research value and ornamental value. Especially when summer comes, it is really refreshing to buy a cultural and creative popsicle and enjoy the cool summer in the cave!
There are a total of 16 ice caves in the Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave Group. The No. 1 Ice Cave Group in Yunqiu Mountain is currently open. The total length of this ice cave is 199 meters. Only one person can bend over to pass through, and the walls inside the cave are icy, with various icicles, ice bamboo shoots, and ice stone flowers densely covered. It can be called a natural fairy tale world. Where does it need special polishing? Every shot is beautiful and dreamy.
Because the temperature in the cave is too low, remember to get a cup of hot tea provided by the scenic spot for free when you come out, drink it to warm up, and be careful of catching a cold
Entertainment items, enjoy the exciting experience under the scenery
After coming out of the ice cave, there are two exciting projects waiting for you at the door. The first thing you see is [Hang Gliding Wing]. Flying in the sky is different; as the first ropeway hang glider in North China, the total length of this zipline reaches 490 meters, and the whole flight takes nearly one minute.
This kind of zipline hang glider hangs passengers under the hang glider through a sling, and then rushes straight down along the zipline. The speed is very fast, so you can see that a parachute is added to slow down, which is also quite unique. The scenery is over, friends who like excitement must not miss it.
Fifty meters below the paraglider is another item popular among tourists in Yunqiu Mountain [Dry Land Skiing]. Here, a rainbow slope that can be used for skiing is created on the slope, because of its large inclination angle and fast speed. , high value and other advantages, it has also received unanimous praise from passengers.
At that time, I stood here for about ten minutes, and the tourists who experienced it really never stopped. They lined up to play one after another, which shows how popular it is. The point is that the price is very cheap, and it only costs 30 yuan to play. So here is also a strong Amway wave for everyone.
There is also a [water zipline] project under the rainbow slide. This zipline is 220 meters long. It dives down from a high place and flows along the water. Down a walking distance, have fun and save time and effort.
Mysterious Tarpo, an ancient village with a history of more than 2,000 years
Taerpo Ancient Village is located in the front mountain of Yunqiu Mountain. It is distributed along the stream in a narrow and long shape. Various characteristic dwellings are scattered in it. The total area is very large. In addition to the characteristic folk wedding performances, blacksmith shop experience and other projects, it is very playable. very high;
In particular, the more than 60 ancient cave dwellings in the village are known as "living fossils of Shanxi residential buildings". One of the most worthy spots in Linfen."
The aborigines of Talpo Ancient Village have been drawn out, and now there are professionally trained staff, so you don’t have to worry about it when you come to play. There is no problem with professional service, including housekeepers and so on. Everything is very good, the food, drink, entertainment, accommodation and transportation during the trip are all good.
Another bright spot is that the food and beverages in the village are really cheap. A bowl of porridge only costs 3 yuan, and a lotus leaf cake is only 3 yuan. Basically, the price of snacks is less than 10 yuan. It's a good meal for ten yuan. Of course, if you want to eat a big meal, it will be relatively expensive, such as the special "Yunqiu Landscape Seat", but the price is only 108 yuan, and it is no problem for 4 people to eat. You must know that this is a 5A-level scenic spot, and it is Is the thousand-year-old village the conscience of the industry?
There are also various small check-in spots in the village, such as characteristic ancient dwellings, old teahouses, and flower bun making workshops. If you have time, I suggest you take a stroll around, drink a bowl of special herbal tea, eat a time-honored sesame seed cake, and experience it yourself. Making a Huamo is definitely an unforgettable trip to Shanxi.
Talpo Ancient Village is indeed a conscientious check-in place. Tickets for the village are included in the tickets for the Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area. However, Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area is currently open for free, so there is no need to buy tickets separately here, compared to spending 20 You can visit this beautiful ancient village by buying a shuttle bus for only one yuan. Isn’t it great?
The cultural experience of Talpo’s wedding customs, the unique folk customs are wonderful
In this kind of quaint village tour, in addition to looking at the buildings and eating food, the most important thing is to experience the "folk culture". Therefore, there is one of the most exciting performances in Talpo that you can't miss, which is the [Ta Marriage in Erpo] link, this immersive experience program brings the audience into the plot, completes this beautiful wedding with everyone, allows the audience to participate in it, and understands and experiences the folk customs of the Yunqiu Mountain area more intuitively. It is very exciting, and the public's recognition of the program can be felt from the uninterrupted applause and applause throughout the process.
The marriage ceremony in Talpo ancient village is different from that in other places. The unique local reproductive culture worship has long been a unique marriage custom process, and it has also increased a lot of knowledge after watching the whole process; the actors completely showed the process of a local wedding , not only there is a matchmaker to accompany the relatives, the master of ceremonies leads, and even the parental teaching link, the realism is directly perfect, which is great~
It is said that "Suona is the king of all kinds of musical instruments". In this program, everyone can feel the charm of traditional musical instruments. In addition to being good at Suona, the old artists on the scene are also playing the erhu, playing the guqin, and beating gongs and drums. Wonderful, these traditional cultures are still a very good experience, definitely worth your visit~
After successfully sending the couple into the bridal chamber, there is still a "bridal chamber" link. Of course, the bridal chamber here is not nonsense, but the old man presides over the normal custom process. It is still very interesting~
After finishing the work, there will be a song and dance performance in the square. I have to say that these mountain people are indeed talented. Although they have not received any professional systematic training, they have a natural and good voice, and singing folk songs is really good!
Leaving Yunqiu Mountain, the beautiful scenery, see you next time
The short two-day trip has come to an end here, but the love for [Yunqiu Mountain] has just begun. It is indeed a good place, with beautiful mountains, water, and people. Although it is a 5A scenic spot, the price is cheap. The scenery Beautiful and convenient transportation, the tourist experience is at the forefront among many scenic spots in Shanxi; although this time the itinerary was very short due to my own time, and I did not calm down to experience the beauty of Yunqiu Mountain, but I am still willing to give it five stars Praise, and I hope that I can stay a few more days when I come back next time, which can be regarded as an excuse for myself to leave regret and start again.
I like to travel, and I don’t want a stable life to make me boring. Thank you for the beautiful scenery of Yunqiu Mountain. I look forward to seeing you again next time~
