DAY1
1. Depart for Yunqiu Mountain in the morning
Try to choose the departure time in the morning, so the itinerary will be much more convenient. Like me, I departed from Wuhan Tianhe Airport, took a plane in the morning, and arrived at Shanxi Linfen Airport before 10:00 noon. Then you can rent a car at the airport and drive to Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area by yourself. You can also choose to take a taxi to Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area. It takes about 100 kilometers to drive from Linfen Airport to Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area, and it takes less than 2 hours.
2. Stay once in Kangjiaping Internet celebrity homestay
After arriving at Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area, you must stay in the B&B here, because the B&B is really worth experiencing! There is an internet celebrity B&B in Yunqiu Mountain called Kangjiaping B&B. Kangjiaping Ancient Village transforms the centuries-old ancient dwellings into cave-themed homestays with rich Shanxi characteristics, and cooperates with the architectural planning and design team of Dayin from Taiwan to implement the concept of "life-oriented" into Kangjia In the overall design of Ping Homestay, the original cave dwellings have been given new life.
There are about 100 homestays here, with prices ranging from one hundred to several thousand, suitable for the needs of all kinds of people. Although it is in the mountains and fields, the experience of this Internet celebrity homestay is no worse than that of the star hotels outside.
When you come to Kangjiaping B&B, you feel like you have returned to your own home. Even the slightest needs, just call the housekeeper and they will be satisfied as much as possible. The basic facilities here include: WIFI, TV, small refrigerator, electric kettle, electric blanket, hair dryer, handmade coffee pot, radio; butler services include: luggage storage, wake-up service, afternoon tea, fresh fruit plate; peripheral services: free Parking, restaurants, bars.
3. Lying on the hillside to watch the most beautiful sunset
After entering Yunqiu Mountain, although it is in the mountains, it still has a very wide view. After checking into the B&B, at the entrance of the B&B, you can find a small hillside and lie lazily on a chair to watch the sunset in the mountains. Such a comfort is worth our time to experience and enjoy.
4. Have a water banquet in the mountains for dinner
When you come to Yunqiu Mountain, you have to taste the delicacy "Water Feast". "Water banquet" is a banquet held in the old villages when there are major events such as marriage and childbirth. The water banquet is not only a meal, but also an opportunity for fellow villagers to exchange gifts and communicate with each other.
Therefore, in the evening, at the water table restaurant here, having a water table with friends is not a good opportunity to enhance the relationship!
5. Sit in the yard and watch the starry sky and have a chat
The first day must be tiring, so it is best to take a good rest in a mountain homestay. The homestay I live in has a small yard, so from evening to night, I can chat and play games with my friends in the yard. When it gets dark, you can see the stars and the moon when you look up in the yard.
DAY2
1. Climb Yunqiu Mountain once
Although we have already lived in Yunqiu Mountain the day before, it is still far from the real mountain top. So on the second day, it is recommended to pack up the equipment and prepare to climb the mountain like us!
Call the butler at the homestay to make an appointment for a car, and then a car will take us to the foot of Yunqiu Mountain. From here, there is a cable car to take! You can go directly to the top of the mountain by cable car, which is a blessing for lazy people. If you want to climb a mountain seriously, there are also very safe and interesting mountain roads that let us go straight to the top of the mountain.
2. Climb to the top of Yuhuangding once
Since it is mountain climbing, how can we not conquer the top of the mountain?
Yuhuangding is the highest peak of Yunqiu Mountain, with an altitude of 1629 meters. Looking east to Mashou Mountain Fuxiling, west to the winding mountains, south to the Hedong Plain, and north to the Luliang Mountains.
I am a lazy person, so I chose to take the cable car up the mountain. After I got off the cable car, I went directly to the small slope 600 meters below the foot of Yuhuangding, and then I could go directly to the mountain with small steps!
Climbing to the top of the Jade Emperor, looking up at the dome, overlooking the vastness of Yunshan Mountain, overlooking the leaping dragon, makes people open-minded and full of pride.
3. Take the challenge of crossing the Yuanyang Bridge on foot
The first peak of Yunqiu Mountain, Yuhuangding and the second peak, Zushiding, are two mountaintops worth checking in. Fortunately, there is a very convenient cableway up and down the mountain in the scenic area, which is convenient for tourists to choose freely.
There is a magical and spectacular mandarin duck bridge between the peaks. It is 219 meters long, 195 meters high and 2 meters wide. It is currently the longest and highest fully transparent high-altitude glass bridge in Shanxi Province. When the weather 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 extremely thrilling.
Such a challenging bridge, how can you not walk it once?
4. Explore the world's largest and rare ice cave group
After crossing the Yuanyang Bridge and taking pictures at the viewing platform of the Shenta, you can start to walk down the mountain, and you will pass the most representative scenic spot of Yunqiu Mountain in a short while: the ice cave group! Can you imagine that in such a hot summer, Yunqiu Mountain actually has a group of ice caves that are rare in the world?
That's right! When you come to Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area, the most worth seeing is the group of super large ice caves that are rare in the world. After 16 years of exploration and development, the Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave Group was officially opened to the public at the beginning of 2019. The Yunqiu Mountain Ice Cave Group is one of the world's three major ice cave wonders. It was formed three million years ago and is the largest natural ice cave group discovered in China so far. The walls of the cave are icy, and icicles, ice shoots, ice stalactites, ice stone flowers and other ice crystal landscape structures are distributed throughout the space. The world of fairy tales makes people linger and forget to return.
The ice cave stays below zero all year round, so when you go in, you must wrap it up tightly! Don't worry about this. At the entrance of the ice cave, the staff of the scenic spot prepared snow coats for us very thoughtfully.
5. Play an exciting ropeway hang gliding
After coming out of the ice cave group. There are ropeway yellow parachute, dryland skiing, high-altitude swing, water zip line and other items to experience at the door! The cableway hang glider has a total length of 490 meters. It flies over the forests, rivers and lakes at a speed of 10 meters per second, overlooking the green land and rippling blue waves. The adrenaline soars!
After getting down from the cableway hang gliding, there are dryland skiing, high-altitude swings, water ziplines and other items. These items can be played together, which can make your heart beat faster to fly! Believe me, this downhill road has fun items along the way, and playing all of them will definitely make you feel that this trip is worth it!
6. Go to the bar for a long island iced tea at night
After going down the mountain in the afternoon, there is also a car to pick you up, and you can go directly to the Kangjiaping B&B in the scenic spot. After returning to the homestay, take a good rest. There are even more fun experiences waiting for you at night.
After dinner, take a walk on the winding cave homestay path. In the evening, go to the folk bar here!
The bar is in the Kangjiaping B&B. There is a bar for bartending, a stage area, a dining area, and a private room upstairs. The lighting and sound effects here are also very good. It is highly recommended to drink a cup of Long Island iced tea here at night.
The happiness in the city under the mountain, we can also have it in the Yunqiu Mountain Scenic Area!
DAY3
1. Eat a Jiugongge breakfast at Shanzhenyuan
Living in the Internet celebrity homestay in the mountains, the breakfast is also quite stylish!

The waiter will take you to a table to sit down, and then serve a nine-square breakfast. There are fruits, meat slices, hair cakes, cakes, vegetables, pickles, eggs, etc. in the grid. It is quite rich. If you are not full, the waiter Will give you another one.
2. Go to the foot of the mountain to play bungee jumping and trapeze
At this point, do you think the exciting project experience is over? In fact, there are two more exciting projects at the foot of the mountain, that is, bungee jumping and trapeze!
In the morning, you can take a car to check in for these two projects! The bungee jumping tower here is the highest extreme challenge project in Shanxi. The total height from the ground to the highest point is 46 meters. Second.
This bungee jumping is exciting enough! If it's a little scary, there's a more modest project on the side: trapeze. This project allows people to be lifted to a height of 25 meters, and then enjoy the feeling of flying in the air.

At this point, my Yunqiu Mountain check-in route suitable for fun is over. Go back to the hotel at noon, pack your luggage, then drive down the mountain in a car, and say goodbye to Yunqiu Mountain!
As a traveler who dares to challenge, I experienced a very exciting tour in Yunqiu Mountain this time, which can be said to have brought a great impact to my senses!
