At 7: 30 in the morning, leave Chaoyangmen and go north. Take Huaqing Road West-Qingqing (Huolian) Expressway, 9.0 1, Baqiao entrance, Tongguan exit, 55 yuan. 1 1.4 1 Luoyang East Exit, pay 100 yuan. Actually, you don't need to get off here. You can take the next exit to the east, get on Erguang Expressway (Luoyang-Jiyuan), change to Jiaowen Expressway (Jiaozuo-wen county) in Jiyuan, and arrive at Jiaozuo South on 12.45. After paying the fee in 45 yuan, you can get off and enter Jiaozuo city, and drive along the signpost to Yuntai Mountain. Because there are many municipal construction projects in Jiaozuo, the speed is slow. 2.30 Arrive at the crossroads of Grand Turntable, 8 kilometers away from the scenic spot. There is a large gas station in the northeast corner. The road sign in the middle of the turntable reads: 8 kilometers east to Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. Remember: live in a farmhouse, don't go straight. This is a newly opened mountain gate to ease the congestion of tourists during the Golden Week, which is more than 0 km away from the mountain gate 10. You should turn left along the road and enter Yuntai Mountain Villa. You should pay 10 yuan at Xiuwu Wanzhuang Toll Station. Turn left after crossing the bridge and enter the scenic spot. The mileage is 520 kilometers.
2. Accommodation and catering:
The gate of Yuntai Mountain is on the shore, and the opposite villages are farmhouses, and every family runs a hotel. Ordinary rooms in 40 yuan on weekdays (Sunday to Friday), standard rooms in 80 yuan and standard rooms in 70 yuan on Saturday, cost 150 yuan. The price is hard, and every family is full on Saturday. The nearby Yuntai Mountain Villa has the best accommodation, and the standard room price is generally around 280 per night, which fluctuates greatly. After check-in, there is also the problem of eating. Usually every family has it, but it's expensive. For example, a plate of preserved eggs with green peppers 15 yuan, and a plate of wild fungus 30 yuan. Therefore, there are no special snacks in the field, and the health status of farmers is worrying. Therefore, it is recommended not to eat in the farmhouse. There is a night market and a large restaurant at the entrance to the village. There are barbecues, grilled fish, pancakes, food corners, boiled eggs, cold dishes and beer in the night market. There are all kinds of noodles in the restaurant, all of which are made at home. The price is relatively affordable and the hygiene is better than that of farmers. You can think about it.
Three. Introduction of scenic spots:
Yuntai Mountain is located in Xiuwu County, Henan Province. It is the first batch of world geoparks in the world, and it is also the only one in Henan Province that integrates six national-level scenic spots: national key scenic spots, national AAAA scenic spots, national geoparks, national forest parks, national water conservancy scenic spots and national macaque nature reserve. The scenic area is 190 square kilometers, including ten scenic spots: Quanpu Gorge, Tanpu Gorge, Hongshi Gorge, Zifang Lake, Wanshan Temple, Baijiayan, Yuan Xian, Ding Sheng, Diecai Cave and Qinglong Gorge.
Yuntai Mountain is covered with virgin forests, deep and quiet valleys and ponds, waterfalls and flowing springs, as well as picturesque peaks and rocks, forming a unique and perfect natural landscape of Yuntai Mountain. The summer platform and mausoleum of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, the secluded hometown of "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in Wei and Jin Dynasties, the remains of Sun Simiao, the drug king in Tang Dynasty, the cornucopia peak written by Wang Wei, a great poet in Tang Dynasty, and the inscriptions and cultural relics of many famous writers constitute the rich and profound cultural connotation of Yuntai Mountain.
Yuntai Mountain is famous for its mountains, and the whole scenic spot is full of beautiful peaks. The main peak, Cornus officinalis peak, is 65,438+0,304 meters above sea level. Climb the top of the cornucopia, looking at the depths of Taihang Mountain in the north and Huaichuan Plain in the south. The fertile land is thousands of miles away, the countryside is like chess, and the Yellow River is like a belt, which can not help but make people feel relaxed and happy, and appreciate that "when you climb to the top, you will know that the Yellow River is like a belt".
Yuntai Mountain is famous for its water and is known as "three steps and one spring, five steps and one waterfall, ten steps and one pool". Yuntai Waterfall, the highest waterfall in China with a drop of 314m, is as spectacular as a jade pillar. Tianmen Waterfall, Bailongtan Waterfall, Huanglong Waterfall and Yazi Waterfall all flow downstream, forming a unique waterfall landscape in Yuntai Mountain. Many Kong Quan, Pearl Spring, Wang Liequan and Yue Mingquan are crisp and sweet, which makes people linger. Qinglong Gorge Scenic Area has the reputation of "the first canyon in the Central Plains", where the climate is unique, the water resources are abundant and the vegetation is primitive and complete, making it a good place for eco-tourism.
4. Recommended attractions and experiences:
1) Hongshixia: The tour takes about one and a half hours, with a total length of 2,000 meters and a one-way scenic spot.
Hongshixia (Wenpanyu) is located in the ovary of Hunan Province. Summer is cool and pleasant, winter is covered with moss and lush vegetation, so it is called Hongshixia. It is a collection of springs, waterfalls, streams, ponds and streams in one valley, integrating majestic, peculiar and secluded beauty, and is praised by landscape architects as "natural landscape boutique gallery". There are "Shoulongtan", "Black Longtan", "Qinglongtan", "Huanglongtan", "Wolongtan", "Sleeping Longtan", "Awakening Longtan", "Purple Longtan" and "Swimming Longtan" in the valley, which constitute the "Jiulong River". There are also scenic spots such as Hidden Waterfall, Cave, Kissing Stone, Two Lions Pumping Water, Proud and Chessboard Stone. At the southern end of Taniguchi, there is a narrow canyon called "Yixiantian" and Bailong Waterfall with a waterfall height of over 50 meters. High mountains stand on both sides, just like a stone que, which happens to be the west gate of Yuntai Mountain.

2) Spring Waterfall Gorge: The tour takes about two hours, with a total length of 3,000 meters.
Spring Waterfall Gorge (Laotangou) is said to be the residence of a Tianhe Dragon King, who was exiled to the mortal world against the jade emperor's will to save the people in northern Henan from drought. The total length is about 3 kilometers, and the peaks on both sides of the strait stand tall and magnificent. The mountains in the ditch are like painting screens, the flowers and trees in the mountains are like flowers, and the streams at the foot are like clouds. Strange rocks, mountain springs, flowers and waterfalls make up a valley symphony. At the end of the ditch is Yuntai Waterfall, the highest waterfall in China, with a drop of 3 14m. Looking from a distance, I saw it kissing the blue sky and dancing down the stone screen like a jade pillar. Its sound is deafening, its potential is magnificent and its scenery is spectacular. In addition, there are five old peaks, Lugong, Qipin Sesame Official, Xiandu, Peacock Spring and Whispering Spring.
Best travel time: August and September (there will be enough water flow in Yuntai Waterfall when the rainfall is heavy).
Spring waterfall gorge experience point:
1. The high waterfalls and deep streams show the special landform style of Yuntai Mountain.
2. Pagoda Peak, both male and female, towering into the sky. Named after a pagoda.
3. Lugong ancient plank road, commonly known as Lugong, was built by an ancient widow. There are also legends here.

3) Cornus officinalis peak: the approximate time required for sightseeing: two to three hours. You can take a bus to the parking lot of dogwood peak, which takes 30 minutes. On the way, I will pass through several caves and feel the man-made miracle of man-made mountains.
Cornus officinalis peak, commonly known as Xiaobeiding, is 1, 308 meters above sea level. There are Zhenwu Emperor Temple, overpass and ladder on the top of the peak. According to legend, Wang Wei's famous poem "On Mountain Holidays, Thinking of Shandong Brothers" says: "Being a stranger alone, I miss my relatives twice every festive season, and I know where my brothers are climbing from afar, and I am short of one person everywhere." Is that I feel at this peak. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the Yellow River like a silver belt in the distance. Looking down from the foot, the mountain peak looks like waves. The climate on the top of the mountain is changeable, and suddenly there are clouds, white fog gurgles out from the mountains, and the red sun disappears immediately. Mountain peaks haunt the clouds, and Yun Teng Mountain floats like a celestial body. There is Wang Yaodong at the peak waist, with a depth of 30m and a diameter of10m. According to legend, it was the place where Sun Simiao, the drug king of the Tang Dynasty, collected medicine and made an alchemy. There is an ancient yew in Wangyaodong, about 20 meters high, with a thick trunk, three people embracing each other and lush foliage. The tree is about a thousand years old and is a rare and famous tree in China. There are also more than ten caves such as "Zao Zao Dong", "Wang Yandong" and "Huang Mudong". There is a bucket of water in the famous spring in the scenic spot. A spring is like a small well. The water rushes underground, and it does not dry up or overflow all the year round. In addition, Du Fu Peak, Qiu Fu Peak, Cuiwei Peak and Yunmen Peak also have their own characteristics.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) travel advice:
1. It's best not to go on Saturday. Friday and Saturday are the most suitable days, with cheap accommodation and few people in the scenic spot.
It takes two days to drive from Xi 'an, starting at 7: 30 in the morning and arriving at the scenic spot at 2: 00 in the afternoon. After finding a place to stay on the "shore" (which is the only place to enter and leave the scenic spot), you can buy a ticket to enter. It's best to go to Hongshixia first, because the afternoon sunshine will make the cliffs of Hongyan redder and the photos will be better.
3. On the second day, you can take a bus directly to the Spring Waterfall Gorge to see Yuntai Waterfall, which is called the highest waterfall in China, with a drop of 3 14m. After coming out, take a bus back to Zifang Lake, turn to Cornus peak, climb 300 meters to a pavilion to rest and see the mountains, so it only takes 90 minutes.
4. After returning to the "shore" from Cornus peak, it is already noon, and you can go home after lunch. Get on wenjiao expressway 10 km (the first exit, heading for Xinxiang) and get off and change lanes, otherwise you will run dozens of kilometers more.
Because the scenic spot is full of near water, the temperature will drop at any time when the weather changes. It is recommended to prepare autumn trousers when traveling and sweaters in autumn. Wear a sun hat and goggles, and apply sunscreen to delicate skin to prevent bad skin.
