Red leaf viewing in Jiaozuo takes Yuntai Mountain as the core. The best viewing period is from mid-October to the end of November every year. In places such as Yuntai Mountain's Hongshi Gorge, Zifang Lake, Zhuyu Peak and Phoenix Ridge, the red leaves, clear water and red cliffs complement each other, forming a beautiful autumn picture. In addition, Qingtian River, Shennong Mountain, Qinglong Gorge and other scenic spots are also good places to enjoy red leaves. Each is famous for its gorgeous red leaves, colorful or combined with Love Highway 1 and other landscapes. Appreciating red leaves in Jiaozuo is a visual feast in autumn. Whether it is Yuntai Mountain or other scenic spots, people can be immersed in the magnificence and tranquility of nature and feel the romance and unique charm of autumn.

Yueshan Temple

Yueshan Temple

On the auspicious day of the first day of the seventh lunar month, it is suitable to go to Jiaozuo Yueshan Temple for a spiritual blessing ceremony.📍 Driving there takes only about 40 minutes, and you can reach this tranquil holy land. The scenic area has a convenient parking lot🅿️, and each car only needs to pay a parking fee of ¥10. The ticket price is affordable, only ¥25, allowing you to easily step into this space full of Zen. Entering Yueshan Temple, although it is not large in scale, a leisurely walk around for about 40 minutes allows you to fully appreciate its unique charm. This visit is my first real entry into Yueshan Temple. In the past, I only had a fleeting glance. Unexpectedly, the temple is lush and pleasant, and it is known as one of the four major Buddhist temples in the Central Plains region along with Xiangguo Temple in Kaifeng, White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and Shaolin Temple in Songshan. It has a long history and a great reputation. There is only a winding path up the mountain, and devotees hold incense sticks and proceed devoutly. At the foot of the mountain, there are vendors selling incense. The shopkeepers are kind and not only give away lighters but also carefully add oil to the incense to help ignite it. Of course, you can also bring your own incense for a more personalized blessing experience. Inside Yueshan Temple, it is peaceful and serene, allowing one's mind to settle. On the way down the mountain, I had the fortune to taste the famous Jiang noodles of the Bo'ai area. Its unique flavor is unforgettable, and I highly recommend it. Here, I also warmly remind all visitors to bring their own lighters, as the wind on the mountain occasionally extinguishes the flame, and specific areas within the temple do not provide incense lighting services. Today is the first day of the lunar month, a perfect time for blessing and wishing.

Surroundings of Jiaozuo - Yueshan Temple

Surroundings of Jiaozuo - Yueshan Temple

Originally named 'Qingfeng Hermitage'. In the 20th year of Dading, it was granted the name 'Daming Zen Monastery'. In the 6th year of Yuan Zhi Zheng and the 3rd year of Yongle of the Ming dynasty, it was rebuilt, and in the Wuyin year of Tianshun, it was bestowed the name 'Baoguang'. After the Qing dynasty, it was renamed 'Yueshan Temple'. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, it was changed to 'Zhongshan Park'. The first official name of Yueshan Temple - Daming Zen Monastery was conferred by Emperor Shizong of the Jin dynasty. Yueshan Temple was built in the third year of Zhenglong of the Jin dynasty, and was initially called 'Qingfeng Hermitage'. Since it was built during the early turbulent years of the Jin dynasty, it did not have official approval from the authorities, meaning it was a temple that had not been sanctioned by the government. What does it mean to not have official approval?

Red Flag Canal Travel Guide

Red Flag Canal Travel Guide

Awesome! Choosing the Red Flag Canal means choosing a soul-stirring journey of spirit and scenery. As a (virtual) seasoned travel blogger, I have carefully prepared this practical and in-depth Red Flag Canal travel guide to ensure your trip is truly worthwhile. --- **[Blogger’s Overview] Red Flag Canal: More Than Just an “Artificial Heavenly River,” It’s a Flowing Epic** The Red Flag Canal is hailed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World” and “China’s Great Water Wall.” It’s not just a canal but a lifeline carved out by the people of Lin County (now Linzhou City) over ten years on the cliffs of the Taihang Mountains. When you come here, what you see is scenery, but what you feel is the magnificent spirit of “rearranging the rivers and mountains of Lin County.” **1. Before You Go: Quick Facts About the Red Flag Canal** * **Core Spirit:** The Red Flag Canal spirit of “self-reliance, hard work, unity, and selfless dedication.” Visit with reverence for a deeper experience. * **Location:** Linzhou City, Anyang, Henan Province. * **Main Components:** The Red Flag Canal Scenic Area mainly consists of two core parts — **Youth Cave Scenic Area** (the highlight, located on the mountain) and **Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall** (overview of history, located at the foot of the mountain). There is a shuttle bus between the two. **2. Best Time to Visit** * **Spring (April-May)** and **Autumn (September-October)** are the best seasons. The weather is cool, the mountains are lush green or ablaze with autumn colors, perfect for hiking. * **Summer** is hot, but the flowing canal water offers a refreshing coolness. Remember to protect yourself from sun and heat. * **Winter** sees fewer tourists and you can enjoy ice formations, which have a unique charm, but be cautious of slippery mountain paths. **3. Suggested Itinerary (1-2 Days)** **Option A: Classic One-Day Tour (Tight Schedule, Highlights Only)** **Morning: Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall → Noon: Linzhou Local Lunch → Afternoon: Youth Cave Scenic Area** * **08:00-10:00**: After arriving in Anyang or Linzhou, head straight to the **Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall**. This is the starting point to understand the history of the canal. Be sure to rent an audio guide or hire a tour guide. The precious historical photos, artifacts, and impressive sand table models will instantly transport you back to the era of battling nature. * **10:30-12:00**: Take the scenic area shuttle bus from the Memorial Hall to the **Youth Cave Scenic Area**. * **12:00-13:30**: Enjoy lunch at a restaurant near the entrance of Youth Cave Scenic Area, tasting Linzhou specialties. * **13:30-17:00**: Deeply explore the **Youth Cave Scenic Area**. This is the highlight of the trip. * Walk along “Entrepreneurship Cave” and “Unity Cave,” with the canal water flowing beneath your feet and towering cliffs beside you. You can personally walk on the “plank roads” that the canal builders once hung on the cliffs. * Be sure to visit **“One Line Sky”** and **“Lingyun Pavilion”** to feel the ruggedness of the Taihang Mountains and the greatness of human endeavor. * Key check-in spot: **Youth Cave**. You can take a boat inside the cave (extra charge). Touch the chisel marks on the cave walls under dim lighting — the impact is indescribable. * **17:30**: End the trip and return. **Option B: In-Depth Two-Day Tour (Recommended, Leisurely Pace)** **Day 1: Immerse in History, Get to Know Taihang** * **Morning**: Arrive in Linzhou city center and check in. * **Afternoon**: Focus on visiting the **Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall** and **Fen Shui Garden**. You’ll have ample time to watch documentaries and study historical materials, allowing your emotions to fully settle. * **Evening**: Stroll around Linzhou city, seek local delicacies, and recharge for the next day’s hike. **Day 2: Hike the Heavenly River, Be Moved to the Core** * **All day**: Explore the **Youth Cave Scenic Area**. With two days, you can slow down and not rush. Besides the main route, spend more time at several viewing platforms to take photos, daydream, and savor the experience. Taking the boat into Youth Cave will be even more profound. * **Evening**: Satisfied, end the journey and return. **4. Must-See Highlights & Blogger’s Photo Spot Recommendations** 1. **Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall**: * **Blogger’s note**: This is not just a simple “check-in spot” but an “emotional warm-up zone.” The petition covered with red handprints and the worn-out layered cloth shoes are great photo details and powerful historical witnesses. 2. **Youth Cave**: * **Photo spots**: * **Panorama outside the cave**: On the platform directly in front of Youth Cave, with the large characters “Youth Cave” and the Taihang Mountains as the backdrop, this is the classic commemorative photo. * **Boat inside the cave**: Capture the cave interior from the boat, with light streaming in from the entrance, creating a full atmospheric effect. * **Viewing platform on the opposite bank**: Shoot the combination of Youth Cave and the Red Flag Canal water, showcasing the spectacular “Heavenly River” hanging on the cliff. 3. **One Line Sky**: * **Blogger’s note**: A narrow gap only wide enough for one person to pass sideways. Looking up, you truly see “one line” of sky. This is an excellent spot to experience the hardships of canal construction. Taking a photo passing through One Line Sky is very symbolic. 4. **Buyun Bridge**: * **Photo spot**: Walking on the shaky suspension bridge, with the abyss below and the Taihang Mountains in the distance, you can capture the thrilling and magnificent feeling of walking among the clouds. **5. Food Recommendations (Linzhou Specialties)** * **Linzhou Da Hui Cai (Big Stew)**: Similar to Northeast China’s mixed stew but with local characteristics, hearty ingredients, rich broth, very appetizing. * **Stir-fried Millet**: Steamed millet stir-fried with eggs and vegetables, unique texture and fragrant aroma. * **Sophora Flower Scrambled Eggs** (seasonal): If visiting in spring, be sure to try this fragrant dish. * **Sweet Potato Vermicelli**: Linzhou’s vermicelli is chewy and delicious, whether in dishes or spicy and sour noodles. **6. Practical Tips (Must-Know)** * **Transportation**: * **Self-driving**: Most convenient. Navigate to “Red Flag Canal Scenic Area.” About 2-3 hours from Zhengzhou or Anyang. * **Public transport**: From Anyang East Station (high-speed rail) or Anyang Railway Station, take an intercity bus to Linzhou, then transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus from Linzhou. * **Tickets**: * It’s recommended to book in advance via the official WeChat account or major travel apps, as there are often combo deals (tickets + shuttle bus). * **The scenic area shuttle bus is a must** because the Memorial Hall and Youth Cave are far apart. * **Accommodation**: * **Linzhou city center**: More options, convenient dining, good value. * **Near the scenic area**: Convenient for early entry the next day; some homestays offer mountain living experiences. * **Blogger’s friendly reminders**: * **Wear comfortable shoes!** There’s a lot of walking and stairs. * Protect yourself from strong mountain UV rays. * Bring enough drinking water; although there are vendors along the way, it’s more convenient to have your own. * Respect history and keep quiet inside the Memorial Hall. * Watch the documentary “Red Flag Canal” in advance to enhance your travel experience. --- I hope this guide helps you start an unforgettable journey to the Red Flag Canal! It will not only help you capture stunning photos but also bring back a continuous source of spiritual strength. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime! Have a great trip! — Your Virtual Travel Blogger
