The old museum area of Qiantang Zhizhai Museum left a deep impression on me. Although it is rated as a 4A-level scenic spot, I dare say that except for the residents of Tiemen Town, the locals of Xin'an County, most of the people in Luoyang, and some people in Henan, many travel experts have never heard of or cared about this place. Mr. Zhang Fang, the founder of Qiantang Zhizhai and a veteran of the Xinhai Revolution, initially chose Tiemen Town, an inconspicuous place, to avoid chaos and protect the treasures, collecting more than 1,400 tomb epitaphs and stone carvings from the Tang Dynasty and later dynasties. Among those treasured Tang Dynasty epitaphs are written the life stories and achievements of various figures from the early Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty, including prime ministers, generals, governors, celebrities, gentlemen, palace maids, and talented women. There are also stone carvings of political figures such as Empress Wu Zetian, Detective Di Renjie, and calligraphers and painters of various dynasties, such as Dong Qichang, Zheng Banqiao, Mi Fu, Liu Yong, Wang Duo, and modern celebrities such as Kang Youwei, Zhang Taiyan, and Yu Youren. Among them, you can also see the original characters created by Wu Zetian during her reign. As well as the only surviving calligraphy by Di Renjie. ☀️Practical TIPS☀️ 1️⃣Be sure to visit the old museum. Inside Qiantang Zhizhai, there are rooms and corridors embedded with rows of epitaphs and stone carvings. The new museum is opposite the side entrance of Qiantang Zhizhai, and there are also exhibits, but it is still recommended to visit the old museum first. 2️⃣Admission to the old museum is free, while admission to the new museum is 60 yuan/person. 3️⃣There is also a large house in the side courtyard of the old museum, where the Xiwo Grottoes are located. Don't miss it.

At the same time, the design of Xin'an Hangu Pass reflects the scientific design concept of military defense facilities by the builders of the Han Dynasty and the superb skills of the craftsmen, which is an important physical material for the study of the history of ancient Chinese defense engineering.

If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery without getting tired, the Grand Canyon is the best choice for you. It is a 5A scenic spot that has been underestimated. It is also the only 5A scenic spot in China where the management company has gone bankrupt and the scenic spot is still in normal operation. It is said that this place was a vast ocean 10,000 years ago. It is a fairyland on earth formed naturally after 1.2 billion years of geological sedimentation and 2.6 million years of different water flow cutting. The canyon is 12 kilometers long, and every place is a surprise. Longtan Grand Canyon is located in Xin'an County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, 70 kilometers from the center of Luoyang City and 180 kilometers from Zhengzhou. Tickets Scenic spot tickets: 80 yuan, sightseeing car: 30 yuan, boat ticket: 50 yuan, one-way car + boat package ticket: 70 yuan Play time: It takes about 3-4 hours after taking a one-way sightseeing car Tour route: 1. Walk all the way and return the same way. 2. Take a one-way sightseeing car and walk down the mountain in the canyon. (If you go to the scenic spot in the morning and go down the mountain in the afternoon, the advantage of this route is that you will not be exposed to the sun all the way down the mountain. The disadvantage is that you need to turn back to find the scenic spot when you see the introduction sign, which is not as smooth as going up the mountain.) 3. Walk up the mountain in the canyon and take a one-way sightseeing car down the mountain. (The advantage is that the scenery is relatively smooth, and the disadvantage is that there may be more people in the afternoon when going down the mountain.) The one-way sightseeing car will arrive at the place where you can take a boat. If you need to take a boat, you can get off the car. If you don't need it, you can continue to sit on the car. After the boat ride, take the sightseeing car back the same way. You can choose to take a boat on the top of the mountain, but the boat trip has nothing to do with the mountain climbing road. It is just another place to visit. If you haven't taken it before, it is recommended to take a ride. The scenery is very beautiful. There is a surprise of "the road is blocked by mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark willows and bright flowers". The most labor-saving route: Take the sightseeing car to Tianchi Secret Realm, take a boat to visit, then take the same way back to the top of the mountain, and walk down along the waterfall and stream, which is easy and comfortable. tips: The road is not difficult to walk, there are many places to play with water along the way. If you go in summer, you can wear a pair of non-slip slippers. Children must bring a set of clothes, they will get wet if they are not careful.

Longtan Grand Canyon is located in the mountains of Xin'an County, Luoyang, Henan, mainly featuring the geological landscape of red rock valleys. It is often mentioned online as the only honest scenic spot that went bankrupt. Attracted by its reputation, I came to experience it and indeed found it to be very cost-effective. Here are some records for reference. 📍Scenic Spot Address: In the mountains of Xin'an County, Luoyang, Henan, not far from Damei Mountain. 🚗Scenic Spot Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself. If you depart from Zhengzhou or Luoyang, take the Lianhuo Expressway to Xin'an, then drive about 50 kilometers along the provincial road after exiting the expressway to reach the destination. Public transportation is not very convenient in my opinion. You either have to get to Xin'an County and then transfer to a bus to the scenic spot, or take a direct tourist bus from Luoyang, but there are very few bus trips from Luoyang, only in the morning to go and in the evening to return. Of course, where there is demand, there is a market. There are many private carpooling options to Luoyang at the entrance of the scenic spot, with reasonable prices, which you can choose. 👍️Must-Visit Spots: Longtan Canyon is a large scenic area. Once inside, just follow the main tour route. Along the way, there are mountains and water, following the river channel. There are large areas of water forming lakes, and slow-flowing shallow beaches, which are suitable for children to catch fish and shrimp. There is a distinctive rocky area in the canyon, which is said to have been formed by billions of years of water erosion. The scenery varies along the way, and the classic spots are all on the main route. 🎟️Ticket Information: Adult ticket: 80 yuan, with discounts available on Ctrip. Free for children under 12 years old or below 1.2 meters. Free for people over 60 years old. 💗Other Tips: It is recommended to go early if you are driving. Arriving early allows you to park closer to the entrance. There is traffic control at the entrance of the scenic spot. When it gets too crowded inside, they will only let in more cars after some have left, so if you arrive late, you might have to queue. The scenic spot is not very large. A day is enough if you just want to visit. However, we were leisurely and stayed overnight. There are a few fast-charging stations in the parking lot, so electric cars can be charged. However, during the day, these spots are often occupied by fuel cars, and we only found them available at night.

Recommended reason: Every step here offers a new view, helping people forget their worries. It's a great place for cooling off, playing in the water, and boating, and it's also very friendly for children. Scenic address: Longtan Grand Canyon, Shijing Town, Xin'an County, Luoyang City, Henan Province. Scenic transportation: Local visitors are advised to drive themselves, while those from out of town can join a tour group. Navigate to Longtan Grand Canyon Parking Lot No. 1 and buy tickets in advance. Must-visit spots: The entire canyon is beautiful and worth seeing along the way. Ticket information: Tickets are 70 yuan. Some groups are exempt from tickets, but those exempt need to purchase 5 yuan insurance. Boating is 50 yuan, and the sightseeing car is 30 yuan (one way). Other tips: Some tickets for cars and boats are included in the tour group package, so individual visitors should buy them at the visitor center. Don't rush while walking, take your trash with you, and you can wear slippers to play in the water.
