Taiyuan...For a detailed guide to Yunding Mountain, please read this article.

Everyone says Yundingshan is the Shanxi version of Altay. I want to ask what kind of place is Altay? Without further ado, here is the super strategy: 📍Navigation to Yunding Mountain in Loufan County, it takes 2.5 hours to arrive from Taiyuan ✅Yunding Mountain is the highest mountain in Taiyuan, with an altitude of 2,800 meters. Some people will suffer from altitude sickness when they go there. This place is full of wild animals and plants. We saw all kinds of small mushrooms along the way from the moment we entered the scenic area. Since it was discovered before it was developed, there is no need for tickets at present. Maybe one day they will start charging. ✅Starting from Taiyuan City, take Taigu Expressway to Gujiao Expressway Exit, drive along S104 towards Loufan, see the Yunding Mountain sign in Miyu Town, then turn right to the Yunding Mountain Archway to reach Fenhe Reservoir. When you get to the bottom of the mountain, cars are not allowed to go up. You can choose to hike or ride a horse. You must bargain for the price of a horse! ✅The temperature here is low, so it is recommended to wear a coat + long pants. The alpine meadows are very beautiful for taking pictures, and the scenery at the top is worth it, but the process is too difficult. We chose to ride horses without hesitation when going down the mountain. The next day, our buttocks were sore. Due to the limited conditions, we couldn't complain. We just hope that the road can be repaired in the future...
