The Traveling Epicurean s Diary

Henan! If you don't promote this place, you're missing out!

I want to reveal to you a hidden gem deep in Henan—the Xinyang Jigongshan Scenic Area! 🏞First of all, the ticket price here is very affordable, and there is even a free admission offer for college students right now, which is an incredible deal! 🎟Take the L1 bus directly to the scenic area, or drive to the Jigongshan West Gate parking lot, and the time to go up the mountain is also very flexible. 🚌🚗Upon entering the scenic area, it is recommended to first visit the Borden Forest Park, where the bald cypress and dawn redwood forests are like a real-life version of the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz—super photogenic! 📸Then take the old Pinghan Railway train directly to the Jigongshan scenic area, and experience a retro way of traveling. 🚞At Jigongshan, you can choose to hike up the mountain or take a bus directly to the top. I personally recommend taking the bus up and then hiking down, which not only saves energy but also allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. 🌳Baixiao Peak is a must-visit spot, where you can overlook the entire beauty of Jigongshan, and there are historical buildings such as the Meiling Dance Hall and Xiaoshayuan, making you feel as if you've traveled back to the Republic of China era. 🕍For accommodation, the Yunzhong Hotel is a good choice, close to Baixiao Peak, and the farm stays on Nan Street are also very affordable.🏠Don't forget to try the local Shiliangfen, a cold and refreshing dish, perfect for cooling off in the summer! 🍧Finally, don't forget to leave your mark at the best photo spots like the bald cypress forest, dawn redwood forest secret spot, Xiaoshayuan mist forest, and Yilu Flower Waterfall!
