The only bankrupt 5A scenic spot…

📍Location: Xin'an County, Luoyang, Henan 🎫Tickets: Refer to the official scenic area or ticketing platforms, subject to actual conditions 💡Special notes: The scenic area combines various landscapes, with closely connected yet distinct zones. Proper time planning is needed for the overall visit 📅Best time to visit: Spring and autumn (March-May, September-November) for pleasant climate and colorful canyon views; summer for large waterfall flow and cool respite 🌟Why you must visit - Geological Wonder Museum: This is a masterpiece of 1.2 billion years of geological sedimentation and 2.6 million years of water erosion. The U-shaped canyon made of purplish-red quartz sandstone features unique landforms of high gorges, long valleys, mountain ridges, and caves. You can witness the magical visual phenomenon of water flowing uphill, caused by tilted rock layers and other factors. There is also a natural giant stone pillar up to 50 meters tall called the "Peerless Heavenly Stele," and the uniquely textured "Stone Chronicles" resembling ancient history books. - The World of Youtan Waterfalls: Wulongtan consists of five connected pools with emerald green water, the deepest reaching 12 meters. The Feilong Waterfall has a 68-meter drop, cascading straight down and often showing rainbows in the sunlight. There are also Qinglongtan, Heilongtan, and Yin Yangtan pools, all interconnected, with waterfalls linking them, as if stepping into a serene water world. - Nature and Legend Intertwined: The "Dragon Legend" is everywhere in the canyon. It is said that in ancient times, five dragons rested here, transforming into mountains surrounding the pools, thus forming Wulongtan. Walking through the canyon, you can almost feel the presence of the five dragons, adding a mysterious charm to the natural scenery. 🚶‍♀️Recommended routes - Classic one-day tour - Route: Entrance → Wulongtan → Heilong Pass → Heavenly Stele → Buddha Light Arhat Cliff → Longshan Heavenly Pool (boat ride) → Exit - Highlights: About 4 hours of hiking, suitable for families and photography enthusiasts.
