2025 Nanzhao Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

|New family-friendly landmark! Giraffes are coming soon! A new family-friendly park opened before the Spring Festival in the mountains of Nanzhao, near Nanyang! We took the kids there on a sunny day. As it had just opened, there were no crowds, and the kids had a great time driving go-karts around the track. How was the experience? As it was cold, the giraffes will not arrive until spring. Although the park is decorated with giraffe ornaments, there are no real giraffes. However, the tickets are buy one get one free, so we can visit again for free when the giraffes arrive. As the park had just opened, some facilities were not yet complete, and there were not many animals in the petting zoo. The park could have more rides. The kids had a great time. They drove go-karts around the long, exciting track many times. The 5D movie was also interesting. It was about the history of Nanyang and lasted about 10 minutes. The Sky Mirror was beautiful and a great place to take photos. The kids also spent a long time in the non-powered park. The hotel and restaurant were also worth mentioning. The hotel was beautiful, but we did not stay there. The restaurant was large and served a buffet. The buffet cost CNY 28 or CNY 38. We arrived late, so we ordered from the menu. The food was good. Tips: 1. Address: Shangdian Village, Chengjiao Township, Nanzhao County, Nanyang City 2. Cost: There are package tickets. Online tickets cost about CNY 80 for adults over 1.4 m, CNY 40 for children over 1.1 m, and free for children under 1.1 m. 3. Main attractions: Go-karts, 5D movie, non-powered park, Sky Mirror 4. Other: There is a free parking lot at the entrance. There are small shows, such as sea lion and monkey shows, in the park. Check the times.

"Danxia and the bright moon, the stars shining through the clouds." Cao Pi probably never imagined that his poem would be associated with geology over a thousand years later. To describe a red sandstone landform characterized by steep cliffs, rigorous geologists romantically associated this landform with the colorful clouds in the sky and named it after the Danxia in Cao Pi's poem. The Danxia landforms identified in China are widely distributed in 1,005 locations across 28 provinces, with the most concentrated areas being in the southwest, central south, and northwest regions. In August 2010, the "China Danxia" nomination, consisting of six sites including Danxia Mountain in Guangdong, Lang Mountain in Hunan, Chishui in Guizhou, Jianglang Mountain in Zhejiang, Taining in Fujian, and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, became China's 40th World Heritage Site. These six Danxia landforms are all located in the south, so let's call them Southern Danxia for now. During the nomination process, the reason for selecting these sites was that the Danxia landforms in China's humid regions combine red mountains, green forests, and clear waters to create the most spectacular, attractive, and colorful Danxia landscapes, representing different stages of Danxia landform evolution. To some extent, the nomination process is also a process of negotiation. Especially in China at present, for local leaders, the nomination often carries the task of increasing visibility and developing the tourism industry to boost the local economy. The six nominated sites that were ultimately selected for the "China Danxia" nomination are naturally "born beautiful," but in terms of viewing, those that didn't make the cut may not necessarily be of lesser quality. In fact, most of them are not far from the selected sites, or even right next to them. Let's take a look at these Southern Danxia and their "little brothers."

After coming down from the Golden Summit, I went to the place I didn't check in before because there were too many people. 😊 . First, I went to the check-in point of I ❤️ Wuduoshan. The surrounding mountains are also very beautiful. 😎 . The most important check-in point is the internet-famous ladder. Each step has a different beautiful meaning. You can also see the mountain where the Golden Summit is located. It's another beautiful mountain view. 🧐 . After checking in at the internet-famous ladder, I saw the direction sign of the glass walkway next to it, so I thought I'd come over here to have a look. Along the way, there were beautiful mountain views. 🚶 . After walking on the wooden walkway for a long time, I found that I had to pay when I got to the glass walkway, so I didn't go. 🙇 . But I found a beautiful sky mirror check-in point here, and it was free. I couldn't miss it. 😎 . After that, I had to return the same way to go down the mountain without taking the glass walkway. It was really tiring to walk on the wooden walkway, but it was worth it to check in at the sky mirror. 😁 . On the way down the mountain, I found a missing check-in point. After checking in, I went down to take the sightseeing bus and didn't forget to get the cup of coffee. 🤭 . After going down the mountain, I waited for the bus back to Nanzhao at the visitor center. I took bus No. 29 at 16:22, and then took bus No. 32 at Nanzhao Bus Station to Yunyang Bus Station near Nanzhao Railway Station. 😊

After walking through the steps, you officially enter the mountain to explore. Every place feels like a fairyland, and you want to stop at every step. 🚶 . In addition to the beautiful scenery around, I also saw the inscription of Beiding Wuduo Mountain that I saw from the statue of Daoist Min Zhi Pavilion in front of me. Now I am closer, and I don't think the tall grass on the ground blocks anything. Instead, I think it adds a touch of beauty to the beautiful scenery. 🙇 . Going further, I came to an inscription of a famous mountain in Central China. It is not visible from a distance, which means that only by exploring forward will you find new discoveries. 🧐 . After checking in at the inscription of a famous mountain in Central China, continue to walk up the steps. 🚶 . I found a mountain on the way, which looked particularly beautiful, so I stopped to check in. 🧐 . Then I walked to a sign that said "Work hard and meet at the top" to check in and take a break. 🙇

After checking in at the Yaowang Temple, I came to the fork in the mountain road and saw a scenic spot on the right, so I went to take a look first. I wasn't in a hurry to climb the mountain. 🙇 . This is a Mingong Temple, which can be accessed from both sides. There is a statue of Daoist Min Zhiting on top. 😊 . Sitting here and admiring the surrounding peaks gives me a sense of relief. I can also see the inscription of Beiding Wuduoshan Mountain on the rock wall. 🧐 . After coming down from the statue of Daoist Min Zhiting, I returned to the fork in the road, which is at Zhiting. I took a break here and finally understood why this pavilion is called Zhiting. It should be named in memory of Daoist Min Zhiting. 🧐 . Then I explored along the other side of the road, passed through the quiet mountain gate, and saw the beautiful scenery of the peaks and the mountain trail ahead. It seems that this is the real starting point of the mountain road. 🧐

Hiking is not tiring either, it takes about an hour and a half to walk up the mountain, and you can challenge the glass plank road, high-altitude rock climbing, and glass water slide along the way. You can also choose to take the cable car to the top and take in the magnificent beauty of the southern foothills of Funiu Mountain. 🗓Travel itinerary: Let's talk more about the eat-stay-play strategy↓ Regarding activities: If you don't want to hike, go play in the canyon waters, walk by the lake at the foot of the mountain and in the bamboo forest; if you are with young children or the elderly, it is recommended to take the cable car directly to the top of the mountain to the tent area, and then it's a 20-minute walk to the summit. Regarding accommodation: According to location, the homestays are divided into three major areas, if you stay at the foot of the mountain, you can choose a lakeside or Southeast Asian style homestay. If you stay halfway up the mountain, you can choose the highly cost-effective Yunshang Mountain Residence Hotel and the more private Yunshang Banshan. If you stay at the top of the mountain, you can experience the luxury tents of Juyun Valley, with a valley of over 1000 meters beneath your feet, sleeping here you can watch the stars and moon, sunrise and sunset, and the sea of clouds and mist. At Banshan Homestay at night, through the glass windows of the room, lying in bed you can enjoy the star-studded night sky, with the sounds of insects and birds, the babbling of water, and the sweet breeze of the mountains gently blowing by, at this moment all the trivial matters of life are far away from you... Regarding food: Yunshang Mountain Residence Hotel has a Chinese restaurant, Jiulong Lake pier has barbecue stalls, and there are farmhouses along the mountain road. This place can satisfy a one-stop eat-stay-play for families with children, and neither adults nor children will be bored,

Whether strolling on the road or admiring the beautiful scenery within the scenic area, it is very worthwhile to come and relax.

The 800-li Funiu Mountain has beautiful mountains, water and scenery. Belonging to the same Funiu Mountain Range, if Xixia Laojieling is a "lady from a noble family", then Nanzhao Wuduoshan is a "beautiful girl from a small family". Although not as famous as Laojieling, Nanzhao Wudou Mountain is also uniquely beautiful. The misty clouds seen from the Golden Summit are like a painting. It was a little tiring during the climb, but the moment you reached the top, you felt that all the hardships were worth it. Climb to pray for blessings: The highest peak of Wuduo Mountain, the Golden Summit, echoes the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain. Like Mount Wudang, the Golden Summit of Wudou Mountain also enshrines "Zhenwu Emperor", and many people go there to burn incense and pray for blessings. Adventure and challenge tour: You can try the Wudoushan Glass Plank Road, via ferrata and high-altitude suspension bridge. Coordinates: Wuduoshan Scenic Area, Sikeshu Township, Nanzhao County, Nanyang City, Henan Province. Tickets: Nanzhao Wuduo Mountain Tickets are 75 yuan/person, the upward cableway is 50 yuan/person, and the glass plank road is 30 yuan/person. Transportation: The scenic spots in Nanyang counties are relatively scattered, and the tourist transportation is very inconvenient. There is no direct bus from Nanyang City to Nanzhao Wudou Mountain. You can take the bus from Nanyang to Nanzhao (10 yuan/person) at Nanyang Bus Station (West Station), and then transfer to the shuttle bus to Wudou Mountain (it seems there is only one bus a day), or take a taxi to the scenic spot. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is better to travel by car. Tips: ①Nanzhao Wuduo Mountain currently has four tourist areas, including Jiulong Lake, Tanpu Gorge, Wanfu Palace, and Wuduo Peak ②Friends who like waterscapes should not miss Tanpu Gorge or Jiulong Lake, and friends who like mountain climbing should not miss Wanfu Palace or Wuduo Peak.
