|Looking out the window, I thought I was in Switzerland. Suburban Tour|Looking out the window, I thought I was in Switzerland The first waterfall of Taihang, Chibi Hanging Stream, a new scenic spot in Changzhi, Shanxi 🌼I went with a group, more than a hundred per person, took a big bus from Taiyuan for more than three hours to get there, the scenery along the way was quite good, the cover picture was taken through the glass on the bus. More than a hundred includes round-trip bus fare, scenic area pass, you can take the awning boat, bamboo raft, and small train in the scenic area 🌼When I went there, there were not many people, the mountain was not high, it was not stressful to climb, the plank road bamboo raft even the life jacket was new, the whole trip took about four or five hours, you can go back and forth on the same day, very suitable for coming out on weekends to get close to nature and relax 🌼Not many people, so it's easy to take pictures, post-production is relatively easy. Although it is named the first waterfall of Taihang, I think it's just a gimmick, in fact, the waterfall is not high, not big, so there is no need for professional equipment like climbing sticks, just pay attention to sun protection, bring a sun hat, and dress in outdoor style. 👉🏻You can bring some food, replenish energy when you are hungry, there are few food stalls in the scenic area and the food is not good, and the prices are high. I think it's quite suitable for couples, the scenery is beautiful, refreshing, and you don't have to pant and blush, then there are occasionally two steep slopes, holding hands to help, haha, just play it by ear. 😍It's also OK for moms to bring children, the difficulty is not high, there are mountains and water, you can take a boat and a small train, children should also like it
