|| Lesser-Known Hiking Spot in Henan: Longyuwan, Luanchuan, Luoyang. If I could only recommend one place in Luanchuan, Luoyang, it would definitely be Longyuwan! This place is perfect for family trips, where you can hike and play in the water. Compared to the crowded and overrated tourist spots, I prefer places with rich, untouched natural scenery. Experience four seasons in one mountain, and different weather every ten miles! A visit to Longyuwan allows you to feel the changes of the seasons. At the foot of the mountain, the sun may be shining brightly, while at the top, it could be overcast with light rain, and finally, the clouds break to reveal the sun, which is truly breathtaking! 📍 Address: Longyuwan National Forest Park 🎫 Ticket: 39.9 RMB, Cable Car + Ticket ¥99.9 🚘 Transportation: Self-driving is very convenient. After exchanging tickets at the visitor center, drive 10 minutes to the vehicle toll station (10 RMB/vehicle). 🌈 Recommended Spots 1⃣️ Nine-Curve Clear Water Stretching 1100 meters, it integrates strange rocks, peculiar stones, vine bridges, waterfalls, and clear springs. The connected pools and surrounding clear water make it a fun spot. 2️⃣ Immortal Valley Immortal Valley features clear pools and flowing waterfalls, with extremely spectacular scenery. There is also an Immortal Bridge in the valley, where you can enjoy the beautiful natural landscape from the bridge. 3️⃣ Black Dragon Pool Couldn't find the entrance while climbing up, but observed it on the way down. It's actually a bit inconspicuous next to the transfer station. However, after going down, you'll find a small waterfall with a gentle flow and many dry areas. 4️⃣ Chicken Foot Peak The best spot in the scenic area. Take the cable car for 15 minutes, then walk for 55 minutes to the top. Along the way, there is the Longyin Cave Glass Walkway and the Ten-Mile Scroll. At an altitude of 2212.5 meters, the mountain is majestic with steep cliffs. It is the core attraction of Longyuwan. From Chicken Foot Peak, you can overlook the mountains and enjoy magnificent views. 5️⃣ Forest Oxygen Bar This is the largest larch base in Central China, rich in negative oxygen ions. Visitors can stroll here, breathe fresh air, and feel the charm of nature. 6️⃣ Leigong Village Surrounded by cliffs on all sides, it is extremely dangerous. Due to its steepness, it is also known as 'Little Huashan'. ⚠️ Warm Tips 1. Pay attention to weather changes and take precautions in advance. 2. Travel responsibly and do not damage the environment. 3. Be cautious while hiking, avoid going alone, and it's best to have companions. 4. In summer, pay attention to sun protection and insect prevention.
