Shanxi Off-the-Beaten-Path Attraction | Hongya Canyon is too beautiful!!

There are mountains, water, and grasslands. It's very worth visiting!! It takes 2-3 hours to get there from Taiyuan. You can buy a 130 yuan combo ticket on the spot. It includes admission and round-trip shuttle service + round-trip cable car. When I went there, there weren't many people and the scenery was still very spectacular!! I highly recommend this place for a day trip in Shanxi. Right after entering, you can take a shuttle bus to Love Valley and walk a forest path. You can play in the water there, it's very cool! About 15-20 minutes later, continue to take the shuttle bus to transfer to the cable car up the mountain. The cable car ride is about half an hour. After getting off the cable car, there's the 'Mirror of the Sky' and some photo spots, and you can also ride horses. A short walk further, you'll reach Yingyue Pool where you can feed the fish and then start hiking to the top, which takes about 15 minutes. You'll encounter flocks of sheep on the way. Reaching the top, you'll find the grasslands, and the scenery is absolutely stunning!! You must go up!
