Before July 15, 2025, Baquan Scenic Area offers free admission for tourists from Shandong. I had wanted to visit Baquan for a long time, so I took this opportunity to leave right after work on Friday. 1. Recommended Family Route: Arrive Friday night, visit Baquan Yatianxia on Saturday, explore Baquan Grand Canyon on Sunday, and return Sunday afternoon with a stop at Pangdonglai. This schedule allows plenty of time, is very relaxed, and gives children ample rest and playtime. 2. Ticket Information: Before July 15, Shandong residents get free admission to Yatianxia and the two-park area, only paying transportation fees. Make sure to purchase tickets through the Shandong-exclusive links on major platforms. Tickets for the Grand Canyon alone are not free. The two-park ticket is valid for two days, allowing one entry each to Yatianxia and the Grand Canyon within that period. 3. Accommodation and Dining: Accommodations outside the scenic area are mainly concentrated in Anshang Village, Shaqiang Village, and Gezhen Village; see page 1 for details. This time we stayed at Nashan Nashui Hotel (Zhengyun Expressway Entrance branch) in Shaqiang Village, with slide rooms at 145 yuan. The hotel’s facilities, service, and cleanliness were very satisfactory. If your budget allows, I highly recommend staying at Huangyangen Homestay in Yatianxia, which lets you enjoy the park before the crowds arrive. For dining, the Anshang service area outside the scenic spot has large restaurants and many chain stores. Other villages with many homestays also have numerous private restaurants. Nearby towns such as Yuntai Mountain Town, Qixian Town, and Bobo Town also offer some dining options. Local specialties include Henan Hui noodles, spicy soup, Wuzhi clay pot dishes, and sweet and sour spicy hot pot. Inside Baquan Scenic Area, dining is also convenient. In Yatianxia, main options are Taihang Restaurant near the cliff roller coaster and the third floor of Huangyangen Homestay near the cliff swing. In the Grand Canyon, food streets near Qianqiantan and Taohuaping are popular. There are also many kiosks selling snacks like grilled sausages and corn. 4. Tips for Visiting the Scenic Area: Yatianxia: More suitable for young people. If you want to try the cliff roller coaster, swing, via ferrata, or bungee jumping, arrive early to queue. You can take the sightseeing bus to complete these activities before enjoying the scenery. Arriving late on a normal weekend can mean long lines that test your patience. For children, besides the scenery, there are many play areas nearby, including squirrel feeding not far from the cable car and the tulip garden with various slides, climbing structures, and pools. Grand Canyon: More suitable for family water play. Recommended itinerary: Qianqiantan (with a pavilion with straw hats and paddleboards) → Yulin Dam (water quality here is average) → Inflatable water castle (similar to "Happy Forward Rush") → Taohuaping (fish touching and shrimp catching, shallow water play, pedal boats) → Baoquan Boat (children’s water fort, water shows, water suspension bridge). Most water play areas offer free storage, but spaces are limited. Also, bring bath towels and a change of clothes as clothes get wet easily.

Day 1: Take the high-speed train from Beijing and arrive at Xinxiang East Station at 11:48. Book the bus ticket from Xinxiang Bus Station to Baoquan at 13:00 online in advance (17 yuan per person). It takes about 30 minutes to take a taxi to the bus station. Time is tight, so it is best to have lunch on the high-speed train. The bus takes 1.5 hours to reach Baoquan P2 parking lot. If you want to play in the afternoon, you can store your luggage at the visitor center and go directly to Yatianxia for half a day. The bus took 10 minutes to get to the cable car, and the large cable car cabin was truly astonishing (it could accommodate quite a few people). After getting off the cable car, you officially enter the cliff world. Because we stayed at Huangyangen B&B (the accommodation was introduced in the previous article), we chose to take a shuttle bus to the end of Yatianxia (the shuttle bus costs 20 yuan per person, and accommodation is free), put the luggage in the B&B, and check in at the door of the B&B first. I made an appointment for the cliff walk at 3-4 pm two weeks in advance and arrived in 2 minutes. A group of 10 people needs to wait in line. The China National Geographic check-in handheld check-in books will be distributed, so there is no need to rush. After putting on shoe covers, queue up, and after putting on safety gear, you can check in and take photos at the edge of the cliff. If you don’t have a reservation to walk on the cliff, you can go to the second-floor glass plank road, which is free and you can check in and take photos. The cliff swing is free. You just need to sign a life and death agreement and queue up. If you choose to sit outside, you can enjoy the view of Youlong Bay (don't close your eyes) Bungee jumping was also very exciting. We could only watch. There were lightweights (under 130 pounds) on one side and heavyweights (over 130 pounds) on the other side. We signed a life and death agreement and lined up according to our weight. Then I walked in the opposite direction along the wall-hanging corridor and went out for fun 🤣, marveling at the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. I was amazed by the uncanny workmanship of nature. Finally we took the shuttle bus back to the B&B. The next day: If you didn’t get to play the games last night, you can play them as soon as you wake up. It takes only 3 minutes to walk out of the cliff and into the Grand Canyon. The second phase of Via Ferrata is right at the junction. I hesitated for a long time and didn’t try it (it was very windy), but the brave ones can challenge it. The shuttle bus + L-shaped elevator costs 30 yuan per person, and our B&B is free. We took the elevator down to the Grand Canyon. There were a lot of people going the opposite way with us during Qingming Festival😎 The Grand Canyon is a place for taking photos. After you get out of the elevator, turn left and you will go up the mountain. The mountain is very simple and at the end is the Jade Maiden Waterfall. The water in the entire mountain is very clear. It must be very comfortable to play in the water in the summer. My husband wanted to exercise, so he insisted on paddling the bamboo raft by himself. I was just tired and bored*͈ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈ෆ ❣️Personal advice: 1. If you take the elderly, just visit the Grand Canyon and take photos comfortably. 2. Young people who want to challenge themselves can go to Yatianxia. 3. If you want to play all the games, go from Yatianxia to the Grand Canyon. 4. There are a lot of people during holidays, so come if you don’t mind the traffic jam. 5. Wear short sleeves and a jacket 6. If you want to play exciting games, you must come in early, otherwise you will have to wait in line. 7. Those who want to challenge themselves and have good arm strength can try the first stage of via ferrata. Those who want to fly in the canyon can try the second stage of via ferrata. Those who feel they are very good can try both. 8. Wear bright-colored clothes when checking in and taking photos, it really looks good💞 9. Bungee Jump and National Geographic Cliff Walk must be booked in advance, no chance of buying tickets on site💔 10. Those who do not drive can take a taxi directly from Xinxiang. It costs 30 yuan per person if you share a taxi and 50 yuan per person if you do not share a taxi. We did not share a taxi when we returned to Xinxiang.

Go and feel its beauty. I believe you will have an unforgettable experience.

People from Henan are so tight-lipped! They have such a beautiful secret place and they don't even tell us! Yesterday's real shot of Baoquan! Q&A! ||- "Shocking" is not enough to describe the scenery I saw yesterday at Cliff World! When language is not enough to express, let's use pictures to support the scene - 🌟The "suspended plank road" of Baoquan is finally open🧢 Its beauty is that as a Baoquan person, I can't help but exclaim! Along the way, there are strange rocks and cliffs, like sharp blades, like knife edges... winding and winding, every turn is "the village is dark and the flowers are bright" Under the cliff is the Youlong Bay, the breeze blows, the sparkling light rises, there is movement in the quiet, there is quiet in the movement... the cliffs above and below echo each other, making me deeply feel what is "magnificent" and "magnificent"‼️ You really have to see it with your own eyes to experience it!!! 🌟Now it's the National Day holiday, it's really suitable to come and play! Recently, there are sisters in the comment area asking me if there are many people? What clothes are suitable? How to buy tickets? Are the elderly and children suitable for Cliff World? ✨Now I will answer in a unified way: 1️⃣Are there many people? 👉🏻Now the passenger flow is moderate, not crowded, very suitable for holiday play! High-quality travel! 2️⃣What clothes to wear? 👉🏻Now the temperature difference between morning and evening is still quite large, long-sleeved trousers and jacket three-piece suit✔️ 3️⃣How to buy tickets? 👉🏻(Put in the comment area) 4️⃣Are the elderly and children suitable for Cliff World? 👇🏻 🔹Now Baoquan has painless climbing! There are mountain escalators, ground rail cable cars, sightseeing cars, royal carriages, and a lot of walking tools. As long as the elderly can walk normally, don't worry! 🔹Children have no problem playing, looking at the open view of the cliff, maybe the children are more energetic than adults! 🔹If it is a baby that needs to be held, don't worry, Baoquan has no difficult roads. Pay more attention to safety when going up and down stairs!
