Guide to Guoliang Village (Cliff Road) and Nanping Scenic Area
Guide to Guoliang Village (Cliff Road) and Nanping Scenic Area
🌈Transportation: Take a high-speed rail to Xinxiang East Station, then rent a car online and drive for 1.5 hours to reach the "Wanshan Mountain Scenic Area Visitor Center". Parking is CNY10 per day.
1. Guoliang Village (Cliff Road) Route: Take the scenic area bus from the Visitor Center (included in the ticket price) for about 15 minutes to the entrance of the "Cliff Corridor" (green route in Figure 11). Start exploring the "Cliff Corridor", which is about 1,200 meters long and takes about 30 minutes to walk. The exit is Guoliang Village. At this point, there are two routes to choose from:
① One is Guoliang Village Entrance--2km--Fortress--1km--Cliff Stairway; ② One is Guoliang Village--1km--Observation Deck. I chose route ②, which takes about 30 minutes.
🌈 After exploring Guoliang Village, you can walk back to the entrance of the "Cliff Corridor" and take the scenic area bus (included in the ticket price) to Nanping. If you don't want to walk back, you can take the scenic area bus from the "Observation Deck" to Nanping for CNY30.
2. Nanping Scenic Area: Enjoy the mountain and water scenery, two routes to choose from:
① Hiking: Nanping Scenic Area Entrance--1.5km--Black Dragon Pool Waterfall--1km--Danfen. This hiking route is relatively flat in the first half and steeper in the second half, but it doesn't feel tiring overall.
② Take the scenic area bus (CNY30): Take the scenic area bus directly from the entrance of Nanping Scenic Area to the entrance of "Danfen", which takes about 15-20 minutes. Start exploring the downhill route.
3. Food and drink: There are many farmhouses and guesthouses in Guoliang Village, where you can eat and stay.

Wanxianshan Scenic Area
This journey, though full of challenges, is also laden with extraordinary scenery, making it truly worthwhile! 🌟 Driving your beloved car through the towering mountains, embarking on a self-driving adventure in the southern Taihang, and finally camping at the foot of Hanwang Village. 🏕️
Hanwang Village, hidden in the heart of the Wanxianshan Scenic Area in southern Taihang, is like an unpolished gem, quietly lying in the deepest part of the 'paradise on earth'—Luojiacun, which is hailed as a 'fairyland' in the mundane world. 🌄
Luojiacun is actually the shining pearl of the Wanxianshan Scenic Area, along with the film location Guoliang Village, the tranquil Nanping, and the Buddhist pure land Sanhu, collectively known as the four treasures of the scenic area. 🌿 In this land untouched by commercialization, the rich rural flavor and primitive wild charm are still preserved, making people feel as if they are in another world.
It is quietly located 50 kilometers northwest of Huixian City, at the border of Henan and Shanxi provinces, within Shayaoxiang, surrounded by seven towering mountains such as Ant Mountain and Fang Mountain. These mountains form a natural 'mountain' character painting, among which Ant Mountain, with its majestic height of 1657 meters, stands proudly above the peaks, becoming the pinnacle of Wanxianshan. 🏔️
Most travelers stop at the Fengqiu Yixiantian of Luojiacun, as it is the end of the farmhouse entertainment. Beyond that is a rarely visited secret place. However, if you choose the steep path on the left side of Yixiantian, clinging to the cliff, and continue driving for two kilometers, you will reach the magnificent mountains at the foot of Hanwang Village. 🛣️
This journey, though narrow, is relatively flat but lacks guidance and obvious landmarks, requiring extra caution while driving to prevent accidents. 🚧 At the end is an open area for turning around. From here, you start on a winding path to Hanwang Village, with every step filled with the passion of adventure.
The campsite at the foot of Hanwang Village is not only an ideal place for camping but also a perfect spot to watch the sunrise. As the morning light first shines, the canyon bathes in golden sunlight, and the mountains appear more layered in the light and shadow, making people feel refreshed and forget the troubles of the world. 🌅
Standing here, looking around, you see peaks like a forest, majestic and imposing; the mountain road beneath your feet winds, leading to secluded paths, and the craftsmanship of nature is breathtaking. 🌄 This scene makes people feel open-minded, as if everything in the world becomes insignificant, and only this magnificent landscape evokes awe and lingering.
In short, this arduous journey ultimately brings such a stunning view, making every participant feel that this trip is extraordinarily meaningful and rewarding! 🎉 However, given the difficult journey, to ensure safety, it is recommended to park the vehicle at Yixiantian and hike to Hanwang Village to enjoy the tranquility and grandeur exclusive to the brave. 👣

Xinxiang | Self-driving in the Southern Taihang Mountains
Route:
Zhengzhou
➡️ Baoshang Road Viewing Platform: Specific location: Ganyang Station, stop when you see the signal tower! There is a small road that leads straight to the cliff edge!
➡️ Wujiawan: A one-stop destination for dining and lodging, with a large reservoir
➡️ Taxus Grand Canyon: Just passing by
➡️ Heimaogou Grand Canyon: The scenery is very good!
➡️ Passing by a small stream: The scenery is very good!
➡️ Qizi Cave: A very small place, not recommended.
➡️ Qizi Mountain: Taking photos of Zhu Bajie
➡️ Ewu Bridge: The road is closed!!!
➡️ Guoliang Village: Must purchase a ticket for Wanshan Mountain at 107 RMB per person to be allowed in, we didn't go
➡️ Lingchuan, Shanxi: Going to the Northern Taihang Mountains tomorrow.
Summary: The Baoshang Road is great for viewing Baoquan, the small stream, and the Heimaogou Grand Canyon. The sudden road closures are unexpected, and the bundling sales at Wanshan Mountain are unreasonable; they won't let you pass without buying a ticket.
The scenery in the mountains is nice, with greenery everywhere.

#### After more than five years, I came to the Xinxiang Wanxian Mountain Scenic Area. Under the night, in the evening wind, in the small farmhouse, eating delicious farmhouse food, drinking cola, talking with the friends, the whole body and mind are relaxed. I really like this feeling [love]
