#2023TravelWish #nationalpark #mountainview #henanprovince #china Heard of Henan before? If you have, it’s likely for the Shaolin Temple or Longmen grottoes (check out my other posts for a review on those cultural highlights) but it’s not often that YunTai mountain is talked about as a must-go place. Situated in the north of the province, YunTai mountain not only hosts beautiful waterfalls, monkey trails and mountain top temples, but also the Red Rock Gorge. This really took my breath away with miles of stairs up and down the crevice with the characteristic… you’ve guessed it! Red rocks! The whole scenic area is easily accessible via tourist bus, cable car and boat!

Henan is the capital of all dynasties in China. It is the place we often hear about the Central Plains. It is regarded as the center of the world and the birthplace of Chinese culture. Famous scenic spots include Shaolin Temple, Longmen Grottoes, and Yuntai Mountain. Scenic spots

The Most-Asked-About Travel Destination! Just How Amazing Is Yuntai Mountain? I've been bombarded with one question lately: "You've been to so many places, is there anywhere you'd visit again and again, always finding something new to marvel at?" Well, yes, there is! Today, I'm sharing my hidden gem—Yuntai Mountain—with all of you! First Encounter with Yuntai Mountain: A Dreamlike Beginning I first heard of Yuntai Mountain through a photographer friend's social media post. The cloud-shrouded peaks and cascading waterfalls instantly captivated me. I packed my bags without hesitation and embarked on this journey of discovery. As soon as I stepped through the entrance, I was awestruck by the scenery. In the distance, the peaks rose, layer upon layer, like giants slumbering on the earth, or like a slowly unfolding ink scroll. Clouds and mist drifted through the mountains, veiling the peaks in an aura of mystery, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland. Red Stone Gorge: Nature's Crimson Poem Stepping into Red Stone Gorge is like falling into a magical world where God has spilled his palette of colors. The rocks here are a fiery red, shimmering under the sun's gentle caress. The gorge is deep and serene. As you walk along the winding boardwalk, the red cliffs on both sides rise majestically, leaving only a sliver of sky visible above, as if you were standing in a crevice of the earth. Below, crystal-clear streams flow merrily, their emerald waters intertwining with the crimson rocks to create a breathtaking picture. Fish dart freely in the water, occasionally leaping above the surface as if greeting visitors. Waterfalls abound in the gorge, some cascading like the Milky Way, others falling like delicate beaded curtains. Standing beneath a waterfall, feeling the cool spray and listening to the deafening roar, all your worries seem to vanish into thin air. Tanpu Gorge: A Scenic Wonder at Every Turn Tanpu Gorge is a veritable water wonderland, truly living up to the saying, "A spring every three steps, a waterfall every five, and a pool every ten." Upon entering the gorge, the gentle murmur of flowing water fills the air like a beautiful melody. The spring water here is clear and sweet. Cupping a handful and taking a sip, the refreshing sensation instantly invigorates you. Along the way, waterfalls and pools of various shapes and sizes greet you at every turn. There's a particularly interesting spot called "Y-shaped Waterfall," where two streams cascade from different directions and converge below, forming a large "Y" shape, like nature's unique signature. Further on, there's the "Fountain of Youth." Legend has it that drinking from this spring grants eternal youth. Though just a legend, I couldn't resist taking a few extra sips. Who wouldn't want to stay young forever? Zhenyu Peak: Ascending to Spiritual Heights If Red Stone Gorge and Tanpu Gorge represent the gentle side of Yuntai Mountain, Zhenyu Peak embodies its grandeur. With excitement, I boarded the cable car and ascended slowly. As we climbed higher, the view became increasingly spectacular. The rolling mountains, lush forests, and winding paths all seemed to shrink below, evoking a sense of "reaching the summit and overlooking all the mountains." After disembarking, there's still a steep climb up the steps to reach the peak. The ascent isn't easy, but every step is filled with anticipation. Finally standing atop Zhenyu Peak, I gazed out at the clouds swirling below, the mountains stretching endlessly, and the villages and fields in the distance, forming a tranquil and harmonious landscape. At that moment, I recalled Wang Wei's poem, "I know my brothers have climbed to a high place, and everywhere they insert dogwood, one person is missing," feeling as if I had traveled through time to share the poet's longing and passion. Yuntai Mountain Cuisine: A Culinary Journey After a day of exploring, there's nothing like a delicious meal to recharge. Yuntai Mountain's cuisine is incredibly diverse, with every bite tantalizing your taste buds. The snack street near the scenic area is filled with local specialties, making your mouth water. My first stop was "Nao Tang Donkey Meat," a local signature dish. As it was served, the rich aroma filled the air. The donkey meat was tender, juicy, and melted in my mouth. Paired with special seasonings, the flavor was simply divine. There are also dishes made with the local "Four Treasures of Huai" (Huai yam, Huai niuxi, Huai dihuang, and Huai chrysanthemum), which are not only delicious but also nourishing. I tried the candied yam, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sweet and irresistible. The wild mountain vegetables here also have a unique flavor, naturally grown and pollution-free. Simply cooked, they retain their original freshness, leaving a lasting impression. Travel Tips: Your Guide to Exploring Yuntai Mountain Finally, here are some tips from my experience to make your Yuntai Mountain trip even more enjoyable! 1. Plan Ahead: The scenic area is vast with numerous attractions. Planning your itinerary and allocating your time wisely will ensure a fulfilling experience.

At Zhenyu Peak, capture the mountains and sea of clouds as your backdrop for amazing shots. 4. Important Notes: Pay attention to safety during your visit, especially in steep areas. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen, as there's a lot of walking and strong sunlight.
