    "Baquan Gorge is a worthwhile trip. The scenic area is beautiful. Because there are not many road repairers, there is basically no need to queue up. The sanitary environment is good. She was very happy with her mother. I picked up a lot of stones. There is an old lady in Qinglong Gorge who sells He Shouwu is very expensive. The red beans of Hongdou Gorge are good, and it is not expensive to buy some specialties. Because of the Henan route road construction, when you come, you can only go from Qiwangzhai small dirt road to the winding mountain small dirt road road, very difficult to open, walked for four and a half hours, the mountain road detoured for two and a half hours, and encountered heavy fog weather, visibility 6 meters on the top of the mountain! It was a thrilling driving experience! But when I came back from Shanxi, the road was repaired, and it was a lot better to walk down Wanxianshan Road! Basically, there are cars in Henan along the road, and the feeling of going to Baquan Gorge to see it is difficult and dangerous! Very good trip! Also bring back a lot of specialties!"

Yuntai Mountain wants to go all the way and needs at least a whole day, and the physical exertion will be very large. The shuttle bus in the scenic spot is very convenient, there are many shifts, and the management is not bad."
