    Yanmen Pass is definitely worth a visit. I visited the Badaling Great Wall many years ago, and the experience was different. The day I went, the fog was quite thick, so visibility was limited. Also, I arrived rather late, so I didn't explore too far, but the early winter scenery was still beautiful. The difficulty of the climb further highlights the hardships endured by the ancient soldiers, and it makes one marvel at the wisdom of the ancients in building this magnificent pass.

    The scenery is nice and the bus is very convenient, good reviews! But the consumption level in the scenic area is a bit high, especially in some farmhouse restaurants, where two people can eat more than 100 yuan, while other places in the mountains only cost dozens of yuan.

    Xinzhou Ancient City is truly wonderful, with various ancient buildings arranged in a harmonious and picturesque manner. Be sure to climb the city wall at the entrance, and take photos at the Xiurong Academy at the highest point for a panoramic view. The various snacks are all quite good; following the reviews is a safe bet. However, avoid the Golden Beef Soup at the entrance; personally, I felt the portion of meat was small, and at 30 yuan a serving, there wasn't much to eat. They advertise a free scallion pancake with the soup (but it's only four small pieces, not even enough for a child).

    Due to the current Yellow River sediment discharge period, there is no water at the big bend in the Laoniuwan Scenic Area, and the riverbed is exposed, which greatly reduces the scenery. Fortunately, Ctrip launched discounted tickets in time, which made people feel more psychologically balanced. This must be praised!

    I went there on May Day. There were thousands of people in the cave, and it was hard to move. After buying the ticket, you have to take the scenic bus, otherwise it takes several kilometers to get to the ticket gate halfway up the mountain. It is not the same as the imagined cave. The cave is on the top of the mountain. You have to continue climbing or take the cable car to get there. I thought it was a cave with underground rivers and many stalactites, and many of the landscapes inside are artificial, so there is nothing to see. By the way, the cable car is worth experiencing, and the scenery is good.
