Baoquan Cliff & Grand Canyon Day Tour, a nanny-level guide
First, my impressions: the scenery is nice, and the facilities in the scenic area are quite complete. To exaggerate a bit, there's a trash can every five steps and a public toilet every ten steps, with free hot water provided. There aren't many stairs to climb, so you won't feel too tired after playing around. Now, let me introduce it in detail.
Essentials
Make sure to bring a full set of sun protection gear. It was mostly cloudy today, but I still felt the sunburn.
It's advised to wear a pair of comfortable sports shoes, as there are some stairs to climb and a lot of walking to do. Also, bring a pair of water shoes or buy a pair on-site for twenty to thirty yuan.
As for food and drinks, we only had a bottle of mineral water and a cup of machine-made cola throughout the day, because we weren't very tired, so we didn't consume much water. One bottle is enough. If you buy it in the scenic area, it's 4 yuan per bottle. We didn't bring any food, as there are many food vendors in the scenic area, and the prices are normal for a tourist spot, not too outrageous. I roughly remember the prices: ice cream cone 7, machine-made cola 9, hamburger 15, covered rice 25+, and I didn't ask the price for hot dry noodles and cold skin noodles.
Lastly, bring a power bank, tissues, wet wipes, and essential balm as needed, and try to travel light.
Self-driving route and tickets
I departed from Zhengzhou, took the West Third Ring Road to the Lianhuo Expressway, then switched to the Zhengyun Expressway. The whole journey is over 90 kilometers, about 1 hour and 20 minutes, with a toll fee of 46 yuan, and the parking fee in the scenic area is 10 yuan for one day.
Tickets are divided into two: Baoquan Cliff and the Grand Canyon. The Baoquan Cliff ticket includes the Grand Canyon.
Baoquan Cliff ticket: Adult 180, Student 110, Child 95
Grand Canyon ticket: Adult 100, Student 69, Child 30
From 6.9 to 6.30, college entrance exam students are exempt from the scenic area ticket
Baoquan Cliff
From the visitor center, take a bus to the Luoga Temple cable car, ride the world's largest single-body cable car to reach the cliff top, and start the Baoquan Cliff scenic area tour. Baoquan Cliff mainly consists of some attractions on the cliff and thrilling activities, such as rock climbing, roller coasters, cliff swings, glass walkways, and bungee jumping. Finally, a 336-meter elevator takes you through the mountain in 52 seconds to reach the Grand Canyon scenic area.
Grand Canyon
After taking the L-shaped elevator to the Grand Canyon, you arrive at the busiest part of the canyon, where there are many small food shops, including Xuewang and Dicos. To the left is a place for kids to play in the water, and further inside is similar to Bali Gou, with a waterfall at the deepest part. To the right is the direction of the scenic area exit. If you're not too tired, it's recommended to walk out and take a bus to the visitor center, a distance of about 2.5 kilometers. If you're tired, there's a ferry car on the opposite side for 15 yuan per person, which takes you directly to the bus stop.
Small tips
We didn't queue up for any activities, and it took us about 6 hours in total for Baoquan Cliff & Grand Canyon. The roller coaster was under maintenance and not open, so if you want to play, you might want to call ahead to avoid a wasted trip. There were a lot of people rock climbing, all waiting in line to pass, and the queue for the cliff swing was estimated to be over 30 minutes.
Baoquan tourist area is located in an important node of Taihang Mountains. The Grand Canyon, the Great Wall, and the mountains and rivers are intersecting. The unique meteorite cliff fault landform of the scenic spot forms a dense and spectacular waterfall group of Taihang Mountains. There are Shuanglong Waterfalls, Seeing Dragon Waterfalls, Yunv Waterfalls, etc., which can be described as five steps and one pool, ten steps and one waterfall. It's a spectacle.

The scenery is beautiful, the water is emerald green, there are several waterfalls, the child of the fish scale dam has been playing in the water, the water is very clear, there are many small fish everywhere, and you can see the scenery from a high place by bus.
The mountains and clear waters are beautiful and the environment is beautiful. Summer is especially suitable for taking children to play in the water. There is also a tulip flower festival in March and April every year. There is a particularly high waterfall deep in the scenic area, which is spectacular and has the feeling of water coming from the sky.
Highly recommended. 1. The best route to play in Baoquan Scenic Area: 1. First cliff world, then Grand Canyon (current stage 182 yuan/person, cliff world to the Grand Canyon), walking from the cliff world is a downhill road, not tired, you can also play the stimulus project while walking, after playing the Grand Canyon is almost flat road, do not go back. 2. (Morning): Departing 1-Cliff World Luojia Temple Cableway-Danya Tianlu-Cliff Feilada Yiya Paradise (Cliff roller coaster, Tulip Paradise, Taihang Food Shop, through Taihang tent camp) 1-Xiangyun Observation Deck (Bungee jumping, cliff walk)-L-Cave sightseeing elevator to the Grand Canyon Scenic Area. (Recommended play time 4 hours) (afternoon): L-shaped cave sightseeing elevator - go up along the pool water, continue to turn back along the pool water after reaching the top. Fully equipped, there are food, there are sitting, there are four people around the table of quail eggs. There are scenic bus shuttles and shuttle buses. (It is recommended to play for 4 hours) (Today, I have been playing in the cliff world for too long, the Grand Canyon is still 1500 meters away, and the bamboo raft boat has not arrived, leaving a regret). Young people have plenty of time, it is recommended to play for two days, one day in the cliff world, one day in the Grand Canyon. Enough entertainment projects to stimulate. Beautiful scenery to see enough.
Today, I went to Baoquan to shoot tulips. I lost my mobile phone. I was in a hurry. Later, I was picked up by the staff and gave it to me. I really thank this aunt. I just forgot to ask the name of this aunt. The scenery is very good. The price of snacks is similar. Service attitude is also very good, highly recommended for friends who want to play for a day! ! !
