Around 9:30, we arrived at the Shanglajiang trailhead in Nanwan Village
Around 10:15, we arrived at the cliff-hanging road and felt the wonder of carving the road into the cliff.
We reached the summit around 12:00 and arrived at the Shanglajiang Farmhouse to replenish drinking water. Noodles and stews were provided for 15 yuan, which was enough for a full meal. You could also eat your own food.
13:00 After lunch, we set off towards Luojie Village and entered the scenic beauty section with peaks and ridges, clear water and picturesque scenery.
Around 14:00, we arrived at the South Station Observation Deck. The scenery along the way was beautiful. The peaks were like knife blades piercing the sky, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, giving people a strong feeling of piercing the sky. I suddenly felt the beauty of nature's creation.
Around 3:00 PM, we arrived at the ancient village of Luojiezhai. Legend has it that during the Sui and Tang dynasties, a female general named Luo Guixiang built a fort on this mountain to train troops, giving it the name Luojiezhai. There's also a rumor that in the Shangdang region of Shanxi, Emperor Li Shimin met a young lady from the Luo family (Luo Guixiang), and they fell in love and secretly engaged. Later, when Li Shimin ascended the throne and forgot about their past, Miss Luo was heartbroken and encamped along the official road at the border of Henan and Shanxi. She robbed the rich and helped the poor, specifically challenging the imperial government.
Around 16:30, we arrived at the Luojiezhai Stone Monument. At this point, you can choose to walk down the mountain, or you can ask the tour leader to arrange a car to go down the mountain at your own expense. The downhill road is about 3-4 kilometers (about 10 yuan per person).
Around 17:20, we arrived at Jinshun Mountain Villa Farmhouse. The bus stopped there and everyone took a short break and then gathered together to return to Zhengzhou.
Arrived in Zhengzhou around 19:40, kissed goodbye with tears
