Hey friends! Today I discovered a hidden treasure in Shanxi β Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon Baquan Gorge. Few people, stunning scenery, it feels like stepping into a secret mountain and water paradise. Once you visit, youβll never forget it! π
π Featured Activities
- Boat tour on the emerald pool: The water is as green as jade. Cruising through it by boat, towering cliffs line both sides. Every snapshot looks like a "mini Jiuzhaigou," so ethereal and magical~
- Cable car overlooking the canyon: The high-altitude cable car lets you take in the vastness of the entire canyon. Layered mountains and deep valleys create an absolutely stunning view!
- Walk the cliffside plank road: A plank road built along the cliff, with the mountain wall on one side and the deep canyon abyss on the other. Thrilling and exciting, plus you can enjoy different perspectives of the canyon scenery along the way~
πΊοΈ Recommended itinerary (super fulfilling for one day)
- Morning: After arriving at the scenic area, take the sightseeing bus to the boat dock, then enjoy a boat tour of the emerald pool to experience the peaceful blend of mountains and water.

- Afternoon: Take the cable car up the mountain to overlook the entire canyon, then walk the cliffside plank road deep into the gorge, stopping to take photos along the way. Finally, take the sightseeing bus back.
This plan lets you experience different activities without getting too tired β the pace is just right~
π Food recommendations
