Departing from Luoyang! The beauty of the South Taihang Mountains has me frantically saving photos.

Trust me, everyone! Starting from Luoyang and heading to the Xinxiang South Taihang Tourism Resort is an absolute dream trip that will blow up your social media feeds. After checking in according to the recommendations of *Chinese National Geography*, I was completely captivated by the beauty along the way, and my photo album is bursting at the seams💥

The first stop is Youlong Bay. The real-life "Blue Tears" is even more stunning than I imagined! With the sunlight pouring down, the lake surface resembles a giant blue gemstone, sparkling and shimmering. Pick a sunny day, navigate to the "Xinxiang Baoshang Road Ganyangzhan Viewing Platform," and every shot you take will be a visual masterpiece.

Next, we arrived at the free-to-enter [MISSING_TEXT]. It truly deserves its reputation as the "Little Jiangnan of Taihang." In spring, the vegetation is lush, and we camped and barbecued here, enjoying the mountain breeze and sizzling grilled meat while admiring the stunning landscape. After a day of fun, we stayed in a super stylish nearby guesthouse and enjoyed a relaxing time.
