"China's Colorado"! Cliff-hanging Road + Sea of Clouds Sunrise



Taihang Mountains, the magnificent backbone of North China! Hundreds of millions of years of geological carving have created cliffs, canyons, red cliffs, and the "world wonder" of Guoliang Cliff Road. A 2-day 1-night light hike to avoid crowds and experience the dual shock of nature and culture!

📅 Itinerary
🚗 Day 1: Recommended to drive or take the high-speed train to Xinxiang Station → transfer by bus/carpool to Wanxianshan Scenic Area (about 1.5 hours)
✅ Visit 【Guoliang Village】 + walk 【Cliff-hanging Road】, passing through sheer cliffs, every photo is a masterpiece
📍 Explore the tranquil 【Nanping】 + see the Heilongtan Waterfall Group
🏨 Overnight at Guoliang Village homestay (standard room ¥280/night including breakfast, mountain view from the window)

🌙 Evening stroll in the stone village, the starry Milky Way clearly visible

📅 Day 2: Early morning climb to 【Huanglong Cave Viewing Platform】 for sunrise and sea of clouds
✅ Optional hike 【Kunshan Cliff Road】 (some sections undeveloped, guide required) or stop by 【Bali Valley】 on the way back (ticket ¥80)
🚗 Return at noon

💰 Total budget (about ¥580 per person)
Transport ¥120 + Tickets ¥80 (Wanxianshan combined ticket) + Accommodation ¥280 + Meals ¥60 + Scenic area transport ¥40 ≈ within ¥580!

📌 Tips:
✔️ Best season: May to October (summer resort), autumn red leaves are even more stunning
✔️ Large temperature difference in the mountains, bring a windbreaker + hiking shoes
✔️ Cliff-hanging Road lighting is weak, bring a flashlight or headlamp
✔️ Village dining mainly features farmhouse dishes, recommended iron pot stewed native chicken
