The Rainbow Wonderland on the Taihang Mountain Cliff: Unveiling Hongni Village

A hidden mystical wonder in Shanxi! Today, we're taking you to explore this stunning secret spot known as the "Rainbow Village on the Cliff" — Hongni Village!

📍Exact address:
Hongni Village, Hongtiguan Township, Pingshun County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province
(Recommended to drive 🚗 and navigate to "Hongni Village." It’s about a 1.5-hour drive from Changzhi city center)

💫 The moment you arrive, you’ll be utterly amazed! The entire village hangs on the sheer cliffs of the Taihang Mountains, shrouded in mist and clouds, appearing like a real-life floating city in the sky~

🏯 Must-visit highlights:
▫️ Stone slab ancient village
The whole village features stone slab roofs and stone walls, with quaint stone alleys everywhere. Every snapshot you take is a masterpiece! 📸

▫️ Hongni Waterfall
A breathtaking waterfall at the village entrance! The 80-meter drop cascades down the cliff, and the mist creates a 🌈 rainbow in the sunlight (rumored to be the origin of the village’s name), delivering maximum impact!

▫️ Minghui Master Tower
A nationally protected building from the Five Dynasties period, this millennium-old ancient tower stands alone, with clear carvings visible on it. Standing before it feels like traveling through time~

🌄 Best time to visit:
At dusk!!!
The sunset bathes the entire village in golden light, with curling smoke from cooking fires, making it look like a beautiful ink painting~

🏡 Accommodation recommendation:
There are several charming guesthouses in the village. We recommend staying overnight to truly experience life in a cliff village (remember to book in advance!)

💡 Useful tips:
1️⃣ Driving is recommended! The Taihang Mountain scenery along the way is also spectacular~
2️⃣ Bring mosquito repellent if visiting in summer
3️⃣ Wear non-slip shoes, as the stone paths can be slippery
4️⃣ Sunrise and sunset are the best times for photos

📣 A little secret: There are very few tourists here!! Hurry and visit before it becomes popular~
