One-day tour around Zhengzhou |
My babies! Here is the guide for a one-day trip to Fuxi Mountain from Zhengzhou in 1 hour! This nanny-level route allows you to visit canyons, stone forests, and ranches all at once. Practical tips are included at the end of the article, so save them now!
🌟Recommended itinerary:
09:00 Arrive at Fuxi Grand Canyon
Hike along the 5-kilometer trail, the red rock valley + waterfalls are breathtakingly beautiful! The Xianlong Waterfall is like a silver thread cascading down, and the roar of the Feilong Waterfall shakes the valley. Remember to test your lung capacity at the Fuxi Pavilion. If you don’t have enough energy, you can choose to zipline (1 minute to the exit) or walk down the mountain.
12:00 Lunch at the Farmhouse
You must order acorn jelly, scrambled eggs with locust flowers, and stewed chicken with mushrooms. The average price per person is over 30 yuan, so you will have to eat until you have to walk with your hands on the wall!
13:30 Check in at the Red Stone Forest Scenic Area
The largest Danxia stone forest group in Central Plains! We recommend the glass ring corridor (360 meters high, super exciting) and the cliff swing (22 meters high, screaming and stress-relieving). Stop by the Yunshang Ranch and interact closely with the sika deer. The photos taken at the Sky Mirror are amazing!
16:00 Return
Navigate to "Hongshilin South Gate" and pass the popular winding mountain road along the way. The mountains and peaks under the sunset are picturesque~
🚗Transportation Guide:
Self-driving: Zhengshao Expressway Xinmi West Exit → Fuxi Avenue → Scenic Area (about 1.5 hours by car)
If you don’t drive yourself: Zhengzhou Passenger Transport Terminal/Central Station → Xinmi East Station → Transfer to Jianshan Bus
🎫Ticket tips:
Fuxi Grand Canyon: 50 yuan (including glass bridge)
Red Stone Forest + Yunshang Ranch Ticket: 120 yuan (it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance from Ctrip)
📌Tips for playing:
1. Wear non-slip shoes, as some sections of the canyon trail are steep
2. Prepare mosquito repellent in summer. You can rent Hanfu costumes to take photos in the scenic area.
3. It is recommended to leave early on weekends to avoid peak hours for a better travel experience
Fuxi Mountain is really a treasure land with super cost-effectiveness in the vicinity of Zhengzhou! In one day, you can feel the wonders of nature and experience exciting activities. Let's get together with your friends!
