The landscape tea tour in southern Henan was connected to the famous grottoes and mountains in western Henan, and within 6 days, the two parts of 'southern' and 'central plains' in Henan were pieced together, with rich and non repetitive content.

Follow the route of 'Xinyang → Nanyang → Pingdingshan → Luoyang' without turning back.

How to delegate power in six days

• Xinyang (1.5 days): Jigongshan Summer Resort+Nanwan Lake Tea Island, slow pace, suitable as a starting point
• Nanyang (1 day): Wolonggang Wuhou Temple+Han Painting Museum, Three Kingdoms and Han Dynasty portrait stones
• Xichuan Danjiangkou (1 day): Canal head and reservoir area, looking at the source of the South to North Water Diversion Middle Route
• Pingdingshan Lushan (1 day): Yaoshan+Zhongyuan Giant Buddha, half mountain and half human culture
• Luoyang (1.5 days): Longmen Grottoes+White Horse Temple, ending in the most famous place
• Want to compress: remove Danjiangkou, walk in five days, at the cost of missing a segment of "water" experience

Recommended routes (arranged by day and time period)

• Day 1: Arrive in Xinyang → Jigong Mountain (Summer Resort and Old Villa Complex) → Stay in Xinyang or on the mountain
• Day 2: Morning at Nanwan Lake (Tea Island+Lake Cruise) → Afternoon trip to Nanyang → Accommodation in Nanyang
• Day 3: Morning at Wuhou Temple+Han Painting Museum → Afternoon at Xichuan → Stay at Xichuan
• On the morning of Day 4, at the head of Danjiangkou Canal, then in the afternoon, heading to Lushan and finally to the foot of Suyao Mountain
• Day 5: Morning at Yaoshan → Afternoon at Zhongyuan Giant Buddha → Evening at Luoyang → Stay in Luoyang
• Day 6: Longmen Grottoes in the morning → White Horse Temple in the afternoon → Return journey

How to arrange transportation

• Main line: Xinyang East Nanyang East Pingdingshan West Luoyang Longmen, high-speed rail series, 0.5-2 hours between cities
• Difficulty: The head of Danjiangkou Canal and Yaoshan are located in the county/mountainous area, and there is no direct high-speed railway. It is necessary to transfer to a car or charter a car
• Suggestion: Renting a car or following a group for the entire journey is the most convenient, as the cost of transferring to public transportation on this line is high
• Self-driving: The overall road conditions are good, and the Yaoshan section is a mountainous road with many bends and slow driving
• Luggage: Change accommodation five times in six days and five nights. It is recommended to only bring one 20-24 inch suitcase

How to choose accommodation (rotating for five nights)

• Xinyang: Living along the banks of the Shihe River in the city center, it is convenient to go to Nanwan Lake and the high-speed railway station
• Nanyang: Stay near Wolonggang and drive to Wuhou Temple in the morning
• Xichuan: Living in the county town, with average conditions but close to the canal head
• Lushan: Stay at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain, enter the mountain early the next morning to avoid crowds
• Luoyang: Stay in Xigong or Luolong, go to Longmen and Baima Temple smoothly
• Timing reminder: Summer is the peak season for this line (summer vacation+mountain and water), and the housing supply at the foot of the mountain is particularly tight

What to eat (ranked by city)

• Xinyang: Xinyang Maojian (cheaper to buy directly from the place of origin), Nanwan Fish, Hot dry noodles
• Nanyang: Nanyang yellow beef and stewed noodles, with a per capita price of 40-70 yuan for main meals
• Xichuan: Danjiangkou fish, fresh fish in the reservoir area is the focus of this section
• Lushan: Lan Guo Cai, a mixed pot style dish with sufficient portions
• Luoyang: Water mat and beef soup, finishing with a complete meal

Three levels of budget (per capita, 6 days and 5 nights)

• Budget range of about 1700-2200 yuan: chain accommodation+high-speed rail/bus+public transportation+home style restaurant
• Comfort range of about 2800-3600 yuan: four-star+full journey charter+dining out for meals
• Premium range of about 4800-6500 yuan: High star/mountain view room+full ride private car+certified explanation
• Admission is the reference price, and each scenic spot charges separately. The official announcement shall prevail
• Chartering is the biggest variable on this line, and the cost-effectiveness is obvious after sharing the cost with a large number of people

Pitfall Avoidance Guide

• Change accommodations five times in six days, the heavier the luggage, the more tiring it becomes. Simplify as much as possible
• The public transportation between Danjiangkou and Yaoshan sections is sparse, so don't schedule your itinerary based on "available at any time"
• The weather in mountainous areas is unpredictable, and Yaoshan is equipped with rain gear and thin jackets
• When buying tea, look for legitimate stores. The "Mingqian Maojian" at roadside mobile stalls has a high premium and is difficult to distinguish authenticity
• Summer is the peak season, so booking homestays at the foot of the mountain in advance can lead to high prices and poor conditions for finding temporary rooms
• The entire line has a large span, and the time spent on the road every day should be included. Don't fill up the scenic spots
