Highlights
Day 1: Laojun Mountain
Laojun Mountain in Luanchuan, Luoyang, is a sacred Taoist peak of the Funiu range. The golden summit temples rise above the sea of clouds; the Ten-Mile Painting Screen trail offers ever-changing views. Take the cable car up and, on clear days, catch the sunrise over the clouds.
Day 2: Yuntai Mountain
Yuntai Mountain in Xiuwu, Jiaozuo, is famed for the red-rock Hongshi Gorge, waterfall trails and cloud seas on Yuzhu Peak. Park shuttles link the sights; its gentle trails and cool summers suit families.
Day 3: Guoliang Village
Guoliang Village clings to a Taihang cliff face, famous for its hand-carved 'hanging' road tunnel. Walk the cliff road and the film-set hamlet, then gaze into the abyss — one of Taihang's most dramatic spots.
Day 4: Wanxian Mountain
Wanxian Mountain in Huixian nests the Guoliang hanging road and Nanping gorges amid red cliffs and waterfalls. Great for hiking and photography, with cool summers close to Zhengzhou and Luoyang.
Day 5: Jinding Taoist Temple Complex
Laojun Mountain in Luanchuan, Luoyang, is a sacred Taoist peak of the Funiu range. The golden summit temples rise above the sea of clouds; the Ten-Mile Painting Screen trail offers ever-changing views. Take the cable car up and, on clear days, catch the sunrise over the clouds.
Day 6: Return Trip
Zhengzhou, a transport hub on the Yellow River, is home to the excellent Henan Museum (Jiahu bone flute, owl-shaped bronze). The Yellow River scenic area and Shang dynasty ruins show the layering of ancient and modern China.
