Attraction introduction: This stop is East Taihang, located on the eastern foothills of Wu'an Taihang in Hebei. It features Red Rock Gorge, glass walkways, and cliff swings, offering views of the Taihang peaks and has become a popular check-in spot in recent years. My understanding is that sunrises and sea of clouds on the mountain are rare and hard to come by, and if you look forward to the process, unexpected delights are often expected.
Friendly reminder: The climbing section has many steps and steep slopes, so be sure to wear non-slip sports shoes. Those with mobility difficulties are advised to take the cable car up and down.

You can take a boat tour to the "City in the Sky" glass viewing platform overlooking the Taihang peaks and the unique scenery. My understanding is that when visiting the riverside canyon, you must wear non-slip shoes and bring a waterproof phone bag. Even if you have fun, be sure to protect your belongings.
Friendly reminder: The canyon trail is by the water and cliffs. Do not climb over guardrails or play in dangerous areas, and watch out for accompanying children.

Day 3: Nantaihang
Today's theme is Nantai Mountain, avoiding peak crowds and staggering visits, in-depth tours along recommended routes; Enjoy local flavors nearby at noon, free time in the afternoon or join a guided tour, and stay at the hotel to rest in the evening.
Attraction introduction: One highlight of the itinerary is the South Taihang Mountains, which refers to the Taihang mountain section within Henan (around Linzhou and Huixian), featuring cliff-hanging roads, canyons, and waterfalls, all clustered with majestic beauty and the essence of Taihang's scenery. My understanding is that the wind at the summit is strong and temperature differences are sufficient, so a jacket and a thermos cup are the standard thing—don't risk freezing yourself when traveling light.
Friendly reminder: There are many slippery sections on the mountain roads, so especially when going downhill, pay attention to shifting your center of gravity and slowing down. You can bring a pair of knee pads. Visitors generally report that most believe Nantaihang is worth a special trip.

Baoquan Tourist Resort is located in Henan Huixian County, famous for its canyon waterfalls, Shuanglong Waterfall, and Red Stone Gorge. With mountains and water coexisting and cool summers, it's a great place for leisure, escaping the heat, and playing in the water with family. My understanding is that families with children should slow down the pace, choose gentle boardwalks, and don't rush to finish all the attractions.
Friendly reminder: The waterside paths in the canyon are slippery, so be sure to wear non-slip river trekking shoes or sports shoes, and keep your phone and other valuables waterproof.
