Gather in the morning and depart for Guoliang Village, follow the guide to visit key attractions, and allow plenty of time for photos and rest; Enjoy local specialties at noon, check in at the hotel in the evening, and recharge for the next day's itinerary.

Attraction introduction: Today's itinerary includes Guoliang Village attractions. Guoliang Village is hidden deep within the sheer cliffs of the Taihang Mountains and is famous worldwide for its "Cliffside Road"—in the 1970s, villagers worked to open a passage with the outside world without any large machinery, spending over five years chiseling a tunnel about 1,300 meters long on the cliff face, a miracle known as the "Modern Foolish Old Man." This cliff-hanging road is now the most hardcore check-in spot in the Taihang Mountains, offering views of deep abysses and canyon villages along the way. Guoliang Village It is also called the "Chinese Film Village" because many TV dramas have been filmed here. My understanding is that when walking the wall-hanging road, you should allow enough time to watch and take photos while watching, paying attention to your steps and passing vehicles; Early morning or evening is best for lighting; midday is rather plain. Wear non-slip shoes and avoid getting too close to the cliff.

Friendly reminder: The ancient town is crisscrossed with streets and alleys, making it easy to get lost. Remember the meeting time and clear landmarks. Visitors generally report that the cliffside stone village is connected to the cliffside road, making the filming location a natural story. Reminder: Village food and accommodation are simple, so lower expectations and enjoy more. Based on actual conditions, don't just focus on taking photos; pay attention to your steps and surroundings. Be sure to stand firmly on the viewing platform and the edges of the boardwalk.

Gather in the morning and depart for Wanxian Mountain, follow the guide to visit core attractions, and allow plenty of time for photos and rest; Enjoy local specialties at noon, check into the hotel in the evening, and recharge for the next day's journey.

Attraction introduction: This stop is Wanxian Mountain. The Wanxian Mountain scenic area is deep in the Taihang Mountains of Huixian, with the Guoliang Cliff Highway and Nanpingdan Branch Valley both within it. The red cliffs intertwine with waterfalls and clear pools, making it one of the most iconic landscape galleries of the Taihang Mountains. This area is famous for filming many TV dramas. Attractions like Guoliang Village, Tianchi, and Fortress form a stunning Taihang hiking route. The summer temperatures are pleasant, making it a place where you can get close to the Taihang mountains and waters just steps 3⟧ and 2⟧. My understanding is that the hike is heavy and there are many steps, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes; Watch out for passing vehicles on the cliff-hanging road section; early morning and evening light makes the red cliffs the best for photos.

Friendly reminder: The mountain roads are quite slippery, so be sure to shift your center of gravity back and slow down on downhill slopes. Knee pads are recommended. Visitors generally report that the cliff-hanging road (Guoliang Cave) is the most impressive and photogenic, and mountain roads often cause motion sickness. Prepare motion sickness medicine and walk slowly on the viewing platform to take care. Depending on the situation, take photos early or late—the light is soft and the dusk is best when there are few people, and golden light at dusk is best for photos. At noon, the top lights are cramped and flat, so it's more cost-effective to rest.

Gather and depart for Red Flag Canal in the morning, follow the guide to visit core attractions, and allow plenty of time for photos and rest; Enjoy local specialties at noon, check into the hotel in the evening, and recharge for the next day's itinerary.

Attraction introduction: This stop is Red Flag Canal,Red Flag Canal is the "artificial Heavenly River" carved by the people of Linzhou on the sheer cliffs of the Taihang Mountains in the 1960s. It is over 1,500 kilometers long, leveling 1,250 mountain peaks, installing more than 150 aqueducts, and drilling more than 200 tunnels. It took nearly ten years to complete and is a monument to the Chinese nation's spirit of self-improvement. Youth Cave is the most dangerous section of the entire route, carved by 300 young commandos from the cliff face; Fenshuiyuan and Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall fully recount the arduous process of canal construction. This is a combination of red education and the magnificent scenery of Taihang, and today it is also a breathtaking cultural landmark. My understanding is that you should first visit the memorial hall to understand the canal construction background, then walk through Youth Cave to truly understand the canal's significance; Walk along the canal within your means, wear non-slip shoes, and watch your step.

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. Visitors generally report that the "Artificial Tianhe" has strong spiritual landmark attributes, making it relatable to middle-aged visitors; The exhibition hall's explanations are worth listening to, helping you understand that history. Considering actual conditions, dehydration is the worst on long journeys; carry a water bottle and drink water in small amounts frequently; On the first night in plateau or mountainous areas, avoid washing your hair or bathing too long, giving your body some room to adjust.

Arrange dedicated shuttles to the station or airport according to flight or train schedule, ending a pleasant journey and returning full of memories.

Friendly reminder: On your return day, be sure to check your flight or train schedule, leave early, and leave with plenty of space. Before checking out, check again to see if anything is missing. Tourists generally report that most buy souvenirs in advance on their return trip. It's recommended to buy them at official stores and keep your receipt to avoid panicking before departure. Depending on the situation, bring some change and small packs of snacks. These will be useful when the scenic area has poor signal or emergency supplies—don't wait until you're hungry to find them.
