Attraction introduction: One highlight included in the itinerary is Jiaozuo, which boasts Yuntai Mountain Global Geopark. The red cliffs of Hongshi Gorge, the waters of Tanpu Gorge, waterfalls, and waterfalls, and the sea of clouds and sunrise at Zhuyu Peak, are the ultimate collection of the essence of Taihang's landscape. My understanding is that strong winds at the summit and temperature differences are sufficient, so a jacket and thermos are a must—don't risk freezing yourself when traveling light.

Friendly reminder: The mountain roads are slippery, so when going downhill, pay special attention to shifting your center of gravity and slowing down. You may need a pair of knee pads. Visitors generally agree that Jiaozuo is worth a special trip. It's recommended to slow down and follow the guide to listen to the explanations, saving time for the most impressive details and the best camera angles. Depending on the situation, it's best to shoot early or late—the light is soft and the dusk is the most photogenic, while the noon peak is cramped and flat, making it more cost-effective to rest.
