Jiaozuo 3-Day Tour: Scenic Area & Longtan Grand Canyon

Today's Longtan Grand Canyon waterside trip focused on Liubutan and Yixiantian to experience the "canyon's finest" red rock landforms; Rest in the afternoon and check in at night.

Attraction introduction: Today's itinerary includes Jiaozuo attractions, Jiaozuo and the Yuntai Mountain Global Geopark, the red cliffs of Hongshi Gorge, the clear waters of Dan Cliff, the flying waterfalls of Tanpu Gorge, and the sunrise over Zhuyu Peak, all of which are the essence of Taihang's landscape. My understanding is that hiking should be done within your means. Cable cars should be saved wherever possible, but those with bad knees shouldn't force themselves to hike. The scenery is not about forcing yourself.

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 Jiaozuo is worth a special trip. It's recommended to slow down and follow the guide's explanation, saving time for the most impressive details and the best camera angles. Based on the actual situation, don't shop impulsively. When you see a "limited-time offer," calm down for three minutes; If you really want to bring souvenirs, make sure to buy a reputable store and keep your receipt for peace of mind.

Gather in the morning and depart for Erlitou. Follow the guide along the main route, visit all the highlights one by one, and allow enough time for photos and rest; Enjoy local specialties at noon, continue deeper in the afternoon, check into the hotel in the evening, and recharge for the next day's itinerary.

Attraction introduction: This stop is Longtan Grand Canyon. Longtan Grand Canyon is located in Xin'an, a canyon famous for its Hongyan valley and water flowing upward, earning it the reputation of "Canyon Masterpiece" and "Ancient Marine Natural Museum." Trails like Liubutan and Yixiantian are highly water-friendly, with the Hongyan cliffs and clear waters complementing each other. In summer, it's especially cool and refreshing, making it a family-friendly spot not far from Luoyang city. The canyon stretches for several kilometers, with waterfalls, deep pools, and strange rocks lining the way, offering a new view at every step. My understanding is that wearing a pair of non-slip stream trekking shoes or sneakers is ideal, and valuables like phones should be waterproofed; Families with children should slow down and choose gentle boardwalks to avoid rushing to the end.

Friendly reminder: The canyon trail is adjacent to water and cliffs. Do not climb over guardrails or play in dangerous areas, and watch out for accompanying children.
