Jiaozuo 3-Day Tour: Wanxianshan & Guoliang Village

Early in the morning, head straight from the hotel to Wanxian Mountain, first listen to the guide explain the background and highlights, then enjoy a leisurely tour and take additional camera photos based on your interests; After lunch, take a short rest, then return to the hotel in the evening to recharge for the next day.

Attraction introduction: One of the highlights included in the itinerary is Wanxian Mountain. Wanxian Mountain is located deep within the Taihang Mountains in Huixian, with the Guoliang Cliff Highway and Nanpingdan Valley. 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 Fortresses form a stunning Taihang hiking route. The summer temperatures are pleasant, making it a place not far from Zhengzhou and Luoyang that you can get close to the Taihang landscape. 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 along the cliff-hanging road; early morning and evening light makes the red cliffs the best for photos.

Friendly reminder: The mountain area has large temperature differences between morning and evening, and the wind at the summit is strong, so a windproof jacket and warm inner layer are very necessary. Visitors generally report that the cliff-hanging road (Guoliang Cave) is the most stunning and photogenic, and the mountain road often causes motion sickness; Prepare motion sickness medicine and walk slowly to the viewing platform. Based on the actual situation, if you want authentic food, head deeper into the alleys; the main entrance has long lines and average taste; Ask about prices before comparing local specialties; local supermarkets tend to be more authentic.

Today's Guoliang Village Taihang trip focuses on the cliff-hanging road and the film village, then offers distant views of canyon villages; Afternoon reshoot, evening rest.

Attraction introduction: One of the highlights of the itinerary is Guoliang Village. Guoliang Village is hidden deep within the sheer cliffs of the Taihang Mountains and is famous worldwide for its 'Cliff-Hanging Road.' In the 1970s, villagers worked to open a passage to the outside world, and without any large machinery, spent over five years carving a tunnel about 1,300 meters long into the cliff face—a miracle known as the 'Modern Foolish Old Man.' Today, this cliff-hanging road is the most must-see photo spot in the Taihang Mountains, offering views of the deep abyss and canyon villages along the way. Guoliang Village It is also called the 'Chinese Film Village' because many TV dramas have filmed here. My understanding is that when walking the wall-hanging road, you should allow plenty of time to watch and take photos, and pay 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 full of local specialties—try before you buy, compare prices, and shop rationally. Visitors generally say that the cliff-top stone village is connected to the cliffside road, and the filming locations have their own stories; Village food and accommodation are simple, so lower expectations and enjoy more. Based on actual conditions, leave some energy allowance: focus on the main events in the morning and slow down in the afternoon to avoid overexertion on the first day and feel bored in the following days.

Transfer to the station/airport per your departure, ending a pleasant journey.
