Highlights

afternoon: visit Guoliang Cliff Road (~2.5h, hike to the summit for sweeping mountain views and fresh air). (This tour is photography-themed with ample shooting time along the route.)[Attraction intro] Wanxian Mountain: Official: Deep in the Taihang range of Huixian (Xinxiang), a scenic area blending gorges, cliffs and villages; its core, Guoliang Village, is known for the hand-carved “cliffside road” (hanging corridor). Personal note: On the cliffside road the window side drops into the abyss—sit in the middle if acrophobic. Mountain roads wind a lot; bring motion-sickness remedies, the views are worth it.; Guoliang Village: Official: Perched on a 1,000 m cliff in Wanxian Mountain, villagers hand-chiseled a ~1.3 km cliffside road through the rock (1972–1977), earning it the name “the world’s most perilous village.” Personal note: The cliffside road is the highlight—travel by day to see out the window. Stay a night in a stone cottage to catch the starry sky and sea of clouds.
