Shanxi Changzhi early autumn is refreshingly cool! 20℃ canyon + lamb soup freedom, students enjoy 48 hours of intense fun

Just out of the dog days of summer, while the whole country is still "steaming in a sauna," Shanxi Changzhi has quietly dropped to 20℃! The water in Baquan Gorge suddenly turns emerald green, migratory birds gather for check-ins, and a bowl of lamb soup warms you all over... Students with 500 yuan in hand can explore the canyon, slurp lamb soup, and stay in hostels—this reverse tourism trip is a total steal! 🔥 Baquan Gorge "Immortal Cultivation" experience (with photo cheat codes) ✔️ Must-try activities: - Secret boat tour: Spend 180 yuan on a package ticket (half price for students!), first take a boat through the canyon! The water surface is as smooth as a mirror, the mountain walls on both sides just tinged with autumn colors, morning mist drifting—photos look like scenes from a fantasy drama (the boat ride is included in the package, don’t buy it separately or you’ll lose out). - Hiking surprises: Don’t spend 80 yuan on the cable car! Walk along the plank road, you can touch the waterfall water and even encounter wild macaques (bring some snacks, they’ll beg for food, but don’t feed them too much~). - Golden photo spot: At 4 pm, the sunlight slants and the canyon walls "glow"! Stand on the viewing platform for panoramic shots, small people big scenery, your friends will flood your social media asking "Where is this fairyland?" 🚄 Money-saving transportation hacks (student exclusive) - From Taiyuan: High-speed train takes 38 minutes to Changzhi East Station (ticket 59 yuan), then take tourist shuttle line 1 (10 yuan) directly to Baquan Gorge, saving 60 yuan compared to a taxi! - Getting around the city: Carpool between scenic spots costs 15 yuan per person (cheaper with a group of 4), buses are 2 yuan anytime, ignore the "enthusiastic sales" from unlicensed drivers! 🍲 Food attack: Lamb soup + snacks to your heart’s content - Huguan lamb soup: Look for **"Lao Huangjia Lamb Soup"**! 20 yuan a bowl piled with lamb, served with freshly baked sesame flatbread (2 yuan), soup refills are free! After drinking, your forehead will sweat, the early autumn chill is instantly driven away. - Hidden eats: - Changzhi stewed noodles (finer than Henan style, 10 yuan a bowl); - Pan-fried buns (3 for 1 yuan, crispy bottom with juicy filling, eat to your fill for 10 yuan at the night market). ⚠️ Three pitfall warnings (learned the hard way!) 1. Don’t trust “wild guides” in the scenic area: The package ticket includes guidance, just follow it and save 200 yuan on explanation fees! 2. Don’t eat lamb soup inside the scenic area: It’s three times more expensive at the entrance, take a 10-minute bus to the old city shops for more meat and richer soup! 3. Don’t wear slippers for hiking: The plank road has steps, sneakers are the life-saving gear (don’t ask me how I know…) Early autumn in Changzhi, cool breeze in the canyon, lamb soup to the point of burping, students can feel like “reclusive heroes” on a budget! Quickly your lazy buddy and put “Shanxi summer escape” on your schedule, miss it and you’ll have to wait another year~
