High Cost-Performance Ratio of Longtan Grand Canyon

Longtan Grand Canyon is located in the mountains of Xin'an County, Luoyang, Henan, mainly featuring the geological landscape of red rock valleys. It is often mentioned online as the only honest scenic spot that went bankrupt. Attracted by its reputation, I came to experience it and indeed found it to be very cost-effective. Here are some records for reference. 📍Scenic Spot Address: In the mountains of Xin'an County, Luoyang, Henan, not far from Damei Mountain. 🚗Scenic Spot Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself. If you depart from Zhengzhou or Luoyang, take the Lianhuo Expressway to Xin'an, then drive about 50 kilometers along the provincial road after exiting the expressway to reach the destination. Public transportation is not very convenient in my opinion. You either have to get to Xin'an County and then transfer to a bus to the scenic spot, or take a direct tourist bus from Luoyang, but there are very few bus trips from Luoyang, only in the morning to go and in the evening to return. Of course, where there is demand, there is a market. There are many private carpooling options to Luoyang at the entrance of the scenic spot, with reasonable prices, which you can choose. 👍️Must-Visit Spots: Longtan Canyon is a large scenic area. Once inside, just follow the main tour route. Along the way, there are mountains and water, following the river channel. There are large areas of water forming lakes, and slow-flowing shallow beaches, which are suitable for children to catch fish and shrimp. There is a distinctive rocky area in the canyon, which is said to have been formed by billions of years of water erosion. The scenery varies along the way, and the classic spots are all on the main route. 🎟️Ticket Information: Adult ticket: 80 yuan, with discounts available on Ctrip. Free for children under 12 years old or below 1.2 meters. Free for people over 60 years old. 💗Other Tips: It is recommended to go early if you are driving. Arriving early allows you to park closer to the entrance. There is traffic control at the entrance of the scenic spot. When it gets too crowded inside, they will only let in more cars after some have left, so if you arrive late, you might have to queue. The scenic spot is not very large. A day is enough if you just want to visit. However, we were leisurely and stayed overnight. There are a few fast-charging stations in the parking lot, so electric cars can be charged. However, during the day, these spots are often occupied by fuel cars, and we only found them available at night.
