🚗 **Self-driving Guide:** Departure: Zhengzhou Route: Zhengzhou—Lianhuo Expressway—Zhengyun Expressway—Taohuayu Yellow River Bridge—Zhengyun Expressway—S233—Jinxin Expressway—S230—Huixian Expressway—Huixian—West from Huixian Xiaotun Crossroads—Shangbali Town—Baligou Scenic Area (about 130 kilometers) 🚌 **Bus Direct:** Take the bus from Zhengzhou Erma Road Bus Station to Huixian Bus East Station, then transfer to the direct bus to Baligou Scenic Area. 🅿️ **Parking Tip:** Baligou Scenic Area provides convenient parking services, and the parking fee is only 10 yuan. 💰 **Ticket Price:** 1. Adult ticket + round-trip transportation fee = 145 yuan 2. Student ticket + round-trip transportation fee = 90 yuan 3. Free admission for seniors over 60 years old/children under 1.4 meters, but a transportation fee of 40 yuan is required ⚠️ The ticket is valid for three days! Make sure to purchase the transportation ticket. Do not believe local minibuses in the parking lot that say they can take you in for free, because the scenic area is really huge. First, it's easy to get up but hard to get down, and second, there is a joint ticket for Jiulian Mountain and Tianjie Mountain within the large Baligou scenic area. If you suddenly decide to go to Jiulian Mountain and Tianjie Mountain, you will find yourself without transportation... 🚶‍♂️ **One-day Tour Recommended Route:** - Mountain Gate Square - Taohuawan Waterfall - Baodubridge Waterfall - Tongyou Bridge - Mountain God Temple Scenic Area - Macaque Protection Area - Taihang Tianhe Waterfall - One Line Sky - Hongshi River 🌄 **Two-day Tour Suggested Route:** **Day1:** - Erxian Bridge - Bao Bridge - Taohuawan Waterfall - General Pool - Zuixian Bridge - Yuhuang Palace - Macaque Protection Area - Yangzhou Land **Day2:** - Taihang Tianhe Waterfall - Climbing the Juebi Heavenly Ladder (at your own expense) - Hongshi River - Guanyin Cave - Echo Wall - Mushroom Stone - Heilong Pool - Baligou Village - One Line Sky Walk (or sightseeing elevator) 🌟 **Main Attractions Introduction:** 1. **One Line Sky🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟** A narrow mountain crevice, winding up hundreds of steps along the cliff, steep and perilous. 2. **Hongshi River🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟** Composed of red sandstone, the river valley is deep and secluded, with the babbling stream and orderly red stone slabs flowing endlessly. 3.**Tianhe Waterfall🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟** Truly magnificent, when it suddenly appears in front of you after a winding path, the spectacle of water coming down from the sky is truly breathtaking. 🔴 **Travel Tips:** - The Heavenly Ladder and One Line Sky are not to be missed, offering challenges more perilous than the Eighteen Bends of Mount Tai.
