2024 Huixian Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

The MOST dangerous tunnel in China🤯😱

A few months ago, my friend and I explored the Guoliang Tunnel in The Wanxian Mountains, also known as one of China's most dangerous roads. One of the reasons it holds this title is because of the way it was built. The 2 km tunnel was hand- carved by local mountain villagers, many of whom lost their lives working on this "sky ladder". After 5 years of construction and 4000 hammers, this road now links the Guoliang village to the outside world. Today, it can be dangerous to drive through the narrow and steep tunnel to the mountain, but after seeing the breathtaking caves, it is absolutely worth it! 🗻 Come mentality and physically prepared!! 🙏 📍Guoliang Tunnel, Henan, China #passionpassport #hiking #mountainview #nationalpark #china

Here are some recommended hotels in Baligou! The super nice Qingliangge Guesthouse.

I've already written a guide to Baligou, please see my pinned post. 📒 Today, I'm going to recommend some hotels in Baligou. Baligou is a combination of several scenic areas. Jiulianshan is for worshiping Buddha, Baligou is for playing in the water, and Tianjieshan is for hiking. After entering the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area, you have to walk about 10 km to reach the gate of Baligou Scenic Area. Therefore, the guesthouses along the way are relatively scattered. Some guesthouses are inside Baligou Scenic Area, some are at the entrance of the scenic area, and some are about 1 or 2 km from the entrance of the scenic area. 🌟 Qingliangge Guesthouse is located on a slope about 500 meters from the entrance of the scenic area. The location is great, and the view is particularly beautiful. There are a total of 20 rooms. It doesn't look very impressive from the outside, but the rooms are nicely decorated. The bed runners and throw pillows are all matching, and the central air conditioning is very comfortable. It's rare to find a guesthouse with central air conditioning. 🌟 The bathtub rooms on the front side of the hotel have large floor-to-ceiling glass balconies. When you open the curtains, you can see the scenery on three sides. The majestic mountains stretch endlessly, and the white curtains hang down, making it a great place for photos. The back of the hotel has an open terrace, closer to the mountains, with branches right in front of you. The fresh air after the rain and the scent of grass are refreshing. 🌟 Most importantly, the price is not high. The suites, which are large and come with a living room, bathtub, and balcony, are only listed as double rooms by the owner and are sold for just over 300 yuan. Finding such a room while traveling is like finding a hidden gem. I highly recommend this guesthouse. I was amazed when I went to take photos. The entrance is very ordinary, but the inside is very nice. It's a guesthouse with great value for money!

It is also the first time I have felt the magnificence of the Central Plains. Baoquan is like the Jade Pool left by the Queen Mother of the West in the mortal world. The water of the Emerald Sea is as green as jade and is indescribably beautiful. Spend a day with me to check in this beautiful scenery.

Guoliang Hanging Highway

Guoliang Hanging Highway, also known as Guoliang Cave, is located in Guoliang Village, Shayao Township, Huixian City, Xinxiang City, Henan Province. It is a famous hanging highway. It was started in 1972 and completed in 1977, all by the villagers of Guoliang Village. Among them, the thirteen villagers who were mainly responsible for excavation were called the "Thirteen Heroes of Guoliang Cave". This highway is known as one of the "ten most dangerous roads in the world" and one of the "18 most peculiar highways in the world". The construction of Guoliang Hanging Highway embodies the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation. During the construction process, no machinery was used, and it was all excavated by manpower. It took more than 5 years to build this passable road. Its opening to traffic has made Guoliang Village, a cliff village hidden in the mountains and steep cliffs, appear in front of the world, becoming the first scenic spot of Wanxian Mountain, a national 4A-level scenic spot in Huixian City, Henan Province. The Guoliang Hanging Highway is 1,250 meters long, 5 meters high, and 4 meters wide. It is an artificial tunnel excavated on the 400-meter-high cliff of South Taihang, also known as "Guoliang Cave". During the construction process, a total of 60,000 workers were invested, 24,000 cubic meters of stone chips were cleared, 12 tons of steel drills were consumed, and 2,000 hammers. At that time, Guoliang Village invested 80,000 yuan to dig a hole, and invested another 400,000 yuan for expansion in 2001. Today, Guoliang Hanging Highway is not only a famous tourist attraction, but also an important source of income for local villagers. Its existence not only shows the magnificent epic of the struggle between man and nature, but also becomes a valuable spiritual wealth to inspire future generations. Tourists can take the scenic spot's tourist bus into the scenic spot, and they will pass the hanging highway on the way. After reaching the terminal, you can get off and return to Guoliang Cave for a visit. For safety reasons, private cars are currently not allowed to enter the scenic area.

South Taihang…October 2nd to 6th, 2024.

Shuangdi Village→Yew Grand Canyon→Mawu Village→Yixiantian→Baodu Village→Laolongkou→Xilian Temple→Lightless Tunnel→Xiyagou→Cross Ridge→Shuangrufeng (Wangmangling)→Dishui Village→Yingpan Village→Kunshan Village→Guoliang Village The entire hike is 64 kilometers, climbing 2,668 meters, and takes 25 hours. D0: Shanghai Hongqiao Station 10:15→G1948→Jiaozuo Station 16:26→Shuangdi Village 21:40 I finally got my ticket and quickly packed my hiking bag. I didn’t dare to book accommodation because I wasn’t sure about the itinerary, so I had to carry a tent, a camera tripod, a power bank, and a spare solar charger. Before setting off, I weighed the total weight of the backpack, which is 13 kilograms. . Today's trip was all about taking rides. Unexpectedly, the originally expected 1.5-hour trip from Jiaozuo to Double Bottom turned into a 5-hour drive. There are inexplicable traffic jams along the way. The two turning corners and the B&B Village parking lot occupy the driveway, turning the two-lane traffic into a single-lane traffic. No wonder there is a traffic jam. Dinner... I didn't eat all the way because of the traffic jam. I went to Double Bottom B&B at almost ten o'clock in the evening and asked the boss to cook a bowl of egg noodles. D1: Shuangdi Village 06:30 (elevation 773 meters) → Yew Grand Canyon → 10 kilometers → Mawu Village 11:42 (1,286 meters) → 4 kilometers → Yixiantian (1,015 meters) → 4.5 kilometers → Baodu Village 18 :00 (700 meters) → 1.6 kilometers → Laolongkou 19:15 (800 meters): The total mileage of this section is about 20 kilometers, and the climb is about 600 meters. It takes 9 hours to hike (I queued for 2 hours on the first line). The Yew Canyon is the most beautiful and comfortable part of the entire journey, but you have to wade through the water constantly. The water is not deep, but you are worried about getting your shoes and socks wet. It is actually easy to pass if you bring slippers that are not afraid of water. The terrain along the way to Baodu Village is diverse and it is quite interesting to walk. However, in the first line of sky, the iron chain rock wall terrain is relatively steep and dangerous, so you still have to be careful. Meals are available in Mawuzhai Village (15 yuan for a full meal) and Baodu Village. You don’t have to worry about supplies. You can ask the restaurant to help replenish mobile phone power during meals. However, the B&Bs in Baodu Village are almost fully booked during the holiday, and some B&Bs will provide tent accommodation. If you bring your own tent, we recommend going about 1.5 kilometers further to Laolongkou to camp, where the scenery is beautiful and the atmosphere is good. Shuangdi Village Yew Canyon Mawu Village Hold a calf D2: Laolongkou 07:30 (800 meters) → 8.5 kilometers → Xilian Temple 10:00 (825 meters) → 3.8 kilometers → Lightless Tunnel 13:23 (1,181 meters) → 2.5 kilometers → Xiyagou 14:30 ( 986 meters) → 7.4 kilometers → Cross Ridge 18:00 (1,716 meters): This section of the journey is about 22 kilometers, climbing 900 meters, and takes 9 hours of hiking. The terrain along the way from Laolongkou to Xilian Temple is flat and easy to walk on, so you can use it to make progress. You can go in to Xilian Temple to pray for your trip. After Xilian Temple, there is a 350-meter climb to the Lightless Tunnel. After exiting the Lightless Tunnel, take the highway to the Xiyagou Scenic Area. It is best to replenish some water here. There is no water supply when you come to Cross Ridge Road. There is no iron house to replenish water until the intersection about two kilometers before Cross Ridge. From Xiyagou to Shiziling, there is a steep climb on winding mountain roads and paths. When you exit Xiyagou, you will see the international hiking route sign and continue walking forward for a while. You will encounter the scenic spot ticket purchase point about 30 meters ahead and there is a hiking trail for travelers on the left. Start cutting up there. This section of the road is about 7.5 kilometers and climbs 700 meters, which takes about 3.5 hours. You need to control the climbing time in the second half of the day and have a headlight in the dark to avoid danger. About two kilometers before Cross Ridge, you will see many people starting to rush to camp. In fact, the scenery when camping is more beautiful when you go up to Cross Ridge. There are also accommodation, meals and supplies provided by iron houses if you go further to the left. I didn't see it at that time. I only had 750 ml of water left on me. It was very difficult to find water that night. When I saw the supplies at Cross Ridge, I immediately checked three lines. I was so sad last night. You can dine at Xilian Temple and Xiyagou to replenish your batteries. If you stop at the supply point at Shiziling, it will be a pity that you will not be able to see the beautiful sunset and sunrise. Hold a calf Xilian Temple Taihang Xiyagou Tourist Resort cross ridge D3: Cross Ridge 07:30 (1,716 meters) → 10 kilometers → Shuangrufeng (Wangmangling) 11:39 (1,515 meters) → 1.3 kilometers → Dishuizhai 12:40 (1,012 meters) → Take a ride → Yingpan Village → Take a ride → Kunshan Guabi Tunnel 17:00 (1,118 meters) → 3 kilometers → Kunshan Village 17:40 (900 meters) : This section of the trip is about 14 kilometers of hiking, with a descent of about 700 meters, and a walking time of 5 hours. After coming down from Cross Ridge, the route to Wangmangling basically goes along the waist, which is relatively easy, and there are a bunch of sheep grazing on the road, so the scenery is pretty good. But when we got to Shuangrufeng in Wangmangling Scenic Area, we walked a bit wrong. I didn’t do enough homework. When I got to Shuangrufeng, there was a fork in the road and I should have gone left along the wooden plank road. But I saw a bunch of trekking friends resting and laying down under Shuangrufeng. The signs are all marked on the right side, so I walked right, and then there was a terrifying 500-meter descent of 1 kilometer. It took me an hour to get to the bottom, and I was hungry. The food from the nearby Dishuizhai farmhouse was 15 yuan, so I went in first to eat. Let’s talk later. Halfway through the meal, I asked the old lady next to me how to hike to Guoliang Village in Kunshan. She was stunned for a moment. She had to climb a mountain to get there, and that road was in that direction...ah! Wasn't that the steep descent I just made? You don't want to climb up again. It will take at least two hours to climb steeply. If you climb to the top and walk again, you won't be able to reach Kunshan at night. In the end, I had to rent a car to return to the entrance of Wangmangling Scenic Area. The master at the entrance of the scenic area couldn't figure out where to go. Later, I asked a roadside B&B and found that I couldn't walk across Kunshan Hanging Wall. I had to take a bus from the scenic area and had to go to Yingpan Village. Buy a ticket and take a scenic bus through the Kunshan Hanging Wall Tunnel, then let the instructor put it down at the entrance of the Guqiao Tunnel on foot, and finish the remaining three kilometers of winding mountain road to Kunshan Village. For meals, Wangmangling should have food and beverage supplies when entering the scenic area, but because he was cut off, he ate at Dishuizhai for 15 yuan. cross ridge Wangmangling Scenic Area Kunshan hanging wall highway D4: Kunshan Village 7:30 (900 meters) → 7 kilometers → Guoliang Village 9:40 (800 meters): This section of the journey is about 7 kilometers, with a descent of about 100 meters, and a walking time of 2 hours. Guoliang hanging wall highway The entire hike is 64 kilometers, climbing 2,668 meters, and takes 25 hours. Main equipment: 38 liters osprey kitty bag, NH double mountaineering tent (1.6 kg), sleeping bag Black Ice G400 (1 kg), camera tripod (1.1 kg), camera 18~135 lens (1.2 kg), fire maple stove + 110g gas Can, two power banks, mobile solar charger, BD*2 trekking poles, headlamp, knee pads. This time, I boiled the 110-gram gas tank with fire maple for about two times and used less than 1/3. It seems that I didn’t cook a lot, but the 110-gram gas tank was just right.
