Just came back to the nanny-level guide for a 2-day trip to Yuntai Mountain Icefall
Summary in one sentence 👉
A more suitable place for southern little potatoes to play in the snow and enjoy the ice ❄️
🚄Transportation
Trains from all over the country → Jiaozuo or Xiuwu West
① Jiaozuo, you can take a taxi directly, and there are few people sharing a car (about 20r/person)
②Xiuwu West, 🈶️Direct bus to the scenic area, you can also take a taxi and share a ride
⚠️In fact, self-driving tours are more recommended. It’s okay to just go to Yuntai Mountain. If you want to go to other places, you can’t get a taxi at all😭
🎫Tickets
The 198r annual pass package is really good! It's worth it even if you come just once
(If you don't take the cable car, you can choose an annual pass for 100r, which also includes the scenic bus)
📝Schedule
▪️day1⃣️Scenic area (Hongshixia→Zhuyu Peak→Phoenix Ridge)
🕑9:00-12:00: Red Stone Gorge. Purple quartz sandstone landscape, visit for about 2~3 hours
🕑12:00-13:30: Lunch, shore service area (very convenient to take the scenic shuttle bus)
🕑13:30-16:00: Zhuyu Peak (cable car 🚠up) → (hike down the mountain) → Fenghuangling (cable car 🚠down)
⚠️Zhuyu Peak🚶There are not many views along the way to Fenghuangling. If you are not obsessed with the glass plank road, you can take the Zhuyu Peak cable car, visit Guandi Temple and Yaowang Cave, and return to the cable car along the same route.
🕑16:00-18:00: Dinner, Hidden Mountain Cuisine (Xishan Aesthetic B&B)
▪️day2⃣️ Yuntaishan Spring Waterfall Gorge → Xiuwu South Slope
🕑9:00-13:00: The core of winter tour of Yuntaishan is the ice waterfall and ice hanging in Quanpu Gorge🧊, which is really beautiful! ! There are not many people during the holidays, so if you want to take photos, come in early. If you have children, you can play snow sports in the ice and snow world at the entrance, which takes about 3 to 4 hours.
🕑13:00-14:30: Lunch, shore service area
🕑14:30-16:00: Xiuwu South Slope. This is a literary village that I was looking forward to very much. 🈶️Fangsuo Bookstore and Bishan Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but they were not open. I was really angry and regretful.
🏨Accommodation
📍Shore service area: Yunduo☁️B&B. The shape is beautiful, the arc design is unique, the service is responsive, and the experience is nice~
📍Gudongyao Service Area: Xishan⛰️Aesthetic B&B. The scale is quite large, and there are many types of homestays, including Zhilan Bookstore, Yinshan Restaurant, Art Gallery, etc. You can also come to eat or drink tea or coffee if you don't stay~
🥢Food
📍At the shore service area, most people eat at the food street here. Recommended dishes include fried noodles, donkey meat fire cakes, unflipped eggs, and baked steamed buns~
📍Yinshanyao Restaurant, the yam chicken soup is delicious! ! Cost-effectiveness👌
