When you travel to Shanxi, you must visit the Taihang Grand Canyon in Shanxi. It is the wonder of Chinese nature. You must drive here by yourself. The 800-li Taihang is what I mean. The scenery along the way is so stunning. It is the same as Jiuzhaigou, with blue-green water. You will not feel tired when you bring your children here. You will take the shuttle bus first, then the boat, then the cable car, and then the elevator. It feels great.

The best gift of travel is exposure. You'll learn that people in different places have different lifestyles; some places prefer salty food, others prefer sweet; some people work from dawn till dusk, while others live at a leisurely pace. Having witnessed different ways of life, you'll no longer be fixated on your own way, become more tolerant of differences, and your heart will broaden. This is the growth that travel brings.

The Ewu Tiansheng Bridge in Huguan, Shanxi, is the largest existing natural stone arch in the north (about 50 meters). It is suspended over a ravine hundreds of meters deep, and its momentum is impressive. As a karst landform wonder, the bridge is thick and shaped like a giant gate. It has been formed by thousands of years of water erosion and weathering, and its geological value is precious. Surrounded by cliffs and deep canyons, it retains its original wild beauty. Hiking on the cliff trails, you can feel the visual impact of both thrilling and magnificent. It is even more mysterious when surrounded by clouds and mist. It can be called the geological secret and adventure resort of the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon.
