    "An ancient city in the water is free to enter the ancient city. There are several old houses and city walls. The antique commercial atmosphere is not so heavy. Except for the two commercial streets, the others are local residents. The local food is good. You must find a small shop to taste the local characteristics."

    "The staff at the visitor center have a very good service attitude and patiently and meticulously answer relevant questions. The scenery of the scenic spot is personally considered to be more general, and there is no special place to be. If it is not on the way, it is recommended to come carefully."

    "When I first entered this scenic spot, I felt so like I arrived at Baoding Baishi Mountain. Later, the more I walked in, the feeling was not so strong, and there was still a difference. Baishi Mountain is more beautiful, although it is a Taihang Mountain, here is more spectacular atmosphere, the existence of mountain knife and axe cutting, the plank road is longer and more twisted. There are not many steps up and down, only there will be more in the end. The scenic spot has planned three long, medium and short tour routes for you, the longest I have ever taken. The parking lot arrived at 9:30 in the morning, and the parking lot returned at 4:30 in the afternoon, about seven hours, a day. This is still a pass, 210 yuan, the upper and lower cableway, the middle three elevators. I am 54 years old and physically acceptable. So it is recommended that you still pass. Mainly the last shuttle bus down the mountain has stopped, and the road up the mountain must be re-walked down the mountain. It is said that the road down the mountain is planning to be renovated, so it takes time and physical strength, and it should save time when it is restored. There are not many tourists here, the service facilities on the mountain are quite complete, the supply station is OK, and the price is acceptable. In short, a good attraction."
