Check in at Yunqiu Mountain's Thousand-Year Ice Cave

Yunqiu Mountain is located in Linfen County, Shanxi Province. The purpose of coming here is to see the thousand-year-old ice cave. The Yunqiu Mountain Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave Group is one of the three largest ice cave groups in the world. It was formed during the Quaternary Glacial Period and has a history of more than 3 million years (hence the name Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave). In an arid and water-scarce place like Shanxi, the cause of the formation of ice caves remains a mystery. The naturally formed group of ice caves have walls covered with ice that never melts all year round. The ice spikes, icicles and ice waterfalls in the cave are crystal clear, showing dreamy colors under the illumination of lights, as if you have walked into a mythical world of glacial romance. 🐟🐟Transportation strategy: Take the high-speed rail from Taiyuan Station to Houma West Station (about 1 hour), and then take a taxi directly to Yunqiu Scenic Area (fare is about 100 yuan). 🐟🐟Play time: The ice cave is not large and it takes about 20 minutes to walk through it. However, since the temperature is below minus 10 degrees Celsius all year round, remember to wear a down jacket and cape before entering the cave, otherwise you will freeze to death. The road surface of the ice cave is also very slippery, so you must be extra careful when walking to avoid slipping. The ice cave ticket is 120 yuan per person. 🐟🐟Other attractions: As a national 5A scenic spot, Yunqiu Mountain has many other attractions besides the Wannian Ice Cave, such as Yuhuangding (where you can take a cable car), Yuanyang Bridge (glass suspension bridge), and Talpo Ancient Village (a folk village with many homestays and a good environment. If you want to stay for one night, you can choose here). If time permits, it is recommended to stay in Yunqiu Mountain for one night and play for two days, which is the most enjoyable. #See the Earth in an instant
