Cities around Luoyang can be reached in 2 hours! Jincheng, Shanxi! The best route for a day trip! .

Shanxi is on the top of the mountain and Henan is at the foot of the mountain, which directly brings the two neighboring cities into the closest relationship. Shanxi is also a province under national protection and is worth visiting again and again. Since we only have one day and want to leave the province, Jincheng is the perfect choice. ✅🚶‍♂️【Route】: Jade Emperor Temple - Qinglian Temple - Jue Mountain Reference time: 10:30 arrival - 18:00 return ✅⏰【Reservation】 Follow 👑 account: Fengya Jincheng, you can make free reservations for Jade Emperor Temple, Qinglian Temple, Jincheng Museum, and Jue Mountain directly go to the scenic spot to buy tickets or group purchase ⚠️Be sure to make reservations in advance during holidays.

We went there on October 1st, and the expressway was free. ✅💰【Food】: Please prepare some food in the car. There is no food in these scenic spots. There are only a few farmhouses. When we went there, only one was open. If you want to eat, you need navigation: Jincheng City ✅🚶‍♀️【Tour route】: 📍First stop: Jade Emperor Temple 👉Now renamed Jade Emperor Temple Color Sculpture and Mural Museum, the overall architecture is full of beauty. The main hall of the Jade Emperor Temple is a relic of the Northern Song Dynasty, and there are also Yuan Dynasty buildings and Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings. The colors are particularly beautiful, especially the blue roof, and the buildings are also well-arranged. There are also the well-preserved Twenty-Eight Constellations. Although they are enclosed by railings, one is still amazed by the shapes of these statues. The colored sculptures of the Twenty-Eight Constellations are known as "the only one in the country" and can be regarded as the pinnacle achievement of ancient Chinese Taoist sculpture art. 👉I also received the guidebook and postcards for following Wukong to travel in Shanxi. 📍Second stop: Qinglian Temple 👉Driving directly from Jade Emperor Temple to Qinglian Temple, the distance is not far, but there is no place to eat, so I decided to find one after visiting. On October 1st, there will be staff to direct traffic, and the service is very good 👉Qinglian Temple is divided into the upper temple and the lower temple. The lower temple also has a well-preserved Tang Dynasty stupa. The Qinglian Temple represents half of the history of ancient architecture. It is built on the mountain and surrounded by mountains. It is really quiet and secluded. Opposite it is Jue Mountain. It must be very beautiful in autumn. The Qinglian Temple is also a national protected unit. Its value cannot be described in a few words, so it is better to follow it with an explanation. 📍The third stop: Jue Mountain 👉The entrance to Jue Mountain is not far from Qinglian Temple, and you need to turn around. Finally, we found a farm house where we could have dinner on the road. The ticket price for Jue Mountain is 50 yuan per person. There were not many people on October 1st. ⛰Jue Mountain Scenic Area belongs to the Taihang Mountains. Jue Mountain was originally named Jiao Mountain and is a famous mountain for moon viewing. Jue Mountain is the "Holy Land of Taoism in China" Since ancient times, it has been known as "Wudang in the South, Jue Mountain in the North" 👉Climbing Difficulty: ✨✨✨ The whole process is climbing up and down, but it has a cable car🚠, and there are nearly vertical stairs in the middle, which is really challenging. There was a section where my heart rate was super high and I could see the Taihang Mountains from the top of the mountain. The vegetation is lush and it is more suitable to visit in November, when you can see the mountains covered with colorful forests. ✅【Return trip】: Hahaha🤭, the highway exit is not far from Jue Mountain, and the randomly arranged route is just right. It was also a spontaneous departure. I had a very good impression of Shanxi the first time I came here.
