I've returned from Jinsixia! I want to go a second time, or I'll regret it!

Jinsixia is a national 5A-level tourist area, a national forest park, and a national geological park. It is known as the 'Capital of Canyons', 'China's Marvelous Gorge', 'World's Marvelous Gorge', and 'China's Most Beautiful Grand Canyon'. The scenic area includes Bailongxia, Heilongxia, Qinglongxia, Shiyanzhai, and the source of the Danjiang River, with more than a hundred attractions in five major scenic spots. It's so close to home, I really regret not having visited before!! Last weekend, I drove to Jinsixia, and the scenery was truly worth it. 📍 Address: 18 kilometers from Jinsixia Town, Shangnan County, Shangluo City 🌼 Opening hours: 07:00-16:00 🎫 Ticket: Ticket + scenic shuttle bus 125 yuan/person (online single ticket 95 yuan/person) 🚙 Transportation: 🚌 Long-distance bus: About 3-4 hours, suitable for individual travel or group tours, more comfortable and cost-effective, saves time and effort, goes directly to Liyuan Gate or Ludu Gate, if the visitor service center stops you, just say you're staying at a hotel or something, and drive straight through~ 🚗 Self-driving: About 3 hours, suitable for multiple people, tolls and fuel costs are shared at once 📍 Travel distance: Aside from the scenic shuttle bus, the one-way walking distance is about 10 kilometers The scenic area has 2 gates: Ludu Gate (mid-mountain), Liyuan (mountaintop) 1.

There is also a boating project inside, 30 yuan/person, not cost-effective, and the route is not long. 3. The cable car does not go to the top of the mountain, try not to take it if possible. To reach the mountaintop, you still have to climb for 1-2 hours. 🍝 Food: At the foot of the mountain, there are many farmhouses that run their own hotels, and the meals are all farmhouse-style, with more reasonable prices. 💡 Notes: 1. When going, be prepared for sun protection, sunglasses, sun umbrellas, etc., and bring a power bank, camera. 2. Consider bringing some snacks and fruits. 3. It's not easy to park here, try to go early
