Baoquan Cliff & Grand Canyon Day Tour, a nanny-level guide

First, my impressions: the scenery is nice, and the facilities in the scenic area are quite complete. To exaggerate a bit, there's a trash can every five steps and a public toilet every ten steps, with free hot water provided. There aren't many stairs to climb, so you won't feel too tired after playing around. Now, let me introduce it in detail. Essentials Make sure to bring a full set of sun protection gear. It was mostly cloudy today, but I still felt the sunburn. It's advised to wear a pair of comfortable sports shoes, as there are some stairs to climb and a lot of walking to do. Also, bring a pair of water shoes or buy a pair on-site for twenty to thirty yuan. As for food and drinks, we only had a bottle of mineral water and a cup of machine-made cola throughout the day, because we weren't very tired, so we didn't consume much water. One bottle is enough. If you buy it in the scenic area, it's 4 yuan per bottle. We didn't bring any food, as there are many food vendors in the scenic area, and the prices are normal for a tourist spot, not too outrageous. I roughly remember the prices: ice cream cone 7, machine-made cola 9, hamburger 15, covered rice 25+, and I didn't ask the price for hot dry noodles and cold skin noodles. Lastly, bring a power bank, tissues, wet wipes, and essential balm as needed, and try to travel light. Self-driving route and tickets I departed from Zhengzhou, took the West Third Ring Road to the Lianhuo Expressway, then switched to the Zhengyun Expressway. The whole journey is over 90 kilometers, about 1 hour and 20 minutes, with a toll fee of 46 yuan, and the parking fee in the scenic area is 10 yuan for one day. Tickets are divided into two: Baoquan Cliff and the Grand Canyon. The Baoquan Cliff ticket includes the Grand Canyon. Baoquan Cliff ticket: Adult 180, Student 110, Child 95 Grand Canyon ticket: Adult 100, Student 69, Child 30 From 6.9 to 6.30, college entrance exam students are exempt from the scenic area ticket Baoquan Cliff From the visitor center, take a bus to the Luoga Temple cable car, ride the world's largest single-body cable car to reach the cliff top, and start the Baoquan Cliff scenic area tour. Baoquan Cliff mainly consists of some attractions on the cliff and thrilling activities, such as rock climbing, roller coasters, cliff swings, glass walkways, and bungee jumping. Finally, a 336-meter elevator takes you through the mountain in 52 seconds to reach the Grand Canyon scenic area. Grand Canyon After taking the L-shaped elevator to the Grand Canyon, you arrive at the busiest part of the canyon, where there are many small food shops, including Xuewang and Dicos. To the left is a place for kids to play in the water, and further inside is similar to Bali Gou, with a waterfall at the deepest part. To the right is the direction of the scenic area exit. If you're not too tired, it's recommended to walk out and take a bus to the visitor center, a distance of about 2.5 kilometers. If you're tired, there's a ferry car on the opposite side for 15 yuan per person, which takes you directly to the bus stop. Small tips We didn't queue up for any activities, and it took us about 6 hours in total for Baoquan Cliff & Grand Canyon. The roller coaster was under maintenance and not open, so if you want to play, you might want to call ahead to avoid a wasted trip. There were a lot of people rock climbing, all waiting in line to pass, and the queue for the cliff swing was estimated to be over 30 minutes.
