It was a lot of fun, but it was too hot the day I went, so I only got to the waterfall and only experienced half of it! There were too few staff members, and I couldn't find anyone to ask for directions; I had to ask the business owners inside. Parking is allowed in front of the entrance, and the traffic police don't stop you, which is great.

Overall, it was good. I came here recently because there was a time-travel event in Shaanxi. Shanxi's tourism industry is quite well-developed, and it truly has a rich history and profound cultural heritage.

Hidden deep in the Taihang Mountains, this ancient village boasts a thousand-year-old pristine environment. Its cave dwellings are nestled against the mountainside, creating a charming atmosphere. With few people and a tranquil atmosphere free from commercialization, it's an ideal off-the-beaten-path destination for a short, relaxing getaway.

I have seen many sections of the Great Wall in Beijing, and Guguan is very unique. It is majestic and full of vicissitudes. The deep ruts on the ground quietly tell us its history. My son had a lot of fun. He climbed up the wooden ladder and climbed up the Fengshang Beacon Tower to overlook the surroundings, with temples nearby and mountains in the distance.
