2024 Jianchang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

I regretted not staying for an extra day to hike to the village in the mountains when I went to Zhagana. Many years later, God gave me another chance~ On a clear and crisp autumn day, I enjoyed the stunning afternoon in Daqing Mountain alone and had a conversation with my soul. I think I will remember for the rest of my life that afternoon when I walked down to the bottom of the valley alone in the cold wind. First, I accidentally sprained my right foot, and then I was moved to tears by the stunning autumn scenery rendered by the sudden sunlight~

Longtan Grand Canyon, hidden in the embrace of Laodazhangzi Township in Jianchang County, Huludao City, lightly touches the realm of Qinglong, weaving an ancient and mysterious legend. It is said that the deep pool in this secluded canyon is the abode of two benevolent dragon gods. Over the years, whenever the land dried up, the people would gather devoutly by the pool, kneeling and praying for rain. The dragon gods, seemingly able to perceive human suffering, would always respond to their pleas, and the grace of rain would arrive as promised, miraculously effective. Thus, this canyon was endowed with the awe-inspiring name of 'Longtan Grand Canyon.' Longtan Grand Canyon, with its winding length of 54.5 kilometers, delves into the secret depths of 648 meters underground, showcasing the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. Its width varies between 210 meters, and its elevation spans up to 760 meters, with the highest peak standing proudly at 860 meters above the clouds. Entering this canyon is like stepping into a flowing painting, where every corner is a visual feast. The unfathomable Longtan hides the secrets of time; Longtan Waterfall and Golden Gourd Waterfall, with their awe-inspiring roars, tell the story of nature's power and beauty; Bat Cave and Dragon Bone Cave, mysterious and intriguing, spark the imagination; Toad Peak, Divine Turtle Stone, and Celestial Dog Stone, each with unique shapes, vividly resemble nature's meticulously crafted artworks; additionally, the compassionate Maitreya Buddha, the steadfast Crouching Tiger Mountain, the affectionate Couple Peak, and the Forget-Worry Peak that makes one forget worldly troubles. Every scenic spot is a miracle bestowed by nature, waiting for every traveler to explore and discover.

❤ Jianchang Ancient City retains the past and present of Xichang. Once it gets dark, its beauty is just right~ To understand a city, you must start with its historical sites. ❤ The central axis of the ancient city is the best place to take photos, but the small alleys should not be missed, where it's easier to take good pictures~ ❤ Xichang has strong ultraviolet rays, so it's best to visit here at night.

Longtan Grand Canyon🧗 An extremely low-key 5A scenic spot Experience the beauty of nature with your eyes, and record the journey with your camera Online ticket purchase 69.9 for adults, shuttle bus in the scenic area is 30r/person for a single trip Depart from Taowan on Zhongzhou East Road, Luoyang, about 1.5 hours by car Strolling through the canyon takes about 3.5 hours on foot Taking the shuttle bus down the mountain takes about 15-20 minutes The last time I came back was five or six years ago, it seemed to be during the summer vacation, and there were quite a lot of people. This time it was also a coincidence, maybe because it was a weekday, although it was during the flower festival, but there really weren't many people~ Walking and stopping along the way to take photos The staff at the entrance all suggest taking the bus up first, then walking down the mountain to enjoy the view I have walked up the mountain several times before, and I personally think it's easier to go up than down We kept going against the flow of people, and it was okay because there weren't many people. After reaching the top, you can buy a one-way ticket to go down the mountain, where there isn't much scenery. It took about 15 minutes to get to the ticket checkpoint at the entrance~ The scenic area enjoys the reputation of 'China's Number One Valley', 'Ancient Ocean Natural Museum', 'Canyon Masterpiece', and 'Yellow River Landscape Gallery', and is a world geological park Hiking, photography, playing with water, charge! Outdoor hiking·Please take away the trash you produce! Don't litter! Don't carelessly deal with trash that isn't yours! Secondary damage! (I saw scattered empty drink bottles by the roadside, really speechless, there are so many trash cans, yet some can still throw them by the roadside, especially saw a guy, he saw an empty bottle by the canyon side, and just kicked it into the stream! Really fed up, how can one's foot be so itchy, we might not care about this bottle, but why kick it for no reason, the cleaning uncles and aunties still have to pick them up one by one, and the water flow in that part of the canyon is fast, really speechless, no words)
