Red Rock Gorge

The first stop in Yuntaishan is Hongshi Gorge. The reason why Hongshi Gorge is named like this is probably because the stones are red. Coming here is like coming to the world of immortals, and it feels like a hermit master will appear at any time.

The mountains in the north are indeed different from those in the south. The mountains in the south are beautiful and spiritual. The mountains in the north are strange, dangerous and majestic. Looking down at the canyon, the cliffs are bright red. At the bottom of the canyon, there is a gurgling stream that gradually converges into a small river. The plank road on the cliff

When I came to Hongshi Gorge, the most surprising thing was the rocks here. I don't know why they are so red, but there are layers of fiery red rocks everywhere, red is passionate, red is tough, like a red belt blessing Yuntai Mountain. I walked carefully along the fiery red rocks. The winding path is very narrow, and the narrowest part can only accommodate one person to walk slowly. I bravely leaned forward and found that the abyss was right under my feet. I was just afraid, but I saw that the canyon was full of rocks and the scenery was strange and beautiful.

Hongshi Gorge is the most central attraction in Yuntaishan. After visiting Yuntaishan, I feel that the Tanpu Gorge and Quanpu Gorge in Xiaozhaigou that I visited yesterday are far inferior.

It is necessary to take photos at Hongshi Gorge. I finally got a glimpse of the rare Danxia landform many years after I finished studying high school geography. I wanted to come to Yuntaishan because I was attracted by the promotional pictures of Hongshi Gorge. I was not disappointed. I have to sigh at the wonders of nature.

The whole canyon is composed of red rock cliffs, which is a rare Danxia landform in northern China. The canyon landscape is red, so it is also commonly known as Hongshi Gorge. Hongshi Gorge is also called Wenpanyu, which is known as the first scenery in the Central Plains. This scenic spot is beautiful, secluded, majestic and dangerous, with springs, waterfalls, streams and pools in one valley, and is known as a bonsai canyon.

Hongshi Gorge is located 3 kilometers north of Yulin City and only 5 kilometers away from the urban area of Yulin. Hongshi Gorge is about 350 meters long, with the east cliff about 11.5 meters high and the west cliff 13 meters high. The east and west face each other, steep and majestic. The Yuxi River in the gorge flows through the gorge and reaches the west of the city. In ancient times, literati and even military generals stationed in Yulin liked to inscribe in Hongshi Gorge to express their lofty ambitions in the frontier, so Hongshi Gorge is also a treasure house of calligraphy art on the Great Wall.

Located in Zifang, Hunan, the entire canyon is composed of red rock cliffs, which is a rare Danxia landform in northern China. The canyon landscape, the cliffs are all red, so it is also commonly known as "Red Stone Gorge". Red Stone Gorge is also called "Wenpanyu", which is known as the "No. 1 Scenery in the Central Plains". This scenic spot is beautiful, secluded, majestic and dangerous, with springs, waterfalls, streams and pools in one valley, and is known as the "Bonsai Canyon". Wenpanyu Canyon is cool and pleasant in summer and warm as spring in midwinter. There are no four seasons throughout the year, and the temperature remains at around 25 degrees Celsius.

Hongshi Gorge, walk halfway and then take the elevator up, it's beautiful, and you can see the waterfall

The most beautiful classic, the oldest rock, Bailongtan...it has both the majesty of northern mountains and the beauty of southern water towns.

Yuntaishan is a place worth visiting. It is very beautiful. It is worth coming to Yuntaishan for Hongshi Gorge.

Red rocks and clear water are indispensable! We took the sightseeing bus at 6:00 am on May 2nd. In fact, we could hear the sound of the bus at 5:30. We walked quickly all the way and finished the whole journey of Red Rock Gorge at 8:30. We were slow until we reached the bottom of the valley because we passed through a place similar to a tunnel. In fact, it was not bad until we reached the bottom of the valley.

Yuntaishan is the core scenic spot. People say Yuntaishan is the Jiuzhaigou of the north. In fact, only the Hongshixia part can compare with Jiuzhaigou a little bit, and the rest of the place is not particularly distinctive.

It's not bad. Walking in the valley, the mountain breeze is blowing. It's just right in April. The water is not hot, but you can see the bottom clearly. There are also wild fish. After entering for a while, there is a cave that reminds me of "Peach Blossom Spring". There is a small opening in the mountain, as if all the light is gone. The boat enters through the opening. It is very narrow at first, but only people can pass through it...

Yuntaishan's highlights, Danxia landform canyon landscape, must go!

It was still dark when we arrived, but there were already quite a few people there. It wasn't until we reached the bottom of the valley that it started to get light.

The exit is Zifang Lake

Use a SLR camera to isolate the crowd as much as possible from the lens. The ochre-red rock walls, the emerald-colored lake water, and the sunlight shining through the green leaves, the beauty is right before your eyes.

I went to Henan in October this year, which was not the National Day Golden Week. Looking back now, Yuntaishan is one of the most unforgettable attractions. I highly recommend it and it is worth a visit. Hongshi Gorge is particularly spectacular. Yuntaishan Scenic Area is very large. Since we only had one day, we didn't visit several attractions. We hired a tour guide for 120 yuan a day. The tour guides in Yuntaishan are really hard-working and have to follow us all the way up the mountain. The prices in the scenic area are also worthy of praise. Most of the noodles at the entrance of the scenic area at the foot of the mountain are 10-15 yuan a bowl. For a scenic area, this price is very conscientious.

Hongshi Gorge is the highlight of Yuntaishan. Entering the gorge is like entering a giant bonsai. The mountains, rivers and waterfalls are so exquisite that it is worthy of being a world-class geological park.

Yuntai lean meat porridge

Traveling through Henan, which is shrouded in smog, Yuntai Mountain is like a secret place in the Central Plains, with green mountains, clear waters, and red stone valleys. In the southwestern provinces, the color of Yuntai Mountain is not very outstanding, but in Henan, where the main color is gray, it is a bit beautiful like the Netherlands. That feeling is like you finally come across a bowl of preserved egg solo porridge after eating braised noodles for a week.

Yuntaishan is famous mainly because of the geological name card of Hongshi Gorge. Therefore, it is also a must-visit attraction for all tourists. From personal experience, no matter how early or late you go, there are always people during the National Day holiday! People! People! But as long as you wait patiently, you can always get a place and have a good time. There is only one thing, don't enter the gate of the scenic area after 5 o'clock. Maybe you can get a place, but it's dark. Although there are lights in the mountains, the beauty is greatly reduced. You can only enter one scenic area once. Hongshi Gorge is 2 kilometers, and it takes 3 hours when there are many people. After queuing for half an hour, I entered the cave. When I came out of the cave, I found a different world. All the waiting was worth it! The mountain is red, the water is green, and the waterfall is white. The image of Yuntai Mountain in my mind is like this, with blue water, soft and pure. I remembered Zhu Ziqing's text "It's as if a piece of the blue sky melted into it, so it's so fresh and moist." After many years, I feel that this metaphor is extremely appropriate and wonderful~ There is even a first aid point, which is so thoughtful! It is a 5A-level scenic spot. I give full marks for this service. I wandered around for an hour and thought it was over. I didn't expect that there would be easter eggs later. Two large waterfalls, under the sunlight, slightly rainbow, the stones by the water are covered with moss, and the moss is washed by water to reveal the red background of the stone. Under the nourishment of water, it is even more bright and colorful~ When you see the last large waterfall, you have reached the end, climb the mountain, and return. The mountain is so high, it's a bit tiring to climb. Thinking that I will reach Zifang Lake when I come up, I grit my teeth and come up in one breath~ Zifang Lake between the green mountains is very beautiful~

In 2001, I joined the outdoor team's Yuntaishan Guoliang Village route. Hongshi Gorge is the most representative attraction of Yuntaishan. The red rocks and the green spring water give people a visual enjoyment.

I got up at 5:30 and arrived at the scenic spot at 6:00. There were already crowds of people. The narrow road was blocked for several kilometers. I had to move step by step. The scenery was good, but there were too many people. It would be especially beautiful if there were fewer people.

The main attraction of Yuntaishan is a relatively deep canyon. The mountains on both sides are red, and the stream in the middle is green. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant. The only problem is that the plank road here is relatively narrow and there are many tourists. It is best to enter the canyon early.

I went there once in May and the scenery was spectacular and breathtaking!

The Hongshi Gorge stone carvings were carved by ancient border guards to express their heroic spirit. The Hongshi Gorge is not large and can be walked through in about an hour.

The rocks in Hongshi Gorge are all red, and the water in the canyon makes it look particularly unique.

Hongshi Gorge is named because the rocks are rich in iron and turn red after oxidation. It is a rare Danxia landform in the north. Hongshi Gorge is also a signature attraction of Yuntai Mountain. It takes about 2 hours to travel. Since we came early, it was not crowded with tourists. It is said that during the Golden Week, tourists are packed with people. I don’t know how we can have the mood to walk among the mountains and rivers. The four of us walked and stopped to take pictures, and we had a lot of fun.

Hongshi Gorge is the most essential part of Yuntai Mountain, with Danxia landform, red cliffs and emerald green streams. Follow the plank road, listen to the sound of water, feel the gurgling water and the waterfalls. The scenery is beautiful and worth visiting! !

Hongshi Gorge, hidden deep in the mountains, has the same red sandstone as the Guoliang Hanging Wall.

Walking along the creek and across the stream, you will feel that it is different from other plank roads that are called "the most" because of their height, danger and steepness. It gives people a feeling of clear and turbulent water, tranquility and leisure. At first, I didn't notice it.

As we slowly descended the stairs to the plank road in the scenic area, we found that it was overcrowded. We checked the calendar and it was Saturday. No wonder there were so many people. We fell into the crowd. The artificial fog might be to create some enchanting atmosphere, or maybe to cool down. The plank road was like a long dragon winding through the canyon. We couldn't cross the sea of people. We walked along the narrow and crowded plank road and came to the dark and wet cave. We came out of Hongshi Gorge and climbed a little to the dam. We didn't feel tired at all. We just felt that it was not suitable to come here in the morning because of the fog. We should come to Hongshi Gorge in the afternoon, especially between four and six o'clock. In this way, we can see the most beautiful and red Hongshi Gorge.

Hongshi Gorge is the first scenic spot when entering the scenic area and is also the core scenic spot of Yuntaishan.

As the name suggests, red stone is red. The reason is that the stones here have a high iron content, which oxidizes over time to form a dark red color.

The red rocks, clear water, green trees and blue sky are colorful.

The scenic area is located at the bottom of the canyon. You need to walk down to the bottom of the valley, walk 1.5 kilometers, and then climb up.

The ticket and transportation to Yuntaishan cost a total of 210 yuan, which allows you to visit 4 scenic spots and is valid for 3 days. There is scenic transportation available at each scenic spot and service area, which is very convenient!

Hongshi Gorge is the quintessence of Yuntaishan Scenic Area. It integrates the essence of springs, waterfalls, ponds and waterfalls, and combines all the majestic, dangerous, strange and secluded beauty in one valley. The entire valley is 1,500 meters long. At the end of the valley, there is a "line of sky" and the 60-meter-high Bailong Waterfall!

It’s so beautiful, just like in a painting. Walking on stones that are 1.2 billion years old, it feels like traveling through time.

This is because the crust movement has changed the original river on the ground into an underground river, so we can only see the dry riverbed without any stream flowing. I have to marvel at the ingenuity of nature! Walking along the road carved out of the cliff, I feel like I'm back to Guo Liang on the cliff corridor.

Being in the Hongshixia Scenic Area gives you the feeling of traveling in a painting. The small bridges, flowing water, tourists and the lingering mist in the distance are like a landscape painting!

Hongshi Gorge is a canyon landscape of Danxia landform, which combines pools, waterfalls, gorges, rocks and forests to form a natural bonsai. It is also the most famous scenic spot in Yuntaishan.

Entering from the entrance, you will go down the stairs all the way to the bottom of the valley to see the true face of Red Stone Gorge.

It's very beautiful. The route is not long and not tiring. There are few steps and pools of water. There are many staff along the way and many trash cans. There are life buoys and small boats in deep water. The safety precautions are comprehensive and detailed.

People from the north were really shocked to see such a beautiful scenery. This is a real canyon. The canyon in Arshan is nothing compared to this. Yuntaishan, a canyon wonder, is worthy of its reputation!

I deliberately missed the Dragon Boat Festival and went there in the afternoon. There was no one there, only about a dozen people in the whole canyon. It was so cool! Hahahaha!

The scenery of Hongshi Gorge is very beautiful, like the secluded valley of Ziwei and Erkang

When you first enter Red Rock Canyon, you can hear the sound of water, and the entire canyon has a loud echo.

Then we felt the gurgling water, and following the sound of the spring, we saw the first small waterfall as shown in Figure 2. The plank road down to the canyon was very narrow and could only accommodate two people at the same time. Since it was Friday, there were not so many tourists.

The scenery in Figure 3 is very beautiful, and many tourists are taking photos here. I believe there will be a lot of people during holidays. Standing on the bridge and looking down at the scenery below, Hongshi Gorge is indeed the signature dish of Yuntai Mountain. The combination of mountains and water is indeed a masterpiece of nature. The rock scenery of Hongshi Gorge is indeed very beautiful.

Hongshi Gorge is indeed the top attraction of Yuntaishan. As soon as you enter the gate, you can overlook the entire Hongshi Gorge. The earth seems to be cut in the middle, with a small river winding through it, and red rocks are exposed on both sides. The overlapping red and green is very beautiful.

After that, we went down to the canyon. The narrow and obscure path gave us a sense of light from time to time, and the deep cliffs on both sides seemed to be telling a story.

The last section is dominated by waterfalls, where various large and small waterfalls converge together, like a symphony played by large and small violins, bringing the entire plot to its climax.

Hongshi Gorge is a single-line tour, with no entrance or exit gate, so you cannot go in the opposite direction. The entire tour takes 2 hours, which is compact and interesting. If you only have half a day, then please visit Hongshi Gorge like Premier Wen did, and you can proudly say that you have been to Yuntai Mountain.

Red cliffs, Wanyan corridors, a stream of green water, thousands of postures

It seems that the Taihang Mountains left the most beautiful scenery to Henan. Photos of Yuntaishan Hongshi Gorge cannot express her beauty, danger and wonder.

It's still worth a visit, a wonder of nature 2

The scenery is beautiful. There were a lot of people when we went in the morning, and we felt suffocated by the crowds. It is recommended to go in after 5 pm, when there will probably be fewer people.

Very beautiful scenery, especially after the rain, the whole mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, the scenery is very spectacular. It is recommended to go out in the morning, which can take about two or three hours. It is very spectacular and much more interesting than the Fenghuangling Glass Plank Road. If you can't finish it in one day, you can go to Yuntai Mountain in two days. It is very convenient to stay in the shore service area. Although the ticket is a bit expensive, it is worth it. Every shot is a beautiful scenery.

Hongshi Gorge is a business card of Yuntai Mountain. It has a lot of tourists, green trees and quiet pools, red gorge stone walls, refreshing and pleasant, and amazing geological wonders. It is definitely worth a visit.

It is probably the most iconic scenic spot in Yuntaishan. The water has carved a deep gorge with springs, waterfalls and pools formed naturally. The roads, bridges and steps are so ingenious that it is very interesting. However, there are too many people and we cannot stop to take a closer look.

Hongshi Gorge is the most exciting place in Yuntaishan Scenic Area.

The scenery of Hongshi Gorge is beautiful, but it is best to avoid the peak tourist season to enjoy it better and feel the mountains and waters of Hongshi Gorge. Wandering in it, you can touch the red stones with your hands and feel the wonders of nature.

I drove 700 kilometers to Yuntai Mountain with my pets to experience winter. The Red Rock Gorge in winter is particularly quiet.

Very beautiful canyon with red rocks and waterfalls.

The main scenic spot of Yuntai Mountain is crowded with tourists. The scenery is beautiful, so you should avoid going there during holidays.

Hongshi Gorge is also called "Wenpan Valley" because the cliffs are red throughout. The entire canyon is composed of red rock cliffs and is a rare Danxia landform in northern China. It is known as the "No. 1 Scenery in the Central Plains". The scenic area is beautiful, secluded, majestic and dangerous. There are springs, waterfalls, streams and pools in one valley, and it has the reputation of "Bonsai Gorge".

Yuntaishan Hongshi Gorge is the essence of Yuntaishan scenic spots and is highly recommended

Yuntaishan Hongshixia, located in Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, was listed in the first batch of World Geoparks for its unique "northern karst landform".

The biggest highlight of Yuntaishan is that the Danxia scenery is different from other places. It is worth a visit, but it is a bit difficult to walk because of too many people.

Hongshi Gorge is the essence of the entire Yuntai Mountain. In spring, the mountain flowers are in full bloom, waterfalls are flowing, and there are red cliffs and clear water. There are scenic shuttle buses between each scenic spot. It is a very mature scenic spot and is worth a visit.

The red cliffs were a little slippery because it rained on the day we went there. If it was a sunny day, it would be quite beautiful.

The scenery is really amazing. This kind of canyon attractions are physically demanding and require good footwork. I haven't been to Jiuzhaigou, but judging from the photos and the water color, it should not be much worse than Jiuzhaigou.

Henan has two hands. One is artificial, which carved out the artistic treasures in Longmen Grottoes. The other is natural, which created the wonders of Hongshi Gorge. The beauty of Hongshi Gorge is different when you appreciate it from different angles. You have to be there in person to appreciate this beauty. How much of this beauty can be recorded in photos?

The 210 yuan ticket is worth it, you don't need to watch the rest

The scenery is beautiful and the view is pleasant, suitable for all ages!

How can it be so beautiful? There is emerald green water flowing between the red mountains and cliffs. Nature is really amazing. It just rained when I came here, so the cliffs looked even redder when they were wet. It is a 5A-level scenic spot, and the transportation, catering and other services in the scenic spot are quite complete, especially the full WiFi coverage in all places in the scenic spot, which surprised me.

On the last day of the entire Henan trip, we learned from the lesson of the huge crowds of people the day before. We got up at 5:30 this day. After checking out of the hotel and storing our luggage, we went straight to Hongshi Gorge. There were indeed fewer tourists than yesterday. But the weather was not good, and it was raining again. We took pictures with umbrellas all the way. Passing through the caves and the high and low rock walls, you can see the core of Hongshi Gorge. Rock walls, small bridges, and flowing water form a series of beautiful scenery. These scenes are geological relics naturally formed due to crustal movement 1.4 billion years ago. The red rock cliffs are rare Danxia landform canyon landscapes in northern my country. So far, we have to sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature. After watching the last waterfall, we faced the following road. I was shocked. It was a new experience in climbing mountains while holding an umbrella and grabbing the iron chain next to it. At the same time, we also have to sigh at how difficult it was for people to open mountains and split stones to build roads in the past.

Hongshi Gorge, July 9, 2005, Jiaozuo.

This should be the most representative scenic spot in Yuntaishan. The red stones and the flowing water are simply amazing!

This is really great, feel the beauty of nature's creation

One-way street, the road is relatively narrow, you can imagine how slow it is to walk when there are many people. Yuntaishan is famous for its Red Stone Gorge.

Hongshi Gorge is the core scenic spot of Yuntai Mountain and the essence of the entire Yuntai Mountain. The sinking tour method, the special Danxia landform, and the red stone cliffs give people a sense of surprise. It is suitable for both the elderly and children. The physical exertion is quite good.

Take the scenic bus at Yunling Service Station, which is the closest to Hongshi Gorge. Most tourists will visit here first. You will never be disappointed if you come here for the first time. It is also the most unmissable scenic spot in Yuntaishan.
