Cost: 139 RMB/person (includes Earth Pit Courtyard + cruise + transportation + insurance) Exclusive for seniors and children under 1.4 meters: 99 RMB/person (Such a great deal! Sign up your parents quickly!) 🏮 First Stop: Shanzhou Earth Pit Courtyard — "See trees but not the village, enter the village but not see the houses" 🏮 This is the world’s unique "underground ancient village," known as the "Northern China Underground Siheyuan," truly amazing! 🚶‍♀️【Best visiting order & highlights】: Core courtyard group (visit in recommended order): ① Folk Culture Courtyard: Visit first! It showcases Shanzhou’s unique wedding customs, weaving, farming culture, with old artifacts and scene recreations to help you quickly understand the background story of the Earth Pit Courtyard. ② Construction Craftsmanship Courtyard: (A must-see!) This courtyard details how the Earth Pit Courtyard was dug! From site selection, design to construction, you’ll admire the wisdom of the ancients. It’s a key spot for photos and understanding core culture. ③ Opera/Paper-cutting Courtyard: Shanzhou’s paper-cutting and shadow puppetry are very famous. If lucky, you might catch a live performance by intangible cultural heritage inheritors, experiencing rich local flavor. ④ Special Theme Courtyards: Such as tea courtyard, wine courtyard, etc. Take a stroll and feel the elegance of ancient underground life. ⑤ "Tunnel" Experience: Some courtyards are connected by underground passages. Be sure to walk through them! Experience the fun of "underground walking," kids will love it. 🦢 Second Stop: Swan Cruise — A poetic journey on the Yellow River In the afternoon, we will take the "Swan" cruise to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River. ⛴️【Cruise itinerary & must-see】: Boarding and seating: Rush to the second or third deck right after boarding! The view is unbeatable! If it’s windy, you can choose the indoor observation cabin at the stern, which also has large glass windows. Early sailing: When the ship just leaves the dock, you can shoot the pier and city skyline, feeling the transition from land to water. Mid sailing (core viewing): Yellow River water color: Observe up close the muddy and majestic "Mother River" Yellow River, feeling the poetic image of "Yellow River water coming from the sky." Autumn colors on both banks: By late October, the trees on the banks are colorful, with yellow, red, and green interwoven, forming a beautiful oil painting with the yellow river water. Skyline: Look out to the distant mountains and sky, your mood will become incredibly open. "Swan" elements: Pay attention to the wetlands and mudflats on the shore. Although real swans haven’t arrived yet, you can look for related sculptures or signs to get a feel of the "Swan City" atmosphere in advance. Hope this guide helps you! Wishing you and your group a great time on October 25, and lots of beautiful photos! If you find it useful, remember to like and save it~ 💕 A treasure travel destination worth visiting again and again
