2025 Huixian Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

A few months ago, my friend and I explored the Guoliang Tunnel in The Wanxian Mountains, also known as one of China's most dangerous roads. One of the reasons it holds this title is because of the way it was built. The 2 km tunnel was hand- carved by local mountain villagers, many of whom lost their lives working on this "sky ladder". After 5 years of construction and 4000 hammers, this road now links the Guoliang village to the outside world. Today, it can be dangerous to drive through the narrow and steep tunnel to the mountain, but after seeing the breathtaking caves, it is absolutely worth it! 🗻 Come mentality and physically prepared!! 🙏 📍Guoliang Tunnel, Henan, China #passionpassport #hiking #mountainview #nationalpark #china

Visited Bali Valley many years ago, and what impressed me most was the flat paths, low steps, and waterside views all the way, making it a relaxing trip 🧊 This summer, I chose a laid-back water-themed family trip to Bali Valley with my kids [Cute] ⛰️ Must-visit reasons: Central China's "Little Jiuzhai"! Waterfalls + canyons + crystal springs—a triple delight! 🌊 Perfect summer escape 🌈 📍 Address: Shangbali Town, Huixian City, Xinxiang 🚗 Travel tip: Recommended to drive from Zhengzhou! 1.5h straight to the scenic area [Car][CarFront] 1️⃣ Arrive in the evening 🏘 and check into a homestay inside the scenic area. Before sunset, head to nearby shallow waters for some fun. Return before dark—just a few minutes' walk back to the homestay—and enjoy farmhouse meals or BBQ. Did some research beforehand and chose Riverside Retreat. Very satisfying stay—affordable on weekdays, super spacious rooms, with stunning mountain and river views from the balcony. The place was clean and tidy, the hostess was warm and attentive, and the food (especially BBQ) was delicious. 🍜🍚🍢🍺 2️⃣ Tianhe Grand Waterfall Got up early the next day for a simple breakfast: freshly made scallion pancakes, corn porridge, and stir-fried veggies. Took the waterside route, playing and sightseeing along the way to the final stop 🏁—Central China's No. 1 Waterfall, Tianhe Waterfall. Luckily, it rained, making it cooler than sunny weather. The mountain rain 🌧 came and went lightly, adding charm without disrupting the trip. Along the way, we admired emerald mountains, serene waters, and swimming fish, taking our time until we reached the waterfall. Walking through the water curtain cave beneath the falls was refreshingly cool. For the return trip, we took the scenic shuttle (¥10/person) down the mountain—super convenient, just 10 minutes. 💦🏞 Prices in the scenic area are reasonable, but you can also bring light snacks.

Who can relate? Previous water outings with kids felt like "weighted marches"—carrying floaties, chasing them to drink water, begging them to wear sunscreen... Until we discovered Baoquan in Xinxiang—where "mom-friendly" is literally in its DNA! Moms lounge in floating tents playing mahjong while kids splash nearby; moms pose in misty forests while kids go wild catching fish in shallow waters... After a two-day test run, both my kid and I had an absolute blast! 🚗 Just 1 hour from Zhengzhou! Smooth travel deserves applause Drive directly to "Baoquan Scenic Area"—exit the highway and you're there, with a huge free parking lot🅿️! Or take the high-speed train to Xinxiang East Station, then a 30-minute taxi ride. Even my kid exclaimed, "This is faster than going to the mall!" 🌿 The ultimate mom-friendly route: Moms relax while kids play nonstop! Sky Pavilion Square → Enchanted Forest → Dragon Bay → Dopamine Splash Square → Fish Scale Dam → Dragon Waterfall → S-Dam Shallows → Mini Shallows → Peach Blossom Fishing Spot → Baoquan Valley Music Festival ① Sky Pavilion Square: Moms' "floating mahjong party" begins! Set up a mahjong table under a sunshade with cool water lapping at your ankles🌊. Kids go wild with water guns and new friends, occasionally shouting, "Mom, watch me win!" Nearby, watermelon-eating contests and dance performances keep everyone entertained—this is summer done right! ② Enchanted Forest: Step into a National Geographic-worthy fairyland! Mist systems spray cooling fog, turning 30°C heat into a breezy 20°C🍃. Bamboo forests, streams, and suspension bridges make every photo look magical. The nearby Huangyan Root Inn offers delicious bamboo-tube rice (my kid licked the bowl clean) and a quick nap spot. ③ Dragon Bay: Moms dance, kids brave the glass walkway! A National Geographic photo op! Standing on the high-altitude glass walkway above a canyon, my kid clung to my hand but insisted, "I'm not scared!"😂 At night, it transforms into a dance floor with lights and music—moms get to groove too (my kid: "Who knew Mom could move like that?"). ④ Dopamine Splash Square: Kids meet Ultraman! Hundreds join the water fight frenzy💦. Clowns twist balloons, while Ultraman and sea lion shows make kids scream with joy. I snapped photos as my drenched kid yelled, "Again, again!" (Psst: We teamed up to win a water gun battle—total mom-win!) ⑤ S-Dam Shallows: A "water Disneyland" for kids! Water slides, swings... my kid went wild, splashing down slides and soaking me on purpose💦. Meanwhile, I lounged under a hat, scrolling my phone—this is how "kid outings" should be! ⑥ Peach Blossom Fishing Spot: Kids achieve "fishing freedom"! With a bucket and breadcrumbs, fish practically jump in! My kid caught five and didn’t want to leave🐟 (Pro tip: Sit still—fish think you’re a rock!). ⑦ Baoquan Valley Music Festival: Bonfire party till late! Live bands, dance crews, fire shows... Kids danced until their hair dripped🔥. Lying on the grass stargazing, my kid said, "Mom, this is 100x better than home!" 📍 Must-pack gear (skip one and regret it!): • Crocs: Walk comfortably in water (barefoot on rocks hurts!). • Water gun + waterproof phone case: Save money and your phone (water fights get wild!). • Sunscreen trio: UV shirt, hat, and high-SPF lotion (mist won’t block all rays!). • Extra clothes + mini fan: Dry off fast and stay cool (even while mahjong-ing!). 🌟 Final thoughts: Baoquan perfectly blends "mom relaxation zones" and "kid energy burners!" I went from exhausted to Instagram-ready, while my shy kid turned into a social butterfly. We’ve already booked our third trip—because who can resist "moms play, kids go wild" summer magic?🌞 (P.S.: While fishing, my kid dropped a catch into my bucket, saying, "This is your mahjong prize!" Nearby families laughed so hard they splashed us—even the surprises here are adorable!)

Address｜Located in Songshiping Village, Bali Town, Huixian City, Xinxiang, Henan Province, nestled deep in the misty Taihang Mountains within the Bali Valley Scenic Area Mountain Lodge. It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Zhengzhou. First, the perks 🥂 The lodge features a mountain-view restaurant, café, outdoor pool, and campsite—perfect for tiring out the kids. At the outdoor campsite, you might even spot grazing cattle, and there’s a sky staircase and swings for great photo ops. Surrounded by mountains, the lodge is ideal for creek trekking when there’s ample rainfall—little ones would love it. During our visit, the creek was dry, but walking on the rocky riverbed was still fun. The service is excellent too, with every staff member smiling and eager to help with guests' needs. Downside: The lodge isn’t cheap, and you’ll also need to pay a per-person parking fee (¥40 each) to enter the scenic area. For our car with two people, that meant ¥80—a bit of a rip-off. 🚴 We brought our kid’s balance bike, and with all the slopes at the lodge, they had a blast riding around. For moms, it’s the perfect escape to the mountains—not too hot, not too cold—just fresh air, no work stress, and plenty of photo opportunities. Pure bliss.

🚗A spontaneous getaway—played it entirely by ear 🌟Stumbled upon this secluded mountain paradise, far from city noise, where the soul finds momentary peace Located in Baligou, Xinxiang, Henan 🌟For visitors from Shandong Province: Ticket price is 60 RMB, plus 40 RMB for transportation, valid for 3 days (free for children under 1.4m) Many homestays are available in the mountains Options for every budget—choose based on your needs ✅Dining Most homestays offer meals, making dining very convenient The chef at my homestay was exceptionally skilled If staying in the mountains and arriving by car, contact your hotel in advance—vehicles can drive inside All expenses in the scenic area are reasonably priced, with no overcharging ✅Travel Tips I only explored the Baligou route, which is relatively flat My homestay was close to the scenic shuttle's starting point Took the shuttle directly to the last stop to see the waterfall, then worked my way back (Bring an extra set of clothes if you plan to take photos by the waterfall—you'll get wet) Walked and played along the way, getting tired around the macaque area (didn’t finish the whole route) Took the shuttle back to the starting point—the entire trip took about 4-5 hours [Scenic shuttle: 10 RMB/person/ride, free for children under 1.4m] Another route is available for those with more time who enjoy thrills ✅Highlight Whether due to its niche appeal or lack of fame, the area isn’t crowded, making the experience truly exceptional No need to dodge crowds or queue for photos—every shot is effortlessly beautiful Personally, I dislike crowded spots—chaos ruins the mood This trip was a joy, so go while it’s still quiet! Highly recommend this hidden gem~

✅When visiting Baligou, you must explore the Water Curtain Cave! This is the soul of Baligou and the essence of the area. Baligou will absolutely amaze everyone—feel the cool mountain breeze. Although the Tianhe Waterfall might be unexpectedly small, the Water Curtain Cave will make you want to call all your friends immediately to come and see it for themselves! ✅If your stamina is limited, besides taking the scenic shuttle bus, be sure to ride the electric cart inside the scenic area. It costs 10 yuan per ride, and you can get off at the last stop, the Tianhe Waterfall Station. After visiting the Water Curtain Cave, you can hike downhill until you’re tired, then hop on an electric cart to descend—each ride costs 10 yuan regardless of distance. ✅Today, our entire trip to Baligou took 7.5 hours. We arrived at the scenic area entrance at 10 AM and left at 5:30 PM. We took the scenic shuttle bus and hiked the entire way inside the area, following the stream toward Tianhe Waterfall. After exiting the Water Curtain Cave, we took the electric cart directly downhill. ✅Baligou doesn’t have many steep steps—most paths are wooden boardwalks shaded by trees, so it’s not too hot. About two-thirds of the way up, at Yangzhoudi Station, two of us were too exhausted to continue and took the electric cart down, missing the Water Curtain Cave. So, I recommend taking the electric cart straight to Tianhe Waterfall, then hiking part of the way down based on your energy level—don’t miss Tianhe Waterfall and the Water Curtain Cave!

Before July 15, 2025, Baquan Scenic Area offers free admission for tourists from Shandong. I had wanted to visit Baquan for a long time, so I took this opportunity to leave right after work on Friday. 1. Recommended Family Route: Arrive Friday night, visit Baquan Yatianxia on Saturday, explore Baquan Grand Canyon on Sunday, and return Sunday afternoon with a stop at Pangdonglai. This schedule allows plenty of time, is very relaxed, and gives children ample rest and playtime. 2. Ticket Information: Before July 15, Shandong residents get free admission to Yatianxia and the two-park area, only paying transportation fees. Make sure to purchase tickets through the Shandong-exclusive links on major platforms. Tickets for the Grand Canyon alone are not free. The two-park ticket is valid for two days, allowing one entry each to Yatianxia and the Grand Canyon within that period. 3. Accommodation and Dining: Accommodations outside the scenic area are mainly concentrated in Anshang Village, Shaqiang Village, and Gezhen Village; see page 1 for details. This time we stayed at Nashan Nashui Hotel (Zhengyun Expressway Entrance branch) in Shaqiang Village, with slide rooms at 145 yuan. The hotel’s facilities, service, and cleanliness were very satisfactory. If your budget allows, I highly recommend staying at Huangyangen Homestay in Yatianxia, which lets you enjoy the park before the crowds arrive. For dining, the Anshang service area outside the scenic spot has large restaurants and many chain stores. Other villages with many homestays also have numerous private restaurants. Nearby towns such as Yuntai Mountain Town, Qixian Town, and Bobo Town also offer some dining options. Local specialties include Henan Hui noodles, spicy soup, Wuzhi clay pot dishes, and sweet and sour spicy hot pot. Inside Baquan Scenic Area, dining is also convenient. In Yatianxia, main options are Taihang Restaurant near the cliff roller coaster and the third floor of Huangyangen Homestay near the cliff swing. In the Grand Canyon, food streets near Qianqiantan and Taohuaping are popular. There are also many kiosks selling snacks like grilled sausages and corn. 4. Tips for Visiting the Scenic Area: Yatianxia: More suitable for young people. If you want to try the cliff roller coaster, swing, via ferrata, or bungee jumping, arrive early to queue. You can take the sightseeing bus to complete these activities before enjoying the scenery. Arriving late on a normal weekend can mean long lines that test your patience. For children, besides the scenery, there are many play areas nearby, including squirrel feeding not far from the cable car and the tulip garden with various slides, climbing structures, and pools. Grand Canyon: More suitable for family water play. Recommended itinerary: Qianqiantan (with a pavilion with straw hats and paddleboards) → Yulin Dam (water quality here is average) → Inflatable water castle (similar to "Happy Forward Rush") → Taohuaping (fish touching and shrimp catching, shallow water play, pedal boats) → Baoquan Boat (children’s water fort, water shows, water suspension bridge). Most water play areas offer free storage, but spaces are limited. Also, bring bath towels and a change of clothes as clothes get wet easily.

Wear comfy shoes! Lots of walking and stairs. 2. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Strong UV at the summit—hats, sunglasses🕶️ (great for photos), and sunscreen are a must. 3. Bring water & snacks: Supplies are available but pricier on the mountain. 4. Travel light: A backpack is most practical. 5. Activity choices: Cloud Cliff Walk, Cliff Swing, etc., cost extra—pick based on preference. 6. Check the weather: Best views on sunny days; rain brings fog and closures. We went on a cloudy day—see photo effects👆. 7. Avoid crowds: Weekends/holidays are packed! Weekdays are ideal. Arrive between 7:00-7:40 AM to skip lines! 8. Carry cash: Some stalls may have poor signal. 📌 Verdict: Baoquan Cliff World = Cliff visual feast + adrenaline rush + Instagram-worthy shots! One day covers the highlights—slather on sunscreen, dress cute, bring courage, and go for it👊
