Yuntai Mountain: The Henan’s AAAAA scenic area, whatever that it means (Photo Essays)
In this article you’ll find a review of the most popular natural reserve of Henan province, the Yuntai mountain. You’ll also find a lot of pics and all the info you need to know for visiting this place. Enjoy!
Yuntai Mountain
The Yuntai mountain (云台山) is located in the Xiuwu county (修武) that belongs to the Jiaozuo’s (焦作) metropolitan area. This mountain is a natural reserve of 240 square kilometers that ranks as a AAAAA scenic area, the highest rank awarded by the China National Tourism Administration.
For this reason, the mountain attracts a huge amount of tourists every year. Even if the natural environment has been a bit “disturbed” by the Chinese concept of preservation, the park is still worth a visit if you’re traveling around Henan province.
How to get there
The easiest way to get there is by taxi from the city of Jiaozuo (the ride should cost around 70-80 Yuan). Notice that it’s quite common to share the taxi to go back to the city center.
If you are coming from Zhengzhou, go to the Railway Station and take the train that reaches Jiaozuo (Operating Hours: 06:00-18: 00, every 10-30 minutes, tickets: 15 Yuan). You can also take the train from Luoyang but they aren’t frequent.
There’re also daily buses from Luoyang, Zhengzhou and Jiaozuo:
Jiaozuo: From the Jiaozuo Tourism Bus Terminal (焦作旅游客运总站) there’re regular buses every hour (it may vary according to the season) from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The trip takes 50 minutes and the ticket costs 10 Yuan. Also, there’re four daily buses from the train station; they depart at 06:20 a.m., 07:20 a.m., 3:20 p.m. and 3:50 p.m.
Luoyang: From the Luoyang Main Bus Station (洛阳市锦远汽车站) there is a daily bus that departs at 9:20 a.m. and go back at 3:00 p.m. The tickets cost 45 Yuan.
Zhengzhou: From the New North Bus Station of Zhengzhou (郑州长途汽车新北站) there’re buses that depart every hour (starting from 8 a.m.). This new line was supposed to be open by march 2014, but I’m not 100% sure as the information available is still quite confusing.
Notice that there are several day tours, mostly coming from Luoyan. So, if you’re staying in Luoyang and you don’t want any complications, probably your hotel or hostel can help you to book a day tour to visit Yuntai Moutain.
Entrance tickets
From March to December: 150 Yuan (excluding transportation).
From December to March: 60 Yuan (excluding transportation).
Transportation: 60 Yuan.
If you are thinking to avoid the 60 Yuan for the transportation, you should arrive there at 4 a.m. As it happens for Jiuzhaigou, the distances on the Yuntai Mountain are huge and taking a bus from time to time is absolutely necessary.
If you also want to visit Qinglong (青龙峡) and the Peaks Gap (峰林峡) you can buy the tickets all together (add 30 Yuan for each site). I didn’t visit those places so I can’t assure the are worth the time.
