As a national 5A-level scenic spot, it is definitely worth visiting for all friends, after all, this scenic spot has a long history and many attractions worth exploring. So if you have one day to visit Yanmen Pass, how should you go about it? Today, I’m going to share a travel guide with you, so let’s take a look!
1. Travel Guide
Yanmen Pass is located 20 kilometers north of Daixian County. If you friends want to visit Daixian County, follow my footsteps. Friends who take the expressway, can get off at the Daixian station, the expressway exit is about 17 kilometers away from the south entrance of Yanmen Pass, there are signs all the way.
The entrance fee for the scenic spot is 90 yuan per person, and it’s half price for those over 60 years old. Slowly climb up the stone steps, it takes about 1 hour to reach the top of the mountain. There are many relics of war in the scenic spot, which can be visited well.
It’s best to control the time within 3 hours, and go back to the county town for lunch. Daixian Drum Tower stands in the center of the county town. There are also many delicious foods next to the Drum Tower. If you like spicy food, there’s a Chongqing-style restaurant next to the Drum Tower. There’s also Fisherman’s Wharf, Chongqing hotpot restaurant, Daixian local snacks, etc. They are all nearby. So while eating, take a look at the Daixian Drum Tower, the Yang Family General in the Song Dynasty was stationed at the Drum Tower, worth a look. If you want to buy Daixian specialties, there is a Dingcheng Specialty Store next to the Drum Tower, which includes all Daixian specialties, Daixian yellow wine, millet, apricot dry, etc.
Due to time constraints, it’s impossible to see all the attractions in one day. Therefore, I suggest visiting the “Zhao Gao Guan” in the afternoon. The “Zhao Gao Guan” is a national forest park, with beautiful scenery, being in it is like entering a fairyland,
The “Zhao Gao Guan” is located at the foot of Tiantai Mountain in Hongsi Village, Jiaokou Township, Daixian County, Shanxi Province, about 23 kilometers away from Daixian County. The temple is built in the valley of Tiantai Mountain, making use of natural caves, built on the cliffs.
The entrance fee for the “Zhao Gao Guan” is 45 yuan per person, and it’s half price for those over 60 years old and students. After lunch, it takes about 40 minutes to drive to the mountain gate, parking fee is 10 yuan.
Because you’ve been climbing mountains all the time, it’s a good idea to prepare some mineral water, it’s very expensive at the top of the mountain. All the way are stone steps and wooden steps, lush trees, a small stream flows down the ditch. There are pecan trees on both sides of the steps, peach blossoms bloom in March, covering the whole mountain with white flowers, very beautiful.
There are Guanyin Cave, Tiantai Temple, and other attractions on top, mainly to experience the mountain scenery and the tranquility of the temple. Entering the mountains, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of you, instantly makes you forget the troubles of life.
The “Zhao Gao Guan” is surrounded by mountains, don’t run around, in case you get lost. It takes about 3 hours to see the whole journey, pay attention to the time.
Due to time constraints, I suggest that you visit at most these 3 representative attractions within one day. If you have time, you can stay one more day, then you will have plenty of time.
