Xinxiang

Land of the southern Taihang canyon cliffside roads, where Wanxian Mountain and Baligou are havens for landscape photography.

Xinxiang lies in northern Henan on the north bank of the Yellow River, with the southern Taihang Mountains in the northwest. Wanxian Mountain in Huixian is famous for the cliffside tunnel road at Guoliang Village and its red rock cliffs, and is a base for sketching and photography, while scenic areas such as Baligou, Guanshan and Baoquan are known for waterfalls and canyons; near the city are sites such as the Tomb of Prince Lujian and the Bigan Temple. Spring mountain flowers, summer waterfalls and autumn foliage each have their own appeal, but take care in the mountains during the rainy season. The Beijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway has a Xinxiang East Station, fairly close to Zhengzhou; getting into the mountains is mostly by self-drive or tourist bus.
