黛眉山
Red rock terraces and gorges on the south bank of the Yellow River in Xin'an County, part of the Wangwushan–Daimeishan World Geopark and adjacent to the Longtan Grand Canyon.
Daimei Mountain lies in the north of Xin'an County, on the south bank of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir, and is part of the Wangwushan–Daimei Mountain World Geopark. It is known for its terraces, cliffs and the 'Sliver of Sky' gorge formed by red quartz sandstone. From the summit you can look out over the reservoir's 'Ten Thousand Mountain Lake' scenery on the Yellow River. The scenic area has a cable car and walkways, and in autumn the mountains are covered in red foliage. Nearby, the Longtan Grand Canyon is famous for its red-rock gorges, waterfalls and 'natural stone ladle' landforms, and the two can be visited on the same day or on consecutive days. Admission is about RMB 80 (cable car extra). It is about 80 km from downtown Luoyang, and a one-day round trip by car is recommended.
