In September, this 4A scenic spot in Henan offers free admission to all tourists nationwide
As September arrives, the weather gradually turns cooler, and friends who have been stuck at home all summer begin to itch for a trip. However, with so many scenic spots in Henan, choosing where to go leaves many people indecisive.
Today, Xiaonan recommends a national AAAA-level tourist attraction that is beautiful, fun, and recently even offers free admission. This scenic spot is the Muzhaling Scenic Area, located in Longwang Village, Checun Town, Song County, Luoyang City, Henan Province.
According to the official announcement from Muzhaling Scenic Area, to celebrate the arrival of the third "Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival" in the golden autumn of September, the scenic area will offer a free admission promotion to tourists nationwide from September 7, 2020, to September 30, 2020.
It is understood that the original ticket price for Muzhaling Scenic Area is 70 yuan per person. During the promotion period, tourists only need to purchase a 5 yuan scenic area insurance to enjoy a free tour of Muzhaling.
Located at the northern foot of the Funiu Mountain range, Muzhaling Scenic Area is the first primitive ecological tourism area in Henan Province, as well as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and a national nature reserve.
The scenic area covers a large area of 125 square kilometers, consisting of three major tour zones: Jiudangou, the Primeval Forest, and Guanmao Peak. It features over 200 attractions, including Tianhe Waterfall, Bailongzhuang, Luling Ridge, Guanmao Peak, as well as the internet-famous elevator, glass bridge, glass walkway, and glass slide.
According to scenic area information, the primitive forest in Muzhaling, which has no traces of human activity, covers 50 square kilometers, and the forest coverage rate reaches 98.5%, demonstrating the excellent preservation of the ecology.
The most beautiful scenery in Muzhaling is concentrated in the Jiudangou area. In this scenic spot, the streams are clear and serene, and the pools and waterfalls form a chain, with abundant water sources. Almost every step brings you to water, making it feel extraordinarily lively. Walking along the tree-shaded forest paths, following the mountains and water, and ascending the steps, one feels refreshed and delighted.
At the same time, thanks to the favorable geographical environment and climatic conditions, the scenery of the scenic area varies with the seasons. In summer, Muzhaling is the best health and summer resort in the Central Plains region. Due to the high forest coverage, the temperature in the mountains is relatively low, with an average daily temperature not exceeding 23°C. Tourists who are physically weak and prone to cold should bring long-sleeved clothes and long pants even when visiting in summer.
In autumn, Muzhaling is the best place to enjoy red leaves in the Central Plains region. Starting from mid-October each year, the once lush green mountains and valleys gradually transform into a colorful world. With three shades of yellow, two of green, and five of red, the forests are dyed in layers of vibrant colors, becoming the most stunning natural scenery of late autumn, beautiful enough to make one's heart drunk.
Tourists visiting the scenic area do not need to worry about food and accommodation. There are many farm stays and hotels around the scenic area to choose from. If you are interested, you might take some time to visit.
