Mighty mountain ranges, deep gorges, hidden valleys, countless springs, waterfalls and lakes – all this is Yuntai Mountain. Situated in the northern part of Henan Province right near Jiao Zuo, the spectacular scenery of this area draws people from near and far. Corel Peak, the highest point, rises about 1308 m above sea level, but it’s not only those who like to climb mountains who get their money’s worth. Since Yuntai Mountain was turned into a national park, the area has been greatly developed and is now conducive to lots of outdoor activities. The park offers countless opportunities for tourists, and visitors who like to spend more than one day exploring the scenery can stay in one of the various accommodations on site.
Those planning on visiting Yuntai Mountain, should know about the two downsides involved, though:
- On the weekends and during the main season, the park is really crowded, requiring visitors to spend long hours waiting in line in some areas;
- Admission fees tend to be on the higher end of the scale (at least in comparison to other tourist attractions in China, the regular fee being ¥120 per person).
