Conquer the Majestic Jigungshan Mountain and Climb BaoXiao Peak

🌈Attraction Highlights: Jigungshan Mountain is a "natural oxygen bar"🌳 with lush vegetation and high forest coverage. The diverse architectural styles of its villas truly live up to its reputation as a "World Architectural Museum." Strolling through the area feels like traveling through time and experiencing different cultures. The unique peaks and rocks, especially the rooster-shaped BaoXiao Peak, offer a spectacular view. The mountain is often shrouded in mist, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere. Whether you're hiking, escaping the summer heat, or exploring historical buildings, Jigungshan will captivate you. 📍Address: No. 1 Jigungshan Street, Shihe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province 🕐️Opening Hours: Open all day, year-round 🎫Tickets: General admission tickets start from CNY 59, tickets + shuttle bus start from CNY 69.9. Check and book on Trip.com. 📝Best Time to Visit: Summer (June–August) is ideal for escaping the heat, with an average temperature of approx. 23°C. Spring and autumn (March–May, September–November) offer comfortable weather and colorful scenery, perfect for hiking and photography. Winter (December–February) transforms Jigungshan into a winter wonderland with snow-capped peaks❄️. 🚘Transportation: 1. By car: Navigate to Jigungshan Scenic Area. It's easily accessible from surrounding cities like Wuhan and Zhengzhou via expressways. Ample parking is available at reasonable rates🅿️. 2. Public transportation: Take the tourist shuttle bus from Xinyang Railway Station directly to the scenic area (approx. 1 hr). Enjoy the scenic views along the way. Affordable bus options are also available to the foot of the mountain, where you can transfer to the scenic area's shuttle bus. 📅Tour Guide: ☑️Must-see attractions: 1. BaoXiao Peak: The iconic peak of Jigungshan. The summit offers breathtaking panoramic views, perfect for stunning photos📷. 2. Meiling Ballroom: A retro and elegant building steeped in history, offering a glimpse into the past. ☑️Suggested itinerary: Take the shuttle bus from the main gate to the mountainside in the morning and start your hike. Pass through Changsheng Valley, enjoying the serene scenery, and arrive at BaoXiao Peak for sightseeing and photos. Have lunch at a mountaintop restaurant. In the afternoon, visit the World Architectural Museum. Enjoy the sunset from Guanji Terrace in the evening. ☑️Activities: 1. Zipline: Soar between the mountains at high speed for an adrenaline rush and stunning views😎. 2. Mountain off-roading: Drive an off-road vehicle through the rugged mountain roads, embrace the thrill, challenge yourself, and get closer to nature. 🍱Food Recommendations: 1. Xinyang stew: Try the Gushi goose stew, featuring tender meat and rich broth, perfect for a warm and satisfying meal😋. 2. Liangfen noodles: A refreshing summer dish made with smooth, jelly-like noodles served with sweet syrup, vinegar, and other seasonings. 3. Tea eggs: Boiled with Xinyang Maojian tea, these eggs offer a unique tea-infused flavor and are packed with nutrients. 4. Diguo Mo: Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this flatbread is best enjoyed with local sauces. 💗Tips: 1. Accommodation: Mountaintop resorts offer stunning views and convenient access to sunrise and sunset viewpoints, but come at a higher price. Guesthouses at the foot of the mountain are more budget-friendly (CNY 100–500/night) and offer a taste of local life🛏. 2. Bring warm clothes: Even in summer, mornings and evenings can be chilly on the mountain. Pack a light jacket. 3. Wear comfortable athletic shoes: The hike can be long, so proper footwear is essential for a comfortable experience. 4. Pack an umbrella: Mountain weather can be unpredictable. Be prepared for sudden rain.
