Overview
Eight days across two provinces most group tours skip. Longmen Grottoes by buggy, Hukou Waterfall where the Yellow River roars, a ten-thousand-year ice cave at Yunqiu Mountain, and a night walk through Pingyao Ancient City. One night in a 5-star Novotel, one in a Hilton, high-speed rail between Pingyao and Jiaozuo.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Stand at Hukou Waterfall where the Yellow River roars through a 50-meter gorge, the mist soaking your face before you can pull out a phone.
- Sleep inside Pingyao Ancient City's Ming-era walls, walk the stone streets after dark when the tour buses leave and the red lanterns come on.
- Cable car into the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave at Yunqiu Mountain, stalactites frozen mid-drip in a cavern that stays subzero year-round.
- Bullet train from Pingyao to Jiaozuo with no luggage on your lap — bags shipped ahead while you watch Shanxi's yellow earth blur past at 300 km/h.
- Walk through 1,300 Buddhist carvings at Longmen Grottoes, the cliff faces chiseled over 400 years, then realize half the group is still at the entrance taking photos of the first cave.
