2021.04.15~The first day in Taihang Mountain: Baligou
I have longed for Taihang for a long time. For geography, it is the dividing line between China's second and third ladders; for history, the familiar Central Plains, Warring States, Seven Heroes, etc. can all be found.
I am so happy that I finally made it.
First take the train to Xinxiang and pick up the car, which is a hybrid Roewe. I am an old customer of eHi. All procedures are familiar and simplified and can be completed in a few minutes. This is my first time driving a gasoline-electric hybrid car. The steering wheel has good power assist and the Roewe is also high-end, which suits me. It seems that there is a constant sound of electricity in the car, and the power is obviously insufficient when accelerating. I don't know whether it saves fuel or not, because I ran about 50 kilometers in one car. I don't know if it is because of this car or whether it is the case with gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles.
Departing from Xinxiang East Station at 1:30 in the afternoon, we arrived at Baligou Visitor Center at 2:50. Baligou is a 5A scenic spot. Due to time reasons, there are three lines. I only chose Xiabali, and the ticket price is 62 RMB 40 for a round trip on a battery car to the scenic area.
The natural scenery of Baligou is beautiful. Picture attached later.
What shocked me the most was not the beauty of the scenery, but the Nantaihang Mountains in Henan (the northern part of the Central Plains). The mountains in the south were actually as tall and graceful as the mountains in the south, not as majestic as the mountains in the north.
