As the Qingming holiday approaches, Henan’s spring mountains and wilderness have already changed into their most dazzling attire.
This spring, let’s head into the mountains together!

In spring, Mount Song sheds the solemn stillness of winter. Mountain peach blossoms and wild apricot flowers bloom among the rugged cliffs, while Songyang Academy rests quietly amid fresh greenery, blending ancient elegance with the spirit of spring.
The deep green pines begin to sprout fresh leaves, and golden forsythia flowers spread across the mountainsides. Blossoms bloom freely among the layered peaks.
Step by step up the mountain paths, clouds drift across the summits. From the mountaintop, visitors can overlook vast landscapes and experience the Zen-inspired tranquility of mountain scenery, fully embracing the beauty of spring.
Anyang: Linzhou Taihang Grand Canyon
Spring arrives early in the Taihang Mountains, filling the canyon with blossoms.
In spring, the Taihang Grand Canyon becomes a gentle poetic landscape of northern China.
Streams flow through Peach Blossom Valley, while peach and apricot flowers bloom across the mountains. Together with the red cliffs and emerald spring waters, they create a breathtaking “spring landscape painting.”
Clouds and mist surround the Taihang Sky Road. Hiking through the mountains, visitors can hear flowing springs and birds singing while admiring flowers blooming along the cliffs.
Within the majestic canyon, travelers encounter some of Central China’s most spectacular spring scenery.
Xinxiang: South Taihang Tourism Resort

Jiaozuo: Yuntai Mountain

In April, magnolia flowers bloom beside the cable car routes like white snow. Visitors can cycle along the Baiyun Sky Road while enjoying activities such as Via Ferrata climbing and giant swing attractions.
At sunrise, glowing clouds spread across the mountains as flowers and seas of clouds merge into scenery resembling a fairyland.
Walking along the Baiyun Sky Road offers a peaceful and romantic mountain escape.

Spring arrives at the immortal mountain as golden peaks shine among blossoms.
Laojun Mountain in spring feels naturally magical, often surrounded by seas of clouds.
Below the golden summit, magnolia and azalea flowers bloom across the mountains, appearing and disappearing within the clouds like a heavenly palace above the sky.
After rainfall, visitors are more likely to encounter cloud seas and sunrise views, where every step feels like poetry.

Historic international-style buildings from over a century ago are hidden among blooming flowers and green trees. Walking along forest paths, visitors hear birds singing and watch clouds drifting through the mountains.
From mountain viewpoints, seas of clouds, sunrises, and glowing sunsets unfold one after another.
Strolling through quiet mountain forests brings a peaceful and healing spring experience.
Nanyang: Laojieling
One mountain ridge divides northern and southern China, while spring colors fill the Funiu Mountains.
As the climatic boundary between northern and southern China, Laojieling offers uniquely diverse spring scenery.
Cornelian cherry flowers blanket the mountains with pale yellow blossoms, followed by blooming redbuds and azaleas that complement the strange peaks, rock formations, and seas of clouds.
As spring winds pass through the mountains, visitors can admire both northern and southern landscapes while immersing themselves in the endless beauty of the Funiu Mountains.
Jiaozuo: Shennong Mountain
Walking along the dragon ridge in spring, peach blossoms fill the mountains with fragrance.
