Some people love the canyon in spring, when peach blossoms bring soft color and new life.

Some prefer summer, when the Taihang Sky Road rises through deep green shade.

Others enjoy autumn, when Wangxiang Rock is wrapped in warm golden tones.

But some visitors love the canyon most in winter.

The First Days of Winter

Quiet, Pure, and Beautiful

Early winter shows the canyon in its most natural form.

The trees have dropped their leaves, frost covers the dry grass, and ancient cypress and pine trees stand strong along the red cliffs.

Here and there, a bit of green appears, small touches that brighten the quiet landscape.

The path winds upward like a silver ribbon around the peaks.

In the streams and gullies, the first ice begins to form, creating beautiful winter shapes carved by nature.

A clean, crisp winter scene slowly opens before you.

A Different Kind of Peace

In winter, the canyon is calm and spacious.
Without the busy crowds, it feels deeper, quieter, and more elegant.

Climbing Wangxiang Rock in this season always brings a special feeling a mix of grand views and the timeless power of the land.

When sunlight reflects off Taihang Lake, turning the water into shining gold, you feel the peaceful beauty of mountains and sky all around you.

True, Simple Nature

The winter canyon is honest and pure.
It sets aside the noise of the past seasons and shows its true, untouched form, simple, natural, and free of decoration.
