Henan Yuntai Mountain, nestled in Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, covers a total area of 50 square kilometers. It boasts numerous prestigious titles, including being one of the first global geoparks, a national scenic area, and one of the inaugural national 5A-level tourist attractions.

Yuntai Mountain features a rich diversity of attractions. In Tanbu Gorge, springs, waterfalls, and pools appear at almost every turn, showcasing the elegance of its landscape. In Quanbu Gorge, the Yuntai Sky Waterfall, the tallest in Asia, cascades from a height of 314 meters, creating a spectacular sight. Zhuyu Peak, famed by Wang Wei's poem, offers breathtaking views of rolling mountains, providing a sense of tranquility and awe. Additionally, attractions like Red Stone Gorge and Macaque Valley each exude their unique charm.

In recent years, Yuntai Mountain has actively pursued transformation and upgrading. By integrating its rich historical and cultural relics and stories, it has developed a "tourism + culture" model. For instance, the "Realm of Ten Thousand Flowers" themed space allows visitors to interact with staff dressed as Wang Wei and traditional Hanfu flower deities.

Leveraging Jiaozuo's intangible cultural heritage, Yuntai Mountain also offers immersive "intangible cultural heritage + study tours" experiences. For example, students can practice the craft of making Jiaotai porcelain, a national-level intangible cultural heritage, in workshops. This initiative has created employment opportunities for local villagers, and related cultural and creative products have gained popularity.

At the same time, Yuntai Mountain has introduced sports activities such as water paddleboarding, capitalizing on its geographical features to develop a "tourism + sports" model. Since 2017, the scenic area has implemented a ticketing system where a single purchase grants three-day validity for both entrance and shuttle bus tickets, encouraging tourists to shift from one-day sightseeing to multi-day, in-depth immersive experiences.

In terms of driving regional development, Jiaozuo has promoted the integration of "culture and tourism + various industries" at Yuntai Mountain, fostering diverse emerging formats and forming a comprehensive cultural tourism framework. By attracting multiple enterprises and developing a variety of agricultural, cultural, and tourism products, the area has achieved an annual output value of 360 million yuan, realizing the vision of "scenic beauty, thriving industries, and prosperous residents".

In response to the increasingly diverse needs of tourists, Henan Yuntai Mountain is embracing visitors with a fresh perspective, offering unforgettable travel experiences.
