Waterfall
Yuntai Cascade
A high seasonal fall falls down from the Taihang plateaus. Season, wind and water levels greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
Place indismissible
Pic Zhuyu
The wooded top dominates the valleys and plains of Henan. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, warm clothing and hourly margin remain useful, even in summer.
