Leave Beijing for two days of dramatic roads and glass bridges: travel by bullet train to Henan, explore Guoliangcun’s carved tunnel and spend a day among Yuntai Mountain’s gorges and waterfalls. This private tour includes train tickets, guide, one night’s hotel and most meals.

The morning is brisk on Beijing West Railway Station as the bullet train slides out of the city — a clean, fast ribbon of steel that delivers travelers toward Henan’s folded ridgelines. By midday the road narrows and the cliffs of Guoliangcun appear, a village carved into the Taihang range where a 1,300‑meter tunnel road pierces sheer rock. Walkers thread the tunnel or ride a battery bus as light and shadow race along the carved windows; the mountain seems to watch every visitor with slow patience.

History
Guoliangcun’s tunnel road was hand‑carved by villagers in the 1970s to connect their mountain settlement; Yuntai’s cliffs preserve strata that record long geological uplift and erosion.
Conservation
Visitors should stay on marked trails and avoid feeding wildlife; both sites manage visitor flows to protect fragile vegetation and minimize erosion.
