Top places to visit (16 attractions)

1. 4.5 Sanmenxia Swan Viewing Area (15 reviews)
   - A Serene Walk by the lake
   Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historic Walking Areas
   
   
   There were some photographers along the lake, as well as retailers selling art work. You had lots of space to take a walk with your loved ones. Even in the day, it was not overly crowded and visitors could spread out along the entire walkway. There is no entrance charge. Quite a nice place to watch the swans in action. See more..
   
2. 4.5 Guo State Museum (12 reviews)
   - Interesting place to visit.
   Thursday: 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM History Museums
   
   
   This museum was very interesting to visit - and was enjoyable to to learn more about the Guo empire and learn more about the history of this area. The artefacts were so old and well looked after. See more..
   
3. 4.5 Sanmenxia Dam Scenic Area on Yellow River (7 reviews)
   - Nice to see the history of Sanmenxia Dam
   Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Bodies of Water
   
   
   It was good to be able to take a drive out to Yellow River Dam and to be able to read and discover more about the history of Sanmenxia and the dam. The dam itself wasn't pretty but the surrounding area was quite nice. See more..
   
4. 4.5 Tianjing House (2 reviews)
   - 神奇的穴居
   Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings
   
   
   黄土高坡的古老穴居，在地下挖出一个方坑，四周在挖出窑洞居住，有井房，有牲口房，有厨房，大约7.8孔住宿的地方，在过去的年代，只要有力气，就可以解决一家人的住房了，窑洞在底下冬暖夏凉，8月进入地下，略微觉得有点潮湿。 See more..
   
5. 4.0 Sanmenxia Dam on Yellow River (5 reviews)
   - 很有氣勢
   Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Dams
   
   
   第一次見到真實的大壩真的比想像中壯觀，站在大壩下面人好渺小想像著開閘放水的那一刻，蠻恐怖的。大壩頂上很寬，壩中間還有豫晉兩省交界線。壩一邊是安靜碧波的河水另一邊是怪石嶙峋的河道，還可以下到壩裡面並走到河道的觀景台上，風光無限。 See more..
   
6. 4.0 Shan Zhou Scenic Area (4 reviews)
   - 去看天鹅的必经之路
   Thursday: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM Historic Walking Areas
   
   
   其实就是陕州公园，可以到黄河边上去看看，里面有个很大的草坪，据说这里举办过万人帐篷节，还获得过吉尼斯。里面山山水水的，就是因为来的时候解气不对啊，树叶都掉完了，不过去看看锦鲤鱼，和天鹅还是不错。 See more..
   
7. 4.0 Yellow River Ancient Trail (1 review)
   - 不虛此行
   Hiking Trails
   上了大壩頂上坐電梯下來到這邊的河道上就可以欣賞兩岸的風光，因為沒有放水所以水很淺，河道和兩岸的脈絡看的很清楚，也蠻壯觀，兩岸高高的石頭被古人一鑿一鑿修築成棧道，給後人留下豐富的想像和歷史的直觀感受。 See more..
   
8. 3.5 Baolun Pagoda (3 reviews)
   - Jin Dynasty Pagoda with Many Nearby Attractions
   Religious Sites
   
   
   The pagoda itself is about average, but my Very Good rating is based on a number of other attractions close to the pagoda, some of which are not listed yet on Trip Advisor. The pagoda was begun in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in 1177 during the Jin. Near the base of the pagoda is a group of petrified tree trunks. Nearby is a stone arch built in 1623 during the Ming, the Sino-Japanese Friendship Arboretum, ancient rammed-earth city wall, a temple, and the City Museum which so far is not listed on Trip Advisor. Not far away is a Warring States chariot burial tucked away in the midst of a residential neighborhood which almost no one knows about, and a few kilometers away is the world-class Guo State Tombs, Chariot Burial, and Museum. All these are photographed extensively and appear on my GaryLeeTodd.com website. There is also a swan lake nearby which, I believe, has been reviewed, and since I'm an expert on Chinese history and not waterfowl, I shall skip that attraction. The arch, museum, temple, wall, and peace garden are all a short walk from the pagoda and can all be easily viewed in a morning or afternoon. See more..

    - 少少人
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    外觀不錯的，我覺得是三門峽比較漂亮的商業建築，圍起來裡面幾條小街道，不過都是一個個小店鋪服裝複印照片什麼的，沒有特別之處，倒是外面臨街的地方有很多小餐廳，做的蠻好吃的。 See more..
    
11. 3.0 Huixing Ancient Ferry (1 review)
    - 黃河古渡
    Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Ferries
    
    
    和三門峽其他渡口一樣都淹沒在歷史的洪流中，只留下少少的念想供遊客把玩，會興渡的對面就是茅津渡，唯會興渡的碼頭修的好一些大一些。 See more..
    
12. 2.0 HuangHe SanMenXia ZhanLanGuan (1 review)
    - 歷史脈絡
    Speciality Museums
    展覽館座落在三門峽景區裡面的一棟建築，共有兩層，比較破舊很多圖片都退了色，不過還是可以很詳盡的了解三門峽的建設史和歷史發展，它是黃河中上游第一座大壩，同時也因為本身選址和黃河泥沙問題導致了上游支流渭河成為地上懸河良田變鹽鹼，所以從20多年前就基本處於半運轉狀態並在壩底修了很多卸沙孔緩解上游泥沙。看來這種改變自然的工程還是應該慎重，像三門峽現在就很尷尬。 See more..

    - 只有想像遺跡
    Ferries
    三門峽古、近代幾個大渡口現在都成遺跡啦，原先是連結兩省的重要糧食運輸通道，隨著公路鐵路發展慢慢沒落，太陽渡名字好有趣，應該屬於陝州風景區的一部分，這裏的黃河溫婉流淌，挺適合渡船。 See more..
