lies on the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains, at the junction of Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province and Zezhou County, Shanxi Province, there is a historic attraction called Longxiang Mountain . According to legend, this place can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, it was called "Yong", which was the fief of the son of King Wen of of Zhou. Since the current Longxiang Mountain is in Henan and Shanxi, it has caused a lot of controversy since its completion.
Longxiang Mountain is a mountain system composed of five grains such as Dongda River Valley, Yanjiao River Valley, Shahe River Valley, and six peaks such as Yunu Peak, Hulu Peak, and Dazhai Peak. It has a total area of 33.46 square kilometers and the highest peak can reach 941 meters above sea level. The lakes in the mountains are like ink and water paintings , which has both the gentleness and beauty of the Jiangnan water town and the mighty and majestic mountains in the northern mountains. No wonder they have been called "Little Jiuzhai, Henan".
From Jiaozuo city, heading east, enter the depths of Taihang Mountain, and arrive at Beimen Beiye Village in Longxiang Mountain Scenic Area. Here is an altitude of 763 meters, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, which is a good place to escape the summer heat.
When you come to the scenic area, the first thing you see is an ancient city wall full of a sense of time. After entering, you walk through a winding mountain road and then arrive at the second garden gate. Since it is located in a mountain basin, getting off the bus makes people feel quiet and elegant, and it has a unique world.
Longxiang Mountain is located in the transition zone between Taihang Mountains and the northern Henan Plain. The scenic area is majestic and has cliffs, with many canyons and walls. The most interesting thing is the huge rock in the narrow crack of the mountain gate. Walking below is terrifying, but the beautiful scenery after the past makes people suddenly enlightened.
In addition to the mountains, caves, waterfalls, and springs also have their own characteristics. Moreover, there are many vegetation in the scenic area, including , pine, cordyceps, and locust trees. Not only are the natural oxygen bars, but the scenery of the four seasons is also different, attracting many people to visit.
The ecology in the scenic area is also very intact, with more than 240 species of animals of various types. The wild animals with a large number of distribution include grass rabbit , roe deer, hedgehog, fox, squirrel, rock pigeon , yellow reed horn , eagle, owl, Taihang macaque, etc. It is really a paradise close to the downtown city.
And inside the scenic area, there is an ancient village - Yanjinghe Village. There are many historical sites and dense cultural landscapes. There are the "Inscription of Buddha Rock" excavated in the early Sui Dynasty and the Xinglong Temple built at that time. There are the ancient wells of Yanjing River related to the legend of " Zhao Kuangyin Under Yanjing". They are famous gold medal beautiful villages.
In order to make full use of the beautiful scenery in the scenic area, the local government has also built a Ming and Qing street, Hulu Temple, reed marsh, honeycomb theater, off-road play valley and other attractions based on the local scenery characteristics and historical culture.
However, because this is the junction of Shanxi and Henan, there will naturally be people in Shanxi who are dissatisfied. The tickets and GDP are both in Henan, and the mountains and rivers that are really in Shanxi. Why?
However, some people also said that the main cultural landscape of Longxiang Mountain, the 12 Hui Village belongs to Henan, because many red stories were left behind during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it is known as "Jiaozuo's Xibaipo ". In addition, the signals inside the scenic area have always maintained the Henan signal, so it is understandable that it belongs to Henan.
Of course, no matter where this place belongs, it is not something we tourists need to consider. As long as we can enjoy the natural and cultural landscape of Longxiang Mountain, it is worth it for us, right?
