Jiaozuo Longxiang Mountain Tourist Area is located in the southern foot of Taihang Mountain with a total area of ​​33.46 square kilometers. The cultural history here has a long history. It belongs to Ningyi in the late Shang Dynasty and to the Yong State during the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Xuwu County Chronicles" records: "Yong is the fief of King Wen of Zhou." Volume 9 of "Shui Jing Notes•Qingshui Chapter": "Changminggou passes through the south of Yongcheng in the east, and Hanquan water pours it." This is what is talking about. After the Spring and Autumn Period, it belonged to Xiuwu County for a long time, and only returned to Shanyang County for a short time. It is now affiliated to , Zhongzhan District, Jiaozuo City.

Longxiang Mountain consists 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. The highest peak is 941 meters above sea level.

When we arrived at the gate of the scenic area, there was first an ancient city wall full of age. Then we drove along the rugged mountain road to the scenic area. Although the road was not easy to walk on, the scenery along the way was still quite charming. After staying in the city for a long time, when you see these mountains and trees, your mood will naturally be much more relaxed and happy. Staying away from the noise of the city, you are more of a yearning for nature, and the air seems to be filled with youth and freedom.

Longxiang Mountain Scenic Area has scenic spots such as Ming and Qing Street, Hulu Temple, reed marsh, honeycomb theater, water rafting, off-road play valley, glass suspension bridge, etc. It is a popular science ecological tourism boutique scenic spot featuring the rich waterscapes of the Taihang Mountains, with a long history and culture as its connotation, and combining scientific value and aesthetic value.

We started the hiking trip to Hulu Temple. . .

Here the green vegetation is lush

Alpine reed marsh below Hulu Temple. It is very spectacular and the air is very good. It is worthy of being a natural oxygen bar, lush and lush.

Longxiang Mountain is located in the transition zone between Taihang Mountains and the northern Henan Plain, with an altitude of between 350-941 meters, decreasing from northwest to southeast. Geology is deeply affected by the mutual squeeze and twisting of the Shanxi plate and the North China plate, and the mountains in the district are majestic, with peaks, cliffs and ravines. It mainly includes micro-terrain landscapes such as convex peaks, canyons, cliff walls, caves, waterfalls, and springs.

An ancient village in the scenic area-- Yanjinghe village. There are many ancient monuments 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, and the ancient well of Yanjing River related to the legend of " Zhao Kuangyin Under Yanjing".

"Inscription of Buddha Rock" cliff stone is carved under a steep cliff at the east end of the canyon below Yanjinghe Village. The stone walls are densely carved with neat Chinese characters. The inscription has more than 800 characters, and the signature is the fourth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (584).

Due to its age, many characters are difficult to recognize, but from the remaining inscriptions, we can know that the peak above Foyan Temple is Xianyan Mountain, so the stone Buddha is named. The location here is dangerous and the scenery is amazing, from the sentence "Where is the place where Wang Jun flies his sword". It can be inferred that before the Sui Dynasty, there were kings who had moved here. The inscription shows: "If there is Zen master Tan Fu, his wisdom and knowledge are as empty as empty, and he clearly understands the true and false." According to historical records, Tan Fu was a disciple of Master Huiyuan. It is said that this temple was built by Tan Fu and was the sister temple of Jingying Temple.

There is a stone Buddha naturally formed on the mountain wall above the "Inscription of Buddha Rock".

Buddha statue is slightly larger than a real person, in a sitting position, and should be caused by the long-term dissolution of the mountain springs that seep out of the mountain wall. Unfortunately, the Buddha statue has been destroyed, but it is vaguely visible to the Buddha's body at that time. It is precisely because of it that the "Inscription of Buddha Rock" is created.

There was Xinglong Temple not far from the east of the village. Now the temple is no longer there, only the foundation site and a huge stone turtle carrying a stone tablet. In the old village of Yanjinghe, there is a broken stele "Repairing Xinglong Temple Monument" inlaid on the foundation of the house wall. It was signed on "May 13, 40th year of Wanli, Ming Dynasty", which is the 13th day of the lunar calendar in 1612 AD. According to legend, during the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was ordered to come here to destroy the mountain bandit Liu Hua, and he also went to Xinglong Temple in the east of the village to visit.

There is an ancient well in the canyon, located in the river valley west of the village, and the well water is clear and clear. The flow of water has been constantly flowing for thousands of years, nourishing the nearby villagers. Whenever the water is heavy in summer, the well will be flooded.Yanjing River was called Xinglong River before the Qing Dynasty. Villagers said that this is also the origin of the Wanjing River.

There is another attraction in this village, which is a mural cave. The mural cave is on the back mountain of Yanjinghe Old Village. Although the graphics and contents are difficult to identify, the colors are still brilliant. The mural cave is a natural cave, with a height of more than 3 meters and a length of more than 10 meters. No one knows the year and month of the mural painting.

The scenic area has intact ecology, and there are more than 240 species of animals in the tourist area. The wild animals with a large number of distribution include grass rabbit , roe deer, hedgehog, fox, yellow weasel , squirrel, stone chicken, rock pigeon , yellow reed thorn , eagle, owl, woodpecker, cuckoo, Taihang macaque, etc. It is really a paradise close to the downtown city.

Here you can truly feel the mountain from the side to the peak, and you can see different pictures from different angles.

Scenic area has good vegetation, and the main tree species are Orchid cypress , pine, cordyceps, Locust , Coptis , Horned horn , Horned horn , Pineapple, White Elm , Stinky Tou , Paotong , Poplar , Mountain Soap Corner , jingts, Yellow Bead husk , Forsythia , Purple Sophora , pods, small leaf buckthorn, etc. Therefore, the colors of the century are different, especially the red leaves are all over the mountain in autumn, which is particularly charming.
