Xia Wei steamed by clouds.

Terraces after snow.

There are thousands of cliffs.

The mountain peaks soar into the sky.

Taihang Tianji

Mid-levels sunrise.

Taihang has no ridges in the world.

When they boarded the Taihang Mountain, the ancients deeply felt the straightness and precipitousness of the "Tianji". From Li Bai's "I would like to cross the Yellow River, but the ice will choke the ferry, and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow", to Shi Xie's "Taihang Mountain is full, and the valley in the rock hides wind and thunder", and then to Cao Cao's "How difficult it is to go north to Taihang Mountain", all these reflect the ancient people's awe of Taihang Mountain.

Looking into the distance, the ancients were even more amazed at the magnificence of Taihang Mountain. From Su Shi's "Taihang Mountain comes from the west to Wan Matun, and it must compete with Daiyue" to Yan Jinqing's "Taihang Mountain is not enough, making people look back step by step", all of which show the praise of the ancients for Taihang Mountain.

The majestic Taihang stretches for 800 miles, just like a dancing silver snake, showing its perseverance and inner beauty everywhere. In Changzhi, south-central China, this silver snake seems to have touched a sensitive nerve, or flew into a rage and raised the mountain; Or shake your posture and hover into the deep valley; Or tenderness, spread out into a roof. Between the peaks and valleys, or everywhere are cliffs with thousands of walls and valleys, convex peaks rising from the ground, unfathomable canyons; Or a mountain full of songs and dances, and a piece of innocent girl's warmth constitutes a magnificent picture scroll. "Hero, wonder, danger, preciseness and beauty" has become a vivid description of it.

The most representative of Taihang Mountain in Central and South China is the Mid-Levels, where "the peaks stand at the top of Taihang Mountain". Climbing to the top of the mountain, the vastness and broadness of Taihang Mountain came to my face, and the "Taihang Xiongzi" was amazing. Looking closely, the mountains are like swords, straight into the sky; Overlooking, the 800-mile Taihang is Malik Pentium, surging; Overlooking, layers of cliffs are surrounded by endless scenery. Being in the clouds on the top of the mountain, I feel the clouds under my feet, piling up on the top of the mountain and surrounding me. The peaks rise and fall in the valleys, and the clouds steam and glow. In the breeze, they sometimes rise, sometimes fall, sometimes turn, and sometimes stretch, forming a strange and changeable sea of clouds, which is refreshing. Mid-levels sunrise is the most spectacular scenery in Taihang Mountain. The east is white. Against the backdrop of the morning glow, a red sun Ran Ran rises, and a huge fireball surrounds the whole Taihang Mountain Peak in flames. The peaks are dazzling, and it is known as "the sunrise on Mount Tai is not allowed, and the sunrise in the Mid-Levels is the strangest".

The canyon is a unique landscape of Taihang Mountain. The most representative Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon has more than 400 scenic spots such as Baquan Gorge, Hongdu Gorge, Qinglong Gorge, Heilongtan and Zituanshan, with more than 300 species of rare plants and over 30 species of national protected animals. In the scenic area, there are thousands of peaks, rugged rocks, lush forests, hanging springs and waterfalls, splashing pearls and splashing jade, and the winding path of karst bridge opening is secluded. Layers of Danxia rock formations and trilobite fossils can be seen everywhere, recording the evolution track of years, deducing the reproduction of species, telling the magic of nature, and winning the reputation of National Geological Park, National Forest Park and the top ten most beautiful canyons in China.

Taihang water town is a unique scenery of Taihang Mountain. There are steep cliffs, high Gorges and Pinghu, which are made in heaven, waterfalls and waterfalls, and the turbid waves are sky-high. It combines the grandeur of the north with the beauty of southern Xinjiang, and combines the beauty of masculinity and femininity in one place. On both sides of the Zhanghe River, there are many national and provincial scenic spots, and the natural landscape and human landscape complement each other. God-given scenery and national treasures complement each other and are known as the Baili Gallery. Along the special tourist lines and country roads extending in all directions, you can sometimes walk at the bottom of the valley and look up at the cliffs standing on both sides. Sometimes hovering on the mountainside, you can pick up a white cloud and play with it; Sometimes go through the wall into the hole and feel the miracle of hanging the wall; Sometimes you run at the top of the mountain and experience the exciting wonders of walking in the mountains.

The unique geographical location makes Taihang Mountain in Central South laugh like a spring mountain, drip like a summer mountain, get drunk like an autumn mountain and sleep like a winter mountain. It is everywhere and suitable for all seasons.

Spring has come, everything has revived, and Taihang Mountain, which has been sleeping for a winter, is full of vitality. The cliff is like a wreath, full of peach blossoms, pear blossoms, apricot blossoms and forsythia flowers. The ice and snow in the canyon melt, the stream gurgles and the scenery is charming everywhere. Taihang Mountain is like a fresh and lively watercolor painting.

In summer, Taihang Mountain has faded into a lush landscape, just like a never-ending landscape painting. Trees-lined towns and villages have become excellent health resorts. After a heavy rain, the peaks are fresher and the cliffs are more distinct. The fog in the canyon is like a fairyland. Walking on the canyon path, walking in the mountains, listening to insects and watching the trickle of the stream, you can appreciate the grandeur and tenderness of Taihang Mountain.

Every autumn, Taihang Mountain will be outlined into colorful oil paintings by nature with colorful pigments. Red is like fire, yellow is like gold, and green is like jade. Various colors are dotted in mountains, rivers and roadsides, just like a "fairyland on earth". In late autumn, the shrubs are frosted and dyed, showing the color of fire. There are beautiful flowers everywhere, and the autumn colors are gorgeous and beautiful. Is it Xiangshan or better than Xiangshan?

Winter is coming, snow is coming as scheduled, Taihang Mountain is covered in silver, clouds are fluttering, mountains are overlapping, and sometimes it is hidden and sometimes it is beautiful. Throughout Shan Ye, conifers, shrubs, and jade branches formed by rime and ice hanging everywhere are clean, crystal clear and spotless. It can be said that there is no ink in Taihang for thousands of years, and both thick ink and light color are suitable. Damei Taihang shows people a beautiful picture of ink and wash.

Let's meet in Changzhi and enjoy the magnificent Taihang scenery!
