[The Importance of Feihu Valley's Geographical Location]

Feihuyu is a mountain-type scenic area, and it is also one of the famous "Eight Xings of Taihang" in history. Xing is the east-west valley (also known as Henggu) in Taihang Mountain.

The famous eight Xings in history are: Jundu Xing, Boyang Xing, Feihu Xing, Jing Xing, Fukou Xing, Bai Xing, Taihang Xing, and Zhiguan Xing. These Eight Xings are the main passages through the Taihang Mountains.

Feihu Valley is located at the junction of Taihang Mountains and Yanshan Mountains, and at the foot of Xiaowutai Mountain, the highest peak of Taihang Mountains. It is an important ancient passage through the intersection of Taihang Mountain, Yanshan Mountain and Hengshan Mountain.

The average altitude of Feihu Valley is between 1,500 and 2,500 meters. It runs north-south and stretches for more than 20 kilometers. The widest point is 70-100 meters, and the narrowest point is only 4 meters. In ancient times, Feihu Valley has always been an important passage leading to the Shanxi Plateau and the Mongolian prairie.

Therefore, Feihu Valley has historically been an important hub from the Central Plains to the desert, and an important channel for Mongolian and Yuan ethnic minorities to invade the Central Plains. Feihu Valley has had a very important military status since ancient times.

In addition, in the peaceful era, Feihu Valley was also an important traffic route for merchants from the north and the south. Merchants transported tea, silk and other special products from the Central Plains to outside the Great Wall, and then exchanged them for fur, dairy products and other goods, which prospered the economy. It is also an important ancient commercial road. .

【Landscape of Feihu Valley】

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Sichang, a scholar and Minister of the Ministry of War, recorded in "The Story of Feihukou", describing the mountain situation of Feihukou as "thousands of men draw their swords, and the stars are gathered together", and the mountain road "turns back and changes", like "Zhuqu Ant "Through", there is "like the gate of heaven" at the height, and "swirling one's heels and feet" at the depth. This shows how dangerous Feihu Valley is.

One: a line of sky

Along the way, the terrain is getting higher and higher, the canyon is getting narrower and narrower, the peaks and ridges are closed, the two walls are interlaced with strange rocks, and the cool breeze is blowing. This is the famous "One Line of Sky" scenic spot.

A line of sky, two steep walls, a line of slight passage, the widest part is a thousand meters, and the narrowest part is three to five meters. Just like splitting with a sharp axe, looking up, the sky is surrounded by mountains, leaving only a line, so it is called a line of sky.

A line of sky is a masterpiece of nature, a landscape formed tens of thousands of years ago by the crustal movement.

Two: Eight Immortals Cave

On the steep eastern mountain wall, there are eight caves next to each other, called the Eight Immortals Caves. There is a beautiful legend about these eight caves.

Legend has it that the Eight Immortals once visited Feihu Valley before they became immortals. They saw Feihu Valley full of green mountains, pots flowing like belts, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and beautiful scenery everywhere.

So the eight immortals used their divine power to open a cave for practice. Later, after the eight immortals became immortals, they went to the East China Sea, and the caves of the eight immortals have been preserved to this day.

In the Taihang Mountains in Yu County and Laiyuan County, there are many broad and flat mountain ridges over 2,000 meters above sea level, forming an alpine meadow ecosystem, which is called "Dianziliang" locally. These Dianziliangs are divided into: East Dianziliang, Xidianziliang, Nandianziliang, Beidianziliang. And Beidianziliang is a very famous "banquet lump" in history.

【The origin of the banquet】

"Historical Records, The Family of Zhao" records: Zhao Xiangzi went north to the summer house and hosted a banquet for the king. Let the cooks use copper and wooden buckets to pour food on behalf of the king and his servants. Yin ordered Zairen to kill the Dai king and officials with a wooden fight, and then raised troops to pacify the Dai land. "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhao Xiangzi coveted the rich land of the ancient country for a long time. Soon after his father Zhao Jianzi passed away, Zhao Xiangzi conspired to kill the Daiwang.

Zhao Xiangzi was throwing a banquet for the Dai Wang. After the Dai Wang was drunk, he relaxed his vigilance. The cook killed the Dai Wang with a copper-wood bucket, and the Dai Wang's entourage was also killed. Zhao Xiangzi launched an army to conquer Dai, and the Dai country perished from then on. This place where the acting king is entertained is called: Banquet Tuo.

Putting a banquet on the top of the mountain, in nature, human beings are so small, just passing by, don’t take yourself too seriously

This mountain is still standing here for tens of thousands of years. What does it mean? Life is steadfast, enjoy every short process to the fullest 

So what about Dai Wang, the scenery is too much, why not go faster

The big troop is going down the mountain, arranged in an orderly manner, where the cows will end up on the dinner plate---Wall Street bulls will also escape into this journey

Down the mountain, one of the birthplaces of the Chinese is worth seeing. to reflect
