Qinglong Gorge runs north-south and has a total length of 5 kilometers. It is dotted with 4 scenic spots including Qinglongtan, Lianhuatai, Fox Fairy Cave and Maqizhai. Because there is Qinglong Lake in the gorge, it is named Qinglong gorge. Qinglong Gorge has beautiful natural scenery and is a tourist resort for leisure and vacation. The south entrance of Qinglong Gorge is wide and open, and the mountains on both sides are gentle and low, facing each other from a distance. Manzhu Zhuzhu: cypresses, persimmons, jujube trees, flowers and plants, everywhere green and colorful. The bottom of the valley is full of grotesque spirit stones, the smallest one can be played with in the hand, and the largest one is rectangular, 15 meters long, 15 meters high, and 3 meters wide, standing alone on a small hill. Surprisingly, there is a cypress growing on the top of the big stone, which is lush in all seasons. Not far from Dalingshi, there is a riverbed fault at the bottom of the canyon. The stream falls from the top of the cliffs of the fault into the deep pool, forming a huge waterfall with a drop of more than 30 meters and a width of 2 meters. The sound of the water is like thunder. Over the years, the waterfall has been scoured to form a pool. The area of ​​the pool is more than 200 square meters, the depth is more than 10 meters, and the water in the pool is as green as dyed. According to local folklore: In ancient times, there was a green dragon in Qinglongtan.



We lined up and walked on this road, stopping to admire the beautiful scenery while looking at the stone steps under our feet. I don't want to miss the beauty, and I don't want to become a drowned rat. Ha ha


Have a solid foundation!


Ha ha


After the troops left, I wanted to take a picture, but I didn't take it well.

Oh, it's great

depressed

Man, here's a glass of wine

Going forward to the middle of Qinglong Gorge, I found that on the top of the cliff, there are two caves of different size and size. The big cave has two caves, the outer and the inner. The spring water flows out of the cave. The Fox Fairy Cave is 400 meters long. The big hole is rectangular, 3 meters wide and 5 meters high; the small hole is square, 3 meters long and 3 meters wide; The name is Fox Fairy Cave. Fox Fairy Cave is a natural limestone cave formed 500 million years ago to 400 million years ago. It has a well-developed karst landform, and stalactites form various cave landscapes. Entering the entrance of the Great Cave, there are two caves, the outer and the inner. There are stalactite patterns resembling various flowers on the right side of the outer cave, and stalactite patterns resembling flying dragons on the left side of the cave, extending into the small cave next to it. go. There is a protruding giant stalactite at the top of the cave, facing the entrance of the cave, which looks like a frog. A waterfall more than 20 meters high and 2 meters wide spews out from the mouth of the frog, falls to the bottom of the cave, and flows slowly out of the cave. According to local folklore: the spring water flowing out of the fox fairy cave is the magic water left by the fox in the cave after becoming a fairy. Drinking too much can cure diseases, strengthen the body and prolong life. The mouth of Qinglong Gorge is wide and open, and the mountains on both sides are gentle and low, facing each other from a distance. Xiongxia waterfall. I saw the stream rushing down from the top of the fault cliff and falling into the pool, forming a huge waterfall with a drop of more than 30 meters and a width of 2 meters. The sound of the water is like thunder. Just entering the canyon, a cold wind blows head-on, the chill is faint and refreshing. Going forward, the strange rocks and plate-shaped interlaced rocks in the canyon that have experienced more than 2 million years of landform movement are broken, which is amazing. According to local folklore: In ancient times, there was a green dragon in Qinglongtan. Qinglongtan is surrounded by mountains, majestic and magnificent. Walking out of the canyon, the sky is blue, the clouds are light, and the temperature is very refreshing, which makes people think. The love of Taihang Peak is particularly beautiful against the blue sky. Here you can not only appreciate the uncanny workmanship and beautiful scenery of nature, but also investigate and understand the history and current situation of geological changes. Here is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a quiet place of mountains and rivers, returning to nature, or resting under the lush trees, or sleeping among forest springs, eating wild delicacies and special meals. It is really a landscape drunk tourist, everywhere is ecstasy.


so cool, holy water


Leaving the Fox Fairy Cave and continuing on, we came to the end of Qinglong Gorge. On the cliff, there is a huge natural stone platform. The stone platform faces south from the north. There is a natural limestone cave in the middle of the platform. There are lotus-shaped stalactites at the entrance of the cave. Spring water gushes out from the entrance of the cave to form a fountain. The drop between the lotus platform and the bottom of the valley is more than 100 meters. With the change of annual precipitation, the lotus of the fountain first sprouts in spring, blooms in summer, declines in autumn and withers in winter. At the same time, with the change of sunshine intensity, the spring water presents eight colors of white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, just like the eight-color lotus in full bloom. Looking from the bottom of the valley, it is truly beautiful.


downhill! back to the farmhouse


classmate opened it


Baquan Gorge overlooks the whole area. The mountains on the east and west sides are undulating, and the valleys and valleys in the middle face each other.


The mountain is famous for its beautiful peaks and history. Climbing up the steps to the top, walking among the mountains, the mountains are emerald, the strange peaks stand in forests, the mountain springs are tinkling, and fairyland emerges one after another. Linjian can see the gorge and hear the waves, you can dance with the birds for a short break, you can watch the sunrise and sunset day and night, and you can enjoy the aura of the fog and sea. It is really a fairyland on earth, which is rare. Therefore, there are many ancient city sites such as Xianju, Windlass City, Maqizhai, Shatuo, Banyao, etc. In particular, the two mountains rely on the torrents of the canyon as a natural barrier. The stories of those who have tried to conquer the world in the past dynasties stick to their cottages, compete in Taihang, and fight for hegemony in the Central Plains are endlessly circulated and well-known. It has accumulated rich cultural resources for the famous historical mountains. It makes the Baquanxia Scenic Area the icing on the cake.



The gorge competes for prestige and is famous for its water. The 11-kilometer long gorge is like a long scroll of splashed ink, which condenses the momentum of the gorge, mountain springs, waterfalls, torrents, strange peaks and rocks, forming a huge mountain gorge landscape painting. Boating on the lake or going up against the current, "the picture scroll unfolds slowly along the scroll", looking around the two sides, the cliffs are as sharp as cutting, and the confrontation is towering, majestic and breathtaking; the springs gushing between the cliffs on the shore, the water columns line up, and the waterfalls cascade one after another. Flowing silver and flowing jade, all springs converge into the valley, the sound is like a bell. The majestic canyon adds endless aura, so it has the main source of the Qi River and is known as "the first water gorge in Taihang". Looking up, the top of the gorge is conceived by the sun and the moon, sculpted by wind and rain, strange stones are like bamboo shoots, and holes are like doors. What is particularly amazing is that the same canyon, the same cliff body, and the same riverbed exposed three ancient rock formations, including the Proterozoic Changcheng Jihong sandstone, Paleozoic Cambrian, Ordovician limestone, and shale. Formed layer by layer and season by layer, it fully demonstrates the long evolutionary history of ancient marine life. Known as the "Ancient Oceanographic Museum". After the inspection, national geological experts praised in amazement: Baquan Gorge is the central area of ​​Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon Geopark, and the exposed gneiss is a great miracle in China. According to experts from the Tourism Research and Planning Design Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Baquan Gorge is a "world-class top-quality tourism resource" and "the first male gorge in Taihang".


Tired of climbing, suffocated


Sky City, an all-glass house! Tremble on it! Just get used to it!



Hongdou Gorge is known as "China's Love Gorge" because of the rare tree species "yew" growing in the territory, which means lovesickness. This day, when I took the scenic spot bus, it rained heavily as soon as I got off the bus.



They actually came over! Awesome! A very funny story happened here. The girl in the picture wanted to shake others down on the chain bridge, but instead she threw herself into the water. There was a heavy rain and the water swelled and they were all soaked, so they went back to the farmhouse before finishing the swim



Hongdou Gorge is majestic, dangerous and secluded. It combines masculinity and roughness in the north with softness and beauty in the south. There are majestic mountains and beautiful waters, straight walls and cliffs. The entire canyon was formed by the earth-making movement hundreds of millions of years ago, with axes and knives, cliffs facing each other, high valleys, waterfalls and pools, rich rock formations and numerous fossils. The forest here is lush, the ecology is intact, and the forest vegetation coverage rate reaches 90%, just like a natural oxygen bar. On the pleat-shaped ditch slope deep in the canyon, there are more than 20,000 natural yews growing in patches, which is rare in northern my country; the Stone Tree Park with an area of ​​2.5 square kilometers is full of strange stones, uneven trees, and stone trees. They are interdependent, natural, and unique, which are highly praised by experts and scholars; a variety of orchards and botanical gardens with great ornamental value have also been developed and built in the canyon, which is a good place for couples to have a tryst, leisure and sightseeing. There are rural people here, and the rural scenery is excellent. The folk customs are honest and simple, and a poetic picture of "small bridges and flowing water" is an ideal place for urbanites to return to simplicity. The mountains and rivers in the canyon are in harmony with each other, and the red beans are harmonious and warm. The beauty of Hongdou Gorge lies in nature; the strangeness of Hongdou Gorge lies in its rarity; the seclusion of Hongdou Gorge lies in its depth; The mountains, rivers and rivers here, every plant and every tree, fully reflect the harmony of yin and yang, the combination of ancient and modern times, and the harmony between man and nature. The main scenic spots are Qixian Valley, Sandie Lake, Ziyun Ridge, Zawtooth Valley, Longyan Spring, Digu Temple, Stone Tree Garden, Red Bean Valley, Botanical Garden, Goose Palm Ditch, etc. Entering along the gorge, it is like a falling gallery, with thousands of peaks competing for beauty, thousands of trees competing for strangeness, clear streams, waterfalls, lakes and mountains, and colorful. As the poet praised, "This scene should have been in the sky, but the drunken Buddha missed and fell into the world." So far, you can climb cliffs to enjoy red beans, swim in the middle of the sky, watch the wonders in the valleys, play green waves in the lakes and ponds, ferry the ancient rhymes, and sing love songs across the bank. What you enjoy is harmony, beauty, and harmony, and what you appreciate is warmth, warmth, and warmth. Red beans, make people yearn for each other, full of affection!



On the last day of the heavy rain, we went to downtown Changzhi, Chenghuang Temple, and then went to eat buffet. It was really refreshing
