Today is the fourth day for our Shanghai old man team to enter the South Taihang Mountain Farmhouse. In the morning, we chartered a car to the Baquanxia Scenic Spot, which is the nearest Internet celebrity. In fact, this Baquan Gorge and Hongdou Gorge are the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon. Closely connected, the three scenic spots are on the same road, with a difference of up to 5 kilometers. It's just that each scenic spot occupies a gully. After expanding the publicity, individual contracting has become a seemingly irrelevant place.
This is a free guide map from the visitor center.

Baquanxia Tourist Scenic Area is one of the high-grade scenic spots with the most magnificent scenery, the richest connotation and the most grand momentum in the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon in Shanxi. Since there are eight springs in the valley behind the bridge in the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountains, the folks have called them "eight streams" since ancient times. In addition, there are two spring groups in the middle of the canyon, each with eight springs, and the three springs have the same amount of water. Eight, so the scenic spot here in Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon is named "Baquan Gorge".
This is the cable car to the top of the mountain, 20 yuan for a single trip. Baquan Gorge is the most quintessential scenery in the Taihang Mountains. "Swimming in the water, looking at the canyon, looking at the sky, and walking in the clouds" are all in the peaks and ravines, forming a majestic and magnificent canyon wonder, forming a unique landscape of cliffs and beautiful waters. The charm is enough to make the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon a beautiful pearl. When visitors come here, they have a feeling of looking up like Zhangjiajie and looking down like Jiuzhaigou!
Jade Emperor Square is located at the peak of the western foot of Tiinao Mountain, on which there are Jade Emperor Pavilion and Jade Emperor Palace. Yuhuang Pavilion is an octagonal double eaves cross hill, with three floors, red and white. The building is designed in accordance with traditional cultural concepts, integrating Taoist culture into architectural art. Vermilion is a sacred and festive color, octagonal means all directions, and three layers imply heaven, earth, and human realms. Flick your fingers and leave no trace.

There are peaks, forests and seas, sparkling water, dots of green hills, and long green shades. The peculiar canyon landscape is "only in this mountain".
I saw a natural rock arch volleying over the top of the mountain. It is magnificent and magnificent. I have to admire the uncanny workmanship of nature.
[Wonderful Scenery Beitianmen] Walking along the flow of people, the Beitianmen will come to you unknowingly, which will make you speechless.
Beitianmen: Located on the top of the cliff of Yuhuang Peak, it is a huge natural rock arch and the largest natural stone arch in North China.
Baquan Gorge in the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon starts from the ancient bridge of Qiaoshang Village in the south, extends to the Shizi River in the north, attaches to the Timao Mountains in the east, and connects to the Shihe Mushan Ridge in the west, with a total area of 170 square kilometers. In the territory, the peaks are competing for beauty, towering into the clouds; the ravines are competing for novelty, and the torrents are advancing bravely; the secluded canyon stretches for tens of kilometers, and the gurgling water flows all over the scenic spot. There are more than 100 springs and dozens of waterfalls. The springs jingle and flow for a long time, and the waterfalls roar for thousands of miles. You can watch the gorge and hear the waves in Linjian, you can watch the sunrise and sunset day and night, and you can enjoy the aura of the sea of fog in the fog and rain. Looking up, the peak of the gorge has experienced wind and rain, strange rocks are like bamboo shoots, and holes are like doors. The winding gorge is like a long scroll of splashed ink, which condenses the momentum of the gorge, mountain springs and waterfalls, torrent waves, strange peaks and rocks, forming a huge landscape painting of the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon.
Came to the viewing platform, which is the elevator. A transparent glass viewing platform was built on the cliff, where you can step on the transparent glass plate and look down at the cliff that is split like a knife and axe, and challenge your courage.
This is the elevator here, 30 yuan for a single trip. Up and down 50 yuan. The elevator is built vertically against the mountain. The "City of the Sky" is a transparent viewing platform with a total investment of 30 million yuan. The suspended transparent viewing platform is decorated with transparent glass around and on the ground floor. When taking the elevator, it feels fast and stable. During the operation, you can see the scenery of the canyon, and a magnificent scene suddenly opens up before you. I admire the perfect combination of natural beauty and man-made wonders. The 208-meter Baizhangya Elevator, which has won 3 Guinness World Records, climbs to the top in 52 seconds with one button.
This is the battery ticket in the scenic area, 10 yuan for a single trip.
Carrying the sun, all the way up the mountain. The figure-eight-shaped gate echoes the mountains on both sides of Baquan Gorge behind it. The space-time tunnel leading to the reservoir dam wharf, outside the tunnel, the sky is high and the land is wide, showing modern prosperity; inside the tunnel, it is quiet and elegant, with simplicity and primitiveness inside.
After the on-the-spot investigation, the national geological experts were surprised to praise: Baquan Gorge is the central area of Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon Geopark, and the exposed gneiss is really a great miracle in China.

[Take a boat to see a line of sky] We drove along the canyon and came to the lake of "Gaoxia Chuping Lake". There is a clear water more than 60 meters deep, rippling, sparkling, green as ink, two The side cliffs are tall and steep, and the skyline is twisted and curved, reflected in the water, quiet and elegant. This is the boat wharf, 60 yuan for a one-way cruise.
The boat shuttles among the cliffs, and the towering cliffs on both sides go straight into the sky. Looking up at the blue sky, white clouds and a line of sky, the front is curved and stretched, and the peaks and turns are like a magnificent picture scroll slowly opening~. It gives people the leisurely poetry of light boats, and the value-for-money feeling of high sky and vast ocean. There is no need to deliberately carve, there is a feeling of beauty, relaxation and happiness, and you can enjoy peace and comfort.
In 2020, an epidemic disrupted the rhythm of the world and affected our lives. There is pain and emotion. After experiencing wind and rain, we will finally meet the clear sky. In a blink of an eye, summer is coming. In this extraordinary year, how will you spend your leisure time?
Beitianmen is a natural threshold. It is named "Beitianmen" because it is shaped like a huge gate, stands on a peak, and faces Nantianmen from north to south. It is a local karst cave left by the ancient karst cave due to structural uplift, exposed to the surface, suffered weathering and denudation. The north and south are transparent, and it is natural, which is no different from human buildings, forming a natural wonder. Just like some love, it doesn't have to arrive, it's just to add joy to a peaceful life.
Board the cruise ship and sail slowly on the river, "the picture scroll unfolds slowly along the scroll", standing on the bow of the ship, covered with coolness, gazing at the vortex of light swirling under the feet, and the mountains, rocks and birds on both sides of the river come one after another. The reflections in the distance and the waves in the vicinity are integrated into an ink-splashed landscape painting.
The tour of Baquanxia in the net red scenic spot is completed. Although I am a senior citizen over 70 years old, tickets are free. But the 7788 battery cars, elevators, cable cars, and cruise ships in the scenic area add up to more than 100. This is still free of charge, if ordinary people, huh, huh, without 300 yuan, don't want to play scenic spots.
