Introduction to the landscape of Zhangshiyan landform

Zhangshiyan Scenic Area in Taihang Mountain Area, Zanhuang County, Hebei Province is located in the west wing of Zanhuang anticline uplift in regional geological structure. The landform is Zhongshan landform with high mountains and deep valleys, and the landform decreases from southwest to northeast. The highest peak in Huang An is1774m above sea level. Huaiquan, the birthplace of Huaihe River, is rich in various minerals. The eastern slope of the main ridge of the mountains on the west side of Huaihe River is a typical section of "craggy rock landform", forming a three-level cliff extending continuously in the north-south direction, with a height of 500-700 meters, forming a landscape pattern of "three stacks pulling nine platforms, four screens hiding eight views" in the garden, with "Dan cliff long wall, penetrating the sky; Red and green mosaic; " Ω "shaped valley, a series of complete sets; Echo the curved wall and be ingenious; Angular stone peaks; Vertical rock cracks are shaped like knives.

The landscape of Zhangshiyan is mainly "Ya Dan, Biling, Qifeng and Yougu". The majestic rocks are stacked three times, and the beautiful Jiunv Peak is breathtaking; A series of natural attractions, such as Yixiantian, Sanxiuxia, Huaiquan Valley, Ruquan Cave and Datian Ladder, are fascinating. At the same time, the natural ecology of the craggy rock is good, and the foothills and the top of the pile are covered by trees, shrubs, vines and grass. There are 654 species of plants belonging to 98 families, which is the "natural botanical garden" with the best protection and the most complete variety in North China. In spring, peach blossoms, azaleas, cloves, roses, Shandan, and Spiraea are all over the mountains and are in full bloom. In midsummer, lush, full of flowing springs and waterfalls, the sea of clouds and Buddha's light are strange and magnificent; In the autumn season, the layers of forests are dyed and colorful, and they are in full swing; In the new winter, rime trees hang, jade branches hang and icicles rise to the sky.

Zhang Shiyan has abundant rainfall and pleasant climate. The annual precipitation is 747 mm, the average temperature is 1 1.5℃, and the average temperature in the hottest month is 22. 1℃.

There are rich man-made landscapes in the area, which can be divided into historical and cultural landscapes (such as Huaiquan Temple, Yuantong Temple, Huang Yu Temple and other ancient temples; Walking through the ancient post road connecting Hebei and Jin in the mountains; Stone carvings of Guisi Monument, Thousand Buddha Monument, and Cliff Cliff; Ancient military projects such as the ancient military barracks in the late Ming Dynasty and the ancient Great Wall in the Northern Wei Dynasty); Folk cultural landscape (such as Zhangshiyan folk houses and local folk cultural phenomena, etc.). ); Modern cultural landscape (modern architecture, tourist facilities, etc.). ).

In the big family of rock landforms, there are many brothers with similar shapes, such as Danxia landform and Zhangjiajie landform. At first glance, they are all strange peaks and rocks, which are easy to be confused and confusing. However, after expert research and analysis, there are essential differences between them in origin and form. In order to distinguish them accurately, scientists put forward a brand-new concept of craggy rock landform.
