Henan low-profile small city, often mistaken for belonging to Shandong, but has a direct Beijing forest trail

Jiyuan is probably the most low-profile city in Henan, so many people often Jiyuan and Shandong Jinan confused together, a word difference between the two cities are indeed and Jishui related to the history of Jishui once originated in Henan, through Shandong into the Bohai Sea, and then due to the Yellow River diversion, Jishui channel was occupied by the Yellow River and disappeared, Jiyuan's name is taken from the source of the "Jishui! ", downstream Shandong Jinan, Jining, Jiyang, are also due to the Jishui name, can be said to be a mother river born brother.

Depending on the mountains and water, and Luoyang across the Yellow River, over the mountains is Shanxi, Jiyuan's geographic location has been very important since ancient times, in addition to the magnificent natural landscape, the successive dynasties have also left a rich historical and human heritage. In addition to the magnificent natural scenery, Jiyuan has also left behind a rich historical and cultural heritage through the ages. One of the most famous stories of Jiyuan is "Yugong Yishan", which is the most beautiful business card of Jiyuan. The story of "Yugong removing the mountain" is from "Lie Zi - Tang Wen" by the thinker Lie Zi in the Warring States period, which begins with the words "Taihang and Wangwu mountains are seven hundred li in size and ten thousand ren in height ......".

These are the first time I've ever seen a movie in my life, and I've never seen a movie in my life.

Because he felt that the mountains in front of his house hindered transportation and affected the water, nearly 90-year-old Yugong began to lead his children and grandchildren to open up the mountains and break the ground, and finally touched the heavens, opened up the road out of the mountains, and from then on, no longer isolated from the world. After thousands of years of interpretation and modification of the story of Yugong Yishan, although the content may have some changes, but its perseverance and never give up the spirit and connotation has been inherited and developed.

Nowadays, in Jiyuan, Yugong is not only the spokesman of the city, but also integrated into every aspect of the life of the local people, in Jiyuan you can see Yugong Building, Yugong Highway, Yugong Bridge, Yugong statue. Many places and businesses are named after Yugong, and anyone who stops by on the street can tell you the story of Yugong for half a day. Now the Taihang Mountains, Wangwu Mountain still towering, but with the rapid progress of human transformation of natural ability, the mountains have long been not a barrier to transportation, but to become a healthy and leisure life of the people in the valuable natural wealth, "green water is the gold mountain".

In the observation deck looking down, through the road winding in the mountains in the intertwined, let a person daunted.

Shuihongchi village is surrounded by mountains, peaks, only here is a piece of flat land, there is a pond in the village, it is said that during the rainy season will be full of rainwater, but also the old villagers drinking water source, so the name of Shuihongchi.

Most of the remaining old houses in the village are made of yellow-brown stone castings, plus a few three-hundred-year-old oak trees at the entrance of the village, which are rustic and rustic, with a full sense of age. The village was once an anti-Japanese revolutionary base, and there are still some old people living in the village, while most of the young people have gone to the big city to seek development.

In recent years, new, wider roads have opened and old tunnels have been converted into hiking trails, bringing new development opportunities to Shuihongchi. The thing is, the years have changed, a lot of things will change, the old Wangwu Mountain is still lofty and magnificent, the spirit of Yugong Yishan will be inherited from one generation to the next.

In addition to the natural history of Wangwu Mountain and Yugong and other relics, this route can also find some suitable for modern people to relax and vacation place.

The years have changed, the bombardment of the year has been scattered with the wind, the arsenal also ended the historical mission, was converted into a space for leisure and nostalgia.
