The complex terrain of Linzhou Taihang Grand Canyon is filled with many unpredictable landforms, making it perfect for exploring and hiking. Experience the beautiful natural charms of this place, which is a mecca for young people on a driving tour. Here's a detailed travel guide for you.

The Wei Taihang, which stretches for more than 800 miles from Beijing's West Mountain in the north to Hebei in the south, to Wuwang Mountain on the border of Henan and Shanxi. The Taihang Mountains are majestic and steep, with beautiful mountains and numerous canyons, creating magnificent landscapes wherever they go.

There are really too many Grand Canyons created by the 800 miles of Taihang Mountains, and each has its own unique characteristics. In terms of the 5A scenic spots created by the Taihang Mountains alone, as far as I know, from north to south there are generally Nosanpo, Baishi Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Linzhou Taihang Grand Canyon, Shanxi Taihang Grand Canyon, Henan Bailigou, Yuntai Mountain and so on. As for the 4A and below, the list goes on and on, with a variety of scenery.

Today, I would like to introduce to you the 5A grade Henan Linzhou Taihang Grand Canyon (Shanxi Taihang Grand Canyon was just upgraded to 5A in 1999).

Linzhou Taihang is located in the famous Shibanyan town in the canyon. Ten of the town's 17 administrative villages have been successfully selected for China's traditional village list. Selected in 2013 China's second batch of traditional villages Chaoyang Village, Louzitou Village; China's third batch of traditional villages: Caomiao Village, Li Yuanping Village, Nanwan Village; in June, successfully selected in the fifth batch of traditional villages in China: Xianmagou Village, Dongwan Village, Shibanyan Village, Xixiangping Village, and Gaojiatai Village.

The Taihang Grand Canyon Scenic Area mainly consists of three parts: Wangxiang Stone, Peach Blossom Valley and Taihang Sky Road. Tickets are 120 yuan and transportation fee is 60 yuan, valid for two days.

Wangxiang Stone Scenic Spot is strategically located with beautiful scenery and excellent feng shui. It is said that Fu Yue, the prime minister of Shang Dynasty, Zhao, the Taoist priest of Ming Dynasty, and Xu, the minister of military affairs of Qing Dynasty, have lived here.

Climbing the mountain is the main attraction of Wangxiang Stone. You usually enter the scenic area by taking the Swinging Soul Bridge on the left and then walk back along the valley on the right to form a loop.

Swinging Soul Bridge is a steel cable suspension bridge. This bridge is 50 meters long and 2 meters wide. The bridge is not high, but people wandering on it can swing their souls if they are timid, hence the name Wobbly Soul Bridge.

Out of the swinging soul bridge, followed by a steep climb. It's not high, but it's steep, and poor stamina is the place to duel. When you get to the cliff, you will find "zig-zag" shaped trestle. Comrades who are afraid of heights can really experience a thrilling feeling. There is a sightseeing rest platform on the trestle, so you can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of Taihang Grand Canyon from a high place.

After that, it will pass through a virgin forest. Here the vegetation is dense and the vines are connected. It is refreshing and comfortable to walk in in summer.

There is a big waterfall in front of it, which flows down from a high cliff and falls into the mist. Below the waterfall was a pool of crystal clear water. On a boulder next to it, a tall man wrote the word "Yang Zhi". It is more appropriate to use it here.

The left side of the waterfall next to the cliff, a high 88 meters of the sky tube ladder upright, circling up, straight to the top of the second floor of Zhandao. Standing under the ladder, it looks like you're entering the clouds. The first time I climbed it, when I got to the middle, I was so scared that my legs went weak and I was in a dilemma. In the end, I had to climb hard.

After ascending the tube ladder, it was a path through a gap in the cliff. Because the gap in the cliff is so low, people have to bend down to pass. Locally known as the "Kid Cliff", there is a high altitude sling in front of it, and you can reach the opposite side of the cliff by zip line from a few hundred meters high.

Surprisingly, there are two pavilions on the opposite side of the cliff, which are said to be places where Taoist priests study and practice. Except for its small size, it feels like a hanging temple.

Out of the trestle, if you still have the energy, you can continue up the steep and narrow steps that take you directly to the Taihang Mountain Highway. You can also stop by and ta

The Peach Blossom Valley is the key landscape of the Taihang Grand Canyon, famous for its water. Huanglong Beach in Longfei Canyon is turquoise, clear, colorful and picturesque. When you walk on the iron stairs embedded in the cliffs, you will feel as if you have merged into this magical paradise. All your worries and trivialities will be forgotten, you just need to experience and enjoy nature!

The Peach Blossom Valley is a narrow and deep canyon with "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" and "Nine Waterfalls" along the way. Along the way along the water, the scenery is very beautiful, play is not too tired. The Grand Canyon of Taihang is a must-see attraction.

Beach Blossom Valley, so called Peach Blossom Valley. It is said that the peach blossoms here bloom in September and the bitterly cold days of September. A poem says: "Peach blossoms bloom in the snow at the mouth of the cave, and waterfalls hang from the clouds at the head of the rock." Of course there is a legend circulating here, so I won't introduce it here. Interested friends can find out for themselves.

From Peach Blossom Valley to Peach Blossom Cave Village, there is another Peach Blossom Immortal Cave and a Peach Blossom Pond Waterfall, which is 346 meters high. If it's in flood season, it's quite spectacular. Looking up from here, there is a hanging footbridge right above the scenic spot, which is the Shanxi Tianji Mountain Scenic Spot. The Peach Blossom Pool waterfall is accessible by a path on the south side. I wondered if it was still open.

From the parking lot in Peach Blossom Cave Village, you can take a ride around the entire Taihang Mountain Highway. The Taihang Mountain Highway winds along the ridges of the Taihang Mountains for nearly 30 kilometers, offering scenic views of the mountains. Several attractions on the way are beautiful, and there's rumored to be a new glass bridge.

By the way, in the middle of the Taihang Mountain Road, there is another attraction called Taiji Ice Mountain. If you have time, I suggest you go up and walk around. I've been there in the early years and I feel it's worth seeing. If you go there, you will get different results.

The above is a general introduction to the whole scenic spot.

In fact, if you have enough time to go to the Taihang Grand Canyon in Linzhou, it is recommended that you spend some time there. You can't go to the scenic area. As mentioned before, the town of Shibanyan is located in the entire canyon and is a purely natural scenic spot with excellent scenery. In addition to the pristine natural scenery, there are more than 10 primitive villages scattered in all corners of the deep mountains. You can enjoy more than 10 traditional villages and the pristine mountains of the Taihang Mountains without paying the entrance fee. It can be said that any place is worth your time to savor. And with the well-developed transportation here, any village can be driven to without any problems.

In recent years, Shibanyan Township has become a paradise attracting tourists, artists and lovers of photography and painting with its unique dwellings and simple folk customs.

The buildings and traces of life here blend naturally and harmoniously into the landscape of the Taihang Grand Canyon. What are the characteristics of slate rock dwellings?
