    [View] 🌄 Review: Taihang Grand Canyon | Hidden in the "secret landscape" of the north, a glance at the heart of thousands of years If you think that there are only loess plateaus and vast mountains in the north, you must come to Henan Linzhou Taihang Grand Canyon once, but there are thousands of walls, streams, clouds and mists; It is not like Zhangjiajie's precipitousness, but it has a strong spirit. Before, my expectations for it were "climbing mountains + watching the scenery": It was a spiritual escape about "human and mountain dialogue". ✅ Highlight experience:. Peach Blossom Valley: The rare "River Valley tenderness" water in the north is alive! The springs flowing all year round through the stone seams, crystal clear, the sun shining down, like broken silver dancing. - Walk along the plank road, one side is a cliff, the other is a stream, the ears are full of water and birdsong, as if into the hidden valley in the martial arts film. Especially recommended to go after the rain, the waterfalls are in groups, the fog is rising, and the fairy is full. 2. Wang Xiangyan: The "Taihang Tianladder" Taihang Soul" is well-deserved! More than 1600 steps are built on the mountain, there are hanging ladders that go straight to the clouds, and there are also wooden plank roads embedded in the cliffs. - On the way, you will pass the allusion site mentioned by Shang Wang Wuding and Xianxiang Fu. The sense of history + natural feeling is blended. The cultural party is also satisfied. Overlooking the canyon at the top, the shock of the "high mountain man-made peak" really makes people stop and breathe deeply. Taihang Tianlu: The visual feast of the self-driving/sightseeing car is like a dragon, and the car is on its side, with a sharp red cliff on both sides. It is recommended to take a scenic sightseeing car (must sit!), the driver master can fly, the curved overtaking feels comparable to a small roller coaster, exciting and safe. There are multiple observation decks along the way, and a shot is the wallpaper-level scenery. ⚠️ Avoid the pit reminder: don't wear small white shoes! The plank road is slippery, and there is a lot of mud after the rain, and it is easy to become "mud legs". ❌ Don't drive into the core scenic spot by yourself. After parking outside, you must change to a sightseeing car. The mountain road is steep and not suitable for novice. It is recommended to stay for one night: live in Shiyan Town or scenic B&B. There are few people in the morning, and the sea of clouds is suffocated when the sea of clouds is surging. ✅ With a coat: the temperature difference in the mountains is large, especially in the evening, the wind blows directly into autumn. 📸 Photo Tips: Peach Blossom Valley: Photo stream + fallen leaves at a low angle, and pat the silk water flow with a slow door; Wang Xiangyan: Back to shoot in the middle section of the "Skyscraper Ladder", the contrast between people and mountains is very strong; Taihang Tianlu: The observation deck compresses the mountain level with a long focal point to capture the momentum of "thousand mountains and mountains". ️ Deeper feeling: On this earth, you will suddenly understand: the mountain is not a silent stone, it has character. Shu, hard, thousands of years of speechless, a crack raised the blue water, with a cliff to lift the sea of clouds. Holding life, the heart is soft. Here, you don't have to hurry, walk slowly, listen to the wind, look at the clouds, let the heart land. 🌟 Total Review: 9.2/10 Suitable for crowds: Family outings / Couples hiking / Photography enthusiasts / People who want to escape the city Index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Summary: The ultimate of the northern landscape, not in the Great Wall, but in every inch of the Taihang Grand Canyon

    Going to Yinxu for a walk, it feels like stepping into the time more than 3,000 years ago. The bones of the turtle armor engraved with Oracle lie quietly in the exhibition cabinet, obviously just cracks and symbols, but it seems that you can hear the whispers of the ancients when divination. Simu Xuding is really shocking, standing in front of it to really understand what is called "thickness", the pattern on the bronzeware can be seen in a person, imagine the craftsman hammered and chisel. The ruins in the park are also very special, although just some traces of clay and neatly arranged pillar holes, but with the description of the interpreter, the brain can slowly piece together the palace and temple appearance of that year. Walking on the dirt road of Yinxu, the wind blows, always feel that you can smell a little history, mixed with the smell of soil and years. There are not few tourists, but walking between those sites, you can still feel a quiet force. Maybe it is because there are too many stories hidden here, every word on the Oracle, every tattoo on the bronze, is the password left by the ancients, waiting for future generations to read slowly. When I left, I looked back and saw that Yin Ruins under the sunset were like a silent old man, hiding the wind and rain in my heart for three thousand years.

    Only when you come to the Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall and learn about the history of the construction of the Red Flag Canal, you will know how grand this project is, how difficult it is, and how great the people involved in its construction are.

    This monumental site, with new facilities and access to the original tomb passage, is well worth the visit. The Cao Cao Gaoling Ruins Museum is a shining pearl of Three Kingdoms culture. Its majestic architecture and rich, diverse exhibits, including over 2,400 artifacts, tell the story of history, and engaging multimedia interactives, allow visitors to experience Cao Cao's vision and strategy while also promoting the inheritance and development of Three Kingdoms culture. It's a must-see for history buffs.

    It is worth seeing. There are many knowledge points, not only to clearly present the development process of Chinese characters, but also to have a lot of interactive small games. The collection is rich and the evidence is full. The exhibition design has ideas, which is worthwhile.

    It would be more interesting with an explanation. The Bagua formation is a unique feature; it's simple in some ways, but complex in others, requiring a long time to navigate. It's certainly entertaining. There are so many magpies, they're all over the roof beams!

    The old museum is better than the new one. You have to pay to enter the new one, and there is nothing to see inside. Just go to the old museum and buy a Yue Fei story to tell your children. There is no need to hire a tour guide, as it makes you dizzy.

    The left side of Tianning Temple in Anyang is the Pagoda District, and the right side is the Buddha Temple District. The main temple is the Shanmen Temple, the Temple of Heavenly Kings and the Temple of Daxiong. The Temple of Heavenly Kings is the ticket office, and the two generals are offered on both sides. The Temple of Heavenly Kings is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha, behind which is the Wei Bodhisattva. The Temple of Heavenly Kings is dedicated to the Third Buddha.

    On the weekend, our family went to the Red Banner Canal to visit. When entering the scenic spot, the first thing that came into view was the Red Banner Canal Memorial Hall, which displayed a large number of precious photos, models and cultural relics, which vividly showed the hard journey of the people of Linxian County to build the Red Banner Canal. From these exhibits, I seem to see people chiseling stones on the cliffs and opening canals, and feel their spirit of hard work and tenacious struggle. Then we came to the Youth Cave, which is the throat project of the Red Banner Canal. The hole is 616 meters long, all of which are extremely difficult blasting projects. Standing in front of the youth cave, looking at the towering peaks and deep hole openings, I can't help but admire. In that year, 300 young people formed a commando team, under extremely difficult conditions, after a year and five months, finally chiselled Taihang Mountain through. They wrote a magnificent song of praise with youth and sweat. In Hongqi Canal, I deeply experienced the spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, solidarity and cooperation, selfless dedication". This is an unforgettable journey of the soul, so that I can cherish today's happy life.
