    [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

    🌿 Guanyintang: The secret language of 500 gods and Buddhas stepped into the Guanyin Hall of less than 40 square meters, and instantly fell into the suspended universe of the Ming Dynasty more than 500 colored plastic poured down from Liang Yu, and the three gods of Confucianism and Taoism danced between the golden clouds. Sakyamuni, Laozi, Confucius three saints sit together on the main beam, the folds of the clothes are hidden in the fingerprints of the craftsmen 400 years ago; the left wall of the jade emperor must overlook, the right wall of the hole door 72 sage hanging in the eye, and the 2 cm high flying goddess sleeves skimmed the dome, gold powder floated like stardust in the light. "The most beautiful sleeping Luohan in the Ming Dynasty" in the oblique light of the window, the corner of the lips slightly raised like a dream thousand years of bonfire; the battle over the Buddha Sun Wukong tightened the golden stick on the beam, and the battle in "Black Myth" was separated from the air. Fingers brushed the mineral-painted mottled zircon blue-dyed zircon, the lip color of cinnamon dots, the ribbon of peacock green hooks, and the four hundred years of unfading color silently burned in the dim. Around the hall, the lychees of the millennium cypress pierced the clear sky, and the leaves shredded gold sprinkled on the glass lizard kiss of the Ming Wan calendar year. Closed eyes and ears in the ancient wood, the wind sound like the sound of craftsmen chiselling wood, the sound of monks chanting, the sound of pilgrims amazing the layers of overlapping - the original suspension not only with mud tires fixed history, but also with the hustle and bustle of God Buddha, reserved for all beings to listen to the eternal cracks. "When the three teachers sat together with a beam, when the 2 cm flying goddess woman vibrating sleeves want to moth the square inch of the Guanyin Hall, there is a wider civilized dialogue than the universe." 📜 Photographer Light and Shadow Magic: Sunlight through the window at 15:00 in the afternoon, shooting the Luo Han clothes folds and flowing gold and Sun Wukong gold reflective; Silent etiquette: Disable flashlight, can be used cold light flashlight to look at the mineral pigment veins; time and space imprint: light touch the remnant stone of the Tang Dynasty outside the hall before leaving the scene, the incense temperature of thousands of years ago still exists.
