Ladies and gentlemen, today we are going to visit Yuntai Mountain, a famousmountain and holy water in northern China.
Yuntai Mountain belongs to Taihang mountain system and is a famous mountainin Northern Henan. Because of the precipitous mountain, the main peak isisolated, dense and beautiful. It looks like a huge pot and covers the peaks.The mountains are surrounded by clouds all the year round, so it is named Yuntaimountain.
Yuntai Mountain is located in Xiuwu County, 30 kilometers northeast ofJiaozuo City, Henan Province. It is adjacent to Shanxi Province in the north,Hui County and city in the East, Fangshan in the west, and an endless lonelyplain in the south. There are thirty-six big and small famous peaks, withemerald peaks, magnificent and dangerous. Zhuyu peak, the main peak, has a denseforest, which is a National Forest Park and can be called "garden in garden".The total planning area of the scenic spot is about 55 square kilometers. It isdivided into three systems: first, Fengyue scenic spot: Zhuyu peak, sanxiu peak,Diecai cave and nongxiu valley; second, Gougu scenic spot: wenpanyu, Zifanglake, xiaozhaigou, laotan Valley and Wuzhou village; third, religious scenicspot: Zhenqing palace, Wanshan temple, Xuandi temple and Baijiayan.

Liu Xie, Emperor Xianof the Han Dynasty, the Seven Sages of the bamboo grove of the Wei and JinDynasties, Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of theTang Dynasty, and his general Wei chijing all left historical relics here.
Yuntai Mountain has beautiful scenery and cool climate. There are abundantsprings and dense vegetation. The original secondary forest covers the wholemountain. There are more than 400 kinds of trees and plants. Besides ginseng andGanoderma lucidum, there are more than 200 kinds of traditional Chinesemedicine, such as the four well-known huaiyue, Cornus officinalis and Angelicasinensis. In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao used to collect herbs and practicealchemy. Up to now, there are still stories about him taking Alchemy to heavenin this mountainous area. In the ticket office of Yuntai Mountain scenic spot,there is a village named "Shore", which is backed by a natural barrier. Themountain is abrupt and rises from the surface. The mountain is called "Cuipingpeak", and the peak has "yanwangbi". You see, the king of hell looks up to thesky. The part above his nose is black, and the part below his nose is white. Thelocal people say that the king of hell has a clear distinction between black andwhite, distinguishing right from wrong, cutting off the Yang in the day andjudging the Yin in the night. He is the local master and has supreme power.
At the foot of Yan Wangbi mountain, there is a Buddhist temple, namelyWanshan temple. Crossing the mountain gate is Maitreya hall. Sakyamuni isworshipped in the main hall. This statue is a golden Buddha donated by Thailand.Look at the "(" Yin Wan ") in the chest of the Buddha statue, which means thesun shining or burning fire. Later, it was used as a symbol of Buddhistauspiciousness to express auspiciousness. At the back door of the temple, thereis a stream flowing into the clear pool from a high place. It is high-qualitymineral water. The temple beside the spring is the God of wealth. Although hecan not be listed in the Buddhist temple, the people who come to burn incense donot forget to burn incense to make money.
(wenpanyu and Zifang Lake scenic spots)
Along the road, after the Yingbin cave, the valley on the left split into agap. This is wenpanyu scenic spot. The valley is more than 80 meters deep, andthe widest part is less than Zhang. Surrounded by mountains, the narrow and deepair in the valley can not communicate well with the outside air, thus formingits own unique microclimate. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and thetemperature is moderate. It seems to be in constant warmth, so it is calledwenpanyu. The waterfall at the south end of the valley is called "White DragonWaterfall". It is said that white dragon lives here.
Walking through the tunnel dug between the mountain walls, we enterwenpanyu scenic spot. The first thing to see is "a glimmer of sky.". It'samazing that the mountains meet each other, leaving only a line of heaven andearth.
The scenic area is beautiful, secluded, majestic and dangerous, withsprings, waterfalls, streams and pools in one valley. It has always enjoyed thereputation of "bonsai Canyon". The well-known mountains and rivers areextraordinary as if done by the spirits of the mountains and the mountains. Thevalley is about 1 kilometers long and 3-10 meters wide. The cliffs and hills arebeautiful, and it is like a giant bonsai carved into a great landscape. It isalso like the essence of the famous mountains and rivers. The garden expertscall it "the natural landscape gallery". There are Xiaoyao stone, Xiang Wenshi,Ling Gui water, double lion water absorption, turtle turtle stone and otherlandscapes in the scenic spot.
There is Jiulong pool in the valley, which is said to be the habitat ofJiulong in ancient times, including Bailong pool, Zilong pool, mianlong pool,Qinglong pool, Huanglong pool, Wolong pool, Heilong pool, Shoulong pool, etc.Walking to Heilongtan, a waterfall gushes out from the mountain wall, like apile of snow floating poplar, which is very spectacular. Dynamic flow intostatic water, very beautiful.
After the founding of the people's Republic of China at the beginning ofthe Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang helped Liu Bang to establish the Han industry. Hewas so successful that he was afraid of being poisoned by Liu. He begged againand again to return home. After returning to his hometown, Zhang Liang was stillrestless and felt that he was not safe. He secretly took a nap and lived inseclusion in Taishan. Because of Zhang liangzifang, the village here is calledZifang village, and its source is Zifang lake. The present scenic spot is builton the original lake, with a surface area of more than 300 mu, a length of about8 Li, and a maximum width of 300 meters. The water depth is ladder shaped,shallow in the north and deep in the south. The depth is about 100 meters, andthe water capacity is 100 million cubic meters. It is a medium-sizedreservoir.
Along the lake, we can see that there is "Dharma peak" in the mountainsopposite. It is said that Dharma, an Indian monk, came to China to preach andarrived at Shaolin Temple. After 10 years of facing the wall, many thoughtsstill poured into his mind. So he went out of the temple to find a wonderfulquiet place to practice. Later, I went to Taishan and sat down on the mountainson the West Bank of Zifang lake. It is a rare place for people to visit. Dharmais high on the top of the mountain, accompanied by clouds and haze. The mountainspirit is purified and settled down like a mountain. It will soon turn into animmortal, leaving behind "Dharma peak" and "Buddha niche peak" in thedistance.
On the West Bank of Zifang lake, we can see a ditch named huangjiangou,which has a pleasant scenery. The most amazing place is the peaks stretching outfrom the ditch, which are connected to form Buddha's palm, so it is calledBuddha's palm peak. There is "heaven" on the Buddha palm peak, which is anatural small village with only one family. In ancient times, with heavy taxesand levies, some people hid on the Buddha's palm peak, reclaimed good land,planted fruit trees everywhere, and lived a self-sufficient life of smallfarmers. Avoiding the government's request, carefree, happy like an immortal, sogive their home the name of "heaven".
If you go further, you can see that at the end of Zifang lake, there aretwo small villages around Zifang lake. This is Zifang village, which is theoffspring of Zhang Liang's later generations. At the end of Sui Dynasty and thebeginning of Tang Dynasty, Liu Wuzhou and Li Shimin successively settled grainand weapons here, so they were later called "Dongcang" and "Xicang".
(laotangou and xiaozhaigou scenic spots)
Laotangou scenic area is characterized by beautiful mountains and waters,high peaks and steep waterfalls, and upstream along the waterway. The mountainis high and straight, and the current is swift and deep.
After crossing the low mountain, there are two forks in front of us. One isa stone ladder with steps. After climbing, we can walk along Shiban Road on thehillside. On both sides of the road, the trees can cover the sky. These treesgrow in the stone crevices, and most of them are hundreds of years old. Theother is a water road. The rubber boat goes through the "secluded pool" andclimbs up the "Xiandu". You can see that there is a Xiwu, which is isolated fromthe world, and there is a path leading to the "heaven" "Waterfall".
"Tianpu" is the most beautiful scenery in Yuntai Mountain and China. Thefall of this waterfall is 310 meters, and the width of the waterfall is about5-7 meters. Kaohsiung, the highest waterfall in the world, is "flying down 3000feet.". The waterfall is like thunder. We've heard about it for a long timealong the way. It's so powerful that we can't see its face and hear itssound.
On the mountain opposite the waterfall, there is a "waterfall viewingplatform", which is the best viewing point for water scenery. There is a groupof mountain waterfalls beside the waterfall platform. The moss on the waterfallis like a peacock falling on the wall, which is called "peacock spring"
In addition, there are "private spring", "wave stone flat", "Duxiu Peak","Shuangxiu peak", "Lugong" and other scenic spots. Along the way to the top ofthe mountain is the boundary between Henan and Shanxi provinces.
Not far from laotangou, there is a stone bridge across the valley, which isthe channel leading to the Fengyun scenic spot of xiaozhaigou.
Stepping on the steps, there is a tablet on the side of the road, whichreads "xiaozhaigou". Standing here and looking for the opposite peaks, you cansee that among the mountains, there is an ancient official, wearing a black hat,sitting happily on the mountain. This is the legendary Tang Gongshi of the localpeople. It is said that during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, TangDynasty passed the Gaoming examination and gained a great reputation. However,he was excluded. His official career was bumpy and he suffered hardships. On theway to being demoted, he toured the mountains and waters here to relieve hisdepression and felt more sinister in officialdom. Since then, the idea ofofficial career has been eliminated, and the mountain peak has been left forlater generations to commemorate.
"Xiaozhaigou" used to be called "xiaotanggou". Later, Li Shimin, the kingof Tang Dynasty, lost Liu Wuzhou here. This is tangzhaigou in suiying, so it'scalled xiaozhaigou. The colorful springs, waterfalls and streams in the ditchare fascinating, so they are also called "tanpu River". The first pool appearedin front of us, which is called "dragon snake pool". Xiaozhaigou is located inthe deep mountains and old forests. It is inaccessible, watery and humid, andthere are often snakes and mangas in and out. It is said that a man went intothe mountain to cut firewood and saw a python drinking water here. The snake wasa dragon, so it got its name.
After the dragon and snake pool, there are two roads leading to the scenicspot, up and down, or landscape. The waterway is for tourists to visit, and themountain road is the way back. Not far from the waterway, you can see a group ofwaterfalls falling from the high rock, which is called "jiudiewaterfall". Thewaterfall is divided into three layers, and each fault has two waterfalls thatabsorb and melt into a pool, just like a lover, so it is called "loverwaterfall".
After passing the slimming stone, it is the "Golden Dragon Wobo". Then itgoes up. Suddenly, there is an open area in front of you. The waterfall is morethan ten meters high and five or six meters deep. The ground is open andisolated. But surrounded by green mountains, a huge stone seems to fall from thesky. It is here for tourists to rest, enjoy the cool, have a picnic and takephotos.
The water is shallow and clear, and the color is gorgeous. The moss makesthe water green and dust-free. No matter whether there is wind or not, theripples in the pool are light, so it is named. There are fish in the pool, butthe fish are transparent. There is only a waterfall hanging on the cliff at the"water curtain cave". It is scattered and poured down like a curtain. The waterflows all the year round,. There is a "lion head" beside it. Its shape is aslifelike as a living lion, so it is named.
In front of the lion's head stone, the whole cliff has been eroded into abell like shape by water. There are two streams of water spewing out from theground. This is the "spring of youth". In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there wasWang lie, a man who did not eat fireworks among people, thirsty for this spring,hungry for Huangjing. He lived to 338 years old and was still walking fast. Youmight as well try it.
As we enter the end of xiaozhaigou, we can see some strange stones, such asthe "sword test stone of the Tang Dynasty" and the commanding platform, where LiShimin ordered his troops. Standing on the "dianjiangtai", the cliff istowering, and people are sitting at the bottom of the well, so it is called"sitting at the bottom of the well to see the sky"; the moss on the county cliffis hanging high on the cliff, like a peacock hanging high on the shelf, and awater curtain is hanging under the bird's tail, which is called "Phoenix Tailstring beads". In addition, there are "turtle spitting beads", "cloud dragonsowing rain", "Tang King drinking horse pool", "stone boat" and "butterflystone".
(diecaidong and zhuyufeng scenic spots)
There are two forks beside Zifang lake. The lower road leads to xiaozhaigouscenic spot and laotangou scenic spot, and the upper road leads to Xiulinghighway in Shanxi Province. Diecaidong scenic spot and Zhufeng scenic spot arehere. Diecai cave is a highway tunnel connecting Henan Province and ShanxiProvince. There are 23 caves in size, with a total length of more than 4000meters. It was designed and planned by Zhang Youchen, a local expert in ourcounty. Outside, I saw a huge row of stairs, and inside the cave, there were 180degree turns and 45 degree climbs. This is the famous "dark eighteen plates" inthe scenic area. The industrious and kind-hearted people built this road in 12years.
Along the road from bottom to top, climbing through the hole, looking up atthe top of the mountain, I saw a mountain, cliffs, as high as ten thousand Ren.Along the way, there are different shapes of mountain peaks. Here you can findvarious scenic spots, such as "little elephant climbing", "double humps" and"dream of writing flowers"
Out of No. 12 cave, a strange peak and stone stand high on the oppositemountain. With the change of vision, this stone can gradually become a moderngirl from lingzhi and Dai girls. Therefore, it is located in the stone show, thewater show and the flower show, so it is called "sanxiufeng".
When you drive for a moment, you will suddenly see a vast expanse of space.This scenic spot is called "Xiying Temple". Visitors will feel relaxed and happywhen they come here.
The lake below is Zifang lake, which we passed by. An hour's journey hasraised the height of five or six hundred meters. In the southeast of Zifang lakeis the scene of wenpanrou district. It is said that in ancient times, there werenine dragons living in wenpanyu. The white dragon in the south of the Valley andthe black dragon in the north of the valley often came to the "xiyingguan" toenjoy tea and play chess.
Before getting on the bus, you will enter the tourist area of Zhuyupeak
The car winds up and enters a dense forest area. The whole mountain iscovered with large pines, cypresses and maple trees. It is a primitive secondaryforest area and has been approved as a "National Forest Park" by the Ministry offorestry of the people's Republic of China
Zhuyu peak is the main peak of Yuntai Mountain, with an altitude of morethan 1300 meters. Later, Emperor Zhenwu became an immortal through hispainstaking practice here. This place became a famous Taoist holy land. Peoplefrom all over the world often come here to burn incense and pray. It is saidthat it is very effective. Gradually, people affectionately call this place"xiaobeiding", that is to say, it is very close to the north gate of heaven, andis often concerned by the gods. They will satisfy people's prayers, so that theycan make people come here to burn incense. So there is the saying of "burn GaoBong". If one's descendants have developed or become rich, it must be the oldpeople who burned Gao Xiang here in their early years.
