3. Qikou Ancient Town Attractions:?
Qikou: An ancient town by the Yellow River that was once a very busy wharf and commercial port. As the sun sets, only the ancient shops in the old streets tell the story of the rise and fall of Shanxi merchants and their wealth. Unlike the Ming and Qing dynasty streets that were rebuilt and imitated all over the country, Qikou retains its original and ancient style. Here, the bluestones of Wuli Old Street are exposed, and shops are lined up in rows; on the other side, there are ten alleys along the mountain, with inns and horse-riding courtyards stacked one on top of the other. ?
Heilong Temple: The Black Dragon Temple is located in the dragon vein of Wohu Mountain. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that when there was a flood, trees and plants floated on the river, and the villagers gathered to build the temple. The Dragon King is worshiped in the main body, and Feng Bo and He Bo are worshiped on the left and right. It has become a rare sight in the world: you can pray to three gods in one temple for wind and rain, and when you climb up, you can overlook the three sceneries of Zhenqi Beach. ?
Standing on the Bell and Drum Towers, you can overlook the intersection of fish and dragons in the Yellow River. You can have a panoramic view of Qilin Beach with the setting sun, Datong Qi with fast waves and dangerous rocks, and the bustling Qikou Town on land and water. Two mottled stone carvings are inlaid on the mountain gate: the small city of Wufu and the prosperity of the people, the sound of the river and the beauty of the mountains are a great article! ?
Li Jia Shan: Wu Guanzhong, a famous painter who combined Chinese and Western art, regarded Li Jia Shan as one of the three major discoveries in his life. "This place looks like a desolate Han Dynasty tomb from the outside. Once inside, it is a very ancient and elegant cave dwelling. It is difficult to find a village like this all over the world!" Siheyuan in Western Shanxi style can be seen everywhere. ?
Xiwan Village: Xiwan Village is adjacent to Shishan Mountain in the north, Qiu River in the east, with the wind behind it and facing the sun. It has excellent Feng Shui. It was originally the ancestral home of the wealthy Chen family. The guardhouse, the servants' courtyard, the meeting hall, the master's house, and the lady's showy building, from bottom to top. The meticulousness of the door carvings is revealed in the loess, and the vicissitudes of life cannot cover up the splendor of the cornices. But times have changed, and now it is divided into more than 30 ordinary residences by five bluestone lanes. ?
Fengjiahui Earth Forest: a unique geological wonder! The earth pillars stand upright, the bedrock is exposed, and the weather has turned into a rock sitting on the bottom, and the loess hat is the wonder of the earth forest. Since there is no protection in the area, I'm afraid it won't last long! ?
Suodagan: Take a boat into the Yellow River and see the Yellow River turning sharply here. On the cliffs, there are miles of "relief galleries" "carved" by rapids and wind and sand. ?
