Travel with simple books: Travel Notes on Guoliang Village in Wanxianshan, Henan

On October 2nd and 3rd, it was the National Day holiday. I had nothing to do at home. I had always longed for Wanxian Mountain, especially Guoliang Village. I temporarily decided to visit Wanxian Mountain and Guoliang Village.

At 5 o'clock in the morning on October 2, we set off from Tai'an and headed westward under the stars and the moon. The sun is out, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, the autumn air is crisp, and the weather is fine. It is a good time for travel and vacation. The expressway was relatively smooth, but there was a slight traffic jam when approaching the parking lot of the scenic spot. It was a rare occasion during the National Day holiday. After nearly 9 hours of driving, we arrived at Wanxian Mountain Scenic Area.

1. The quiet mountain village of Wanxian Mountain Scenic Area - Nanping Tour

According to the information, Wanxian Mountain is a famous tourism, summer resort, leisure resort and film and television and sketching base. It is located in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains in the northwest of Huixian City, Henan Province, 150 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City and 70 kilometers away from Xinxiang City, with a total area of ​​64 square kilometers and a maximum altitude of 1,672 meters. Here, there are beautiful peaks, mountains, ravines, waterfalls and springs. , it has both the majestic and vast stone wall landscape and the graceful and elegant mountain countryside charm, which is majestic, majestic, strange, secluded and steep.

Standing on the top of Wanxian Mountain, you can overlook the Yellow River, overlook the Muye, and have a panoramic view of the winding mountains. Wanxian Mountain gathers the essence of hundreds of miles of Taihang red rock cliffs. The red cliffs are about 100 meters high, like solid rock waterfalls and stone curtains. They twist, spiral, circuitous, and smoothly surround, separate, block, and cut out eight deep canyons. Waterfalls, caves, old trees, ancient villages, stone walls, stone streets, and stone houses make up each of the distinctive attractions.

Wanxian Mountain Scenic Area retains the original secondary forest and is still a natural forest, with a forest coverage rate of more than 95%. It is a natural oxygen bar.

The scenic spot consists of four sub-scenic areas: Guoliang, the Chinese Film and Television Village, Nanping, the Qingyou Mountain Township, Luojiezhai, the fairyland on earth, and Sanhu, the Buddhist holy land. It was designated as a "Provincial Scenic Area" in 1990, and was evaluated as a Provincial Geopark in 2003. In 2005, it was evaluated as a national geological park and a national AAAA tourist attraction.

This time we visited the two main scenic spots of the Chinese Film and Television Village - Guoliang and Qingyou Mountain Township - Nanping.

Get off at the Shayao parking lot and transfer to the scenic parking lot. When you arrive at the Nanping parking lot, get off the car with your tour guide and look around at the strange peaks, straight up and down, like a knife chopping an axe. Various shapes and changes. There are many strange peaks and strange rocks that resemble people and immortals, and all kinds of pictographic stones are well arranged and spectacular.

Arrange your accommodation and start visiting the Nanping Scenic Area of ​​Wanxian Mountain with the tour guide. Walking to the cliff in the north of Nanping Village, you can see an isolated stone peak 89 meters high, which looks like a warrior wearing a helmet, so it is named Jiangjun Peak. According to legend, the Jade Emperor summoned thousands of immortals to gather here and ordered them to guard it one day and turn it into Jiangjun Peak.

Continuing forward, I saw a sun, moon and star pattern on a huge rock, and marveled at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. The Sun Moon Star Stone is a light red sedimentary rock with a surface of about 2 square meters and a thickness of nearly 1 meter. It is located on the north side of the Nanping parking lot in the Wanxian Mountain Scenic Area. In 1995, villager Song Yunlin cut open a large stone and saw images of the sun, crescent moon, and stars clearly displayed on the stone surface. The villagers were amazed and Cui Dianliang asked the stone to be preserved for viewing as a rare stone. This stone is the treasure of Wanxian Mountain. Someone wrote a poem praising: There are three treasures in the sky: the sun, moon and stars; the three treasures on the earth are water, fire and wind; people have the essence of the three treasures, and the essence of the three treasures gathers in Nanping.

Pass through a stone gate, walk across a suspension bridge, and take a sightseeing tour along the stone road along Longtangou in the southwest of Nanping Village. The mountains are full of green, golden, and colorful, and it is like the beautiful autumn scenery of Jiangbei. , the canyon is full of boulders, with rich textures and clear water.

According to the tour guide, the good forest vegetation has conserved abundant water sources. Clear springs and gurgling creeks flowed out from the rock cracks, forming waterfalls and forming deep pools, such as the Black Dragon Pool. Waterfalls, Mojianfeng Waterfall, Bailongtan Waterfall, Xueshantan Waterfall, Tongtianhe Waterfall and Shouting Spring are like bundles of ice silk silver gauze hanging in the valley bottom peaks.

After nearly an hour of climbing, we arrived at the Black Dragon Pool Waterfall. Heilongtan Waterfall is located in Longtangou in the southwest of Nanping Village. The height of the waterfall is 64 meters. The entrance of the waterfall is more than 2 meters deep. It is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It looks like a bunch of hanging silver threads hanging down. The Heilongtan Waterfall is very beautiful and spectacular.

After admiring the Heilongtan Waterfall, continue climbing along the suspended plank road and arrive at another Shengjingdanfenggou. Looking up, there are three red characters of "Danfengou" written on the mountain. The fonts are strong and powerful, like dragons and snakes dancing wildly. I continued to climb along the elevated plank road built on the cliff with an iron fence. Walking on it, there is nothing under your feet, and your heart is filled with fear as you climb slowly and carefully step by step. Walking up the stone steps, passing through the cave door of about ten meters, you can breathe the fresh air freely. The scenery in the distance is as beautiful as the Hongshi Gorge of Yuntai Mountain, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they will never forget to leave.

As we continue to move forward, the scenery becomes more beautiful, and the mountain breeze blows, which is cool and refreshing. Autumn is really here. Standing on the top of the valley, looking through the canyon into the distance, you will see flowers, trees, streams, waterfalls, cliffs, and mountain climbers forming a harmonious and magnificent song between man and nature.

The sky has gradually darkened, the surrounding scenery has become blurry, and the lights of the shops in the villages in the distance have begun to light up. Many tourists are still enjoying themselves.

I descended from the top of the mountain and ended today's trip happily. Have a good rest and head to Guoliang Village tomorrow.

2. China Film and Television Village - Guoliang Village Scenic Area Tour

Get up at around 5 o'clock the next day, eat breakfast, walk to the Nanping parking lot and take a bus to Guoliang Village . The parking lot is already crowded and lively, with hundreds of tourists already waiting for the bus. We got in the car and drove along the winding mountain road. The steep slopes and sharp turns made the tourists in the car scream in surprise. After dozens of minutes of thrilling driving, we passed through Guoliang Cave and arrived at the Guoliang Village parking lot.

After getting off the bus, we first visited Guoliang Village. According to the introduction of Tongtong tour guide: In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Guoliang Village suffered from years of famine, coupled with exploitation and oppression by landlords and feudal officials, the people were in dire straits. Guo Liang, the son of a farmer in the Taihang Mountains, led some hungry people to rise up and resist oppression. The farmers responded one after another and followed Guo Liang, and soon formed a strong team of farmers. At that time, the feudal dynasty panicked and sent troops to suppress it many times. However, due to the high mountains and dangerous roads, they all failed. Later, Guo Liang adopted the method of granting officials and making wishes to induce him. At that time, Guo Liang had a general named Zhou Jun who surrendered to the government and was named "Pingxi General". He led his officers and soldiers to suppress it. Because he was outnumbered, Guo Liang had to retreat to the cliffs of the Western Mountains. Later, he was besieged by the Zhou army and his food and grass were cut off. Guo Liang was so anxious that he asked the soldiers to hang the war drum and the goat on the tree. The goat's hooves were kicking wildly, and the drum was beating day and night. At the same time, Guo Liang ordered the soldiers to tie ropes from the back of the mountain to the cliff and safely transfer to a natural village (today's "Hui Escape Station"). In order to commemorate Guo Liang, people named this mountain village on the cliff "Guo Liang" when the village was built. It is located in the hinterland of Taihang, and the house is built against the cliff. In front of the village is a hundred-meter cliff, where more than 60 film and television works such as "Hands Up" and "The Bells of Qingliang Temple" were filmed, and it is known as the "Chinese Film and Television Village". Guoliang Village is located in a mountain depression according to its situation, and the houses are built according to the mountain and are well-proportioned. Bluestone walls, white gray caulking, gray tiles on the roof, wooden doors and wooden windows. In front of the village is the Huangbeijian Ridge with continuous ravines, and behind the village is the majestic Lotus Mountain with overlapping peaks.

Entering the village, I was lucky enough to take a photo with Shen Fugui, one of the excavators of the cliff corridor.

The Chinese willow tree at the bottom of Guoliang Village is a thousand-year-old tree with a chest circumference of 4.2 meters. In 1978, a strong wind broke it in half. People thought that the Chinese willow tree would wither and die. Unexpectedly, in the spring of the following year, half of it was broken. New buds sprouted from the stump, and branches sprouted from one side of the trunk, resembling a giant dragon.

We followed the mountain ring road to the large and small viewing platforms. Standing on the large and small viewing platforms, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wanxian Mountain, but also see the entire cliff road. I saw the hanging wall road hanging on the "Red Cliff Grand Canyon" with red rocks and a height of more than 130 meters. It was spectacular and shocking.

At an altitude of 1,297 meters, there is a stone crevice standing alone, more than 10 meters away from the cliff, named Another Mountain. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some families built houses here. There are now four courtyards and twelve houses, all made of wood and stone. The cliff outside the gate is more than 100 meters high, so it is called another mountain village, also known as the people on the cliff. There is a praising folk song: "Taihang is built on a thousand-foot cliff, and Guoliang is high and majestic. Farmhouses are farmed and weaved on the cliff, and the breeze and white clouds blow at the stone houses."

After visiting the houses on the cliff, we followed the canyon trail to Go to the bottom of the valley and admire the beautiful Tianchi. The water surface of Tianchi is as calm as a mirror, the water is green and bottomless, and the green mountains are reflected. The water flowing down from the outlet of the pool is extremely beautiful.

Continuing forward, we came to the wall-mounted road that has always been dreaming about and deeply shocked.

According to information, in 1972, Guo Liangren, who was unwilling to endure the hardships, led by Comrade Shen Mingxin, secretary of the party branch, sought a way out of the cliff and a passage. The whole village selected 13 young and strong laborers to form a commando team. Using soil experts and local methods, they measured the tunnel line on the red rock cliff. They gathered under the ladder and raised their fists to face the wall, vowing to dig through the cliff and create a road leading to the outside of the mountain.

There is no money to build roads, so the whole village sells cattle, sheep, medicinal materials, and wild fruits to raise funds. The commandos' daily food expenses were only 1.4 cents, and they had polenta and home-pickled radish for three meals a day. Without electricity or machinery, it took five years of hammering and hammering to carve out a 1,250-meter-long, 6-meter-wide, and 4-meter-high tunnel by hand, excavating 26,000 square meters of stone, and bare steel drills. More than 10 tons, smashing thousands of hammers. People ranging from 70-year-olds to teenagers took turns going to the construction site to clean up the debris. Everyone's shoulders were calloused and their fingers were bleeding. When the project was at its most difficult, more than 100 faculty and staff from the Huixian Education Bureau, led by Director Comrade Yuan Yong, came to help and accelerated the progress of the project. It was completed and opened to traffic on May 1, 1977. Guoliangdong was the first cross-cutting tunnel in South Taihang. The tunnel that passes through the cliff is known as the father of the Taihang Tunnel. The 35 skylights on the outside of Guoliang Tunnel were originally used to facilitate the drainage of ballast, but now they have become a ventilated and light-transmitting viewing platform. To this end, villager Wang Huaitang also gave his precious life.

Foreign friends came to Guoliang for interviews and called the cliff corridor the ninth wonder of the world. The opening of Guoliangdong laid the foundation for the development of Guoliang Village.

Walking on the hanging wall road, there are huge crowds of people, busy traffic, and an endless stream of people visiting. Looking through the stone window, there are cliffs of nearly 100 meters on both sides. I was deeply shocked by the fearlessness of the Guoliang villagers, their courage to overcome all difficulties and hardships, their courage to sacrifice, and their spirit. My soul was washed away like a storm. , full of confidence and hope for the future.

I deeply admire and sincerely wish the villagers of Guoliang a better life. I also wish that our motherland will become stronger and our people will be happier.
