The Natural Environment of Wangmang Ridge Scenic Area

Wangmang Ridge Scenic Area has five main characteristics: First, it has a unique landform, belongs to a typical karst terrain and enjoys a superior geographical position. When you personally visit Wangmang Ridge, you can look around the "towering peaks", take in everything in a glance the thousands of miles of plains, and experience the spiritual artistic conception that other peaks are dwarfed under the sky. An idyllic trip in the canyon; Second, the sky is strange, the sunrise is comparable to Taishan and the seaside, the sea of clouds and Huangshan, and the rime and ice hanging dare to be compared with Changbai Mountain. The Buddha's light is rare only in Buddhist resorts. Third, excellent ecology, cool climate and abundant animal and plant resources. More than 5,000 mu of Pinus tabulaeformis planted in the 1960s and Chinese herbal medicines can be seen everywhere, which will immerse everyone in a world of flowers and birds singing and harmony between heaven and earth. Fourth, the historical and cultural accumulation is profound, and this is where Wang Mang and Liu Xiu fought heroically. Fifth, the road-building spirit is earth-shattering. The villagers in Xiyagou refused to stop and declared war on the mountain. Three generations have struggled hard for 30 years, using primitive methods and simple tools to dig a tortuous wall-hung highway on the cliff. This is called a miracle in the history of rural highway construction in China by People's Daily. In 2009, Xiyagou Wall-hung Highway was successfully selected as "60 Landmarks of New China".

Wangmang Ridge tourist attractions include Wangmang Ridge, Qizishan, Guapi Highway and Xiyagou. According to legend, Wang Mang chased Liu Xiu to camp here in the Western Han Dynasty, hence the name Wangmang Ridge. Wangmang Ridge is a typical representative of the natural landscape of the 800-mile Taihang Mountain. In summer, the temperature is kept between 180C-200C, which is known as the "cool holy land". The climate on the mountain is very different from that under the mountain, and the weather changes greatly. It is a tourist attraction all year round, with a total area of about 150 square kilometers.

The grotesque stalactites in the cave are varied and unique, which sounds like a big clock or a lyre. There is also a grand canyon with a depth of more than 800 meters and a length of 15 kilometers, which passes through the village. The beautiful scenery in the valley and the clear spring waterfall are magnificent and can be called a must.

In addition, Xiyagou wall-hung highway in Wangmang Ridge Scenic Area is regarded as a great miracle in the history of rural highway construction in China. The 800-mile-long Taihang Mountain winds down from the southeast to the northeast to the southwest of the Loess Plateau with the momentum of the dragon taking off. In the gap of the mountain valley at the end of Taihang Mountain, at the junction of the mountain valley and the Central Plains, a magnificent and wonderful resort has been formed. This is the famous birthplace of Go in the world-Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. Wangmang Ridge lies in the mountains in the east of lingchuan county. She is tall and straight, majestic and magnificent, with towering mountains, steep cliffs, strange peaks, broad clouds and cypresses.

Lingchuan county, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province is the "watershed" between the North China Plain and the Loess Plateau. Belonging to a fault geological belt, it has formed a rare geological landscape, including majestic mountains and rivers in the north and beautiful scenery in the south. Coupled with long-term seclusion, it is a natural ecological park with original vegetation coverage of 90%. Rare birds can be seen everywhere, and the scenery, pastoral scenery and human landscape constitute a magical fairyland on earth. Painters, photographers and literati who have been here all feel: "800 miles is a great journey, and here is the real soul." This virgin land is new to photographers and photographers. "Thousands of peaks and valleys compete, and Yunshan magic becomes faster." Because of its unique geographical location, Wangmang Ridge has formed an extremely rare natural landscape. On rainy days, the clouds are lingering, the distant mountains are hidden and the peaks are near, the mountains are undulating and the weather is myriad. On a clear day, there are blue sky and white clouds, lush vegetation and endless peaks. The most beautiful things on Wangmang Ridge are the stone forests with strange peaks and rocks. They rise from the ground, just like the pillars of indomitable spirit, and like bamboo shoots, competing in the misty sea of clouds. At the top of these peaks, there are towering pines and cypresses, and between the cliffs, there are also trees and shrubs flying in the air. There are also rare birds and animals, and a hundred birds contend.

The mountains in Wangmang Ridge are steep, and the peaks stand side by side in the clouds, like camels, pituitary glands and colossus. If you are not a calculating person, even the road is not easy to find. In the process of mountain climbing and sightseeing, naughty stones hit people's toes, feet and even legs from time to time. People on narrow paths should be careful. Only one person can pass sideways in the narrowest place, so you may fall into a deep valley if you are not careful. Tweety walked on three legs (plus a crutch) before going far. Although these are not very difficult, the intensity of climbing alone is beyond the reach of ordinary delicate girls. The mountains in Wangmang Ridge are very beautiful. Compared with Wan Xianshan, there are no steep and bare rocks on the gorge wall, but the trees all over the mountains are refreshing. On the top of the mountain, I watched the low mountain surrounded by fog, hazy, like the Tiangong and Yaochi, and as beautiful as the fairy when she came down to earth.
