202 1 Yulin was affected by the epidemic situation, and Hongshixia was temporarily closed to the public.

Hongshixia in the north of Yulin is a short river valley with red mountains on both sides, hence the name Hongshixia. In Yulin City, military commanders and literati who guarded the border in the past dynasties went to Hongshixia to inscribe, and later formed the Hongshixia cliff stone carving calligraphy community, which was known as the forest of steles on the frontier. However, recently affected by the epidemic situation in Shaanxi, according to the arrangement of epidemic prevention and control, the scenic spot will be temporarily closed to the outside world.

Announce the closure of the park dear tourists,

Introduction to Hongshixia Scenic Area Hongshixia is located about 5 kilometers north of Yulin City. It is located in Yuxi Valley at the foot of Lipstick Mountain in the Ming Great Wall. Locals also call it "Lion Gorge". Because the mountain is full of red stones, it is named Hongshixia. The mountains and rivers in the canyon are beautiful, and there are many grottoes and ancient temples.

The stone carvings in Hongshixia are divided into two parts, most of which are works in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although the age is not very long, there are many famous Mo Bao. On the east cliff of Hongshixia, there are more than 80 inscriptions, most of which were carved during the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, among which Yu Xi Resort by Zuo and Return My Rivers and Mountains by Ma Zhanshan are more famous; On the cliff on the west side of Hongshixia, there are about 30 inscriptions, some of which are special inscriptions combining yin and yang, and there is a Mongolian stone carving "Tiancheng Xiongxiu", which is worth seeing.

The earliest remains of Hongshixia are temples and grottoes in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but now, except for some paintings and sculptures in caves, the rest no longer exist. Among the existing grottoes, the fourth and sixth grottoes are still worth visiting. The carvings on the top of the fourth and sixth caves are well preserved, and the design of the sixth cave also has the significance of the Mongolian and Han families. If you come to the grottoes in summer, you will feel very cool. Visitors can also walk from here to Tianmen at the top of the cliff and the underground gate leading to the water in the canyon.

Hongshixia is also the location of the movie "Ashes of Time", which is suitable for visiting at ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, the canyon under the sunset glow is very artistic. Visitors can also walk from the west cliff to the bottom of the canyon, where Yuxi River flows, which makes this northwest frontier fortress look beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River. If you come here in summer, you can play with water on the beach by the river.
