The Eight Great Places of Xishan
In Xiaoxishan in Shijingshan District, there are three beautiful peaks - Lufeng Mountain, Cuiwei Mountain and Pingpo Mountain, which are scattered with buildings from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The eight ancient temples with blue tiles and red walls are hidden among the green mountains and trees, which contain a rich poetic and picturesque atmosphere. These are the famous "Eight Great Places of Xishan".
At the foot of the mountain, there is a clear stream gurgling along the foot of the mountain, which is the same as Liuxi. There are five small bridges across the stream. Looking along the stream on a moonlit night, the five bridges run like beads, which is the so-called "Five Bridges at Night" ” scene. One stream, three mountains, five bridges and eight temples here constitute the 12 scenic spots of the natural scenic spot. The names of the 12 sceneries are: the view from the top, the apricot forest in the spring mountain, the clouds on the green peak, the sunset of Lu Shi, the sound of the misty rain cuckoo, the mountain torrent after the rain, the flowing spring in the valley, the dawn in the high forest, the night moon on the five bridges, the red leaves in late autumn, and the green tiger peaks. , layer upon layer of clear snow.
Most of the temples in the mountains were built in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and have now been fully repaired. These eight temples are: the first is Chang'an Temple, which is famous for preserving the white-skinned dragon claw pine from the Yuan Dynasty; the second is Lingguang Temple, which has a 51-meter-high Buddha Tooth Pagoda; and the third is Sanshan Temple, where beings can appear There are water clouds and stones with strange patterns such as flowers, trees, birds, animals and flowing clouds; the fourth is Dabei Temple, which enshrines vivid Buddha statues; the fifth is Longquan Temple, which is famous for its springs; the sixth is Xiangjie Temple, which is the main temple of Badachu; The seven Baozhu Caves offer mountain views; the eighth, Chengguo Temple, has the longest history among the eight places.

The Badaling Great Wall
The Great Wall is a great military project in ancient my country. It is also the pride of the Chinese people and a symbol of the long history of the Chinese nation. It starts from Shanhaiguan in the east and ends at Jiayuguan in the west, winding for more than 12,700 miles, so it is famous as the "Great Wall". China first built the Great Wall in the seventh century BC. After Qin Shihuang unified China in 221 BC, he spent huge amounts of manpower and material resources to complete this great project at the cost of "building a city of thousands of miles and building thousands of people." Since the Great Wall stands tall in the east of the world, it has experienced thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow.
The Badaling Great Wall is the commanding height of the Great Wall in the Beijing area. The top of the mountain is 1,015 meters above sea level. It is the north entrance within the Juyongguan range. It was named Badaling because "it leaves Juyongguan and goes north to Yanqing Prefecture and west to Xuanzhen. The road divides from the north." Badaling Guancheng was built in 1505, with a height of 7.5 meters and a thickness of 4 meters. The east and west gates say: "North Gate Lock Key", and the west gate says: "Juyongwai Lock". There is a Ming Dynasty cannon at the entrance of Guancheng, which is 2.85 meters long and 1.05 meters in circumference. It is called "Shenwei General".
The Badaling section of the Great Wall is typical. This section of the Great Wall is 7.8 meters high and 5.8 meters wide at the top, and can accommodate 5 horses running parallel. The entire city wall is made of granite strips and special city bricks. It is tall and solid. Enemy platforms, crenels and shooting holes are set up in sections on the top of the wall, and there is also a drainage system. Next to the city wall, with a wide view, there is a beacon tower used to transmit military signals in ancient times.
The Badaling area has dangerous mountains and overlapping city gates. As a military defense, it can be said to be impregnable. But that year, Li Zicheng broke into Badaling from the direction of Xuanfu and Huailai, seized the pass, and destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Now we climb the city gate and look at the Great Wall winding among the endless mountains, which triggers many nostalgic thoughts, such as "Going out of the fortress to hold the pipa, and riding a camel back to my hometown." How much history and sentiments have the Great Wall witnessed through the ages!
The first mausoleum of emperors throughout the ages - the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin
The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is located near Xiahe Village, 5 kilometers east of Tongxuan, Linzi.
In July 210 BC, Qin Shihuang died of illness on the sand dune platform (today's Xuan, Pingxiang, Hebei) during his fifth patrol. He died at the age of 50 and was buried in the Lishan Mausoleum in September of the same year.
Qin Shihuang began to build the mausoleum in Lishan since he ascended the throne at the age of 13 (247 BC). It was not completed until the death of Qin Shihuang in 210 BC. Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, continued to build it for two more years. It lasted 39 years. He called his grave "Lishan Garden". The number of civilians recruited to build the Lishan Cemetery reached more than 700,000 at most. The main materials for the mausoleum are shipped from Sichuan, Hubei and other places.
Qin Shihuang chose the mausoleum at the foot of Mount Li. The picture shows Mount Li as its back and the Wei River at its feet. Blue fields produce jade in the south of the mountain, and gold comes from the north. There is water for playing on the left and Bahe River on the right. It has good Feng Shui. May your descendants enjoy longevity and happiness forever.
The map of the First Emperor's Mausoleum runs east-west, with the gate on the outer wall of the cemetery opening to the east. It is completely different from the general layout of the mausoleum facing north and south. It shows that the First Emperor is in the west, sweeping across Liuhe and dominating the world. Power.
According to the census, the scope of the cemetery and burials is 15 miles from east to west, north to south, and the total area is 56 square kilometers. The cemetery covers an area of nearly 8 square kilometers and has an inner city and an outer city. The tomb is located in the southern half of the inner city and is in the shape of an overturned bucket. It is now 76 meters high and has a square base. According to archaeologists' speculation, Qin Shihuang's "mausoleum" should be behind the mausoleum, that is, on the west side.
For more than two thousand years, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor has had a strange and confusing mythological quality for China and the entire world.
According to Sima Qian's "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin", the tomb was dug to a deep spring, then reinforced with copper casting, and the coffin was placed. There are palaces and pavilions built in the tomb, which are filled with rare and rare treasures. There is also a crossbow with a bow and arrow installed in the tomb. If someone excavates the tomb and touches the mechanism, they will become the victims later. There are astronomical stars inlaid with luminous pearls on the top of the tomb, and there is a mercury lake in the tomb that symbolizes rivers and seas, and it has the geomorphology of Kyushu Island. Mermaid paste is also used to make lamps and candles, which will last forever. After the burial was completed, Qin II ordered all the childless maids in the palace and the craftsmen who built the mausoleum to be buried in the tomb. Later generations have some doubts about Sima Qian's magical records and descriptions, but archaeological discoveries in recent decades have proven that Sima Qian's records are basically credible. The Tomb of Qin Shihuang has been listed as a "World Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO together with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
To go to Qin Shi Huang Yuan, you can take the "green bus" that runs from the train station.
