It is a typical representative of "Xiong Feng's Northland Scenery" and is known as "Taihang Grand Canyon". Tour guide words of Taihang Grand Canyon
Taihang Grand Canyon has the characteristics of majestic, dangerous, strange, beautiful, secluded and wide, with complete geological and geomorphological types, excellent ecological vegetation, fresh and beautiful environment and maintained a natural primitive state. Peaks, mountains, terraces, walls, gorges, streams and valleys are fully exposed in geology, and the landscape is vertically multi-layered, forming a series of vertical spaces with three cliffs and two gentle slopes. A cliff, a green belt, distinct, simple and vigorous as prints, is a natural geological museum.
There are four typical strata here, that is, the pre-Sinian complex constitutes the folded basement of the active platform; Sinian timely sandstone forms multi-stage erosion steps, which is the lowest layer of active platform caprock. Cambrian sandstone shale and marl form a mountainside denudation surface, which is hilly and gentle slope, and is the middle layer of platform cover; Ordovician limestone is a steep peak cluster, which is the upper layer of platform cover. These four typical strata constitute the "folded basement" in the lower part and the typical "activated platform" in the upper part of the platform cover, which is characterized by the rise of cliffs and the formation of typical northern scenery. This typical landform is precious and non-renewable, and its typicality, preciousness and irreplaceability deserve further study.
Wangxiangshi, Taohua Valley, Taihang Pinghu and Xianxiayu are four scenic spots that are now open in our scenic area. Taihang Grand Canyon Tour Guide Our trip this time is as follows:
Luban, R.
Attention, everyone. On the mountain on our left, we can see a huge ravine. This is the famous Luban River, and it is also the only access to Heping County, Shibanyan Township, Shanxi Province before Gu Shan. The Luban River is 1 10 meters wide and more than 200 meters high, which has the trend of "one person guarding it and ten thousand people can't force it". Before the Taihang Tunnel was completed, it was very difficult for people in Shibanyan Township to climb over this gully 1000 meters high with one shoulder and one hand.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the comrades of the supply and marketing cooperative in Shibanyan Township carried the daily necessities such as salt and kerosene needed by the villagers to the mountains with pole, and then selected local products in the mountains. This is the birthplace of the famous "pole spirit" of the national supply and marketing system at that time.
There is a legend about Luban Graben: the famous craftsman Luban went to Lvlin Mountain to cut wood. Seeing that the mountain was difficult to climb and walk, he wanted to split it, so he swung his axe and cut only one graben at the top of the mountain. On the ravine on the east side of Wangkou, there is an obvious and complete fingerprint trace, which is said to be the handprint left by Lu Ban moving a boulder.

Before Wu Ding ascended the throne, his father Xiao Yi asked him to live with civilians in Lvlinshan (now Shibanyan, Linzhou, Henan Province) in the west, more than 100 miles away from Yindu, in order to increase his talents. Wu Ding learned a set of productive labor skills here and made friends with slave Fu Shuo. Fu Shuo has been very clever since he was a child. Although he was born a slave, he studied hard and was very concerned about world affairs. Wu Ding was sent to Lv Lin and soon made friends with Fu Shuo. Fu Shuo felt that although Wu Ding was the son of Shang King, he did not have the pride of nobility. He not only lived in harmony with civilians, but also made friends with slaves like himself, so he admired Wu Ding very much. During his stay with Fu Shuo, Wu Ding learned a lot. Later, Wu Ding became the king of Shang Dynasty. After three years of silence, he invited Fu Shuo into the palace of Yindu and made him the prime minister. Bo said that after three years' hard work, he helped Wu Ding to rectify its political affairs and make the Shang Dynasty reach its peak, which is known as "the revival of Yin and Taoism" in history. In order to commemorate the slave-born prime minister, later generations called the place where he lived "Wangxiang Stone".

It starts from Guangou, Beijing in the north, reaches the Yellow River Basin in the south, connects Shanxi Plateau in the west and borders North China Plain in the east. It is more than 4000 kilometers long and about 100 kilometers wide.
The western hills in the northern section constitute the main part of the mountainous areas in western Beijing. This mountain is mainly composed of ancient metamorphic rocks and magmatic rocks. Mainly in Zhongshan, the average altitude is over l000 meters. The peaks above 20x meters above sea level include Xiaowutai Mountain, Lingshan Mountain, Taibai Mountain, Dongling Mountain, Nanpei Mountain, Quyang Mountain and Baishi Mountain. This Shandong is steep in the east and gentle in the west. The west wing is connected with Shanxi Plateau, and the east wing transits from Zhongshan and low hills to plain. The mountainous area is rich in coal resources, including iron, copper, molybdenum, gold, tungsten and other metals. Most of the natural vegetation has been destroyed, and alpine meadows with a height of 20x meters appear. The eastern foothills are important traffic arteries in ancient and modern times.

After research, he pointed out: "this is the seaside in the past, and now it is nearly a thousand miles away from the sea in the east." "Modern geological research confirmed his assertion. 600 million years ago, Taihang Mountain was an X sea. Later, the earth's crust moved frequently, the ground fluctuated and the sea advanced and retreated. At the time of regression, swamps were everywhere, the climate was warm and humid, and dense forests were growing, thus forming the rich coal resources in Taihang Mountain area today. Subsequent crustal activity gradually uplifted Taihang Mountain. Later, a fault occurred with the East-West Great Plain of North China, forming a landform with steep Taihang in the east and slow Taihang in the west.
The Taihang Mountains are full of peaks, most of which are over 1,000 meters above sea level. Xiaowutai Mountain in the north is her highest peak, reaching 2870 meters.

Next to the ancient plank road dug on the steep cliff, there is a stone bridge called Xianren Bridge, which has made great contributions to the economic and cultural exchanges between Shanxi and Henan. Xianren Bridge, built in Ming Dynasty, is 50 meters long and 25 meters high. It is rigorous in structure, firm and concise. According to legend, people from 18 states and 96 counties in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and Qin provinces participated in the construction.

Although it was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, the outline of the word "Daheguan" can still be seen, and traces of ancient customs, ancient bridges and ancient plank roads can also be seen. According to the historical records of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao pursued Gao Qian from here and entered Taihang Mountain to capture Huguan. Yangchangban was once a dangerous road between the ancient Central Plains and Shangdang Taihang. It is named for its narrow roads and narrow walls. During the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Cao led an army to attack Gao Qian, who was entrenched in Shangdang Huguan, he wrote a poem "A Journey to Bitter Cold" and lamented the difficulty of this trip: "It is difficult to travel northward to Taihang Mountain, but Cui Wei is difficult, and the wheels are destroyed. The wind whistling in the trees and the north wind howling in sorrow. ……"。 The Cao Gong base on the top of the mountain is the remains of the last fortress captured by Cao Cao when he joined the Party.
