How to get to Taihang Mountain?
Located between Shanxi Plateau and Hebei Plain in China. Northeast-southwest trend, local areas close to north-south trend. It starts from Juma River Basin in the north and reaches Qinhe Plain at the junction of Shanxi Province and Henan Province in the south. It is 700 kilometers long, folded and faulted, and the elevation of the ridge is 1500 ~ 2000 meters. Gneiss is exposed in the middle section, and limestone is mainly in the south and north sections. The fault on the east side of the mountain is obvious, and the fault rock wall of nearly 1000 meters is formed in many sections, which is magnificent. Xiaowutai Mountain, the main peak, is 2882 meters above sea level. The west side of the ridge became a gentle plateau. Rivers in Shanxi Plateau flow into North China Plain through Taihang Mountain. The mountainous area is cut by Juma River, Hutuo River, Zhanghe River and Qinhe River, with many horizontal valleys, which is called "Ji" locally. Cockscomb chicken, Taihang chicken, white chicken, chicken buckle chicken, Jingxing chicken, Hu Fei chicken, Puyin chicken, Du Jun chicken, etc. , known as the Eight Records of Taihang Mountain, has been something that Hebei Plain entered Shanxi Plateau since ancient times. Taihang Mountain is also an important geographical dividing line, with the Loess Plateau in the west and Huanghuai Plain in the east. The mountainous area has an obvious blocking effect on the summer monsoon, and there is more precipitation on the windward slope, forming a rainstorm area. Leeward slope has a dry climate. On the east side of the mountain, a strong seismic activity zone is also formed due to fault activity. Jingxing, Lincheng, Fengfeng, Liuhegou and other coal mines are distributed in the fault basin in the east wing of Taihang Mountain.
