I went to Taiyuan to visit relatives during the National Day holiday. On the way back to Tianjin, I wanted to play while walking. I accidentally discovered this treasure attraction. It was really amazing. Longtan Canyon is right next to the village, at the entrance of the village, and has not been overdeveloped, so it has picturesque scenery with clear water and green mountains. The scenic area is not big, but the mountains, rivers, flowers, plants and trees are all very beautiful. It can be said that although small, it has everything! There are no steep roads or too many steps along the way. It is very friendly to the elderly, children and even pets. It is quite comfortable to just find a place to sit down and eat and drink. Even during the National Day holiday, there are not many people and parking at the entrance of the village is convenient. Therefore, this attraction is the most satisfying place for our whole family. It is really ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ recommended. PS: You must check in when rafting, you will find different beauty in the natural rocks from every angle!

📍Nangzi Pass, located in Yangquan, Shanxi, is known as the Ninth Pass Under Heaven. 🚗It takes about 3 hours to drive from Beijing or Taiyuan, and about 2 hours by high-speed rail. One day is enough to visit the place. 🤣The scenery is beautiful, there are many things to do, and there are few people. You can also pass by the abandoned Nangzi Pass Power Plant, which is the setting of Liu Cixin's novel. Driving past the tall water tower and through the tunnel is a magical experience. 👉There are two travel routes to choose from, and I recommend the first one. 1️⃣Pingyang Lake—Waterfall—Pass City ✅Enter the scenic area from Pingyang Lake and walk along the boardwalk to the glass walkway. ✅You need to buy a separate ticket for the glass walkway for CNY 30. The swaying glass bridge is very exciting. ✅The waterfall scenic area is very photogenic, and the waterfall is spectacular. ✅After seeing the waterfall, head to Nangzi Pass City. The city is well-preserved, and you can try local snacks such as pressed cakes and fried pepper leaves. ✅You can climb the wild Great Wall in the city. The stairs are steep, but you can also follow the signs to take a detour to the same place. You can overlook the entire Nangzi Pass from the top. 2️⃣Pass City—Waterfall—Pingyang Lake ✅This is the reverse order of 1️⃣, which is more physically demanding. ✅It is recommended to enter from Pass City and not climb the wild Great Wall. Follow the signs to take a detour to climb the Great Wall. ✅After coming down from the Great Wall, walk along the boardwalk to the waterfall scenic area. Then, it is recommended to take the glass walkway and then take a boat to Pingyang Lake. 🙋‍♂️Some tips ➡️Be sure to wear sneakers, as it is a long walk. ➡️It is recommended to buy a joint ticket for 3 attractions, which is cheaper online. It is recommended to consider the glass walkway as an optional item. ➡️Navigate to Shuishang Renjia for dining. It is a village with many restaurants. Recommended dishes include oat noodles, fried pepper leaves, and fish (the local specialty). While waiting for your meal, you can buy a fishing net and catch fish and shrimp in the small river next to the restaurant, which is very relaxing.

Guguan Great Wall Site-Qinling Ancient Post Road Detailed address: Xinguan Village, Pingding County, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province Business hours: Monday to Sunday 08:00-17:00 Ticket price 40 yuan (30 yuan guide fee is not included, basically mandatory) P parking lot 10 yuan (there is a restaurant on the roadside, no parking fee for meals) Recommendation reasons: 1 Guguan Great Wall is the only existing stone-built inner Great Wall in China that is relatively well preserved, and it is the earliest inner Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty in my country. The Guguan Great Wall was built in 369 BC, 155 years earlier than the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang after he unified the six kingdoms. Although most of the existing relics are Ming Dynasty buildings, it has a history of more than 2,300 years since its initial construction and was rebuilt during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1542). 2 The original pass was at Guguan (today's Jiuguancun), but due to its poor defense, it was repeatedly breached. Jiajing ordered the pass to be moved ten miles west, expanded on the Great Wall of Zhongshan Kingdom, and built three yamen. The first yamen was headed by a lieutenant general, the second yamen was headed by a thousand-man commander, who was responsible for ammunition, etc., and the third yamen was responsible for garrison and customs collection. The total length from Jiayu Valley in the north to the entrance of Baihui Village in the south is 20 kilometers. 3 Qinling Ancient Post Road: built after Qin unified the six kingdoms, it mainly controlled the commercial, political and military road from Taihang to Shanxi and Hebei. It is verified that it was 100 years earlier than the ancient Roman road. The ancient road is paved with bluestone, and after thousands of years of vehicle pressure, deep ruts have been formed. It now exists in a section behind the city gate, less than 100 meters. Tips: Due to years of war, thousands of meters of ancient Great Wall and sentry towers, battlements, medicine towers, gates, Xifeng Temple, etc. at the north and south ends of Guguan have been restored.

Guguan Great Wall in Pingding County, Yangquan City, is one of the four famous passes in the west of Beijing during the Ming Dynasty (the other three are Juyong Pass, Zijing Pass, and Daoma Pass), and is known as the "screen for the capital". The Guancheng was first built in the second year of the Zhengtong Period of the Ming Dynasty (1437). It was called "Guguan" at that time and is located in Jiuguan Village, Niangziguan Town, Pingding County. In the 22nd year of Jiajing (1543), "the enemy invaders in Taiyuan were close to the old pass. Although the pass was located at a strategic location, the old city was not safe enough." So they moved ten miles west to build a new city, and changed "gu" to "gu" in the name of "gu", which means "solid as a rock". They also repaired the Great Wall on both sides of the city. Guguan Great Wall starts from Jiayugou in Niangziguan in the north and ends at the entrance of Baihui Village in the south. It is 20 kilometers long and is the most intact stone-built inner Great Wall in China. Luo Zhewen, a famous Great Wall expert, called it "a little Badaling style". According to Mr. Luo's research, the Guguan Great Wall was built in 369 BC, 155 years earlier than the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang after he unified the six kingdoms. Although most of the existing ruins are Ming Dynasty buildings, it has a history of 2,374 years since its construction, which is rare in China.

Niangziguan village is built against the mountain, with houses mostly constructed from stone. Each house is over a hundred years old, and the local residents live along the water. The area is rich in groundwater resources, with more than a hundred springs, and the spring water gushes all year round, with water flowing in every household and springs emerging everywhere, creating a picturesque scene of 'people walking on water, water flowing under houses,' as if one were in an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Niangziguan, located in Pingding County, Shanxi Province, is located at the junction of Jin and Ji in the middle section of the Taihang Mountains and is a key cultural relics protection unit. Niangziguan, known as the ninth pass of the Great Wall, is a battleground for the military in all ages. The pass was built by the team stationed by Li Xiuning, the Princess of Pingyang, the daughter of Li Yuan. Princess Pingyang was the first princess of the Tang Dynasty to have a posthumous title after her death. The discipline of Niangzi was strict, the orders were carried out, the people were not disturbed, and she was supported by the masses. The team led by Princess Pingyang was called "Niangzi" by the common people, so the pass where they were stationed was naturally called "Niangziguan".

The most worthwhile ancient building ruins in Shanxi: [Pingding Guguan] 🌼Guguan Great Wall is also known as "having the charm of small Badaling". It is one of the four famous passes in the west of Beijing during the Ming Dynasty (the other three are Juyongguan, Zijingguan, and Daomaguan), and is the "screen of the capital". The Guancheng was first built in the second year of the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty (1437). It was called "Guguan" at that time and is located in Jiuguan Village, Niangziguan Town, Pingding County. 🌼The top of the west city gate is inlaid with the two huge characters "Guguan", which were inscribed by the ancient celebrity Wang Shiqiao (whose courtesy name was Wuya). Outside the city gate, there is a natural screen wall, which is a cliff with thousand-year-old cypress trees on it, lush and verdant. There are inscriptions carved on the cliff, "layered mountains and ridges" and "green mountains beyond the mountains", but the author of the inscriptions is unknown. In the 22nd year of Jiajing (1543), "the enemy invaded Taiyuan and was close to the old pass. Although the pass was strategically located, the old city was not strategic enough." So they moved ten miles west to build a new city, and changed "gu" to "gu" in the meaning of "solid as iron", and later repaired the Great Wall on both sides of the pass. One of the “Nine Barriers of the World” referred to in Lüshi Chunqiu. 🌼From the Guanlou, you can enter the narrow city wall with high walls. It is paved entirely with bluestone. After thousands of years of rolling by wheels, smooth and round stone slabs have naturally formed deep wheel track marks, the deepest of which can reach one foot. This pass was the only main transportation route into Beijing in ancient times, and it is a historical mark left by the vehicles and pedestrians passing through it. 🌼Guguan has experienced many major historical events, and many emperors, generals, and literati have come and gone here. For example, the Qin Shi Huangdi's conquest of Zhao, the return of Qin Shi Huang's corpse to Xianyang, Han Xin's "Battle of the River", Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's suppression of the "Anshi Rebellion", and Emperor Kangxi's western tour all passed by here. Han Yu, Sima Guang, Han Qi, Yu Chenglong, Kong Shangren and others also left their excellent poems here. 🌼Guguan City has thick and strong walls, towering thousands of feet high. There are many artillery batteries around it. The east and west gates are wrapped with iron plates and nailed. They are opened and closed at dawn and dusk, and there are guards on duty. In ancient times, there was a reputation of "one man guarding the pass is more than ten thousand men can stop him." Today, the Guguan Great Wall has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, and things and people have changed, but it still stands tall and majestic, telling the long history from ancient times to the present.

With the popularity of the TV series 'Blooming Flowers', the issues related to Shanghai have also become one of the topics of concern and heated discussion after meals. However, in our country, there is such a city, it is the poorest city in Shanxi. This place was once known as Little Shanghai, and now its GDP is the last in the province! Curious friends might ask, where is this city? What different scenery is there? With these questions and curiosity, today we will talk about the things related to Yangquan, Shanxi. Yangquan City, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Province. It was known as 'Yangquan' in ancient times, and is also known as Mountain City, the first city of the Chinese Communist Party, and the third largest city in Shanxi Province.

Legend has it that Wang Hao chased Liu Xiuzhi Ling, also known as Hongyan Temple Liang, the main mountain range of the Qiulin Mountains, southwest--eastern, with an altitude of more than 1,200 meters.

In the history of the Niangziguan, there is always a kind of tenacity of "one husband is the key, the husband is not open", until more than one hundred years ago, the weak China proved by fact that there is no winner. For two thousand years, this ancient Guan has saved too many unspeakable complex plots, leaving only a faint aftertaste, which is thought-provoking. Yangziguan was one of the gateways to the Great Wall built by the Zhongshan State during the Warring States Period. Since then, it has been a long period of time, because it is located at the southern end of the "Inner Sanguan Great Wall" inside the Great Wall. "The ninth gate of the Great Wall," but why it is the ninth pass is still an unsolved mystery. Wanli Great Wall, while defending the peace of the people, there is also a little cold and ruthless, but the Niangzi Guan has added a touch of gentleness to this iron. According to legend, the daughter of Tang Gaozus Li Yuans daughter, Pingyang, once led the Womens Army to guard the territory here. During the Qing Emperor Qianlongs period, Pingding Zhouzhi said

On the land of Shanxi, it is rare to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the waterfalls and the springs and rivers. The groundwater source near the Niangziguan is extremely rich, and there are many springs. The waterfall near the hydropower station is also called the Shuiliandong Waterfall. It is one of the top ten waterfalls in China. Looking for a quiet trail can go down to the Taohe River Valley, then look up at the Shuiliandong Waterfall, and see the waterfall just like a white practice floating from the sky and landing in the Taohe River Valley. In the process of falling, the waterfall suddenly slammed down, and sometimes it was blocked by the stone. The water and stone were violent, and there were countless waves, scattered everywhere, and thunderous sounds. The gorge covered by shisha clouds, under the sunlight, formed a colorful neon, across the canyon, beautiful and spectacular. It is no wonder that Guo Moruo came to Shanxi to visit the Niangziguan, and also made a poem to praise the water curtain cave waterfall: Niangzi Guantou hanging waterfall, flying into the valley and the dragon.

There are two springs in Guandong, Longquan and Zhangze Tuquan, which flow through the night. After the two springs merge into a small stream, they will descend to the north along the slope, and the east will fold west and pass through the house. It is easy to learn from the people, and when it is hidden, it has achieved the natural scenery of "people live on the water, and the Qingquan house flows down." Floating people are a yard passed down by the Qing Dynasty. The villagers use water, rafters for the wheel, and stone for grinding, which is used to grind food and spices.

She did not leave her knife and was extremely brave. After she married General Chai Shao, she still did not forget the military life. She is a famous female Zhongyingjie in Chinese history.

Sunset sprinkles golden colors, the walls are bathed in warm sunshine, telling every visitor the history of the year.

I think, there are not a few Chinese people who don't know the Niangziguan because it is a world. Its existing Guancheng was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it is opposite to the well in the well. It is a military heavy land. It is known as the ninth gate of the Great Wall. It is very dangerous and is a battleground for the dynasties. The driver heard that we went to Niangziguan, and I kindly reminded everyone to add more clothes, saying that the wind is big and it will be cold.

Just entering the door, I saw a cute dog, who kept guarding the door, and felt like a guardian guard. We shot it, it didn't run, and it worked quite well.
