Yongding River Canyon

The Yongding River Gorge, also known as Guanting mountain gorge and yor Valley, is the upper reaches of the Yongding river. From Guanting Reservoir Dam to Yanhe City, it is the essence of Yongding River Valley. Yongding River, like a dragon, rushes into the mountains. Here is the real grand river gorge, with cliffs on both sides of the valley. The mountains are composed of limestone and are deeply weathered. The only difference between Yongding River and the famous Sanjiang secret place in Yunnan is that the mountains on both sides of Yongding River are dry and the vegetation is sparse, but the scenery is just as magnificent.

brief introduction

Yongding River Gorge is a famous upstream valley of Yongding River in Beijing. It starts from the Guanting Reservoir Dam in the north and ends at Yanhe city in Mentougou District in the south. It is also called Guanting gorge and Youzhou gorge. High mountains stand on both sides of the gorge. Huge rocks have naturally weathered. At the bottom of the gorge is the turbulent Yongding River.

history

Yongding River, known as bath water in ancient times, Sanggan River in Sui Dynasty and Lugou in Jin Dynasty, has flood season from July to August every year.

The river flows rapidly from the Yanshan gorge. There are many cliffs on both sides, with a drop of 320:1 and a maximum flow of about 5200 cubic meters per second.

The river carries a lot of sediment, and the river is turbid, with an annual mud content of 31.2 million tons. In Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there were other names such as Hunhe River and Xiaohuanghe river.

Due to the impermanence of river migration, it is commonly known as Wuding River, which is often inundated, leaving many old roads in history.

Among them, there are three large-scale old roads near Beijing: the first one flows eastward from yamen gate, turns northeast along the north side of Babao mountain, passes through Haidian, and joins Wenyu River eastward along Qinghe River.

The second old road before the Western Han Dynasty flows eastward from yamen gate, through Tiancun and Zizhuyuan, from Deshengmen to the "sea" in the city, then to the southeast, and out of the city through Zhengyangmen, Xianyukou, Hongqiao and Longtan Lake.

The third is the old road from the Three Kingdoms to Liao Dynasty, from Lugouqiao to Majuqiao via Kandan village and Nanyuan.

According to historical records, this old road lasted more than 900 years, and it was not until 1698, the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, that Wuding River was renamed Yongding River.

Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty tried to change his "golden words" to change his "uncertain" and "multi disaster" situation. He specially named it "Yongding River".

But this did not change the flood situation of Yongding River. The Guanting reservoir, which was started in October 1951 and completed in 1954, cut off the Yongding River, making it the real Yongding River.

characteristic

Yongding River Canyon drifting started in 1995. It is the earliest and the most influential in the north of China. It is known as "the first drifting in the north". Yongding River Gorge has beautiful scenery, deep forest and secluded valley.

During the drifting, swimming, boating, fishing, mountaineering, hunting, picnics and camping, which is unprecedented in our life, is a great pleasure in the world.

Yongding river canyon rafting and exploration as one, very interesting and exciting, you can rest assured that this kind of rafting is safe and reliable.

"Water rafting tourism" has long been a popular tourism project in the world. It integrates tourism and exploration. It is interesting and exciting, safe and reliable. It is loved by the majority of tourists and has a good development prospect.

Yongding river canyon rafting, in the north of China and Beijing, Tianjin, Zhangzhou area, the earliest (opened in 1995), the largest scale, known as the "North first drift.".

Yongding River Canyon water drift site is located in the upper reaches of Yongding River, starting from Guanting Reservoir Dam power station.

The water volume, flow rate and water depth can be controlled by human beings. It can adapt to different levels of tourists' rafting. It is very ideal. The whole rafting process is 50 km, and the speed is about 10-15 km per hour.

The section from the power station to houjianhu of jiuzhuangwao is about 10 kilometers long, known as "ten thousand meter excursion".

Tourists take a high-strength special rubber boat, wear a life jacket, hold a paddle, shuttle, swim in the Yongding River Canyon, the passion and fun is indescribable, only try to experience.

Source of river water

Yongding River originates from Guancen mountain, Ningwu County, Shanxi Province. It flows through Inner Mongolia and Hebei Province, then flows into Hebei Province through Beijing, and flows into Bohai Sea from Haihe River to Tanggu in Tianjin.

The Yongding River, 548 km long, flows from Sanjiadian of Mentougou District to Shijingshan District, then flows through wulituo, Mayu, Pangcun, Shuitun and other places, and flows into Fengtai District through the south of Yamenkou village.

Yongding River, formerly known as Wuding River, is one of the seven major river systems in Haihe River Basin and the largest river in Hebei Province. The drainage area is 47016 square kilometers, including 45063 square kilometers in mountainous areas and 1953 square kilometers in plains.

The Yongding River is 747 km long and flows through 43 counties and cities in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin. The whole basin covers an area of 47000 square kilometers.

There are Sanggan River and Yanghe River in the upper reaches of Yongding River. They meet in zhuguantun, Huailai County, Hebei Province. The lower reaches are called Yongding River. They join Guishui River in Yanqing County and flow into Guanting Gorge (Guanting reservoir to Sanjiadian section) through Guanting reservoir.

It is 30km long from Guanting to zhuguantun River, 108.7km long from Guanting gorge river to Sanjiadian of Mentougou and flows into the plain.

From below Sanjiadian to Tianjin estuary, the river is about 200 km long. In the water conservancy system, it is divided into four sections: Sanjiadian Lugouqiao, Lugouqiao lianggezhuang, Yongding River flood area and Yongding New River.

Water conservancy facilities include Guanting reservoir, Zhuwo reservoir, Luopoling reservoir and Sanjiadian water control project.

Cultural details

Important position

Even from the appearance of "Ji" and "Yan", the vassal states of Zhou Dynasty, the earliest cultural phenomenon of Beijing still appeared in Yongding River.

In today's Qianjuntai and Zhuanghu villages, the ancient fan music, which has the same origin as the "elegant music" of the spring and Autumn period more than 2000 years ago, is still preserved; the Tanzhe Temple, built in the Jin Dynasty, is the earliest Buddhist temple in Beijing, which opened the first door for the introduction of Buddhist culture into Beijing; the Yangge opera in today's Baiyu village still retains the archaeological culture of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, which shows that Beijing is a "different culture" This is the "intersection" zone.

Before the Tang Dynasty, China's political and cultural center was in Xi'an, forming a splendid culture of Qin and Jin Dynasties. After Liao and Jin Dynasties established their capital in Beijing, the "cultural center" gradually moved eastward.

Yongding River became the natural artery of "moving eastward", which promoted the integration of Qin Jin culture and Yongding River culture.

As a result, the "cultural center" first moved to the Yongding River area, and then entered today's Beijing city. Therefore, historical geographers believe that Yongdinghe culture plays an important role in the history of Beijing's urban development.

Geological Grand View Garden

On the Bank of Beijing, the capital of our great motherland, lies a "geological Grand View Garden". It is the Grand Canyon of Yongding River, which is full of mountains and rivers.

A research project of National Natural Science Foundation of China shows that Yongding River culture is a general term of regional history and culture created by Beijingers using natural and cultural resources in the geographical environment of Yongding River Basin. The concept of Yongding River culture covers the natural and cultural aspects of Yongding River Basin. It includes the culture of ancient cities and villages, the water culture closely related to the formation and development of Beijing, the folk culture with a history of more than 100000 years, the industrial culture originated before the Liao and Jin Dynasties, the religious culture of harmonious coexistence of Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism and Islam, and the military culture with a long history. Its representatives are "the pioneering work of modern geology of China", "the standard section of geomorphology of China" and "the fourth section"
