synonym

Xiyagou generally refers to xiyagou scenic spot

Xiyagou scenic spot is located in the south end of wangmangling scenic spot, surrounded by a deep valley with a drop of more than 1000 meters. Xiya guabi road is known as a world wonder. In this area, there are steep mountains and deep gullies. The terrain is dangerous and the cliffs are lined up. Because of the natural danger, 200 families in the gullies are almost isolated from the world, and they have been living and dying for thousands of years. In 1962, Gouli people were unwilling to close up and declared war on the mountain. It took 30 years for two generations to dig a 7.5 km long hanging wall Road on the West Cliff of the village, which created a miracle in the history of rural road construction in China. The true meaning of "Yugong moves mountains" and "man will conquer heaven" in Comrade Mao Zedong's famous words has been truly reflected here. It has become the source of inspiration and sublimation of the spirit of hard struggle and enterprising, and has been designated as the moral education base of Shanxi Province. At the same time, the barrier of mountains also creates a paradise. The valley bottom is full of traffic, Mianyang bridge flowing water, green fields, simple folk customs and beautiful natural scenery. In the village, there is a grand canyon vertically separated from north to south, deep and long, with cliffs like screens and sandstone like vermilion. A clear spring flows down from the walls, with the sound of waves like thunder, cold air forcing up, and misty clouds.

Main attractions

Auspicious dragon out of the valley

Along the highway from wangmangling into the xiyagou boundary soon, you can overlook the whole xiyagou valley. In the field of vision, the most striking is the cement paved highway connecting Shanxi and Henan provinces. It is like a silver gray long dragon circling from Wangmang mountain, entering Xiya Valley, then winding south along the canyon in the valley, flying out of the canyon. The dragon's body appears and disappears in the Green Valley, and auspicious clouds and auspicious atmosphere float in the sky. This landscape is called "Xianglong Valley". The last section of Xianglong is the highway from wangmangling to xiyagou, and the front section of Xianglong is the highway from Xiya to Huilong scenic area in Henan Province. The pavement works were completed in 2003 and April 2004 respectively.

Wang Mang enters the cave

From wangmangling to xiyagou, the road twists and turns in the valley. Looking down from a line of mountains in the sky, it looks like a python drilling into the valley, and then into the cave of the hanging wall road. This landscape is called "Wang Mang enters the cave".

Thin strip of sky

The road spirals down from wangmangling and reaches into the valley of xiyagou. After several sharp turns, in front of the steep slope from east to west, a stone bar with a height of two or three meters appears. The road passes through the stone bar. Through the stone, you can only see a line of sky from a distance, so it is called "a line of sky".

Mother and son guard the pass

50 meters in front of a line of sky, on the outside of the road, you can see a column shaped stone peak towering, tall and straight. Next to the stone peak, there is a lower column shaped stone peak, which is accompanied by the high one and looks like mother and son. It seems that mother and son are guarding the main pass of xiyagou. It is called "mother and son guarding the pass".

one pillar to prop up the sky

Looking up from the operation road under the hillside of "mother and son guarding the pass", you can only see one of the two stone peaks of mother and son just now, and the "son peak" is blocked by the "mother peak"; because you look up from below, the mother peak appears more towering and straight, like a giant pillar of Optimus. Therefore, this landscape is also called "a pillar of heaven".

Bajie Wangfeng

From "mother and son guarding the pass" down the slope, you can see a protruding rock on the steep slope to the West outside the entrance of the cave on the guabi highway. Its shape is similar to that of Zhu Bajie in journey to the West. It seems that it is carrying out a mountain patrol task. Standing at a high place, you can see where there are monsters. This landscape is known as "Bajie Wangfeng".

even the rocks nod in approval during one 's preaching

On the cliff to the east of "Bajie Wangfeng", there is another protruding cliff. Its head and neck are just like human beings and animals. It can't be named strong. It looks like a stubborn stone. But this "stubborn stone" seems to be listening, not knowing what it is listening to. It turned out that on the high slope to the north of him, there was a stone Buddha sitting upright. It seemed that he was preaching and enlightening this one. At this time, if you look at the "stubborn stone", it seems that if you have some understanding, you are nodding your head and saying yes, and his appearance is much more spiritual, as if he has been reborn through the Enlightenment of the Buddha. This landscape is called "stubborn stone nodding".

Longkou xuanzhu

It is also called "Longkou xuanzhu". This landscape can be seen on the cliff outside the hanging wall highway when passing by car or on foot. "Xuanzhu" is a large pebble shaped like a goose egg, with a diameter of more than one meter and a weight of about one ton. Such a big and round stone is rare everywhere, but it appears on the cliff named "Longkou", which is just in line with the ancient saying that "Longkou contains beads". What's more wonderful is that such a big and heavy round stone does not fall on the ground, but is just hanging in the crevice between the two peaks It's really mysterious. Therefore, this landscape is called "Longkou xuanzhu" or "Longkou xuanzhu". There is also a legend about this "xuanzhu": there is a treasure in the Longkou of xiyagou. When this treasure is born, the people in the ditch will be able to turn over and live a good life. However, for many years, people did not know where the treasure was buried, and the villagers had been living a hard life in the siege of the mountains. After the completion of the hanging wall Road, people found this pebble in the crack of the cliff on the side of the road, and they didn't care about it very much. They always called it "swan egg". More than ten years later, Gouli people have been on the road of prosperity day by day and have a good life. Only when they think of the legend of the old people and realize that the huge "swan egg" is the Pearl in the mouth of the dragon.

Pine shade in the garden of steles

The stele garden is located on a hill in the south of Qinglong outside xiyagou village, covering an area of about 2.5 mu. There are more than 100 stone steles in the garden, which are divided into three parts: the front, the middle and the back, surrounded by bluestone footpaths. Yuanwang stele garden is covered with green pines. It is full of vigor and uprightness. People think of xiyagou people's heroic spirit of hard struggle and hard work in those years, and the life philosophy of "the predecessors planted trees, the descendants enjoyed the cool". Most of the inscriptions were written by celebrities from all walks of life, praising the achievements of road construction and the spirit of Yugong. Some of the inscriptions recorded the contributions of individual units to support road construction, which shows the influence of xiyagou spirit at that time. In summer, it's not only a relaxing enjoyment, but also a spiritual baptism to visit the tablet garden, observe the tablet inscriptions in the shade of pine, remember the history of xiyagou people walking out of the mountains and think about life.

Qinglong Lake

Qinglong lake is to the north of Beiyuan, the end of Qinglong valley. The villagers adapted measures to local conditions and built dams on the rivers here to become lakes. The depth of the lake is 15.6 meters, and the water is clear to the bottom. The surface of the lake is green, and the mountains are reflected in it, which is charming. People often paint and photograph on the rocks beside the lake. In summer, people swim in the lake. There is another story about the origin of the name of Qinglong lake. When the bridge was built, a big green snake, seven or eight feet long, suddenly appeared on the construction site. It stayed from morning to afternoon, so the construction could not be carried out normally, and people did not know what to do. Later, it was said that this snake must have been practicing here for many years, and it would not leave until it was granted a title. So he burned incense and prayed, and promised that after the completion of the lake, it would be called "Qinglong bridge". Sure enough, after a while, the snake left quietly.

Qinglong Valley

From Qinglong lake to the East, between madongling and Shizhong mountain (commonly known as Beishan), there is a valley about two kilometers long, which runs east-west. It is called Qinglong valley. At the front of Qinglong Valley, in front of Dongya village, the river bed of Shipan falls in a ladder shape from east to west, and the stream flows down, forming a waterfall. The green trees on both sides of the river are mixed together, and the shade is thick, which makes it very quiet. The back section of Qinglong Valley is to the east of Dongya village. The boulders in the valley are Leilei, and the river is gurgling. The sound of the waves is like thunder. At the end of Qinglong Valley, like the bottom of a gourd, it is called "hulushuang". The Qiya cliff is surrounded in an arc, and the beautiful peaks of Bijia mountain and Dongshan mountain stand on it. It is majestic, elegant, and different from the common customs.

Mannose source

The source of nectar is at the north end of xiyagou and the end of Ligou, which is the source of Xiangshui river. It is the most suitable place to visit when the weather is sunny and hot. The water of ganluyuan is clear and sweet. It's good to make tea and cook. It is said that drinking this water can also clear the mind, remove trouble and cure many diseases. Another three or four kilometers from ganluyuan to the depth of Ligou, there is a place called "xiangshuixianyuan", where you can only hear the sound of flowing water, but you can't see where the water is. The villagers used to dig there to find water, but they couldn't find it. It is said that the sound of water heard there is not the sound of running water in the world, but the real "immortal source". After drinking the water there, you will never be thirsty, and you can live forever and become immortal.

Water ladder ascends the clouds

About 300 meters to the southwest of "ganluyuan", between laobalang mountain and shennvfeng mountain, there is a steep and narrow gully, which plunges into Xiangshui river at the bottom of Ligou valley. This gully has a unique and vivid name called "shuitigou", which means that the water in the gully is like a ladder, reaching up to the top of the mountain and into the clouds. In winter and spring, there is no water in the ditch, and the rocks are rolling; in summer, it is rainy, and the top of the mountain is often covered by clouds, and the trees are thick and shady in the ditch. In the green, a white wave is surging down from the high place, as if it were a silver ladder from the sky. It is said that if you climb up the water ladder, you can travel in the sky.
