Tiangui mountain

Located in Pingshan County, 90 kilometers northwest of Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province. It is a famous mountain and ancient temple type scenic spot in northern China. In 2001, it was awarded the national AAAA tourist area. In 2002, it was approved by the State Council as a national key scenic spot. In 2003, it was awarded the "National Youth Civilization" unit by the National Tourism Administration and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League.

The total area of the scenic spot is 132.5 square kilometers. In the territory, there are many strange peaks, strange rocks, caves and springs, luxuriant forests and flowers, surrounded by clouds and fog, and numerous ancient temples. It not only has the natural scenery of male and beautiful blend, but also has the noble charm of royal gardens and the solemn momentum and mysterious color of Taoist fairy mountains. It is commonly known as "Royal Taoist temple" and "northern Guilin", and is a magnificent and wonderful garden in China's famous mountains and rivers.

In February 2020, in order to pay tribute to the vast number of medical workers fighting in the front line of prevention and control, Tianguishan will provide free tours for medical workers with doctor's and nurse's certificates from the date of resumption of operation to December 31, 2020.

geographical position

Tiangui mountain is located in Beiye Township, southwest of Pingshan County, Hebei Province, in the middle part of Taihang Mountain. Its geographical coordinates are 113 ° 38 ′ e to 113 ° 51 ′ E and 38 ° 9 ′ n to 38 ° 17 ′ n. It is 80 kilometers away from Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, in the East, 35 kilometers away from Xibaipo, the holy land of revolution, and 30 kilometers away from the famous hot spring resort in North China. The scenic area covers an area of 132.5 square kilometers from the dangerous overflow Valley in the East, the boundary of Beiye Township in the west, Zhaojiagou baishuzhuang Beiye chexing road in the north, the boundary of province (county, township) in the southwest, and Yuxian County in Shanxi Province in the south.

Tianguishan is bordered by Yuxian County in Shanxi Province in the west, the famous mimishui eco-tourism area in the south, the first peak in Pingshan County in the north, and the beautiful and rich North China Plain in the East. When you climb wanghaifeng, you can see Gangnan Reservoir and Huangbizhuang reservoir from afar, just like two bright pearls inlaid in North China.

Geology and geomorphology

geological conditions

Tianguishan scenic spot is located in the northern margin of Jingxing sag in Taihang uplift belt of Neocathaysian tectonic system. Paleozoic limestone is widely exposed in the area. Only in the northern margin of sanqingfeng and the northern slope of chaqinao, there are ancient Archean metamorphic rocks. In addition, red quartz sandstone and sandy shale of Mesoproterozoic Changcheng system are exposed on both sides of the bottom of deep valley of sanqingfeng and Ertan cliff on the north slope of chaqinao and the downstream of dangerous overflow River and yanweigou. The limestone of Cambrian and Ordovician in Paleozoic constitutes the main part of the mountain peak in the scenic spot, which is in pseudoconformity contact with the red quartz sandstone of Changcheng System in Mesoproterozoic. The lower Cambrian system is composed of grayish yellow and purplish red calcareous dolomite and shale; the Middle Cambrian system is composed of grayish yellow and gray medium thick bamboo leaf limestone, Oolitic Limestone and siltstone; the upper Cambrian system is composed of yellowish gray super thick and thick medium crystalline dolomite, small bamboo leaf dolomite limestone and argillaceous strip limestone. The overlying lower middle Ordovician strata are composed of thick limestone and leopard skin limestone. They are exposed on the shajiutuo caodoushan ridge and the southern provincial boundary ridge, and are in conformity with the Cambrian strata. At the foot of the south slope of Tianguishan mountain, the yanweigou formation is inclined to se 160 ° and the dip angle is 5-7 °.

Geomorphological features

The terrain of the scenic spot inclines from southwest to northeast (dangerous overflow Valley). The highest peak is located at heigoujian on the border with Shanxi, with an altitude of 1426 meters, followed by shajiutuo, with an altitude of 1296 meters, and Sanqing peak, the main scenic area of Tiangui mountain, with an altitude of 1054 meters. The dangerous overflow valley of Hefang village is 310 meters above sea level, which is the lowest part of the scenic spot. Generally, the relative elevation difference is 400-600 meters. For example, the parking lot on the south side of Sanqing peak in Tiangui mountain is 540 meters above sea level, and the relative elevation difference is 500 meters up and down. There are more than 30 peaks with an altitude of more than 1000 meters in the scenic spot. Except Sanqing peak and Wanghai peak, which are the main scenic spots of Tiangui mountain, they are mainly distributed in shajiutuo Cuiping caodoo mountain and a series of ridges extending along the provincial boundary. Because the mountain is almost entirely composed of Cambrian and Ordovician limestone, the typical karst landform of middle and low mountains in the middle part of Taihang Mountain is formed.

From north to south, the mountains and valleys are in the order of big overpass - small overpass - chaqinao - sanqingfeng - wanghaifeng, etc.; Yanwei valley; shajiutuo - Cuiping mountain - caodoo mountain; jingziyu - mimishui valley; heigoujian mountain ridge extending southeast along the provincial boundary, showing a geomorphic pattern of three mountains with two valleys (Gullies) The edge is the dangerous overflow valley. In addition to the joint action of internal and external forces such as cliff collapse, the topography features of high mountain, deep valley and broken terrain are formed. In addition, due to the strong stage uplift of the crust in the neotectonic movement, the rock strata here are close to the horizontal, and the mountains are mostly in the form of ladder like cliffs and narrow stacks. Some of the mountain tops remain planation surface, forming a flat top mountain, some of them are further developed, and the ridge line of the mountain top is a wall like mountain in the shape of beam, as well as peak clusters and isolated peaks. There are some typical karst landforms in warm temperate zone, such as grotesque rock landforms, karst caves, Tianqiao and Tianshengqiao.

The characteristics of karst landforms in the scenic spot are as follows: 1) various types; 2) typical landforms; 3) high aesthetic value and scientific research value. Restricted by the warm temperate climate (mainly temperature and precipitation), the development of karst landforms here is not as good as that in tropical and subtropical regions. However, on the whole, there are not only strange peaks and rocks, but also karst caves in geological history, with many types of landforms.

The types of surface karst landforms include Shiya (small stone forest), rongkeng, xiaoronggou, Gufeng, shidun, Shiqiang, Shizhu, fengcong, Tianshengqiao, Huokou, etc. Underground karst landforms are mainly karst caves, with large karst caves of more than 1000 meters, such as the Yinhe cave. But most of them are small and medium-sized caves tens of meters deep, such as Zhenwu cave under Qinglong temple. There are also lower pit like spring caves, and perforating caves developed to the late stage. Because of the uplift of the earth's crust, the karst caves here are mostly distributed between the cliffs between Ertan and Santan. They have been separated from the water table for a long time. The calcium carbonate deposition landforms such as stalactite are not developed in the cave, but the dissolution and erosion landforms in the cave are very typical.

Climate and hydrology

climatic conditions

Tianguishan scenic spot belongs to warm temperate semi humid continental monsoon climate type, but because it is located in mountainous area, high altitude, and has obvious mountain climate characteristics, compared with Pingshan County and eastern plain climate, it is cooler and wetter, and the vertical distribution ratio of climate from valley bottom to peak is more obvious.

According to the investigation and analysis, the annual average temperature of Tianguishan is 8-11 ℃, which is 2-3 ℃ lower than Pingshan County. The monthly average temperature of the hottest month (July) is about 20 ℃ on the mountain, 6-7 ℃ lower than Pingshan County, and 7 ℃ lower than Shijiazhuang city. The cool climate in summer provides climate conditions for summer. The average temperature of the coldest month (January) is about - 4 ℃, which is lower than that of Pingshan County. The East-West mountains block the cold current of the north wind, and the flowers bloom earlier in spring on the sunny slope. The annual precipitation in Tianguishan is 649-690mm (633.2mm in Beiye township), about 110mm more than that in Pingshan County. The precipitation in July and August is the most, accounting for 65-70% of the whole year. The precipitation in January, December and spring is less, but there are often cold wave and snowfall weather, snow cover on shady slope, and snow melt in some years until April. The snow is melting, and ice hanging landscape can be seen in some gully cliff. The annual precipitation of Tiangui mountain has a large interannual variation, with a relative variation rate of 29%. For example, the annual precipitation in 1963 was more than 910 mm, the difference between the maximum annual precipitation and the minimum annual precipitation was 670 mm, and floods often occurred in rainy years. In summer, there is much rainfall in Tiangui mountain, and the warm air flow often goes up along the East and West valleys. At the same time,
