brief introduction

Yaozigou

Because the valley is located in the east of Datong County, the local people call it Dongxia. According to historical records: "to the east of the county, 60 Li, the mountain soil is fertile, the forest is thick, the pine and cypress are rare, and the surrounding area is as large as several.". The Ningcheng structure is based on "the first building, the second building". Yaozigou is like an emerald inlaid in the south of Dongxia gorge. With its excellent charm and beautiful appearance, yaozigou always shines in the eyes of tourists.

Yaozigou scenic area is like a winding green dragon, winding across Guanghui temple, Dongxia Town, Datong County. It is located on the Bank of Dongxia River, which is green and clear as jade belt. With a total area of 1633 hectares, yaozigou scenic area is a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed secondary forest area with spruce, birch and aspen. There are two explanations for the origin of yaozigou: one is that there are a large number of harriers living in this vast forest area. They gather in the forest and reproduce freely. They regard this place as their paradise, so people call it yaozigou. Second, a ridge in the middle of yaozigou divides the forest into two gullies. The two gullies, together with the ridge, are densely covered with spruce. From afar, it looks like a huge kite spreading its wings and flying by. People call it yaozigou. No matter what kind of legend is reasonable, it is indeed a beautiful natural ecological home.

Inner feelings

In the vast and deep yaozigou, the main landscapes are primitive spruce forest, larch forest and grassland. The quiet and quiet ecological environment makes it an ideal resort for people to climb up and take a sightseeing tour, enjoy mountain recreation, recuperate in the forest, enjoy forest recreation, conduct scientific investigation and enjoy leisure. Here, people can also hold Tibetan tug of war and archery activities with rich ethnic characteristics, experience the life in the mountains, and appreciate the leisure and elegance of living in the mountains and forests.

More than 100 meters from yaozigou gate, the mountain road is divided into two branches, one straight to the East and the other to the south. This is the intersection of yaozigou and gasigou. Local people call this place golden triangle. Here, the forest and grass are slender, forming a unique landscape of rare trees and grass. When you are in it, you can also suck a fresh breath of forest.

Walking in the unpredictable forest area of yaozigou, those tall and dense pines are like natural umbrellas, blocking out the sun and reflecting like ink. In the zigzag forest mountain road, there are tiny light spots shining on both sides of the green weeds and vines, which are like thousands of flowers, adding a mysterious color. Sometimes there is a line of blue sky above the forest area, a strong shadow, interwoven with the Milky clouds. Only a few steps later, the sun is setting on the lawn on one side, but the forest land on the other side is shaded. It's sunny and sunny at the foot of the mountain, and the forest is covered with rain and fog. Occasionally, a rainstorm comes. With the thunder, lightning and thunder, it's like a thousand troops and horses come around in a flash. At this time, as long as you Nestle under the green pines and cypresses, the branches that slant out from the side are like a large awning carefully woven to protect you from dripping water. When the rain is over and the sun is shining, the paths in the woods and the grass in the mountains suddenly become mottled and fresh.

The flowers and fruits in the Bush, like stars, add a lot of flexibility and interest to the empty and silent Yaozi ditch. There are bottle shaped sour ladybugs, ground ladybugs, plum blossoms in May and ripens in July, and rare mountain fruits such as Miandan and yaozizui. Cockscomb grass, staghorn, Nostoc flagelliforme, fern clusters, full of forest grassland, everywhere. Cockscomb and pigeon beak are the unique rare products in yaozigou scenic area. Cockscomb is a kind of fungus growing in moss. If you find one, you can find a clump. Its color is mostly beige and tastes delicious. The size and shape of pigeon's beak are quite similar to pigeon's beak. It also has two nostrils and tastes sweet. Especially those white in yellow, fat fresh, different shapes of mushrooms are even more exciting. Mushroom here is divided into nail mushroom, green Dan mushroom, white mushroom and other varieties, which are rich in nutrition and delicious. After sightseeing, I leaned down and picked up a bunch of grass. I really felt that my trip was worthwhile and full of money.

When you are tired of walking, you can take a rest on the soft grass on both sides of the road. Listen to the sound of the flowing streams, the rustling wind, the roaring pines, and the sound of the rushing springs. These sounds of nature, at this time, quietly gather together a harmonious natural melody, accompanied by the ethereal thoughts, make you into a dreamlike realm. This wonderful natural rhythm obviously resonates with all the birds playing in the forest. Sometimes they stand among the branches and sing loudly, sometimes they fly between the blue sky and white clouds and sing beautifully. It's true: kites don't know where to go, but this is bird paradise.

Every year in midsummer, the vast yaozigou mountains reflect Dai, the streams trickle, the springs murmur, and the balls splash jade. The tall pines in the forest block the sky and the sun. Green pines and green cypresses, the twigs of the trees cross out. Poplar and willow, dense and dense. The pulse is shallow, sometimes hidden, sometimes present, and circuitous. Exotic flowers and herbs, colorful, fragrant. The mountain air is fresh. Cicadas call tall trees and birds sing in secluded streams. In such a wonderful place, people can not help but feel relaxed and happy, nostalgic for the trip.

Standing on the high observation tower of yaozigou, you can see the North Qilian snow mountain line, winding the sky, sunny and elegant. In the south, you can see the Huzhu Valley in the distance. Between the fertile fields in Pingchuan, the fields and villages are crisscross, with colorful flowers. Nanmenxia reservoir, from a distance, looks like an emerald gem inlaid in yellow flowers everywhere. Looking back at Datong County, to the west is Niangniang mountain. The surrounding high and low mountains are vividly visible. Overlooking the East Canyon, a river, like a jade belt, goes westward around the mountain. The layers of wheat fields and rape flowers are shining. Yaozigou peak competition show, Song Jun Diecui. Daban mountain snow reflects the East gorge. Looking at the clouds in the mountains by the hurdles, the clouds come and go, and the Pingshan mountains are far and near. The attic is like floating on Penglai Island in Yinghai, just like a fairyland. The autumn sun is bright and spotless, and the sky is high. When the sun is setting, the sun is shining, and Junfeng Xiushan is covered with a glittering coat.
