Main attractions

Tongtian Lake

The ancients said that the charm of mountains lies in water. Hongtiguan Tongtian gorge in Pingshun, Shanxi Province, has more charm and delicacy because of water. Most of the water in the North

Simple and unadorned, however, the water of Tongtian gorge is amazing and shocking! Tongtian Lake collects natural spring water from the canyon, covering an area of about 20000 square meters, with the deepest depth of 13 meters. The lake water is cool and pure, and contains a variety of minerals beneficial to human body. Under different sunlight, it presents unpredictable colors, such as jade, like a dream, like a piece of blue sky falling into the mountains. The Castle Peak sword around the lake usually plunges into the sky. Looking up, it feels like Mount Tai is on the top of the mountain. The Castle Peak is towering and the water is as clear as a belt, just like a man stretching his arms to take care of a sleeping girl. Across the lake are two small wooden bridges, which can be described as small bridges and lakes. They have unique scenery. I don't know whether people are swimming in the painting or painting at their feet. It makes people intoxicated and happy.

Shiping mountain

Hongtiguan Tongtian gorge in Pingshun, Shanxi Province, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning passes through the mountains and sprinkles on the top of the huge Shiping mountain, the golden peak is infinitely warm. Pingfeng mountain has stood dignified for hundreds of millions of years, just like the loyal guard guarding Tongtian gorge. Pingfeng mountain is more than 170 meters high and 200 meters long. It is as smooth and straight as a knife and axe. It is like a natural screen, hiding the scenery of the whole valley behind it. According to Chinese geomantic omen, a screen placed at home can block evil stars, avoid disasters and bring good luck. This natural screen will surely bring good luck to tourists. The mountain here is very magical. From the front, it looks like a screen. From the side, it looks like a finger pointing directly at the clouds, so it is also called Shenzhi peak. If you stand at the top of the peak, it looks like a swimming fish. This is "from the horizontal, it looks like a screen, from the side, it becomes a peak, and the perspective is different.".

Monkey Village

In Tongtian lake, there is a small island hidden in the green trees. The island is not big. It is named as monkey village because there are hundreds of macaques living here. Macaque is a common monkey in Taihang Mountain, which is a distant relative of human beings. The genetic similarity is 99%. The monkeys here like to play in the water, like to be close to people, and are good at climbing and jumping. They can swim and imitate people's movements, with happy, angry, sad and happy expressions. These monkeys hold the branches with their long arms and swing leisurely. Some monkeys pick up the food given by tourists while watching the tourists warily. When they pick up the food, they "swish" and "fly" up the mountain to enjoy the beauty Food to go, as if worried that this is a beautiful trap, these greedy and cunning guy! If you like to be close to animals, these monkeys will perform well for you. They are a group of actors who are not modest, waiting for your applause and encouragement!

Water playing square

The water playing square is relatively spacious and flat. The water flow here varies greatly. Just now, the stream is gurgling. After turning the rocks, it will become a waterfall. Stepping up the steps is another scene. The water surface is open and the water flow is clear. In the quiet lake, you can see clearly the water plants swaying in the water. Occasionally, you can see some small fish looking for food in the water plants. The fish are very small and it is said that they don't grow up. Beside the water, willows grow in the water. The red roots of willows float in the water, which is another scenery. There are many kinds of trees growing in the rocks, cliffs and even bare rocks. Their roots are rooted in the poor soil. The developed roots cling to the rocks and grow bravely and arrogantly, just like the simple Taihang people, adapting to the environment and guarding their homes for thousands of years.

Triple waterfall

The triple waterfall cascades down from the three-layer cliff, which is the so-called twists and turns. The white water splashed like a fluffy pearl. The waterfall hugs the water at its feet and makes a deep sound, which can be heard hundreds of meters away. Looking across the top of the waterfall to the mountains, the waterfall is coming from the two mountains in the distance, which makes people excited and eager to explore the spectacular water.

Ice hanging in winter

There is a natural ice hanging on the Nanshan cliff of the triple waterfall, which is 66 meters long and 9.9 meters wide. The ice hanging lasts for half a year from the beginning of winter to May next year. In summer, the spring water is like beads and fog. When you drink, it is as sweet as sweet. If you come here before May, you can see such a spectacle: the white and crystal clear ice hanging and the flying waterfall. The scenery is in this moving and quiet, between water and ice, amazing.

Playing in the pool

Playing in the pool is like a reserved and introverted intellectual woman, quietly undisturbed, which makes the tourists' heart become calm and serene. The huge stones in the water are as neat as knives. The green willows on the bank are long, and the grass in the water is swaying. Sitting on the bank, you can immerse your jade feet in the water. Even in the hot summer, the spring water is still piercing. The book of songs says, "the clear water of the waves can wash my tassels; the muddy water of the waves can muddy my feet." That's about it! Sitting at the edge of the stream and looking up at the surrounding mountains, you will be surprised to find that the rocks on the mountains are not ordinary. Some are like monkeys watching the wind, and some are like horses roaring in the sky.
