This article participates in the Council.
On the last day of the National Day Golden Week, we couldn't resist the feeling of traveling, and we drove from Pingcheng District, Datong City, with the idea of rubbing against the tourism fever in our hometown and not wasting precious holidays. We drove in the rich autumn colors, passed through the idyllic villages in hun yuan, and came to the Mount Hengshan scenic spot in Beiyue, one of the five mountains. Appreciate its unique beautiful scenery and explore the true meaning of this birthplace of Taoism, which often appears in martial arts novels.
Datong, the ancient city of Saibei, is one of the first historical and cultural cities in China. It has unique tourism resources, and there are countless famous tourist attractions in its area. In particular, the Yungang Grottoes and Mount Hengshan in Beiyue, which are well-known at home and abroad, are the places of interest that attract worldwide attention.
the tourists in the scenic spot and the vehicles in the parking lot are similar to what I expected before my trip. For tourists from other provinces and long distances, most of them are already on their way home because the holiday will end soon, the expressway will resume normal charges at 1: 11 pm and many other reasons.
There are parking spaces in the parking lot, and tourists queue up at the ticket office in an orderly manner to buy tickets. There is no phenomenon that people are restricted from entering the scenic spot because of congestion, which I am happy to see. I'm in a good mood if I don't feel blocked!
Tickets for Mount Hengshan scenic spot in Beiyue: 45 yuan, compared with other scenic spots, this price is really not expensive, which is generally acceptable to tourists. It is necessary to say nothing and pay for the ticket.
Warm reminder, after buying the tickets, do you have to decide which way to go up the mountain in advance? There are three different ways to visit the scenery of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue-by cable car, 71 yuan. Take a tour bus, 13 yuan. On foot: 1 yuan.
hiking is time-consuming and laborious, and it is generally a favorite way for young backpackers and mountain climbers. Rely on your own feet, climb up step by step, and all the grass, trees, sights and objects along the way will be brought into your eyes, and there will definitely be a different kind of harvest.
taking the cable car saves time and effort, which is undoubtedly the quickest way to climb the mountain. Overlooking the panoramic view of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue from mid-air, it is definitely much easier to have a parallel tour, one scenic spot at a time, without the fatigue of climbing, and it is a good choice.
it's economical to take a tour bus. It saves half the time and effort to take the tour bus to the parking lot halfway up the mountain. Climbing up one step at a time, while enjoying the scenic spots along the way and the natural scenery on both sides of the road, I feel that this way is in line with the original intention of people to travel and is the best choice for most tourists.
hiking is not an option at our age. Taking the cable car and the tourist bus, these two options make us a little entangled.
My wife and I are in good health. We can climb a mountain and walk a little. Although it takes some effort, we can basically cope. Therefore, we chose to take the tour bus up the mountain.
together with many tourists, we walked to the tourist bus. A lifelike statue of Zhang Guolao riding a donkey, one of the Eight Immortals, attracted people's attention, and everyone took photos as a souvenir. Following the immortal's footsteps, we started a trip to Mount Hengshan in Beiyue.
The comfortable tourist bus pulled us up along the rugged Panshan Road; The more we went up, the more beautiful the scenery became. We arrived at the parking lot halfway up the mountain without any danger.
A group of dozens of people got off the bus and checked in, and entered the real scenic spot of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue. People came to Zhenwu Temple on the right, and turned around in the temple according to their different interests and purposes of traveling.
Some people touch a "Fu" sign in front of the temple to pray for the whole family. Some people go to the temple to worship the Emperor Xuanwu, offering incense on a pillar, bowing down devoutly, or crossing their hands silently, praying for a long life and peace, which is everyone's wish. Some people, before the "Four Doctors Loose" in the Tang Dynasty, lamented unceasingly. After thousands of years of wind and frost, they have lost their former style, but their towering and straight posture stands there like fossils, winning people to take pictures as a souvenir.
Most tourists from other places are here for the first time. They don't know that the next journey is quite long, and the good scenery is still to come. They look at the temple before and after, and they shoot left and right, but they can't come out.
We are locals, and it's not our first time here. Without the slightest hesitation, we walked out of the temple gate and climbed up the mountain along the stone steps. Because we know that the most beautiful scenery is on the way to climb the mountain, on the towering mountain.
Mount Hengshan in Beiyue has 18 famous landscapes. They are-Yunge Hongqiao, Yunlu Chunxiao, Tiger Mouth Hanging Pine, Fruit Old Fairy Traces, Dangerous Rocks Sunset, Birds Singing on Cliffs, Flying Rocks in Deep Caves, Sweet and Bitter Longquan, Maoku Fireworks, Golden Rooster Dawn, Jade Sheep Swimming Clouds, Ziyu Yunhua, Cave Flowing Clouds, Fairy House Drunken Moon, Yi Tai Ming Qin, Fat Picture Brocade, Yue Ding Song Feng, Magnetic Gorge Smoke. Every landscape has its own reasons, which covers the eternal vicissitudes, heavy history, folklore, celebrity allusions and unsolved mysteries. It can be said that the landscape is unique and has its own merits.
Due to the age, wind and rain, transformation and other reasons, as well as the restriction of tourism by climate, time and other factors, several landscapes have lost their original appearance. However, most of the landscape remains the same. In a word, many strange sights of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue are worth tourists' possession.
The current road is much wider than the previous narrow path. Dangerous places are protected by fences, which is relatively safe and not so difficult to climb.
In the late autumn of Hengshan Mountain in Beiyue, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and the trees are lush. There are birds singing from time to time in the forest, an autumn wind blowing, and pines blowing in my ears. An eagle hovers over the mountain, patrolling its territory, and my wife and I walk in between, and a sense of comfort arises spontaneously.
A pair of middle-aged men and women from other places, leading their parents who are nearly 71 years old and a pair of children, walked with us; Behind me, followed by a pair of young lovers. There are many people, talking and laughing, and enjoying the beautiful little scenic spots along the way, so you don't feel tired when you climb the mountain.
After a while, we came to Guolaoling through Hufengkou, Hanggensong and Jinlongkou, and we carefully looked at the small round pits on the stone that looked like donkey's hoof prints. I thought to myself, Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals, rode a donkey up a narrow path in rugged Nanning. When he got here, he was exhausted. Plus, this stone was slippery and left traces. It's a kind of fate to be here today!
We continued to climb up, but we saw classical and magnificent Taoist temples with red walls and yellow roofs, which lived by cliffs, which was also a major attraction of Hengshan Mountain.
In front of a temple, we had a short rest and saw two tourists feeding five stray cats, so we went around. They are cute and shiny, with black, yellow and white fur; One of the white cats, as if frightened, jumped from the ground and climbed up a strange leopard elm tree with agility. This has somewhat added a little fun to the tired tourists who climb the mountain.
There are six people from other places in that family, who are sitting in a bitter and sweet well and their money is stagnant, but the young lovers are still closely behind us. I have my own goal in mind, that is, the main temple of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue, Hengzong Hall.
When we walked into Chongling Gate and looked at the steep steps of 113 with an angle of 41 degrees, I hesitated. When I used to come here, I went up from here every time, but I was still young. Now, it's like a difficult problem in front of me. It's too dangerous to go up, not to mention my wife. Even my body may not be able to do it. We had to choose to climb from the relatively gentle path next to us. The young lovers, hesitant, followed us.
The ultimate goal of our trip to Hengshan Mountain is the Hengzong Temple, which is the main hall of the temples in Hengshan Mountain. Every time I came here in the past, I chose to turn back down the mountain after sightseeing the surrounding scenery.
We came to the front of the Mountain Temple, and my hands were folded, and I prayed for the blessing of my relatives and the safety of my family.
Then we visited the Jade Emperor Temple, the Temple of Sorrow, the Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Guandi, and visited the Imperial Monument Pavilion, a tall stone tablet that preserved the handwriting inscribed by Emperor Kangxi's imperial brush. Although it has been weathered for a long time, I am still in awe.
I wanted to call it a day, so I'll call it a day and end the trip. Disembarking, people came down from the top of the high mountain one after another. I couldn't help but go forward and ask what happened. I heard people describe the scenery of the peak and the stone tablet that marked the height of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue at 2116.1 meters above sea level. We are inevitably eager to move and have the idea of reaching the top. I admire my wife's courage very much. She said, "Since we have come to Hengshan Mountain, why don't we go to the summit and have a look!" "
The young man among the lovers who followed us asked me, "Uncle, do you think it's meaningful for us to climb up?" I definitely have to answer: "Of course it makes sense, for faith, for faith." The young man said to the pretty girl who was a little weak, "Uncle said, if we want to climb to the top for faith, we will also climb to the top."
the road to the top of the mountain is easier said than climbed. A series of steep stone steps, one side is an abyss, and the other side is a cliff that is in danger of falling rocks. Seriously, we are all tired and panting, relying on tenacious perseverance and firm belief to support us and slowly climb up bit by bit.
The process of reaching the summit is very hard. We stop and go, and we want to give up the summit several times. On the way, a young couple in Lu Yu, they took turns to climb up with a child over one year old; There is also a hunchbacked man in his sixties, gasping for air and climbing up. The lovers behind me, the girl wearing thin clothes, slowly moved up exhausted, the young man lovingly put his coat on the girl and pulled him up slowly with his hand; All these touched me and strengthened my determination to reach the top.
It took us nearly an hour to finally climb Tianfengling, the peak of Mount Heng. The autumn wind is rustling on the mountain, and that stone tablet engraved with an altitude of 2116.1 meters stands there impressively. We were ecstatic when we saw the stone tablet, and we made it to the top. At that moment, the hardships we paid to climb Mount Heng were completely released.
Many people have gathered at the peak of Hengshan Mountain. Some of them are sitting on the ground to have a rest, others are enjoying the success of the summit, and more people gather around the stone tablet to take pictures.
The young couple with their children in their arms hurriedly asked me to help him leave the precious scene of their family reaching the summit. The hunchbacked man in his 61s couldn't wait to turn on his mobile phone to shoot a video. He spoke a strong Zhejiang dialect into his mobile phone and said, "I'm now on the top of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue." The young lovers embraced each other intimately, and after reaching the summit together, they loved each other even more.
As far as I can see, I seem to be in the blue sky and white clouds. There are continuous mountains in the vicinity, and the vast and boundless Datong Basin in the distance. There are winding rivers flowing, and there is my hometown. On the mountain are vigorous and tall trees, guarding the respect of Hengshan Mountain; At the foot of the mountain is a green water, which is like the spring of life of Mount Hengshan in Beiyue.
We are glad that we can successfully climb Mount Hengshan in Beiyue, overlooking the scenery of the north from a height and enjoying the great rivers and mountains of the motherland! Good tourist attractions in Hengshan Mountain

The Hanging Temple is about 58 meters high from the ground, and the top Sanjiao Temple is 91 meters high from the ground. Its architectural features can be summarized as "singularity, suspension and ingenuity". Strange-looking at the Hanging Temple from a distance, it looks like a relief embedded in a cliff. When you look closely, it has the potential to fly in the air. Hanging-There are 41 halls and pavilions in the whole temple. On the surface, it seems that they are supported by more than a dozen wooden pillars with thick bowls. In fact, some wooden pillars are not stressed at all.
Jinlong Gorge
Jinlong Gorge is located between Tianfengling and Cuiping Peak. The canyon is deep, the cliff stands on its side, and the stone is covered with blue sky, and the narrowest part is less than three feet. This is a natural barrier from ancient times to the present, and the traffic is urgent. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Daowu sent tens of thousands of troops to cut mountains and tunnels here as a gateway to the Central Plains. In the Song Dynasty, Yang Ye and his son took risks here to resist foreign invasion. In Jinlong Gorge, there is an ancient plank road winding around the middle of the cliff, which is called "Yunge".
Datong
Hengshan Cloud
Hengshan Cloud is ever changing. Izumo Cave is not far from the mountainside of Lady Houtu Temple. The sunny day is clear, the hole is silent, and when the rain comes, white clouds swim out of the hole.

Beiyue Temple was built in Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty (AD 1511-1512), which is the most magnificent one in Hengshan Temple. It is located under the stone wall on the south side of Dafeng Mountain, the main peak of Hengshan Mountain. In front of it, there are 113 stone steps leading to the front and lower reaches of the mountain gate, and there are four characters "Hall of Zhenyuan" at the gate of Beiyue Temple. There is a long couplet on the side of the door, the first couplet is: "Hengyue is the only one in the Central Plains who has been educated by horses and sheep for 311 years"; The bottom line is "Wenchang Six-Star Alliance Beidou is a real talent, carving dragons and embroidering tigers and shooting at the sky".
