Sanmeng Mountain is the commanding height of Lingshou hilly area and the center from Shijiazhuang to Wutai Mountain. It covers an area of 32 square kilometers, the elevation of the main peak is 1248 meters, and the forest coverage rate is 90%. Feiyu Village in the core area of Sanmeng Mountain is surrounded by cliffs nearly 200 meters high, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. In history, some people have occupied the mountains here several times. Up to now, the top of the village is 35 mu of flat land, and nearly 30 stone mortars have been preserved. It is conceivable that the buildings in the past were quite large. Amazingly, one of the cliffs has a large stone Buddha with a height of 1 12 meters, which is natural and spectacular. There are 9 ancient temples and 1 eye-young spring on the mountain about 500 meters away from Dashi Buddha. There is water all year round, and it will not dry up or overflow. The scenery of Sanmeng Mountain is diverse, especially in Wafangtai Village, where fruit trees are in forests, terraces are everywhere, and bridges are flowing, which has a sense of idyllic scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Among the many scenic spots in Lingshou, Wulangzhai wins with many cultural relics and strong cottage atmosphere. Wulong Village in Chen Zhuang Town is not too big, only 15 square kilometers, 40 kilometers away from Lingshou County, with Cihe River in the south and Shihu Gold Mine in the north. It is one mile away from Chen Zhuang, an important town, and is connected with the landscape of Hengshan Lake. It is another scenic spot with a long history in hilly areas. It is said that Yang Wulang camped here to guard against the enemy. The scenery at the top of Wulangzhai Village is the most attractive. A 100 mu platform is supported on the cliff at an altitude of 1000 meters. It is as flat as a field and divided into four parts: Nanzhai, Beizhai, Xiaozhai and Leigutai. There are stone pestle, stone mortar, stone mill, flagpole hole, military camp and city wall ruins.

On the side of Dongzhaimen, the cliff is steep, the valley is deep, the peaks are protruding, and the natural stone platform is towering into the sky, which is Yang Wulang's "beating drums" to repel enemy soldiers. On the cliff at the south gate, Goro is looking forward to the "Wangjing Terrace" for reinforcements and the four Chinese characters "Goro goes to Wutai Mountain" that Goro hates becoming a monk. Even if you are weather-beaten, you can see that the font is bold and powerful, and the style is rough.

Most of the mountains in the east of Taihang Mountain are northwest-southeast, as are the mountains and peaks in Lingshou. However, between Chen Zhuang Town and Chatou Town, there is a mountain "horizontal" here, in the opposite direction, southwest-northeast, and the terrain suddenly rises here. Since ancient times, Hengshan Pass has been the only traffic tunnel connecting Lingshou Mountain and Lingshou County to Chen Zhuang. Besides, there is no way to get in and out of this mountain. A Hengshan Mountain cuts Lingshou County in the middle, and its strategic position is very important. Chen Zhuang Town at the foot of Hengshan Mountain has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. This is also the reason why the tourist landscape in Lingshou hilly area today is full of historical and humanistic atmosphere.

Hengshanling Reservoir is a large national reservoir, with a perennial water area of10.6 million mu. It is also known as Hengshan Lake, surrounded by mountains and trees, and it is a large-scale landscape natural scenic spot deeply loved by people. Standing on the east bank of the reservoir area, the "Chen Zhuang Monument to the War of annihilation" and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier silently remind future generations that during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, this was the battlefield of the war of annihilation in Chen Zhuang under the personal command of Marshal He Long. Chen Zhuang Museum of the War of Destruction has become a patriotic education base, attracting hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life to pay their respects and cherish their memory every year.

Youju Temple is the most shining historical landscape in hilly areas. Located in Shazidong Village, Zhaitou Township, this temple was built during the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Buddhist architecture and sculpture art of the hermit temple in the Northern Qi Dynasty have distinct local characteristics, especially the Buddhist statues, which have soft lines, rich rhythms, simple but dynamic movements, smiling instead of smiling on their faces, subtle atmosphere and enduring, reaching a height that future generations can't reach.

Walking around the land of Lingshou, people have to sigh the wonders of nature and the endless vitality and charm of this land.
