As a small city in the north of Henan in the Central Plains, Hebi does not have a strong presence in the whole province of Henan.
However, what is known to the public is that this is the cradle of the Fengshenbang story, and its earliest history can be traced back to the period of Emperor Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty three thousand years ago.
Qi County, which is under the jurisdiction of Hebi City, is also stained with a lot of mysterious history.
There is a saying in "The Book of Songs": "Qishui is full of water, and gradually the car is covered with clothes." The Qishui mentioned in this sentence is the Qi River that surrounds Qi County and Qibin District.
Qishui is as clear as jade all year round, and the water quality is so clean that it is no exaggeration to say that it has nourished a person.
In history, many literati and poets came here to express their emotions. There are 13 articles describing the scenery of Qihe in the "Book of Songs" alone.
The Qihe Waterway passes through Hejia Village and Xujiagou Village. If you are interested, you can also go to the village to have a look.
The local specialty, silk-coated duck eggs, is often sold in the village, which is one of the delicacies often eaten by the locals.
Chaoyang Mountain was originally the location of the Forbidden City of the Yin Dynasty. In the past, King Zhou of the Yin Dynasty often came here to stay in the palace for heating in winter.
At the bottom of the mountain is Chaoyang Temple. The temple is built on the mountain, standing on a cliff with soaring eaves.
If viewed from a distance, the entire temple looks like a pavilion, so it is also called "Xuankong Temple".
Chaoyang Mountain is neither high nor steep as a whole, so it is very suitable for short-distance fitness.
Climbing up the mountain road slowly, you will see Pudu Bridge in a few minutes. Its name inevitably reminds people of Buddhism's mission to save all sentient beings. It seems that walking through this bridge can keep you away from the troubles of the world.
The water under the bridge is clear and clear. In the morning when there are not many people around, the water looks even more peaceful, which makes people’s minds clear.
Pass through this mountain and go down another road, and you will soon reach Qingliang Temple.
The appearance of Qingliang'an is brightly colored, and it feels like a bright red pops out of the heavy dry stone.
At noon in the temple, there will be a dedicated chef who will make a dish of noodles, so if you want to try it, it’s not a bad idea.
Guring Mountain is also one of the famous scenic spots in Qi County, located near the Dashi Rock in Qi County.
At the door stands a stone statue of Nuwa patching up the sky, with twelve zodiac patterns carved underneath.
After entering the door and walking forward, there will be two roads in a few minutes. One road is full of windmills, and the other leads to the creek at the foot of the mountain.
If you go with your children, you can play in the water.
Walking towards the place with the windmill, it won't take long to see the mountain range and the bright sunshine through the shade of the trees.
When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see a golden stone statue. It is said that it was built in memory of Emperor Xuanwu.
Continuing forward, there is a Wuliang Tower. There is a large mural on the back of the tower, with some characters from ancient mythology engraved on it.
After viewing the scenic spots, you can go down the mountain. There are more people on the way down, so it is difficult to get separated.
If you are tired, you can also choose the slide built by the public park. You can quickly reach a place not far from the foot of the mountain by riding the slide.
Qixian rice wine is also one of Qixian’s famous specialties.
As early as the Shang Dynasty, there was a saying that rice wine was brewed in the city.
The word "food" here refers to meals, and brewing refers to wine making.
Among the wine utensils unearthed from the tombs of the Yin Dynasty, some copper pots still contained a liquid similar to the flavor of rice wine.
It can be seen that it is absolutely true that wine existed in the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the wine culture in Qixian County lasted for a long time and became one of the local specialties.
