The hot summer is a good season for summer vacation and water travel. Among the popular scenic spots that are relatively overcrowded, the scenic spots with few people and beautiful scenery are only favored by tourists. This time, I drove to Taiping Village in Fangshan, Shanxi Province, and found two unique niche secrets, much like a paradise hidden in the Taihang Mountain Canyon.

Taiping Tianchi Scenic Area

In Xitaiping Village, Fangshan, Beijing, there is a small scenic spot "Taiping Tianchi Scenic Area" with original and charming scenery, which is surrounded by mountains, verdant pools and waterfalls, making it an excellent place to play with water and surf in summer.

There is a popular water project here in summer-Taiping Tianchi Wave Treading Square. The colorful wave treading pool is full of magic, and the children are having fun in the water and enjoying the childlike summer.

In the scenic spot, you can not only take your children to surf the waves and play in the water, but also go deep into the canyon and hike along the stream to enjoy the charming natural scenery. You can also sit quietly by the lake and enjoy fishing.

recommended places to play in scenic spots

Taiping Tianchi Tanlang Square, Lingxi Cave, Tianchi Reservoir, Hulutai, Lover's Valley (Huaixian), Peach Blossom Trail (Tanshen), Jinchanxia Waterfall, etc.

There is Taiping Tianchi Ecological Restaurant in the scenic spot, which is located next to Tianchi Reservoir and can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Taste the unique local food once and for all, such as delicious reservoir fish, Taiping small fire (also known as earth moon cake), Taiping old tofu, wild vegetables, small rice and so on.

Happy Macaque Valley

Located in a small scenic spot next to Taiping Tianchi Scenic Area, stepping into Happy Macaque Valley is like coming to the real version of "Huaguo Mountain". Here, there are beautiful mountains and rivers, deep canyons and pleasant scenery. The most eye-catching thing is more than 3 cute macaques. They have thrived here from generation to generation, flying in Monkey Valley and streams, and their lives are happy and comfortable.

Walking along the winding path of Monkey Valley, you can see the small figures of macaques everywhere. Unlike monkeys in other places, these monkeys are cute, don't snatch food, and are polite to tourists. When feeding, they will be gently removed from tourists' hands, which is extremely gentle.

The punch-in points for scenic spots are recommended

Yixiantian, Longtan Waterfall, Dieshi Valley, Shimen Corridor, Mile Mountain Pavilion and other natural scenic spots.

Best viewing recommendation in the scenic spot

Maitreya Pavilion: a viewing platform located on the mountainside, with a wide view. Standing on the platform, the mountains are stacked and the sea of clouds rises, which is magnificent and shocking. From time to time, monkeys will run up to greet tourists.

Two small secret places that are very suitable for summer play, not only the simple and natural original scenery is addictive and the air is fresh, but also the children can play with water and interact with the lovely macaques.
