Primitive ecology, steep mountains and magical atmosphere. There are nine waterfalls in the valley, forming a huge waterfall group, which is called the largest waterfall group in North China. There are also metamorphic natural bridges, metamorphic rocks of Fuping rock group, glacial relics and disaster geological relics, which are typical and unique.

Zhujiaying Valley is deep and tortuous, wide and clear, and the mountain stream is clear and dense, but the gurgling water always echoes in your ears, sometimes like a magnificent symphony, passionate and unrestrained; Sometimes, like beautiful light music, it brings infinite vitality and vitality to the valley. The cliffs on both sides of the stream are steep, majestic, with strange peaks and rocks, which are lifelike and very realistic. Some are like mighty generals guarding the valley, others are like fierce crocodiles, crawling in the ditch, and the rugged cliffs are very thrilling.

The nine waterfalls in the valley are like nine dragons. They are rushing down the cliff. The largest drop of Yaotai Waterfall112m. The rushing waterfall, like a dancing rainbow, thundered through the top of the mountain. Some waterfalls, such as jade dragon flying, are magnificent, shocking and breathtaking; Now is the dry season, it has another charm. Some waterfalls are splashed with silver flowers, some are like jade curtains, like veils in a moon cage, and a beautiful girl fiddles with the strings, which is very touching. The crisp sound of running water, like a lyric song played by a girl, touches people's heartstrings. The mountain breeze came, bringing a drizzle. Under the sunshine, it is as bright as jade, fluttering in people's faces, fresh and comfortable, and we seem to be bathed in rain and dew. Waterfalls and flowing clouds add a lot of poetic meaning to the deep valley and bring people a lot of leisure.

There is a magnificent natural bridge in the valley, which is the first gneiss overpass discovered in China, 2.8-2.9 billion years ago. This natural bridge was formed by the erosion and collapse of valley waterfalls along cracks, which is rare in China. The bridge deck is composed of pegmatite, which is relatively hard and slightly arched; Tiansheng Bridge is located above Yaotai Waterfall, with a drop of 1 12m, which spans the north and south ends of the Waterfall. Tiansheng Bridge is huge, with a length of 27m, a width of13m and a height of13m. The terrain of Tiansheng Bridge is very steep. Looking down from the bridge is a daunting abyss. The rushing waterfall roared down from under the bridge, forming a 100-meter waterfall, which was magnificent and magnificent. There is a waterfall 60 meters high above Tiansheng Bridge. Climbing the Tiansheng Bridge and entering the back of the waterfall is another wonderful scenery: through the waterfall curtain, you can see white clouds, blue sky, green mountains and green waters and flowers in full bloom. This scene can't help but remind people of the beautiful scenery of Guo Huashan and water curtain cave in The Journey to the West.

There are nine waterfalls in the upper reaches of Tianshengqiaogou in Zhujiaying, all concentrated in a valley, which is the largest waterfall group in northern China. The waterfall is tens of meters to more than 100 meters high from top to bottom, and the biggest Yaotai waterfall (the waterfall under Tianshengqiao) falls 1 12 meters. The waterfall flies up from the cliff, just like a silver dragon. It is magnificent and thunderous, and it resounds through Shan Ye. In the wet season, the water flows downwards, and Malik rushes, which is earth-shattering; In the dry season, the light stream gurgles, the beads are scattered and the jade is thrown, and the sound is crisp, just like a light music ensemble; In winter, waterfalls condense, forming thousands of ice waterfalls of different sizes and postures, just like jade carvings.

Every spring, the snow, ice and waterfalls on the hilltops and shady slopes have not completely melted. However, the green grass in the valley has begun to vomit, and the mountain stream is full of flowers. The purplish peach blossoms first brought people the breath of spring, and the apricot blossoms were also in full bloom all over the mountain. Winter jasmine, azaleas and lilacs are in full bloom, one after another, like clouds floating in the mountains. They dressed the Green Valley in colorful colors. In summer, pink begonia flowers compete to open, wild flowers of all colors compete to open, colorful, fragrant and luxuriant. Here, you can enjoy the butterfly dance, listen to the chirping of birds and blow the cool breeze. You will think it is rainy and the climate is cool and pleasant. In late autumn, the layers of trees are dyed, the red leaves are brilliant, the clouds are like fire, Lin Tao is whistling, the leafy jujube trees are dominant, and the red dates are covered with branches. The unique jujube forest scenery is a scene of Taihang. The clear pool water, the slight ripples, the swish of fish, the whisper of the wind and the light songs of the rain all make you feel quiet, as if you were in a paradise. In the middle of winter, the mountain wind roars, the snow is falling, thousands of miles are frozen, and the vegetation is withered. Only pines and cypresses stand proudly against the cold and snow. There is another wonder in the valley. Huge ice waterfalls, ice curtains and ice curtains hang on the cliffs, just like huge white silk hanging down, which is very spectacular. Some jade willows hang down the curtain, magnificent and dazzling, and transparent ice stalactites gather together, and dewdrops drip down the curtain; The waterfall is connected with the ice pool, and there are various icicles, stalagmites and crystal clear ice flowers on the ice pool. Some of them are like snow lotus, some are like budding lotus flowers, clusters of ice mushrooms, and some are more like exquisite pagodas, crystal clear and lifelike. Under the sunshine, it is so beautiful and spectacular that it gives people a shock of the soul. This pure world of ice and snow, washing and purifying people's body and mind. We can't help sighing that there are so many beautiful mountains and rivers!

Longquan Pass is a pass of the Ming Great Wall in the middle part of Taihang Mountain, and its geographical position is very important.

There have been various types of wars in Longquan Pass. As early as the Song Dynasty, Yang Liulang fought against the Northland here. During the reign of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, peasant rebels attacked Longquan Pass and captured Fuping City. During Guangxu period, German troops from Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Shanxi from Longquan Pass, and warlords scuffled in the early 20th century, and then experienced War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Now, after the liberation war, they came to Longquan Pass to visit the ancient battlefield. Although the elimination of the war has become a thing of the past, that history, especially the history of nearly a hundred years, is still deeply remembered in the hearts of the people of Fuping and even the people of China.

Longquan Pass was built in the second year of the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, with a total length of 1000m, with a closed gate in the middle, a horse track, a battle platform and an enemy building on both sides, and a masonry structure. The Dinglong Highway passes through the wall, which has been seriously damaged, but the camp of the Qing army is faintly visible. 1956 was announced as a key cultural relics protection unit in Hebei province. The inscription reads: Longquan Pass on the Great Wall of Wan Li, 1982, and the county government announced it as a county cultural relics protection unit.
