Wall-hung highway in the depths of Taihang Mountain! Where is it? Shanxi

Shanxi, the wall-hung highway deep in Taihang Mountain, is called the miracle of the world because of its steep engineering.

The wall-hung highway in Taihang Mountain has always been a place that many self-driving enthusiasts yearn for. Because of the steep terrain, there is no way to build Panshan Highway in some places in South Taihang, so the mountain people who refused to admit defeat built the mountain-crossing highway into a tunnel. So the world-famous wall-hung highway between Taihang Mountain was built.

There are several wall-hanging highways on the south Taihang side, but some places are surrounded by scenic spots, and self-driving is no longer allowed, such as Guo Liang Village. If you want to experience the wall-hung highway, you must take the sightseeing bus in the scenic spot, and you are not allowed to drive by car. This feeling will greatly reduce the driving experience and fun.

From slate to Gedi, the whole journey is nearly 20 kilometers, and the road conditions are good. The magnificent scenery of South Taihang not only attracts many self-driving enthusiasts and photographers, but also is an ideal place for many painters to sketch and create. There have been many teachers and students from the Academy of Fine Arts here for many years.

Looking out of the window, the majestic Taihang Mountain in the sun seems within reach. This mountain road, less than 20 kilometers, connects Henan and Shanxi provinces. Looking at the beautiful scenery passing by the roadside from time to time, we drove unhurriedly so as to stop and take some beautiful photos.

It took an hour from Shibanyan Town in Linzhou to Gedi Village that day. Gedi village is surrounded by mountains, and the whole village seems to be at the bottom of a well, so it is named Gedi village. Although Gedi belongs to Shanxi, it feels closer to Linzhou, Henan. Due to the unique geographical environment of Gedi village, there is no road to the outside world in the village. The villagers didn't want to be trapped here, so they took the power of the whole village and spent more than ten years building this 1500-meter-long wall-hung highway on the cliff.

As for the word "Ge" in Gedi Village, I think there are several ways to write it, such as "Jing", "Ba" and "Jing". Pronunciation reading "Jing" is probably a perfect word. The word "brother" used in my article comes from the signboard on the street. On the other side of this nine-hole bridge is Xiangyun Lake. When the water is big, the lake there flows through the bridge opening of this bridge like several small waterfalls. Gedi Village was listed as a designated poverty alleviation village by Changzhi City in 2007. But the houses in the village still look beautiful. There are many homestays here because of the beautiful scenery.

It is said that this highway was originally built for the convenience of getting from Bati Village to Pingshun County. Because the road from Shibanyan Town to Gedi Village is better, although it is also a mountain road, there is no need to dig a tunnel. Before this wall-hanging highway, people in Gedi village could only take a long mountain road over mountains to Pingshun County. It can be said that this road is also the local road of hope. In the warm autumn sunshine, there are many corn and hawthorn on the roadside in the village.

After crossing the village, I immediately entered the wall-hanging highway, but I was shocked by the scene in front of me, and the road ahead was blocked. Only people who asked nearby know that this section of the road is currently being repaired. It's a pity that I can't go because I'm close at hand.

When the car couldn't get through, I climbed over the barricade made of blue colored steel plates and walked in to feel the wall-hung expressway.

Over the barricade, you can see a big mountain. This is the road below the vertical cliff. The pedestrians walking on the road are in sharp contrast with the huge mountains.

At the corner of this road, there is a big stone engraved with the red characters of Shenlong Bay. It is named after the river at the bottom of the valley turns here.

Go further, and you will see this stone tablet engraved with "World Miracle _ Wall-hung Highway", which is also the starting point of this wall-hung highway.

This wall-hung highway on Gushi Line is 1500m long, completely suspended halfway up the mountain, hundreds of meters away from the top of the mountain and the bottom of the ditch, with 39 holes in the cliff and beautiful scenery outside the window. Walking into the cave, I saw the road near the cliff on the left side of the highway under construction, and many workers were busy.

This road was built in the mid-1990s. At that time, people in Gedi Village formed the initial road-building team with a sense of pride, and started the road-building in Gong Yu. But when they worked in the dark for two months, the road was only 3 meters long. Some people faded and some died, but the stubborn mountain people did not stop working because of this.

Until the beginning of 1999, the county transportation bureau won funds for them, and the staff carried the machines and came to the bottom hole like reinforcements.

After their hard work, the cross-harbour tunnel was finally opened to traffic after the Spring Festival in 2000. Since then, villagers living in the mountains can reach the county seat in less than an hour.

The so-called wall hanging is to dig a hole halfway up the mountain, and there is a big hole every once in a while, so you don't have to turn on the light when driving in the hole during the day.

When this road was first repaired, the road was only 4 meters wide and only one car could pass. In addition, there is no collision wall at the edge of the cliff, and problems such as falling rocks at the top of the tunnel need to be solved. So in 2007, with the support of the state, the "wall-hung expressway" began again. The road repair team began to carry out dangerous "hanging work" on the wall. After several improvements, it was completely completed at the end of 2008.

Now the construction machinery is much more advanced than at that time, but after all, it is in the mountainous area, and the construction difficulty is much greater than that on the plain.

In the south of the west exit of this wall-hung highway, next to a moon bridge, it is very chic. To climb the bridge to the opposite peak, you need to buy a ticket and climb many steps to cross the bridge. When I was about to finish this section of the road, the construction manager in front wouldn't let me go again, saying it was too unsafe. I can only look at the moon bridge built on the cliff from a distance through the cave.

Through the conversation with the workers, it is known that if the road is repaired quickly, it is estimated that it will be opened to traffic on May 1 next year.

According to legend, there is a mysterious village at the junction of Shanxi and Henan, which is surrounded by towering mountains. More accurately, it should be that there are cliffs around the village, under the cliffs, just like at the bottom of the well. Everyone who has seen it says that this village is like a paradise.

This small village has a history of more than 1000 years, but it has been isolated from the outside world since ancient times because of its steep terrain. It was not until in recent years that a wall-hung highway was built through the village that this isolated small village was known to the world. Those lucky enough to arrive find that its beautiful scenery is a world treasure that has been dusty for many years, which is amazing.

During my stay in go on road trip, I was lucky enough to see the beauty of this village. Today, I will talk to you. This is the charming village of Bati. Bati Village is located in the Taihang Grand Canyon at the junction of Shanxi and Henan, bordering Shibanyan Village in Linzhou City, Henan Province, and the exact location is Dongsitou Township, Pingshun County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province.

If you want to enter Batty village, you must drive on the wall-mounted expressway leading to Batty village. The wall-hung highway in Bati village has opened up a large section of hard rock mountain. This wall-hanging highway was dug on the cliff by villagers at the bottom of the well after 1996 and 14 years.

The wall-hung highway at the foot of the mountain has a nice name, which is called "Heaven goes into the sky". This wall-hung highway is completely hovering halfway up the mountain, hundreds of meters away from the top and bottom of the mountain. There are 39 holes in the wall-hanging highway, which looks like a window from a distance.

Because the villagers in Bati village had little communication with the outside world before the completion of the wall-hanging highway, they were extremely simple and even afraid of being disturbed. Because of this situation, we really dare not stay in the village for a long time. But we know that living in isolated mountains requires strong will and rich survival wisdom.

For example, this arch bridge, which stands between two cliffs, is the crystallization of the wisdom of the people in Bati village. Initially, there were 232 families in Bati village. Before the highway is built, the villagers have to cross this small bridge, climb the "Hello Ladder" of 1800 steps and turn around the mountain for more than ten miles before they can get in and out.

When taking pictures, I can't help thinking that the bridge builder at that time was in danger of being shattered if he was a little careless. They overcame natural obstacles and created convenience for their relatives and future generations. Looking at this man-made miracle, the people in Bati village have a little more fear in Xiaomi's heart.

Bati village has not only mountains, but also clear water. Look at this Xiangyun Lake, so it's called "Xiangyun" because Bati Village is located at the bottom of the valley, and dense fog fills the air in the morning and evening, especially the morning fog on the lake looks like Xiangyun, so it's called "Xiangyun". Being in such an environment is like a beautiful picture of villagers hunting by the mountain and fishing by the water, and people living in harmony with nature.

Although the development of tourism resources can make villagers rich, Bati village has not exhausted resources and overdeveloped after the opening of the expressway. Only some inns have been built in the village for tourists to rest and stay. The inn in the picture falls at the foot of the mountain, and the wood structure does not conflict with nature. In the viewing room on the mountain wall, you can experience the pleasure of climbing high and looking far. This is the famous Cliff Inn.

In the fast-paced urban life, people occasionally yearn for rural life, and Bati Village is a small corner that can satisfy this yearning. I hope Xiaomi's photos and words can share this calm mood with you.
