West Taihang Mountain, located in the Shanxi section of Taihang Mountain, is also a place for outdoor travelers to explore, just like South Taihang Mountain, but it is little known. Located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it retains a long history of simplicity; The mountains here are steep and unique, exuding mysterious and charming scenery charm. It is absolutely affordable to say a duet of humanity and nature.

Then, in the West Taihang Mountain, besides the "Cat Trail" full of historical glory, what other experiences are there?

Challenge Tiansheng Bridge

To the south of the thatched cottage, at the top of Yinggu Mountain, there is a natural bridge flying between the north and south cliffs. This is by far the largest natural stone arch bridge discovered in northern China.

It is said that the limestone caves widely distributed here were formed after hundreds of millions of years of erosion. The periphery of the cave collapsed with the passage of time, leaving only a part of the top of the cave, which has become today's wonders.

Tiansheng Bridge has a span of 50m, a height of 200m, a width of 5m and a thickness of over 10m. Its standard circular arch is simply a masterpiece.

From a distance, standing at the top of the bridge is like a rainbow rising in Ran Ran, with bottomless sides and exciting; Walking on it, there will be a winding path leading to a secluded place, through forests and flowers. The length of 50 meters is enough for you to enjoy, and the width of 5 meters also gives you enough sense of security.

Tianshengqiao, shocking and gentle, bends down to meet every distinguished guest from afar.

Visit Wanfo Temple

The Wanfo Temple, located at the top of an isolated mountain, is a small temple without an abbot. Above the boulder, there are cliffs all around. From a distance, it seems to be floating in the air, like a mirage, with a fairy-like style and a sense of mystery beyond the secular.

Crossing Yinggu Gorge

In Taihang Mountain, there is a canyon that is not lost to Zhangjiajie karst landscape. This is Yinggu Gorge!

Canyon walls stand a thousand feet high, axes chop and knives cut, strange peaks stand tall, and peaks are like mushrooms after rain, but they are independent. The grandeur of the mountains and rivers in the north and the beauty and agility of the mountains and rivers in the south are perfectly integrated. Because there is no development, little is known here, and the most primitive appearance is preserved.

For example, Maolu-Tianshengqiao-Wanfo Temple-Yingguxia is the most classic crossing route for hiking in the West Taihang. In addition to touching stories and unique scenery, the scenery along the way here changes with the seasons.

Early spring, pear, peach, apricot, forsythia, etc. It should be open in season, and it is wonderful to dye the canyon with pieces of white, red and yellow. In midsummer, there are plenty of water vapor, mist, waterfalls and flowing springs here, making it an excellent summer resort. The arrival of late autumn is another artistic conception, with the beautiful forest gradually dyed and the wild persimmon at the top.

Thousands of miles of Taihang Mountain are picturesque, and the terrain of the strange gorge in the world is fantastic. After getting used to the majestic momentum and beautiful scenery of Taihang Mountain, hiking in Taihang Mountain is also a good experience. Pack your bags and head for the depths of Taihang!
