The newly discovered magical landscape in Handan

Buddha finger peak

Peaks and steep cliffs hang in deep valleys,

The mysterious Taihang land is a magical auspicious cloud.

Doing good in heaven is a finger of the Buddha.

The mountains on all sides praise the supreme.

Viewing East Taihang Scenic Area from Lao Cui's aerial photography of Handan

Why go to Peng Ying to seek eternal life?

The scenic spot is too east.

Mountains, clouds, waves,

There is fog in the mountains, and there are ghosts and demons.

The wind dispersed and the scenery was picturesque.

The eagle stood on the rock overlooking Zhong Ling.

Strong, drunk,

Shan Ye is affectionate.

New Discovery of the Secret Realm of Old Cui in Handan;

Strange canyons are shrouded in mist,

No one has come yet.

But the Buddha pointed to the cloud,

Shine the mirror table all over the mountain.

Taihang mountain love

Hidden in the depths of Taihang Mountain is a fairyland.

The vegetation is dense and lush.

The grotesque rocks are like knives,

Distant mountains and close shots are all feelings.

Qiangu original ecology,

The mist is hazy and stands tall.

Sculptures in the sky, a thousand cliffs,

There are people deep in the canyon.

White clouds cross the cliff,

Suddenly I feel that I have hit the Peach Blossom Garden.

The spring is tinkling and the air is fresh.

Pure style, ancient rhyme.

The strange valley of Taihang is in Handan, but few people know it. It is the essence of a landscape in the East Taihang Mountains, majestic and secret.

Taihang Guai Canyon is located in the northwest of Wu 'an, with the core area in Guantao Township, 65 kilometers away from the center of Wu 'an. The canyon covers an area of about 25 square kilometers, of which the highest peak is Buddha Finger Peak, with an altitude of 1700 meters.

Here, the peaks stand tall, the canyons are deep, steep and beautiful. The natural landscape elements such as peaks, terraces, springs and caves are complete, with unique natural features and beautiful scenery.

Looking around, there are many strange peaks, unique landforms and rugged rocks, just like whispers. People can marvel at the nature of heaven and earth, at the same time, let their imagination fly, and give these strange peaks and rocks their recognized names and unique connotations. Set foot in the meantime, feel the green hills and beautiful waters, experience the fresh air, watch the wild animals active in the mountains and enjoy the authentic Wu' an noodles. Return to nature, return to nature, be happy.

The peaks surround the odd grand canyon. There are Fuzi Peak, Lotus Peak and Wangrifeng in the south; There are Ma 'anshan, Camel Peak, Approximate Peak and Buddha Finger Peak in the north; There are Ding Jiao Mountain, Tianlu and Wild Pig Forest in the east. Among them, the Buddha's Finger Peak looks like a Buddha's Finger and faces south. It is the highest peak in this area and is very spectacular.

Qi Canyon is located between Guantaochuan and Mentougou in Wu 'an City, with Qibugou in the east, Chaoyanggou in the west, Wuhua Mountain in the north and Qingyazhai, the highest peak in Handan in the northwest, with an altitude of 1.898 meters.

To go to Taihang Qi Canyon, you need to go to Qugou Village first.

Qugou village is located at the bottom of the valley, with a street extending along the valley and strip-shaped residential buildings on both sides of the street. The village is small, with dozens of people. Donkey friends come to visit you, and Little Square in the center of the village can also do parking, and there are simple places to eat and stay.

"Longtai" is a platform formed by a whole boulder, with an area of about 300 square meters. It is the central attraction for visiting the strange canyon. Taking this as the center, there are three main lines to choose from: south, north and middle. These three lines pass through different scenic spots. If you wander around, one line a day, "dangerous pavilion topic bamboo powder, winding path marsh sniffing lotus"; If you want to travel everywhere in one day, you need to be surrounded by an "8" so that you can abuse yourself and take a quick look.

Because Taihang Guai Canyon is located in the deep mountains, with inconvenient transportation, sparse population and insufficient development, the mountains and gullies are basically kept in their original state, just like a paradise forgotten by the world. However, after all, this canyon has unique and concentrated tourism resources and development potential that cannot be ignored. I believe that in the near future, it will become another high-quality mountain tourist attraction in Handan.
