What tourist attractions are there in Ruicheng?

1 Fengling Ancient Capital

Fenglingdu is located in Fenglingdu Town, Ruicheng County, south of the Yellow River, across from Shaanxi Province and Henan Province. Located at the east corner of the Yellow River, it is a transportation hub for the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan. It is known as "the sound of cockcrow in three provinces".

Fenglingdu is named after the ancient Yellow Emperor sage was buried here. The poet Zhao Zizhen of the Jin Dynasty once left a poem called "Fenglingdu", "The water runs through the north and south, and the Central Plains is full of energy. The soil of mountains and rivers flows into the mountains, and the smoke of trees flows into Qinchuan." The Fengling Crossing shape surpasses the mountains and rivers.

When the Yellow River passes Fenglingdu, it turns eastward. Several tributaries of the Wei River, Jing River, and Beiluo River converge, showing huge water potential, gentle flow, and relatively stable river channels. It is the best place to cross the river from south to north to Shangmin. There is an endless stream of boats passing by, and it is known as "the first crossing of the Yellow River".

The history of ferrying did not end until the railway bridge and highway bridge were built on the Yellow River. Fenglingdu lost its transportation value and became a tourist attraction.

2 Yongle Palace

Yongle Palace, also known as the Chunyang Longevity Palace, was originally located in Zhaoxian Village, Yongle Town, Ruicheng County. From 1959 to 1964, due to the construction of the Sanmenxia Reservoir by the state, the entire Yongle Palace was moved to the vicinity of Longquan Village in the northern suburbs of the county. It was built on the site of the ancient capital of the Wei Kingdom in the Western Zhou Dynasty, 20 kilometers away from the original site.

The Lama Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It is the largest Yuan Dynasty Taoist temple in China and one of the three major ancestral halls of Quanzhen Religion. It commemorates Lu Dongbin, a famous Taoist figure in the Tang Dynasty.

It took more than 110 years to complete the construction, and the walls of the palace are covered with murals.

3 Big Fishing Ferry

Duyu is located more than 20 miles southeast of Ruicheng County. It is a tourist resort with large scale, novel structure, integrating irrigation and tourism.

In the 1970s, the Dayudu Electric Irrigation Station was built here and opened to the outside world in 1979.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the scenery is charming. The ancient Helin Temple, the majestic Yuwang Temple, the incense-filled Guanyin Temple, the tall Shuiguan Dayu and the Holy Water Guanyin statue, and the magnificent high-irrigation and Yellow River diversion project that reflects the epitome of China's water conservancy development era in the 1970s, are uniquely enjoyable. The luxurious and comfortable Yellow River air-cushion passenger ship, the thousand-year-old sacred cypress known as the symbol of Dayu Capital, and various ornamental recreational facilities in the scenic area deeply attract every tourist.

4 Xihoudu Site

The Xihoudu Site is located in Xihoudu Village, Fenglingdu Town, Ruicheng County, on ancient terraces about 170 meters above the river. It was first discovered in 1959 and investigated again by experts in 1960. The conclusion was that it belonged to the "Early Pleistocene" culture.

According to a large amount of historical documents and archaeological evidence, the Xihoudu site is the earliest place in my country where people used fire, and it is also one of the earliest sites in the world where people used fire.

5 Jiufeng Mountain

Jiufeng Mountain is located at the southern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, 10 kilometers north of Dawang Town, Ruicheng County, with an altitude of 1,600 meters. The mountain runs northwest-southeast and faces the southwest. It is low, flat and open in the middle, with peaks on both sides. It looks like an armchair, so it is also called "jade chair".

Jiufeng Mountain is not only beautiful in scenery, but also famous for Lu Dongbin’s 19-year seclusion practice. It is known as the holy land of Lucian Taoism and is more distinctive than "Yongle Palace".

There are a large number of precious inscriptions and cultural relics such as the statue of Lu, the Lu Xianbai stele, the Jiufeng Mountain stele, the Emperor's imperial edict stele, and the cliff stone carvings of the palace on Chunyang Mountain. A poem by a Yuan Dynasty person said: "It is said that there are nine peaks in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Immortal Palace is located on the nine peaks. The founder of Quanzhen Sect was born here, and the origin of dignity is connected here."

She faces the Yellow River to the east and the high loess slopes to the west. It is warm in the south and cool in the north. It combines the water color of the Jiangnan water town and the high loess slopes, and the scenery is pleasant and spectacular.

There are more than 2,000 acres of red lotus in the lake. In summer and autumn, lotus flowers bloom in red and white, and the corresponding brilliance is particularly attractive. The sky and water meet, and the red lotus reflects the sun, attracting tourists from all over the world to enjoy the lotus or go boating.

In recent years, due to the effective protection of the wetland, the lake is home to more than 230 species of birds, becoming an important "stop" for migratory birds, and more than 20 species of rare birds are the main wintering grounds. Among them, there are 57 resident birds, 60 summer migratory birds, and more than 50 winter birds.
