Highway assault on the wall-hung highway from Mohe to Xiyagou

The so-called wall-hanging road is dug from the cliffs. There are six wall-hanging roads in China, which span Shanxi and Henan provinces of Taihang Mountain. There are three wall-hung highways in Lingchuan County, Shanxi Province, namely Xiyagou, Chen Jiayuan and Kunshan, two wall-hung highways in Pingshun County, Shanxi Province, two wall-hung highways in Henan Province, and Guo Liang and Huilong in Huixian County.

The biggest project is the wall-hung highway in Xiyagou. Xiyagou is named after the legend that immortals used to refine tin and alchemy here. There are criss-crossing buildings, steep cliffs and gurgling streams, which are shielded by mountains and isolated from the world. They live on their own. Since 1962, more than 800 people in the village have struggled for 30 years! A 7.5-kilometer-long highway was dug on the precipice of Wangmang Ridge in the north, and the wall-hung highway twists and turns three times on the mountainside, climbing to the top of the mountain for the word "Zhi". In 2003, with the support of the government, this gravel road was paved with cement.

In Xiyagou, the whole village is a family hotel, almost all with two or three floors. We live in the "Shanshuiyuan Inn", and the boss is a newly-built building. In order to attract guests, the price is cheaper than other homes, and the standard room is 60 yuan/Night. Although the furnishings at home are simple, there is a TV to access the Internet, which makes you feel at home. The young boss is smart and honest under his simple appearance.

Because of the wall-hung highway, the path has not been walked for many years. One side of the path is covered with grass and purple flowers, which are very bright. There are hawthorn trees everywhere in Xiyagou, and the trees are full of fruits, red and lovely.

I have been to Guapi Highway in Guo Liang, and I drove by. I just stopped to take a photo and got on the bus. I'm not allowed to stay because the mountain is steep. This time I went to Xiyagou, and I really had close contact. We walked a full 7.5 kilometers of highway. It stands to reason that this road is a scenic spot for self-driving viewing Guapi Highway in Wangmang Ridge Scenic Area.

The whole road is just the two of us and the whole valley is our world. After walking about 1000 meters, we heard a shepherd's cry on the half slope of the cliff, which was very big and empty. The higher we go, the quieter we get. Because we have lived in the city for a long time, we feel that kind of peace. Because it was retrograde, I felt a little worried and scared when we went to the cave. Encouraged by my husband, we pulled over. The local weather forecast said it would rain, and it did. The ground will be a little wet. Standing on the cliff road and watching the rain in the mountains, there is a feeling of helplessness in the mountains. Man is so small in front of nature. Because it is the off-season of tourism, only one sightseeing bus is coming from the opposite side of Wangmang Ridge, and a deafening noise can be heard from a distance, which resounds through the bottom of the valley and reverberates in the valley.

Walking back from the wall-hung highway in Xia, because it just rained a little, the leaves were covered with water drops, crystal clear. Fingertips pick and taste Hongshan fruit, which is sour and sweet.
