Westbound Shanxi and Shaanxi after the epidemic

After the outbreak, I traveled across provinces for the first time. On September 4th, I went on a 4-day tour with Souku Photography Group. The itinerary is Lijiashan Village at Qiaokou, Jingbian Langgu, Ganquan Grand Canyon and Hukou Waterfall in Shanxi, Shaanxi.

Take the shuttle bus to Yuanmingyuan in the morning, take the bus at 7 o'clock on time, and rest in two service areas (Wang Du, Hebei, Jingle, Shanxi). 10 hour later, arrive at Qiaokou, Linxian County, Luliang City at 5 pm, and then transfer to a local minibus to drive to Panshan Highway to reach Lijiashan Village.

The first thing I saw was an old man in a quaint natural village in Lijiashan Village, Qiaokou, Linxian County, wearing a white towel and a sheepskin vest. What is particularly striking is that he has a brand QR code hanging around his neck, which is in sharp contrast with simplicity and technology.

Lijiashan Village, Qiaokou Town, Linxian County, Shanxi Province, was rated as a famous Chinese historical and cultural village. There are about 100 courtyards in the village, and many different houses of luxurious Qing dynasty dwellings and ordinary caves are preserved, which contain loess customs and rich Yellow River culture. This is a valuable material for studying ancient folk customs in China.

The terrain of this village is very strange. The buildings are vertically distributed on a hillside hundreds of meters high, with a slope of about 40 degrees. Almost all buildings make perfect use of the direction of the mountain and combine with the hillside skillfully. From a distance, all kinds of buildings with different shapes overlap, from the ditch to the top, up to nine stories, which is very spectacular.

While editing my travel notes, the teacher Qin in the group (the man of practice is at the end of the world) sent me a photo, which suddenly surprised me. "Oh, this is the Potala Palace", which is the Potala Palace on the loess high slope. (The picture below was taken by Teacher Qin. )

There are two small ditches facing south in the village, which meet in the south of the village and flow into the Yellow River. The cape between the two ditches looks like the head of a phoenix, while the left and right mountains are the wings of a phoenix. This kind of terrain is extremely beneficial to the accumulation of wealth in the eyes of Feng Shui master. The streets in the village are high and low, paved with stones, very neat and orderly.

In the evening, the villagers began to cook and eat after a hard day, and the couple chatted. Li Laotou, an experienced model, confidently sang a Shanxi folk song-Xintianyou, smoked a bag of cigarettes and took the donkey home.

In the evening, I live in Qikou Town, Linxian County, Luliang City, Shanxi Province-the Yellow River family, bounded by the Yellow River, Shanxi and Shaanxi. Qikou Town is an ancient ferry and an important town north of the Yellow River. At the foot of Wohu Mountain, the street of Qikou Town winds for five miles from east to north. Street is connected with streets, alleys, alleys and courtyards. A design professor once inspected and said, "This kind of building is called a three-dimensional local building with a unique architectural style in the world."

I live in Qikou Inn, which is located in the core area of the ancient town, backed by Luliang Mountain, facing the Yellow River and near Qikou Wharf. Qikou Inn, formerly known as Sihetang, mainly deals in sesame oil trade. At its peak, its business reached Baotou and Yinchuan in the north, "Trilateral" in Shaanxi in the west and Taiyuan, Beijing and Tianjin in the east. After several changes, it became an inn at the beginning of this century. The building in the courtyard is divided into upper and lower floors, with a cave-like building at the bottom and a row of Chinese lattice doors and windows at the top. The walls are made of bluestone and the roof is covered with green tiles. The towering eaves are strewn at random with the terrain, and rows of hung red lanterns adorn them, adding a lot of vitality to this ancient courtyard.

The unique Qikou Inn is decorated with beautiful flowers and rows of red lanterns, which adds a lot of vitality, but Shi Zhuan's floor, steep stairs and a series of decorations can show his past history.

In Qikou, it used to be a bustling land transportation place by water. The specialty grain, fur and medicinal materials produced in the northwest are transported here by water, and then transported to various places by land camels. When I come back, I will bring back some products, tea, matches and other daily necessities, and then send them to the northwest by water. Now that the road and railway traffic is developed, Qikou has lost its former glory.

In the morning, the sunrise is red, the morning sun is all over the earth, and the Yellow River water is particularly beautiful. Standing by the Yellow River, looking at the flowing water of the Yellow River, my heart is surging, imagining the scene at that time and the scenery in the past.

Leave Qikou to visit Langgu, Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. Jingbian Valley is very close to Yan 'an, and I always think it is a scenic spot with borders. Fiona Fang is a big wave valley (called Jingbian Red Sandstone Canyon locally), which is a treasure deep in the mountains. Because of the carving of sandstone by millions of years of wind and water, the grain of azithromycin particles is like waves, which is a treasure house and laments nature.

Fortunately, the team's beauty yoga instructor fully demonstrated the graceful movements in the photographer's lens, adding more beautiful scenery to the beautiful scenery.

We went to the Danxia landform on the water in the third scenic spot. Longzhou Lake in the middle surrounded by mountains shines on the earth like a mirror in the sky, and there is a curved green lake in the stone valley. What's even more surprising is that everyone praises the map of China, which has great visual impact. The calm green lake and red sandstone make up a beautiful landscape painting.

Here, scenery is the basis of photography creation.

The original plan was to shoot the sunset glow of Danxia on the water, but it was windy and dusty, so we had to change our plan and rush to Jingbian County. Just now, the weather was gray. Suddenly, the sky turned red and the car cheered. Teacher Liu and the driver's master helped to find a suitable seat to take pictures temporarily. This is a modern oil refinery. Photography lovers forget their low back pain and leg pain so quickly. Looking for the wall and the roof of the tanker to seize this beautiful moment, the refinery under the red sunset is particularly beautiful. Afterwards, everyone humorously joked that "this is a good character, and God cares for us".

I took two pictures without hesitation, but the focus was not good. Let's see if the photographer is a hero.

The following photos were taken by teacher Hongyehong and borrowed. The photographer focused on taking pictures on the top of the abandoned water tank.

Photography is hard and happy. I set off early for the Yucha Grand Canyon in Ganquan, which is the place I have been eager to take photos. When I arrived at the scenic spot, I took a special bus from the scenic spot. The road is green, and there are all kinds of small wild flowers on the roadside. It takes about 35 minutes to get to Peony Valley.

I thought we could go directly to Yucha Grand Canyon. The best time for the tour guide to introduce and shoot Yucha Grand Canyon is 12 until 2 noon, and I will go to Peony Valley while it is still early. It is said that there was a big earthquake in Mudangou about several hundred million years ago, which split a mountain in two and formed a big crack. Later, it was washed away by wind and rain to form a canyon. There are many wild peonies on the roadside, hence the name Peony Valley. The canyon is about 100 m long and 1 m wide, and the ground is uneven. Pay great attention to the slippery ground, and you can go back the same way after an hour of sightseeing.

From Mudangou Canyon to the next scenic spot, Ganquan Grand Canyon, take the scenic bus for 20 minutes.

Ganquan Yucha Grand Canyon is naturally formed, which is the living Danxia of the world and the dream valley of China. This geology is amazing. It is a natural treasure developed on 20 17, the most unique and famous canyon, and a paradise for photographers. The canyon is about 300 meters long, wide 1 m-2 m, and the narrowest valley bottom is 20 cm. If the sky is clear at noon, the sun shines through the gap in the canyon, giving off colorful colors and strange shapes.

Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a popular tourist attraction, belonging to Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Yan 'an City. Shanxi and Shaanxi are on both sides of the Yellow River, and our hotel is opposite Shanxi and Shaanxi. The Yellow River roared and roared, like waves in a storm. Its surging stirred people's hearts, displayed its magnificence for its indomitable spirit and was shocked by its invincible spirit.

The mountains and rivers of the motherland are vast and magnificent, and they are presented to everyone for sharing. A chorus of the Yellow River sings the greatness and pride in our hearts, breeds splendid civilization soaring into the sky, and inspires Chinese children to have a boiling passion!
