Autumn ditch

Off-the-beaten-path recommendation in the depths of the southern Taihang Mountains - Qiugou. That year, we spent several days traveling in the southern Taihang Mountains, staying at a farmhouse near Xiangmu River. Tomorrow we were going back, so we wanted to take a break. We chatted with the landlady and she suggested that we go to Qiugou in the afternoon since it's not far from here and it's very beautiful. We couldn't resist the temptation of such a beautiful scenery, so we went to Qiugou after lunch. It was really worth it! Attraction name: Nantaihang Scenic Area - Qiugou Scenic Area Ticket: 40 yuan Tour time: 2 hours Scenic feature: Primitive natural landscape. Scenic area introduction: Among the famous attractions in the Southern Taihang Scenic Area, Qiugou may not be at the top of the list, but it has its own charm. Here, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the canyons are steep, the pools and waterfalls are numerous, and there are strange rocks and caves, legendary ancient temples, and magical natural stone basins (ice mortars). Come join the Peach Blossom Festival in spring, when the peach blossoms in Qiugou are in full bloom. Come play in the water in the summer, and the lush trees in Qiugou are a great place to escape the heat. In autumn, you can come and see the red leaves covering the mountains and pick fruits. This is the season of autumn. The red leaves of the ditch are ripe and hang heavily on the branches. In winter, you can come to see the snowy scenery. The ice-hanging pine trees in Qiugou at this time are like a fairy tale world. Here the mountains are high and the forests are dense, with cliffs hanging in the canyons, and pools every three steps and waterfalls every five steps. Entering the Qiugou Scenic Area, you will soon reach Zhujie Lake. You will be immediately attracted by the clear blue water. The water is so green and clear that you can see the bottom. Walking among the towering cliffs makes one marvel at the power of nature and the insignificance of humans. Continuing along the wooden plank road leads to Sun Moon Lake, where a waterfall can be seen cascading down the mountains. Further ahead, there is a steep slope resembling a ladder of clouds that needs to be climbed. Here, one can fully appreciate the typical red stone landform of the southern Taihang Mountains, with clear mountain and rock textures and a unique dark red color. After climbing the ladder, you will arrive at Wulong Lake, where the flowing water can be heard under the high mountains. Amidst the mountain stone houses, smoke rises from cooking fires, people toil in the fields. Surrounding them are green trees, clear waters, fresh vegetables, and clean air. Is this the kind of life you long for? Autumn Gou is suitable for mountain climbing and sightseeing. There are also many homestays here. We can find a weekend to abandon the steel and concrete of the city and enjoy the same pastoral life here. Xiao Anli: It is recommended to drive or charter to Qiugou, which is located deep in the Taihang Mountains.
