Zhouwangdian Village is an ancient village deep in the mountains.
Zhouwangdian Village Scenic Area is located in the Taihang Mountains, 45 km northwest of Qixian County. It is named after King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, who trained soldiers here.
The area is surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery, with unique mountain and water landscapes and a rich historical and cultural heritage. The main attractions include the Zhouwangdian Ruins, Shitou Ancient Residences, Sanxian'nao, Jiuquan Lake, Bujun Valley, Majun Valley, Tonglu Valley, Tielu Valley, Taohua Pool, Wumen Cave, and more than 30 other sites. The scenic area is divided into five main areas: the tourist reception service area, the Yin and Shang culture exhibition area, the mountain climbing and fitness area, the ecological adventure area, and the peripheral ecological protection area.
The Zhouwangdian Scenic Area is densely vegetated, with unique natural landscapes, including springs, waterfalls, caves, holes, strange rocks, and cliffs. Among them, "Sanxian'nao" is the highest peak in Hebi, with an altitude of 1,019 meters. It is also the highest point at the junction of Qixian County, Weihui City, and Linzhou City. It is a unique convergence point, with three mountain ranges radiating from the peak, each enclosing a county or city, and the angles between the three mountain ranges are all 120 degrees. "Yunling Mist" is a common climatic phenomenon in the scenic area. During the rainy season, clouds form in the valleys, creating a sea of clouds that rolls through the valley, with clouds swirling around the mountain peaks, like an ink painting. Xianren Cave is a typical stalactite cave in Qixian County, with many stalactites in unique shapes, and a skylight leading to the top of the mountain. Zhouwangdian Stone City is a primitive ancient village, with most of the stone houses dating back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The houses are staggered in height, creating a unique appearance. The roads in the city are winding and maze-like.
The scenic area also has sweet springs, with water flowing from natural stone caves all year round. The echo wall is lined with stalactites in various shapes. The cave entrance on the south stone wall of Majun Valley is 30 meters deep and 7 meters high. The ancient residences here are also very distinctive, with ancient towering trees, stone steps with exquisite patterns, and doors and windows in their original appearance along the tree-lined paths.
Zhouwangdian Scenic Area is a great place for sightseeing, leisure vacations, mountain climbing, and canyon adventures. Visitors can enjoy different scenery in different seasons, such as the beautiful red leaves in autumn.
