What are the good strategies for traveling to Yuxian County, Hebei Province?

Beijing to the west, exploring Yuxian and Datong soil forests.

Wei county is located on the south bank of Liu Hu, which was called Yuzhou in ancient times. It was a representative country in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and it belonged to Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Warring States belongs to Zhao, and Qin is the county. It was first established in Yuzhou, Xuan Wudi during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is one of the famous "Sixteen States" and the best preserved ancient city in the west of Beijing. The long-standing ancient culture and the multi-ethnic integration of the Great Wall and the Central Plains, coupled with developed commerce and transportation, have created the grand, lofty and elegant architectural style of the ancient city and the cultural landscape on both sides of Yu Xiu and Xiong Jia in Zhong Ling. The long history has left many amazing cultural landscapes for Yuxian.

Datong soil forest is caused by soil erosion in the Loess Plateau, and it collapses over time to form a huge pothole structure. It's wonderful and strange. Nature's uncanny workmanship has created strange and confusing landforms in the soil forest. When you walk in here, it's hard to understand that you are still trapped in the magic field after landing on Mars. The thick loess has experienced years of running water erosion, wind, frost, rain and snow, which has made this magical realm. The yellow, white and red colors of tulin show different color changes under different lighting conditions: sometimes golden, sometimes red as flame, sometimes black as abyss, and sometimes Yuan Ye, Bai Rushuang ... Tulin is located in Duzhuang Township, about 25 kilometers south of Datong. Photographers published photos on the Internet, using the artist's meticulous and unique light and shadow effects to fully show the strange and confusing landforms of Datong soil forest. This can not help but make people fascinated.

Starting from Suzhou Bridge, except for the traffic jam at the upper section of Badaling Expressway and the Beijing exit of Badaling Expressway, everything went smoothly and arrived in Yuxian at 4: 30 pm. Our first stop, Chongtai Temple in the northwest of wei county 10 km, was locked. Chongtai Temple is the oldest, largest and most well-preserved temple in Zhangjiakou. There are no obvious signs or road signs to guide Chongtai Temple, so you can only ask local residents. The local people looked at us with strange eyes, and then reached out and pointed to a direction, telling us that there should be a temple in the direction of his finger. We hesitated, but it also added a bit of mystery. Now that you're here, you must find it. The road conditions are not very good. We drove along a long canyon. Suddenly, when Lufeng turned the corner, an almost square mound rose in the distance, and a curved step wound up to the top of the mound, and the structure of the building could be seen vaguely. This is the expected Chongtai Temple. We were stunned by the location of this building. In front of the huge mound stood a few weathered earth and stone, which was particularly desolate and magnificent. I can't believe we are still in the North China Plain.

The next morning, we came to the Eyu Imperial Pavilion in Yuxian County. Here, also known as Jingbian Building, is a state-level cultural relics protection unit. Located on the north wall of the county seat, it consists of Dragon and Tiger Hall, Bell and Drum Tower, Jade Emperor Temple and Ancestral Hall. Jade Emperor Temple is a glazed tile roof with triple eaves. Precious Ming Dynasty murals are preserved in the temple. It was built at the same time as the Yuzhou city wall in the tenth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. The whole building is a wooden structure, strewn at random, magnificent. Although it has been eroded by hundreds of years of wind and rain and chaos, it can still fully reflect the architectural art of the Ming Dynasty after several reconstructions.

After visiting the Jade Emperor Pavilion, our next goal is the West Castle, which is known as "the first village of folk culture in Hebei". It is a typical castle in Yuxian county and even Hebei province. Built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it integrates the four cultural landscapes of "ancient castles, ancient temples, ancient theaters and ancient dwellings" and has important historical and cultural values, folk research values and architectural art values. West Castle, small and medium-sized Castle, Beiguan Castle, and well-preserved laojunmiao, Pavilion Academy, Nianhuayan Temple in relic of an emissary in Ming Dynasty, and Huliuhe Reservoir in the town.

After coming out of warm spring in Yuxian County, take the 303 provincial highway to the west until you reach Hunyuan, then take the 203 provincial highway and drive in the direction of Datong, and you can go directly to Duzhuang where Datong Tulin is located. The whole journey is about 160 km. After entering Duzhuang village, you can't walk 1 km northeast from the fork in the village, but you can reach the soil forest area through the reservoir. We jumped out of the car, first standing on the edge of the earth cliff and watching all this, our hearts pounding with the scenery we saw. From time to time, there are several blackbirds flying over the huge water surface, and the soil forests beside the water surface are of different shapes. After a while, we ran into the soil forest. Looking around, the strange scenery of the soil forest is dizzying. Every soil forest is like a strange work of art, like a mountain peak and a towering wall. Like a tower, the eaves of the tower are layered. Walking in the maze of Judaism, Datong soil forest. I can't help feeling how many years of wind and rain. Unexpectedly, in the thick loess layer, a confusing world was carved. Looking at the huge water surface near the soil forest, it feels quite magical. There is a clear and quiet water surface on the dry yellow land above.

However, what needs special explanation now is that Datong soil forest has entered the ranks of commercial development, and it is now forbidden to enter. All the good scenery has been circled. Under the guidance of a local kind-hearted old man, I entered the soil forest through a path. The internal transformation of soil forest is in the ascendant. With the gradual progress of construction, the original landscape has also been greatly destroyed. In addition to the steep slopes of ski resorts, there are also villas and racetracks under construction. A large temple has also been built in the Fox Fairy Temple in the north, which has been installed on the beam at present, which also affects the overall environmental layout. 10 years ago, I hope it will help you. I haven't been there for a long time. I miss it there.

The time and route are also good according to the mood.

It is inconvenient to go to Yuxian by car from Beijing. Under the background of promoting the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, I think both Beijing and Yuxian should take the initiative, and the direction of thinking should be quickly changed to the "people-oriented" track, so that more people can increase their sense of gain. It is suggested that relevant parties do more investigation and research on such a problem.

To travel to Yuxian, you must drive by car, and it is not very convenient for the county bus to get to the scenic spots. Yuxian is a famous historical and cultural county in Hebei Province with a long history. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there were 36 counties in China, and Yuxian County replaced Wang Zhen as the county, one of the sixteen states. Located on Taihang Mountain, there are many beautiful scenery on the mountain. It is recommended to travel to Yuxian in summer, and you can visit various scenic spots for many days:

5. Snacks, in Yuxian, many snacks must also be tried, such as dried bean curd, bean jelly, spinning powder, baking, eight bowls, paste, yellow cake and so on. Compared with winter, it is much less fun. It is too cold in the north.

Next time you go to Yuxian, remember to eat this bowl of bitter buckwheat jelly opposite the New Oriental Commercial Building on Qianjin Road. The fire will drop three heights, especially the fried Chili section, which is crispy and delicious. Eat three bowls first every time you go, and even drink soup! Bring five bowls for mom and dad! Mom and dad said yes after eating!

Located in Hot Spring Town, Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. The custom of "Big Shuhuaxiu" in the hot spring town of Lantern Festival has continued to this day. As an ancient skill, Great Shu Hua has become a "provincial intangible cultural heritage" in Hebei Province. "Big Shuhuaxiu" is a traditional folk cultural activity in Hot Spring Town, Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province. The main attractions are "the first castle in the world", West Castle and Nanzhangzhuang Paper-cut Village.

"The first castle in the world" is the "bright spot" of Wenquan ancient town. It is the only indoor live performance theater in Hebei, which can accommodate nearly 900 spectators at the same time. Dazzling lights, gorgeous costumes, changing stage, huge lineup and characteristic scripts present the performance of Dashuhuaxiu, the first intangible cultural heritage project in China, to tourists every day. Because it is an indoor scene, the "Big Shuhua Show" has ended the history that it can only be watched outdoors and during the day for more than 300 years, so that tourists no longer return with regrets. West Castle was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. The castle is antique, and its main features are the humanistic landscape and the modeling structure of the urn, which integrates "ancient castle, ancient temple, ancient theater and ancient residence". The Devil Comes, Zuo Tang Zong and New Shaolin Temple have all been filmed here.

Yuxian is a small county, but there are many interesting and delicious places. Yuxian, as the county with the richest tourism resources in Zhangjiakou, is not far from Datong and is greatly influenced by Datong. More people go to Datong than Zhangjiakou. In the minds of ordinary people, Yuxian feels that it belongs to Datong, not Zhangjiakou. Yuxian has a profound cultural heritage. Yuxian scissors won the world intangible cultural heritage. The Grand Shu Hua Opera is a local traditional performance, which is very ornamental and exciting. This is the only place in China. Every year during the Lantern Festival, tourists from Beijing Datong and other places will come to Yuxian to watch the Great Shu Hua performance.

Xiaowutai Mountain is a 4A-level scenic spot with mountains, water and forests. The natural vegetation is better, the first-line small scenic spots, toad stone and black dragon pool are all good, and it will be over in half a day. Air grassland is at the top of the mountain, and it is the flat land at the top of the mountain that forms the grassland, so it is called air grassland. The grassland is small, but it is very distinctive. Looking at the Grand Canyon below on the grassland, it's very spectacular and beautiful, and I feel that other mountains are short under the sky ... On the way to air grassland, I passed Feihuyu, with high mountains and dense forests and dangerous terrain. This is a battleground for military strategists. There have been several big battles here in history, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the natural south gate of Yuxian County, with Shizhu Mountain in the middle of more than ten kilometers, which is a rare spectacle in the north. It's a bit like the terrain of Zhangjiajie, and it feels like it's in the mountains in the south. The shape of this work is particularly unique.

Hot spring ancient town is well preserved and has local traditional characteristics. Walking into the ancient town is like going back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties hundreds of years ago. Take a closer look at the ancient town. Yuxian has many historical sites, including pagodas and temples. Warm spring ancient town is rich in snacks. Local people not only love to eat, but also eat. The same ingredients taste only when they are eaten here. The snacks here are much more delicious than the big meals in restaurants. If the taste is good, you can find the right place, leaving time to savor it slowly.

Yuxian paper-cutting is famous overseas. You can go to folk workshops to see the process of folk artists making paper-cuts. The same piece of paper will become a work of art in their hands and be sold at home and abroad. The big Shuhuaxiu in Yuxian is the only place where you can see it. Now, in order to cooperate with tourism, the Great Shu Hua performance is performed indoors every weekend, and interested tourists can arrange a weekend tour.

If you travel to Yuxian County, Hebei Province, I suggest you take a walk in Wenquan Ancient Town and see this small town which is famous for its spring water, ancient building sites and exquisite folk culture.

Nuanquan Ancient Town is an AAA-level scenic spot located in Yuxian County, Hebei Province, with a history of 1400 years. The West Castle of Guzhen, also known as the "First Fort of China Folk Custom", was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With the continuous expansion and transformation, its houses, temples, theaters and academies have been built one after another, attracting countless tourists with its unique architectural style.

As the sun sets, stroll along Qingshiban Road in the ancient town, watch bamboo weaving and appreciate the unique paper-cutting of Yin and Yang stippling in the ancient town. Tired and hungry, I stopped to taste the delicious, salty dried tofu, sweet and crisp sugar and sesame leaves sold in shops in ancient towns, and brought two pieces of Yuxian fried yellow cakes. That smell, gee, makes me a clumsy person unable to describe it in words.

If you like to see ancient cities and castles, you should go to Yuxian. You can live in Yuxian, then visit one or two places a day and go back to Yuxian at night, because the castle is only twenty or thirty kilometers. You can stay in Wenquan Ancient Town for one night, because there are several ancient villages around you to visit carefully.

Yuxian, located in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, has the same pronunciation as "jade", not "rain" or "position". Yuxian Scenic Area includes yu zhou Ancient City, Wenquan Ancient Town, Xiaowutai Mountain Jinhe Scenic Area, Feihuyu air grassland Scenic Area and Shenquan Cave. It is suggested that you must go to Wenquan Ancient Town, where there are many special snacks, rich cultural heritage and many ancient buildings. The most famous is "Dashuhuaxiu in Hot Spring Ancient Town", which is an ancient festival fire unique to Hot Spring Town in Yuxian County. It has a history of more than 300 years. Splashing molten iron on the ancient city wall forms thousands of sparks, which is called "tree flower" because it looks like a leafy crown. Wenquan Ancient Town invested10.50 billion yuan to build an indoor grand Shuhuaxiu, which, as an ancient skill, became a "provincial intangible cultural heritage" in Hebei. I have been there for several years, and I don't think I will regret it. Finally, it is suggested to go back to the county seat for accommodation after watching the Shu Hua Show. The price is not high, and the conditions are better than the town.
