Qikou National Scenic Area

Qikou National Scenic Area gets its name from Datong Qi. "Qi" refers to dangerous shoals of sand and stone in shallow water. As the Yellow River flows through here, the river channel narrows, making it difficult for boats and rafts to pass, forcing them to dock, unload cargo, and switch to land transport. With its water-land transfer wharf, Qikou rose to prominence during the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty and became a major commercial hub in the north for the next two hundred years. Qikou Ancient Town is the main part of the scenic area. The five-li long street runs along the mountain and river, and the stone-paved street surface, along with Ming and Qing dynasty commercial establishments and old shops, preserves the traditional streetscape. Heilong Temple is built against Wohu Mountain. From there, you can overlook the Yellow River, the mouth of the Qiushui River, and the full view of the ancient town. The temple's opera stage also has a unique acoustic effect. Xiwan Village preserves extensive Ming and Qing dynasty residential courtyards, while Lijiashan Village is characterized by cave dwellings built into the mountainside in stacked tiers. Traditional dwellings are also preserved in the Zhaizishan area. Along the Yellow River canyon, you can also admire natural water-eroded reliefs. The views of rock walls formed by the long-term action of river water, wind, and rain stretch out, showcasing the unique natural landscape of the Yellow River canyon.Lin County · 31.1km from downtown

Lijiashan Village

Lijiashan Village is an ancient cave-dwelling village hidden in a loess mountain hollow south of Qikou Ancient Town, surrounded by mountains on three sides and near the Yellow River and the Qiushui River. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Qikou developed into a commercial port thanks to Yellow River water transport, and merchants surnamed Li who did business there settled their families in this hollow, gradually forming a clan village. The painter Wu Guanzhong visited the village twice for inspiration and listed it as one of the three great discoveries of his life. The village spreads out in layers along the mountain terrain, with Ming and Qing dynasty cave-dwelling courtyards stacked from the foot of the mountain to the ridge along the steep slope, forming a multi-dimensional village with staggered layers. The upper courtyards often sit on the roofs of the lower cave dwellings, and stone paths connect the homes. Walking through them, you can see the layout where the cave dwellings are intertwined with the mountain. Courtyards of wealthy families from that era are still preserved on the east and west slopes, with exquisite details such as brick carvings, stone carvings, and upturned eaves. Some of the cave dwellings in the village are still inhabited today, where traditional dwellings and daily life are intertwined.Lin County · 40.5km from downtown

It rises with the trend, like waves, with a strong sense of layering. There are seven alleys in the village, two horizontal and five vertical, which evenly connect the courtyards. There are more than 40 courtyards that are well preserved. The courtyards are connected and the households are connected. The walls of the buildings are eclectic and varied in style. Different terrains follow the procedures and are staggered. They are very harmonious with the surrounding environment. The various facilities for anti-theft, fire prevention, drainage, and flood discharge are very exquisitely configured. Every brick, stone, and wood here is filled with a strong traditional cultural atmosphere. Various carvings are ingeniously conceived and delicately portrayed.

Definitely worth seeing! With over thirty actors, every movement and every line was incredibly professional and dedicated – not at all perfunctory! A fantastic live performance! The stage is movable, and the scenery and stage design were meticulously crafted! Thumbs up! 👍 Everything was very well-conceived, and the content was incredibly rich! I learned so much more about the history of Qikou!

Xiwang Village is located on the banks of the Qiushui River. The village is nestled against the mountains and faces the water, with seven stone-paved streets (two horizontal and five vertical) connecting the courtyards, forming a castle-like, enclosed village with layered, interconnected courtyards and households. For ¥2 per person, we visited one of the families. The elderly lady was very hospitable, giving a detailed introduction to her ancestral home. The stone carvings on the roof beams were exquisite, and she even offered to take photos for us.

The Yellow River Gallery, also known as the Yellow River Hundred Miles Water Erosion Relief, is located in the Qikou section of the Yellow River Grand Canyon in Shanxi and Shaanxi. It is a precious natural heritage. It was formed in the Triassic period. It is a natural cliff relief formed by the combination of groundwater dissolution and river erosion on the thick sandstone of the Triassic system. The Yellow River Gallery has a strong sense of art, like calligraphy, architecture, people, or birds and animals. Different people may see different artistic conceptions from different angles. It makes people marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

It is a holy place for children's education. It is worth taking the kids there to see how children lived and revolutionized before liberation.

The whole temple is like a time capsule, and it instantly puts you in the Tang Dynasty, as if time has frozen. I will definitely bring my daughter here when I have one in the future - determined. The "General History of China" published by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences verifies that Wu Zetian was actually born here. There are stone lions from the Tang Dynasty, which are very different from the modern ones, more imposing, and more confident. There are also stone tablets and other cultural relics from various dynasties in the museum. Wenshui is a small city with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is recommended to experience the Phoenix City located next to the Dragon City!

Having been there and seen it, the obsession has been let go. I always wanted to see it again. I was afraid it would disappear one day. Looking up, I marveled at the wisdom of the ancients. Those who appreciate architecture will certainly not be disappointed.
