Wei Taihang, Qi Feng Juan Xiu. The color is mysterious and the legend is long.

In Taihang Mountain, more than 6 kilometers west of Xingtai City, there is a scenic spot called Tianhe Mountain. Tianhe Mountain is also the birthplace of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, so it is also called "China Love Mountain".

One day in early June, the dance school attended by my granddaughter Guoguo organized the families of three young students to take a one-day trip to Tianhe Mountain in the heat. With the encouragement of my son and daughter-in-law, my wife and I also went together.

Tianhe Mountain belongs to Xindu District of Xingtai City, with a scenic area of 3 square kilometers, which is called the greenest place in Taihang Mountain. In the scenic area, Qifeng stands tall and the trees are lush. The mountain spring gurgles and the waterfall is like a curtain. Love elements can be seen everywhere. Passion drifting, exciting and fun. Walking at high altitude, treading on thin ice. Therefore, Tianhe Mountain has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists for its numerous scenic spots.

Enter the entrance of Tianhe Mountain and walk up the steps. On a huge wall, nine pictographs are written: the place where the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl took place. Seeing these words, I was amazed to say that the story of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" that we listened to from adults when we were young and looked up at the stars at night happened in Taihang Mountain, which is more than 1 kilometers away from our hometown! I thought, I must have a good look at this "love mountain".

in the mountain of love, the elements of love are everywhere, showing the characteristics of love. You see, the "heart-shaped" wooden hole in the love square, young couples have taken pictures as a souvenir. The word "love" is engraved on the Huagang rock on the side of the square. The words "China Love Mountain" can be seen everywhere on the slope along the road. And the "Queqiao" and "Qixi Square". It makes visitors seem to be really around the cowherd and weaver girl.

We took a bus from Love Square for about 1 kilometers, so we couldn't go any further. The driver and tour guide led us up a road under construction. At this point, we have come halfway up the mountain. Surrounded by green peaks, there are houses on a hill in the distance, and there is a passage to the mountain below. Take back your eyes and look into the mountain stream. There are deep green plants at your feet. A winding mountain road stretches like a white belt, surrounded by green gaps.

Watching and taking photos, we soon came to a protruding cave. This hole is shaped like a "7" with a height of about 2 to 3 meters, which seems to be newly excavated. Entering from the bottom of the word "7", there is a huge "peach heart" hole at the corner of the word "7", which is the "heart hole" of love.

Couples standing in the "heart hole" and taking a photo of the front or back will be an excellent memorial for visiting the Love Mountain. Encouraged by the tour guide and the headmaster of the dance school, my wife and I also had a chic time, taking romantic photos of the back hand in hand and the front photo of the "heart" with both hands above their heads. A colleague of my former unit sent a WeChat after seeing it and said, "Wow! This photo is good! Hold your hand and grow old with your son! Always be United and happy! "

There are many exciting and interesting places in Tianhe Mountain. However, they are all young people's favorites. After they took their children to swing and play grass skiing, they climbed to the top of the mountain dozens of meters above the ground to play more challenging projects. After they went up, my wife and I rested and waited at the foot of the mountain. Look up at the two groups of ropes across two hills above.

A group of iron cable bridges on the Dadu River are paved with colored glass plates with a distance of 2 to 3 centimeters between them. Another group of ropes, only a few ropes can be seen below, I don't know what the project is, how to play it? There is a snack restaurant on the roadside where we rest. The boss is a middle-aged man.

Because it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, no one ate, and the boss sat playing with his mobile phone. I chatted with my boss, who is from Xingtai city and has been here for six or seven years. I asked him what the two groups of ropes above were, and he said that the group of planking was called "treading on thin ice" and the other one was a high-altitude bicycle.

we waited and looked up from time to time. I saw the tourists wearing safety ropes. One end of the rope hung on another rope above. They walked forward step by step, holding the rope. Because they are high in the air, they step by step.

I think they must be very nervous when they look at countless glass plates in front of them and are in the air tens of meters high. This kind of play is really treading on thin ice! However, the 8-year-old granddaughter Guoguo and her parents actually reached the other side step by step and returned smoothly. Later, Guoguo and her mother played high-altitude bicycle riding on another rope with great interest.

rafting is the most passionate activity for young people in Tianhe Mountain. Tianhe Mountain Tourist Area has the biggest canyon rafting project in North China, which is known as "the first rafting for couples in China" because of its big drop, fast current and thrilling. The total length of drifting is 3.6 kilometers and the total drop is 69 meters. There are more than 2 gaps in size, with a maximum gap of more than 2 meters.

More than a dozen young parents and children in the same trade were very excited as soon as they arrived at the drifting point. I saw them wearing waterproof plastic clothes, under the guidance of the staff, sitting down the river in rubber rafts respectively. In the process of falling faster and faster and driving through corners, in the process of splashing and drifting involuntarily, they must have experienced the taste of tension, excitement and refreshment.

before drifting, the young people repeatedly encouraged us both to go rafting. But we still refused their kindness. Because, after all, it is not the time to be young. When you are old, you must serve the old, or safety is the most important.

Tianhe Mountain is a picturesque scenic spot. Because there is a story of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" circulating here, and there are a lot of cultural relics, it has been confirmed by the relevant state departments as the original place of the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. With the help of this natural advantage, Tianhe Mountain registered the trademark of "China Love Mountain". Not only that, Tianhe Mountain was also awarded the reputation of "China Tanabata Culture Hometown".

Since then, Tianhe Mountain has become synonymous with Qixi culture in China. Every Tanabata season, Tianhe Mountain is crowded with tourists, and many young people come here to make wishes and tell each other their hearts.

Tianhe Mountain, the mountain of love. From generation to generation, through the ages! If you have a yearning friend, you may wish to visit here.
