The ancient village of Changzhi Hongni Village: a pearl hidden deep in the Taihang Mountains.
Deep in the Taihang Mountains in Changzhi, Shanxi Province, there is a picturesque ancient village - Hongni Village, named after the Hongni River next to the village. The mountains and rivers here are interdependent and the natural scenery is beautiful.
Walking into Hauni Village is like traveling through a time tunnel. The ancient stone roads are winding and winding, connecting quaint houses. Most of these houses are made of stone, which is strong and durable. The green tiles on the roof are stacked in layers and are well-proportioned, blending in with the surrounding mountains and rivers. There are also some ancient temples and ancestral halls in the village.
The Hauni Gorge next to the village is a unique natural landscape:
⛰️On both sides of the canyon are towering and steep cliffs, which seem to be split by a giant axe. They are vertically steep and majestic, giving people a strong visual impact.
💎Waterfall: The Hauni River passes through the canyon. When it flows here, due to the large terrain difference, the spectacular Hauni Falls is formed. The waterfall pours down from a hundred-meter-high cliff, it is very spectacular!
🏞Dense vegetation and shady trees in the canyon complement the rivers and waterfalls, forming a unique beauty.
🌈Hongni Gorge not only has natural beauty, but also contains rich historical and cultural connotations. In ancient times, this place was an important part of the Shanxi-Henan Ancient Road, a transportation artery connecting Shanxi and Henan, and witnessed the prosperity of ancient commerce and cultural exchanges.
🌟Here, visitors can enter the canyon along the plank road, enjoy the magnificent scenery of the canyon and the majestic waterfalls at close range, and feel the charm of nature.
🎊The scenery here is free. There are B&Bs in and around the village where you can stay.
