Qi River

5.0/5
1 reviews
Qi River, known in ancient times as Qishui, originates from Qizi Mountain in Lingchuan, Shanxi, flows through Qi County, Hebi, Henan, and is an important tributary of the Wei River in the Haihe River Basin. It is also the mother river of the ancient land of Zhaoge and is known as the "Poetry River of China." The section flowing through Qi County is nestled against the foothills of the Taihang Mountains on its west bank, with a river valley that alternates between narrow and wide, featuring both canyon cliffs and gentle mudflats. The banks retain numerous historical imprints from the Yin-Shang and Wei State periods, with ancient ferry crossings and stone bridges scattered along the riverside, witnessing the past of the ancient capital of Zhaoge. Following ecological restoration, riverside walkways and wetland view belts have been built along the banks. Reeds and weeping willows spread along the river, and the water area has become a habitat for water birds such as egrets and herons. The scenery has its own charm in every season: lush vegetation in spring and summer, and colorful forests along the banks in autumn. It preserves the poetic charm found in ancient poetry while also witnessing the contemporary changes in river and lake ecology. When you come to Qi County and stroll along the banks of the Qi River, you can feel the clear river view beneath the Taihang Mountains and understand the ancient Central Plains culture flowing within the river water.Qi County · 9km from downtown

The scenery is really good, a Feng Shui treasure land in the deep mountains. But the distance between the gate and the scenic spot is dozens of kilometers, which is unimaginable. You have to take a local's private car. The car condition is really bad. The private cars are parked randomly, causing congestion. It's too chaotic.

It's not tiring to visit the scenic area. You can stop and go and finish the tour in about four hours. I feel relaxed and look forward to visiting again next time! The bronze statue of Emperor Xuanwu on the top of the bronze roof is taken by a tour bus. There are many people visiting! Everyone comes to worship with a pious heart!

🌿 Qi River·China's Poetic River | Strolling through the secret landscape of the Book of Songs 🌊 1. The beauty of water quality: a rare "ecological miracle" in the north - Clear as glass, touch like silk: The river water is extremely transparent. When rowing, you can see "water plants like dense forests, sand and stones moving with the waves", and you can see fish and small stones directly. The water is refreshing and refreshing. Some swimmers even praise it as "smooth as silk, sweet as spring water", and jokingly call it "entering the water like a fish". - Pure ecology, rare creatures live: As one of the few unpolluted rivers in North China, the Qi River breeds the "giant panda in the water" peach blossom jellyfish, and is also famous for the "three treasures of the Qi River" (carp, silk-wrapped duck eggs, and seedless dates). The water quality has created unique products. 🏞️ 2. Scenery: From poetic and picturesque countryside to internet celebrity landmark - Classical poetry: willows on the river bank, blue waves reflecting the mountains, "like a fairyland" when the morning mist is lingering, "waves like diamonds falling on jade belts" on sunny days, and "big and small pearls falling on jade plates" after the rain. The ancients' artistic conception of "Qi River gurgling, cypress oars and pine boats" can still be felt today. - Modern vitality: - Sangyuan Town: Blue brick and gray tile houses in northern Henan blend with food streets and cultural and art markets, the water under the bridge falls into a natural water park, and the summer crowds surge. - Qi River Valley: 5D glass plank road is suspended above the "Little Jiuzhai", and the 2,380-meter high mountain glass drifting is winding and swirling, suitable for both movement and stillness. - Wetland Park: a national ecological demonstration area, with reeds and water birds, hot springs that do not freeze in winter, and the scenery of "green mirror reflecting the sky" can be enjoyed in all seasons. 📜 3. The depth of cultural context: a river of poetry that has flowed for thousands of years - The mother river of "The Book of Songs": 39 ancient poems sing the scenery of the Qi River. "Looking at the Qi River, the green bamboos are lush" in "Wei Feng" outlines the earliest landscape painting, and Li Bai, Wang Wei and others have left their footprints. - Symphony of seclusion and life: old people can still be seen fishing on the shore like sculptures, and chess games are played under the shade of trees. It coexists with folk performances and outdoor classes in Sangyuan Town, and ancient and modern life resonates here. ⚠️ 4. Hidden worries and protection: fragile purity - The double-edged sword of tourism development: the surge in tourists has led to a decrease in wetland birds, and some sections of the river have too many artificial traces (such as dense puddles), and the lack of facilities such as toilets has been criticized. - Conservation actions: Local authorities have designated protected areas, nurtured wetlands, and built them with the concept of "sponge cities" (sunken green spaces, planted grass ditches, etc.), striving to balance ecology and tourism. 📝 V. Travelers say: Practical tips - Best experience: - Summer water-friendly: Swimming in Heilongtan, playing in the water under Sangyuan Bridge, and feeling the "cool" river bath. - Autumn poetry: Cycling along the river or strolling along the wetland plank road, watching the golden elm and the clear water. 💎 Summary: Why is it worth a visit? > The beauty of the Qi River lies in the "clear and clean" water, the leisure of "half a day of floating life", and the thickness of "a stream of poetic soul". It is not as magnificent as the Li River, but with its gentle and jade-like northern temperament, it has become a "paradise" within reach of urban people. It is better to go there early while its purity has not faded - after all, the promise of "green water and green mountains" needs you and me to witness together.

During the Olympics, I took my family to see the show while the scenic spot was holding an event. It was amazing. I didn't know there was such a show in Hebi before. The format was very novel. It was my first time to see it, and my children liked it very much. Especially the last scene, the scene was very grand, the sound and light, the audience was shocked, and they kept exclaiming "wow~wow~" and were busy taking pictures. I strongly recommend that people in Hebi go and see it. It's quite good! ! I heard that the second and third phases are under construction. I hope they will be unveiled soon and meet the people in Hebi!

去比干庙游玩,真的收获满满。一到那儿,庙前的牌坊看着特别庄重,上面的字有力又好看。走进庙门,影壁上的“忠义”二字很显眼。再往里走,比干大殿很气派,殿里的比干塑像让人一下就感受到他的正直。碑廊也不容错过,陈列着很多碑刻,上面的字有的刚劲,有的飘逸,都是人们对比干的追思。在这儿逛一圈,我深刻感受到了历史的厚重,比干的忠义精神也让我十分敬佩 。

Chaoge Cultural Park is a large-scale Shang Dynasty theme cultural park built around the Lutai site, a key cultural relic protection unit in Henan Province, located by the Qi River. It is said that Lutai was the palace area of ​​King Zhou of Shang. The "Historical Records" records: "King Wu defeated King Zhou and distributed the wealth of Lutai", so Lutai is also called "China's first ancient treasury" and the source of the folk god of wealth by historians.
