In addition, the villagers in Dongyu Mountain have lived in the deep mountains for a long time, isolated from the world, and have preserved many unique village styles and customs, which are integrated with the quiet and profound natural beauty to form a beautiful picture.
At the junction of Dingxiang, Wutai and Yuxian counties in Shanxi Province, the ancient Hutuo River scoured the branch of Taihang Mountain into a canyon dozens of kilometers long, and Dongyu in Dingxiang County was in the middle of the canyon. It is only 600 meters above sea level, which is the lowest place in Xinzhou area.
The mild and humid climate, together with all kinds of rocks, flowing water all the year round, criss-crossing valleys, villages built by mountains, and ancient and charming legends, has formed a beautiful scenery with simple nature, picturesque scenery and unique characteristics.
A variety of economic trees such as pepper, persimmon, walnut, black jujube, Chinese toon and golden jujube are planted at the bottom of the half slope ditch in the valley. In Xia Zhishi in spring, the mountain flowers are blooming, and the chili is as red as fire in the Millennium season. Before and after the cold dew, persimmon leaves are red and colorful everywhere, accompanied by beautiful scenery, simple folk customs, very picturesque and poetic. Therefore, many art and photography experts and enthusiasts come to take photos and sketch every year.
If Wutai Mountain is a cool Buddhist resort, then Dingxiang Dongyu is a warm and beautiful spiritual destination, and its beauty needs to be quietly tasted. There is no strong commercial atmosphere, and there is no noise of people. Climb the mountain casually, take photos, pick a handful of peppers, pick an apple or persimmon casually, or go to the field to help the old farmer push a plow, or pick a mushroom from the stump casually.
If you are interested again, go and see the local old Sophora japonica trees that have been growing for hundreds of years. The walnut trees, persimmon trees, Chinese toon trees and bark are mottled and cracked, telling the story of ancient villages. Or, live in a local stone cave home and experience the feeling of no air conditioning in summer and no heating in winter.
Everything here is so natural, and this nature is the most pristine charm here.
