Xiongguan huju

Xiongguan refers to the closed building at the east gate of Tongguan Old Town. Juju means squatting or sitting. Huju refers to the corner of Qilin Mountain outside the East Gate, which looks like a tiger crouching at the door. The East Gate Tower faces the Yellow River in the north, facing the corner of Qilin Mountain, and the Yuanwanggou natural barrier in the east. It is the only way to enter the customs from the east, which is extremely dangerous and has the trend of "one person guards it and ten thousand people can't force it". When entering the customs, you can climb up the steep slope outside the East Gate and look up at the Guanlou and the towering Qilin Mountain, just like a tiger guarding the East Gate of Shaanxi, which is famous for its grandeur and preciseness.

Jingou longqiu

There is a waterfall above Longqiao (Qiu Qiu), and there is a deep pool under the waterfall called Longqiao. The scenery of Longqiu in the forbidden ditch is in the north of Shimenguan in the forbidden ditch, where the forbidden ditch water meets the Tonghe River. It is about 2 kilometers north of Tongguan Old Town.

The forbidden ditch is long and deep, with running water under it. The water source comes from Haochayu in Qinling Mountains, and the spring water flows along the way to Shimenguan at the mouth of the ditch. The gully bed suddenly changed, the turbulence went down, and the droplets splashed, which seemed to be hanging in vain. The gap between the ditch water and the river is compatible, and it merges into a deep pool. The blue waves are rippling, the fish are jumping and making waves, the trees are shaded, the flowers are fragrant and the birds are singing, which has the charm of Jiangnan water town.

Qin Lingyun Ping

Screen. Screen. Qin Lingyun's picture compares the misty natural scenery of Qinling Mountains to the picture of Tongguan.

The Qinling Mountains south of Tongguan are undulating and green, which is pleasing to the eye. Every time it rains and snows, the scene gets better. The clouds in the middle of the mountains, if floating, seem to float, come suddenly and go without a trace. For a while, if the dragon leaps, for a while, if the horse gallops. Sometimes silky, sometimes unstoppable, or like a hat worn on the mountain, or like a plain belt around the waist, or like a cotton ball.

Zhongtiao Snow Case

Zhongtiaoshan refers to Zhongtiaoshan, in today's Shanxi Province. Its western end is across the Yellow River from Tongguan, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhou Pu in the Ming Dynasty. The case of Zhongtiao Snow refers to the quiet snow scene of Zhongtiao Mountain. At that time, Tongguan was a military town, its defense range was across the Yellow River in the north, there was a garrison city in Zhou Pu, and a general manager managed some Guanjin ferries in Zhou Pu. Tongguan ancient town is the best place to enjoy the snow case in Zhongtiao.

Feng Lingxiao Du

Wind chimes, the tomb of Nu Wa in myths and legends. Located in the Yellow River beach outside the east gate of Tongguan Old Town. Fenglingdu is called "fenglingdu".

Tongguan City is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Weihe River. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, this was the transportation hub and waterway. In the sixth year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (AD 1728), Liu Fengling "had eleven official ships and eighty-four sailors" (continued Tongguan County Records). There are also private and upstream and downstream ships that often pass by businessmen.

The Yellow River rises in spring.

Everything recovers, spring blossoms, and the ice and snow melt. The ice and snow freeze and thaw among the mountains in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the flow of the Yellow River suddenly increases. Standing in the north of Tongguan, overlooking the east, only sparkling ice accompanied by the river, surging down, the water is the same color. At present, a leaf-shaped ice boat proudly stands on the waves, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes hidden and sometimes obvious, and some line up in a long queue to compete for a crossing; Some people are alone and wandering on the shore. The sound of wind, water and the rumble of ice are magnificent and exciting feelings.

Night view photos of ancestral temple

Zen building, an ancient building built on the city gate, was stationed upstairs to observe and report to the police. The night view of watchtower refers to the view of Tongguan watchtower (referring to Ximen Tower) at sunset.

The sun sets, the sunset glow is like fire, and the tall and towering watchtower-Ximen Tower, is covered by Jinxiang and surrounded by colorful clouds. The carved columns are colourful, the cornices hook the heart, radiant, and the watchtower is bright and dark, with angular refraction and colorful. The railing is empty, and Xia Hong Road is like a bunch. Around the bridge building, "Guihong is silently scrambling to gather, and the geese are flapping their wings." The tourists upstairs, pointing to the mountains and rivers, seem to appreciate the scenery in the painting.

Daoguanzhong

Taoist temple refers to Taoist temple. Taoist clock is famous for being different from ordinary "magic clock".

According to legend, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (about AD 1590), the Yellow River flooded, and two bells, a man and a woman, made a noise. The female bell (iron bell) stops at Tongguan, "it's sunny." Male bells (bronze bells) flow in Shaanxi Province. In the 24th year of Wanli (AD 1596), this strange mother clock hung on the bell pavilion at the top of Qilin Mountain. There are towering trees and white clouds around the bell tower, and the morning bell has rhythm. "The palace merchants are changing, the laws and regulations are the same, and the sound is far away." Crisp and melodious, mountains and rivers are colorful.
