Live Your Best Lives
Luojie Village is located more than 50 kilometers northwest of Huixian City, in Nanyao Village, Shayao Township; it is located at the junction of Henan and Shanxi provinces. The village has more than 170 people and consists of five natural villages: Huluba, Beiyao, Nanyao, Taohuagou, and Shangfengqiu. They are all distributed on the red cliffs at an altitude of 1,100 meters. There is no prosperity of the city and no hustle and bustle of scenic spots. It is filled with primitive wilderness everywhere, primitive and simple. There is a book written by a knight: transportation basically relies on walking, public security basically relies on dogs, communication basically relies on shouting, heating basically relies on shivering; clothing basically relies on spinning, food basically relies on the party, and a wife basically relies on thinking; perhaps this is the true portrayal of Luojie Village.
Luojie Village has a long history and is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. In ancient times, it was a place often fought over by military strategists. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a female general camped here and got the name. The Sui and Tang Ancient Road runs through the entire Luojie Village, connecting Shanxi and Henan provinces. Many heroes camped here during the Western Han Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many generals fought here for territory. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, wise men from all sides lived in seclusion and practiced in the Great Buddha Hall of Zhaolong Temple in Luojie Village. Even during the modern Anti-Japanese War, this was the main base of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains. Si Fengwu from the village once fought against the Japanese alongside Guo Xing, the prototype of Li Xiangyang in "Plain Guerrillas", and was named an anti-Japanese hero.
As history passed, Luojie Village was gradually forgotten by history. Compared with the surrounding Guoliang Village, Luojie Village has lagged behind for decades. In 2000, Si Shuanbao, who had been doing business outside for many years, and his grandfather Si Fengwu and his parents were still living in the mountains. Shuanbao looked at the rich natural resources of Luojie Village and the bitter mountain village life of his parents and felt anxious. With his own persistence, he invested his savings from business in the promotion of Luojie Village and built the first farmhouse in Luojie Village - Hongde Villa. He invited CCTV, Henan TV, Hunan Satellite TV, Tianjin TV, Beijing TV, Dahe Daily, Henan Daily, Xinxiang Daily and many other media to report on Luojie Village. Even the ladies of noble families have their blooming season. Luojie Village, an unknown place, has gradually attracted the attention of many people.
Luojie Village has a warm temperate continental monsoon climate. In spring, mountain flowers bloom in Luojie Village, creating beautiful scenery. In summer, you can come here to escape the heat. In autumn, the sky is high and the forests are colorful. In winter, the village is covered with snow, which is beautiful beyond words. It is suitable for travel in all seasons.
