It seems like everything here is made of stone

It has now become a popular check-in spot for hikers!

On the layers of mountains

There is a place called Bingbuzhai

People can't tell its story.

Only a name is left in the village

Bingbu Village is located in the heart of the Taihang Mountains in Huixian County, South Taihang. This hike is about 10 kilometers long and is relatively easy.

After autumn comes, you can see rows of hawthorn trees along the way. The autumn flavor in the mountains is always more obvious than in the city.

The houses in the village are all built of thick stone, retaining their ancient appearance. I heard from the villagers that living in such houses is warm in winter and cool in summer.

When you go to South Taihang in autumn, you can not only enjoy the red leaves and pick hawthorns, but you can also sit under the hawthorn trees and taste farm delicacies.

Wuliandong is said to be an unfinished cliff road, also known as the Bingbu Station Cliff Road. This road was built in the 1970s by villagers from Bingbu Station and Fenghuangzhai villages on the second stack of Taihang Mountains to open up a road down the mountain.

The simple villagers used their wisdom to build glory, cut through mountains and split rocks, and connect with the outside world!
