In the last two days of January 2019, a few friends from the Shanghai brigade met to cross the Taihang Mountains. In order to arrive at the meeting place at 8 o’clock in the morning on the 30th, they stayed in Linzhou City, Anyang the day before, and ate local mutton soup, which tasted good !
I had breakfast at the hotel at 7 o’clock in the morning on January 30, and after half an hour’s journey, I arrived at the meeting place.
After the assembly of the five vehicles, the first Ford car led by the team leader Encounter and the guide Lao Zhao, my second Peng Peng H9, the third secret Ford, the fourth Dabai Luxun, and the rear Ford pickup truck of Mr. Joe, started to cross the Taihang Mountains.

The huge ice hanging on the dam is very spectacular
quiet village, green lake
There is no one in such a beautiful scenic spot, as if it was reserved by us
Winding up the mountain and entering the steep wall-hanging road, it is not easy to repair these roads. Looking down, the palms are sweating!
These cliffs are cut like an axe
This flyover is locked by General Iron
There must be a lot of people on holidays.
Fox Fairy Cave, it takes about 10 minutes to climb in from this cave, 5,000 square meters of cave, a legend of Fox Fairy, due to limited time, did not enter the cave
Huashan, all kinds of strange-shaped stones, the whole mountain is white stones, and there is an old tree. Many painters come here in spring and summer, shouting into the valley, and the echo can travel far.
This ancient tree has no leaves in winter, a bit like Populus euphratica forest
At noon, I found a farm restaurant in the village to fill my stomach. Although it is in the mountains, the price is still very affordable; look at the map and move on.
Entering Taihang Mountain from Henan Province, the goal is to cross the border between Hebei and Shanxi. Today, I paid 600 yuan for refueling to avoid running out of food in the mountains.
As we walked further into the mountains, the weather gradually became cloudy, with snowflakes floating in the sky…
The highway below the mountain passes through the tunnel

Mr. Qiao is over 60, and he is fiercer than young people
From the cave bell, the soil in the cave is 5 centimeters thick, and with the snow, the windshield is blown away
The terraced fields on the mountain have been covered with snow
It’s getting dark
Entering the village to find a place to live, the road in the village is too narrow, and the door between the two houses cannot be opened, exams
There are many farmhouse hotels in the scenic area. Since it was years ago and there were no tourists in winter, they were all closed. After searching many villages, we finally found one that was ready to be renovated. After the team leader met and Lao Zhao communicated with the owner of the store, we finished our meal here , stay. The conditions were relatively harsh, there was no water, and the heating power of the air conditioner was not enough. I asked for two quilts and fell asleep as soon as I lay down.
An unforgettable day, the stars came out at night.
After rubbing the car with cold well water, I can finally see the front and back
Have a good breakfast at 8 o’clock and prepare for the Taihang Tianlu crossing the next day

Ask the villagers for directions, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, the road ahead is the Taihang Heavenly Road, and the distance back is similar, let’s discuss it and move on…
Driving on the snow on the edge of the cliff, slipping, entering a ditch, dangerous
The Tianlu on the top of Taihang Mountain, with cliffs on both sides
After dozens of kilometers, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

After two days of crossing the Taihang Mountains, the trip ended at Hongqi Quyuan. I would like to thank the team leader, Lao Zhao, Secret, Dabai, Master Qiao and their families for their trust and support, and look forward to the next event.
