geographical position

Wuyuezhai Scenic Area, located in the northwest of Lingshou County, Hebei Province, is named for its five peaks standing side by side and the characteristics of the five mountains. Wuyuezhai Forest Park is developed and managed by Hebei Wuyuezhai Tourism Development Co., Ltd. It is part of Manshan Nature Reserve in Hebei Province, with a total area of 88 square kilometers.

Geology and geomorphology

The Wuyuezhai Scenic Area belongs to the eastern foot of the middle Taihang Mountains in the North China Paleocontinent. The Middle and Lower Proterozoic metamorphic rocks are widely exposed in the area. Their lithology is mainly gneiss, granulite, amphibolite schist and porphyry granite. Due to the strong uplift and differential fault block activities of the Cenozoic Himalayan movement, a series of steep peaks with relatively large elevation difference were formed. The park is located in the Middle-Mountain area of the fault block developed on the basis of the ancient metamorphic rocks. Because of the fault block structure, the mountain gullies in the scenic area are steep, powerful and dangerous, and the valleys are numerous and dangerous. The main peak of Wuyuezhai is independent of the five peaks. For example, a group of huge bonsai is lifted by the chest of Taihang Mountain. The main peak is 1945.6 meters and the lowest peak is more than 1880 meters. The mountains are steep and dangerous, with steep cliffs on the southeastern side and vertical valleys up to hundreds of meters deep. Only a dozen square meters of the peak rock platform, three facing a mighty cliff, extremely dangerous. Standing at the top of the peak and looking around, the sky and the earth are the same in the vastness, and the mountains and mountains are in full view, so that people can truly experience the realm of "Ling Jingding, a panoramic view of the mountains and small". Wuyuezhai has abundant geological resources and peculiar mountain topography. Many peaks, such as monkey head peak, stone hump, mandarin duck stone, general stone, etc., have strange shapes and vivid human-like and animal-like features.

climate

Although Wuyuezhai Scenic Area belongs to the temperate continental monsoon climate, it is located in the mountainous area with a high altitude, which is hindered by the mountainous area and forms a unique microclimate. Summer is cool and pleasant, with an average annual temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, an average temperature of 19 degrees Celsius in July, an annual precipitation of 700-850 mm, and a large temperature difference between day and night. The extreme minimum temperature in winter is - 26 C, and the ice and snow can stay for more than 210 days. The climate here is also known as "recreational climate". The air in the forest is not only clean and pollution-free, but also emits organic bactericidal substances, such as monoterpenes, diterpenes and sesquiterpenes. They have anti-biological, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, can regulate visceral activities, inhibit mental dryness, and contain 15,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter in the air, which can treat hypertension and neurasthenia. Diabetes mellitus and so on have certain effect.

hydrology

Wuyuezhai Scenic Area is the birthplace of Cihe River. It is formed by geology, biology and precipitation. Springs, streams, pools and waterfalls can be seen everywhere, in different shapes, all the year round. And the water quality is excellent, cool and sweet. The famous "Yanzhao First Waterfall" is the largest waterfall in the north, with a drop of 108 meters. A white drill flies down from half cloud and half fog, blown out ten thousand magnolias by the wind, and crushed to pieces at the bottom of the cliff. It instantly turns into a smoke, drifting and dim. It is water within ten feet, smoke beyond ten feet, which makes people feel magnificent and magnificent. Forget yourself and melt into nature.
