Spring Journey to the Southern Taihang Mountains (2) Scenery of Wangmangling

Wangmangling, located in Guxiao Township, Lingchuan County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, is the highest peak of the Southern Taihang Mountains, It is said to be named after Wang Mang, who, during the late Western Han Dynasty, chased Liu Xiu and set up camp here. This place is situated at the most perilous part of the fault zone between the Loess Plateau and the Central Plains, consisting of over 50 uneven peaks, forming a typical karst terrain and cliff rock landscape, representing the natural scenery of the eight hundred li Taihang Mountains. In the morning, braving the drizzle, I entered the scenic area, took the scenic bus along the winding mountain road, and reached the summit. The spring rain was dense, the air was fresh, and the mountains were completely shrouded in fog, with zero visibility. Since I've come, I'll be at peace with it, let things take their course, and wait patiently. 👍Highly recommended: It wasn't until noon, at twelve o'clock, that the rain gradually stopped, and the distant clouds quietly opened a few slits, through the misty fog, I could vaguely see the distant black peaks undulating continuously, like a fairyland. As the fog slowly cleared, a magnificent and vast ink painting scroll unfolded before my eyes, with majestic mountains, towering peaks, rugged mountain shapes, vast sea of clouds, and the mountains covered with yellow forsythia flowers, presenting an extraordinary and elegant scenery...
