Hello everyone! Today, I want to take you into a place full of charm and magic—the Shentan Grand Canyon.
As soon as I stepped into this canyon located in Yongji City, Shanxi Province, I was immediately attracted by its unique atmosphere. It has been home to legends such as the martial saint Guan Yu forging swords and practicing martial arts, as well as the story of Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, cultivating here. It seems as if every corner is laden with the weight of history.
Walking along the canyon, the complex and diverse geological structures are astonishing. The unique and magnificent terrain truly deserves the reputation of being called 'Zhongtiao's Marvelous Gorge, a Dreamlike Water Town.' Along the way, various wild plants are lush, and rare wild animals occasionally appear, making me truly feel the vitality and vigor of nature.
In the scenic area, one should not miss the statue of Emperor Shun, grand and majestic, inspiring awe in the beholder. The tranquility and beauty of Mother and Child Lake, the wondrous sight of the Divine Turtle Drawing Water, have all left a deep impression on me.
The food street in Shuiyu Mouth ancient village is even more unforgettable. On this quaint street, there are various specialty food shops, such as Shunxiang Stir-fry Qi Shop, Thousand-Layer Vegetable Box Shop, Smoothened Bean Noodle Shop, Jishan Pancake Shop... Each delicacy exudes a rich local flavor, leaving an endless aftertaste.
