Baishishan Global Geopark
Baishishan, which belongs to Laiyuan Baishishan Tourism Development Co., Ltd., is located at the northern end of the towering Taihang Mountains that stretch for 800 miles. It is a mountain on the mountain above the undulating mountains on the southern edge of the Laiyuan Basin and is known as the "First of Taihang". The main peak of Baishishan is 2,096 meters above sea level and is named after the white marble on the mountain. The mountain is steep and has cliffs, dangerous ravines, and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It has been a dividing line between nature and humanity since ancient times. For thousands of years, people could only look at her height and the gathering and dispersion of clouds from a distance because it was difficult to climb. Today, let us approach it and go deep into the peaks and ravines to explore the eternal mysteries of Baishishan and experience her agility and magic. Baishishan Mountain is located 186 kilometers southwest of Beijing. It is a park in Beijing Fangshan World Geopark. The total area of Baishishan Mountain is more than 100 square kilometers. The core area has "three peaks, six terraces, nine valleys and 81 peaks". There are three peaks over 2000 meters on the 7000-meter-long main ridge. The relative height difference of the southern foothills is 1500 meters. It is well-known for its majestic, dangerous and fantastic. Its majesty === majestic, vigorous, upright, rough, strong and masculine spirit. Its danger === strange peaks clustered, steep cliffs stretching across, cliffs thousands of feet high like arrows piercing the sky. Its strangeness ==== strange rocks, rugged and rugged, different from each other, anthropomorphic, anthropomorphic, ingenious and fantastic. Its fantasy === The vast sea of clouds is rolling, the fairy mountains and floating islands are like a dream. The "Notes on the Classic of Watercourses" describes Baishishan as "the mountain has three peaks: Gaoxia Yiling, Tengyunguan Peak, and smoke-covered fog. The gullies are deep and steep. Walking into Baishishan, you will see strange peaks standing in rows, steep cliffs, deep valleys, steep and magnificent, bizarre and varied peaks. It has a large height difference and a large density, and it goes straight up and down as if it were cut by a knife and an axe. The shapes are strange. Some are towering like jade pillars that soar into the clouds. Some are as heavy as eggs, as if they will collapse at the slightest shock. Some are like soldiers in a line. Those strange peaks and rocks that look like sails, bamboo shoots, swords, people, and beasts all show the distinct personality of Baishishan. It is extremely magnificent. Because the terrain of Baishishan is northeast-southwest and perpendicular to the monsoon, and the height difference on the southern slope is large, Baishishan is the most beautiful peak in North China. The mountain with the most clouds and fog in the region. In summer and autumn, the warm and humid air currents blowing from the southeast are intercepted by the tall mountains and stored between the peaks and valleys, often forming clouds and fog. The clouds on Baishishan Mountain are in various shapes and forms. Sometimes they are like gauze and wings, sometimes like cotton and catkins, sometimes like streams and waterfalls, and sometimes they are flat and endless. Due to the influence of cold and warm air currents, frontal rain and terrain rainfall often appear on Baishishan Mountain. Blue sky and white clouds reflect the landscape of Cangshan Mountain. The ancients summarized Baishishan as "clear sky is not as good as rain, rain is not as good as fog, and fog is not as good as clouds". "Baishishan clear clouds" is one of the 12 ancient beautiful scenes in Laiyuan. Climb up the stone steps paved with granite. The road changes with the mountain and the scenery changes with every step. There are many strange peaks and rocks along the way. If you catch up with the clouds and fog, the cliffs appear and disappear from time to time, as if you are in a fairyland, "the scenery passes by and you are swimming in a painting." Everyone will express such emotion sincerely. It is a blessing to encounter the sea of clouds, with the sun shining brightly above the head and the raging clouds under the feet. It is extremely comfortable to be on it, like a poem or a song. Baishishan has dense vegetation and the forest coverage rate reaches 82%. It has 30,000 acres of forest land and nearly a thousand species of plants. Moreover, the forest of Baishishan presents a typical vertical zone, and different altitudes have representative plant distribution. It is the center of biodiversity distribution in North China. Walking into Baishishan is like enjoying a magnificent piece of music, which starts with a high note and ends with a high note, always immersing people in a state of excitement. Looking at the long geological development history of Laiyuan area, it records the changes of the world. As early as 300 million years ago, this place was originally a sea. It experienced the Fuping Movement and the Wutai Movement until the Luliang Movement 1.8 billion years ago. Here, together with the North China region, a unified platform basement was formed. 1.4-1 billion years ago, another large-scale marine invasion formed the most widely distributed and thickest Mesoproterozoic sedimentary cover in North China-the Wumishan Group flint belt and dolomite. In between, the ancient Yanshan-North Taihang paleoseismic belt extends all the way to Baishishan. 200-130 million years ago, the intensified activity of the Taihang Mountain deep fault led to the intrusion of granite and volcanic eruptions in this area. The Himalayan movement and new tectonic movement since 23.3 million years ago, the staged differences in the crust's ups and downs have successively formed the current aerial grassland with an altitude of 2,000 meters. The Laiyuan Basin and Baishishan Peak Forest in the core area of Baishishan present a typical double-layer structure. The stable granite base holds up the huge dolomite marble cover to form a giant "top plate suspension body". With two groups of huge shear joints as the main features, after millions of years of wind, rain, erosion and gravity collapse, nature has carved Baishishan into a fine work of art with its magical power, forming a unique marble tectonic peak forest landform. Tectonic peak forest is a new type of geological landscape first named by Chinese geologists based on the causes of Baishishan peak forest. It refers to the rock strata that have many vertical structural cracks, which are called joints in geology. These vertical and huge joints control the development of peak forests. The Baishishan tectonic peak forest is characterized by its majestic spirit of towering steep cliffs, sharp edges and earth-shaking shapes. Some of them are caused by surface weathering or karst. The stone forest, earth forest or Danxia landform formed by the process has obvious characteristics. If the peak forest is regarded as the great masterpiece of Baishishan Mountain, then the various minerals of hydrothermal replacement type in the various sedimentary structures throughout the park reveal the mystery and magic of this ancient stratum to people. The ripple marks, mud cracks, feather-shaped cross-bedding, algae and stromatolites in the Wumishan Formation of Baishishan Mountain are also non-renewable geological relics. It vividly tells people that the ancient Laiyuan area was a sea 1.2 billion years ago. Now when people walk into Baishishan Mountain, it is like a historical corridor spanning 1.2 billion years. There is a Shipu Gorge scenic area on the western foot of Baishishan Mountain. Shipu Gorge is a granite canyon. It is a granite formed 160-140 million years ago. Joints are developed in it. It controls the direction of water flow in the Shipu Gorge and waterfalls, and forms steep slopes and terraces. Rocks fall into waterfalls and ripples into pools. The granite landforms are colorful and lifelike. They are formed after long-term weathering and erosion. There are more than a dozen waterfalls in Shipu Gorge. The source of the waterfalls is Longhuquan, which is 1,300 meters above sea level. Water flows all year round. The waterfalls and granite landforms complement each other to form a beautiful picture. The Baishishan Great Wall descends from Jinshan and emerges from Shichenggou. It stretches across the peaks at the northern foot of Baishishan, passing through Baishishan Yungu, Chongguanhe, and Chajianling. The two pass cities are far away from the three main peaks of Baishishan. The majestic and magnificent Yunpan Cave at the southern foot of Baishi Mountain is the place where the last Boxer Rebellion force sacrificed. The German-French coalition killed more than 20 Boxers led by Guo Fengchun, adding a bit of tragic grandeur to Baishi Mountain. The famous Huangtuling Battle during the Anti-Japanese War took place in Yungu at the eastern foot of Baishi Mountain, killing the "flower of famous generals" Abe Nobuhide, creating a record of annihilating 1,500 enemies in one go. The beautiful Baishi Mountain is located in Laiyuan County, Hebei Province. The main peak is 2,096 meters above sea level. It is a world geological park, a national geological park, a national forest park, a national 4A-level tourist attraction, and a national youth science and technology education base. During the Warring States Period, "the mountains divided Yan and Zhao", and during the Liao and Song Dynasties, "one mountain divided two countries". The ancients named Baishi Mountain because there were many white stones (marble) on the mountain. The entire Baishishan Mountain presents a "double-layer structure". The upper part is white, nearly horizontal flint marble formed 1 billion years ago, and the lower part is granite formed by magma intrusion 140 million years ago. Granite becomes a base, supporting the marble peaks on the upper part. The majestic "marble structural peaks" of Baishishan Mountain is a new type of geological landscape. It is unique and is very different from karst peaks, sandstone peaks, granite peaks, and earth forests in terms of material composition, formation process, and morphological characteristics. The special sedimentary environment has generated many peculiar sedimentary structures. Baishishan has many strange peaks, cliffs, and ravines. The peaks are strangely shaped, like pillars, sails, bamboo shoots, swords, people, and beasts. They are works of art created by nature. Due to the special topography and landforms, natural wonders such as clouds, sea of clouds, and Buddha's light often appear. Baishishan has a wide variety of flora and fauna and dense vegetation. There are 30,000 mu of forests, including Caragana chinensis, Hickory, and Sorbus, especially the largest red birch forest in North China. Wild animals living in it include North China leopard (first-class protected animal), badger, roe deer, rabbit, pheasant, falcon and other wild animals. Baishishan "has four seasons in one mountain". When the foot of the mountain is already green, the peach blossoms are just blooming on the mountainside, and the shady slopes of the top of the mountain are still covered with snow. The Ming Dynasty Great Wall on the northern foot of Baishishan is well preserved, winding on the peaks and ridges, majestic and spectacular. Baishishan Scenic Area has opened two east and west gates, and the internal facilities are interconnected. The Shipu Gorge on the west foot is a self-contained system and an independent tourist area. There are winding roads and cableways to choose from when going up and down Baishishan. The 20,000-meter walking tour road runs through the "three peaks, six terraces, nine valleys, and eighty-one peaks" of Baishishan, where you can appreciate the beautiful scenery of Baishishan. Baishishan is 180 kilometers away from Beijing, and can be reached by highway from Tianjin, Zhangjiakou and Datong. Zhangshi Expressway runs across the county, with an exit at Baishi Mountain. The train also stops at Laiyuan, which is only half an hour's drive from Baishi Mountain Scenic Area. Baishi Mountain is a paradise for landscape and ecological photography.
