<h3>這些年看到很多朋友去了歐美旅游，收獲頗豐，帶回大包小包產(chǎn)品，延續(xù)了幾千年的絲綢文化，只是當(dāng)年的駝隊(duì)換成了現(xiàn)代的飛機(jī)。呵呵，我一個(gè)河北老土，歐美拉貨的買賣注定是沒(méi)那本錢，近鄰去看人妖又興奮不起來(lái)，咋辦？只能經(jīng)常去附近的太行山里轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)，渴了喝囗太行溪水，累了停下來(lái)吃頓農(nóng)家飯，天色晚了住個(gè)太行人家的農(nóng)家樂(lè)，整整三年過(guò)去了，從南到北的太行山都留下了我的足跡，從新鄉(xiāng)的南太行到北端的保定，八百里太行不愧是我心中的最愛(ài)，它有優(yōu)山美地的雄偉，但比優(yōu)山美地要大，它有大峽谷的氣勢(shì)，但不象大峽谷那樣炎熱難越，它有黃山的奇峰但更雄闊，而且它座落在中原文化的腹地，到處散發(fā)著幾千年中華文明的光芒。最讓我震撼的是在安陽(yáng)親眼看到殷墟甲骨文，我都不敢相信這甲骨上刻的蠅頭小字就是三千年前我們最早的中華文字，淚水一次次模糊了我的眼睛！</h3><h3><br /></h3><h3>Many of my friends curious about why I settled down in Bao Ding, to them, there is no obvious reason thus bring up many of their reasonable doubts. After traveling so many places around the world, I found this Taihang Mountain Range, which is 1-2 hours west of Baoding is one of the best in the world. I proved it with my foot，captured with my camera and I have to appraise it. During my two and half year staying period, I have been to many places in Taihang mountain range, from south Taihang near Xingxiang 新鄉(xiāng), Henan to Baoding of Hebei, there are so many beautiful places I can almost go there every weekend. </h3> <h3>Due to limited number of pictures I can post here, I have to select 100 pictures out of thousands, from which I took in Wang Meng Ling 王莽嶺, Xi Ya Gou 錫崖溝, Wan Xian Shan 萬(wàn)仙山, Tai Hang Grand Canyon 太行大峽谷, Tian Jie Shan 天界山, Bai Shi Shan 白石山, Yi Shui He 易水河, Lang Ya Shan 狼牙山, Bai Li Xia 百里峽, Long Meng Jian 龍門澗, Fei Hu Yu 飛狐峪, Xi Sheng Guo 西勝溝, Quan Sheng Xia 全勝峽，Cang Yan Shan 蒼巖山，Tian Shen Qiao 天生橋, Guan Shan 關(guān)山，Yun Tai Shan 云臺(tái)山，Shi Zhi Ling 十字嶺，Shi Bo Xia 十瀑峽，Hong Qi Qu 紅旗渠，Yin Xu 殷墟，Ye San Po 野三坡，Wu Tai Shan 五臺(tái)山，Tian Gui Shan 天桂山，Chuan Gu Tuo 蠶姑坨，Zhang Shi Yan 嶂石巖，Wu Yue Zhai 五岳寨，Tuo Liang 駝梁，Da Mao Shan 大茂山，Yun Meng Shan 云蒙山，Hu Hu Shui 沕沕水，Jing Shan Kou金山囗，Bai Ying Tuo 白銀坨， ... everywhere I go, I can feel the richness of the culture and beauty of the landscape. </h3> <h3>Buddha temple built on the cliff of the Heng Shan mountain.
