At the foot of the Taihang Mountains, Wu'an, a thousand-year-old city, is not only famous for its mountains and rivers, but also captivates people with its unique cuisine. From the strong handmade noodles to the fragrant smoked meat, every delicacy carries the wisdom and nostalgia of Wu'an people. Today, let me walk into the taste world of Wu'an and explore the flavors that cannot be missed.                    —— 👉Wu'an drag noodles: the beauty of thousands of rubbing muscles A day for Wu'an people is "drawn" out by a bowl of noodles! The noodles should be soft, the noodles should be even, and the stew sauce is the soul C position - rich and fragrant fried sauce, delicious meat, refreshing vegetarian stew, served with chewy and bouncy noodles, a bite directly sealed the gods! It is said that even Song Huizong is drooling, he is "the leader of martial arts in the noodle world". The noodles are rich in flavor, smooth and chewy. The locals often say, "What you pull is kung fu, what you eat is sentiment."                    —— 👉Sa Ming Fried Noodles: full of market fireworks Shaming fried noodles is one of the most down-to-earth delicacies on the streets of Wu'an. Unlike ordinary fried noodles, it emphasizes "dry and fragrant, not greasy, not hard". The noodles are first cooked and then sautéed, paired with bean sprouts, eggs, shredded meat, quickly stir-fried over high heat, and finally drizzled with a scoop of live water vinegar to inspire a rich burnt aroma. When served, the noodles are oily and shiny, with a slight sour aroma and pan in the mouth, making you unable to stop taking one bite after another.                    —— 👉Donkey Meat Roll: The perfect fusion of meat and noodles Selected premium donkey meat, stewed in old broth for several hours, the meat is crispy and flavourful. The rolls are made of hot noodles. They are as thin as locust wings but full of toughness. To serve, mince the donkey meat, fold it into the cake, and drizzle with a little stew and chili oil. The crust is soft, the donkey meat is fresh and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless. Plus soul onion! Take a bite and set off fireworks straight in your head!                    —— 👉 Mutton and millet stewed rice: a warm taste in the mountains and fields The mountainous area of ​​western Wu'an is rich in millet. The locals use lamb and millet to stew together to create this heart-warming and stomach-warming delicacy. Cut the lamb into pieces and stew until soft, then add the washed millet and simmer over low heat so that the rice grains fully absorb the freshness of the lamb. When it comes out of the pot, the rice is golden and shiny, the lamb is crispy and flavorful, and when you take a bite, your mouth is full of rich meat flavor and the sweetness of grains, a popular nourishing delicacy in autumn and winter.                    —— 👉Bo Yan stewed pork / smoked pork: intangible cultural heritage delicacies Amber condensed from three hundred years of old town scenery. In the green smoke of cypress trees at the foothills of the Taihang Mountains, red and white pork belly is covered with caramel-colored coats, and pine branches are wrapped in apple wood and the fruity aroma penetrates into the texture. The richness imparted by the boiling of old stew for six hours, quenched the amber-like oily crystals in the ancient smoked cellar. The fat flowers fall like snow, the smoked fragrance enters the soul, the meat is crispy and not woody, the salty freshness is filled with the sweetness of the fruit wood. What meets the tip of the tongue is the entanglement of smoke and time.                    —— 👉Wu'an Smoked Rabbit: The flavor of the smoky and fiery years Bunny is so cute, of course we have to smoke it! Wu'an smoked rabbit is listed as one of the "top ten snacks" in the area. Rabbit meat is the main ingredient, sugar, pepper, aniseed, ginger, salt, etc. are used as seasonings. Red color, smoked tempting, rabbit meat crispy, chewy taste, melts in the mouth, smoked straight drilled into the nose! Low fat and high protein, fairies eat zero burden.                    —— 👉 Buckwheat irrigation: the fragrance of the street overflows It looks like dark cuisine, but it tastes really good. Warning! The buckwheat batter is steamed into chunks, fried until it's crispy on the outside and sticky on the inside. Dip it in garlic sauce and take a bite! Wu'an native: "Guan Zhang without garlic sauce is like a hot pot without chili". #so recently so beautiful weekend to Hebei #Hebei food #Wu'an food #local first eat food

After passing the Tiger Painting, I finally arrived at Taihang Pillar. The most shocking angle is to look down from above. If you think of it as a tree, you can see the "roots" below. . After visiting Taihang Pillar, I turned back to the fork in the road and walked down in the direction of Hongyan Peak. However, when I got to Hongyan Peak, I found it was blocked, so I had to go down the mountain directly (Hongyan Peak is a fork in the road, not a must-pass road down the mountain). .

The beautiful scenery on the way down the mountain is endless, and I came to the check-in point of the mountain and sea.

The "Guoran" (果然) sign in front is also a check-in point. . After passing the "Guoran" check-in point, I found another small viewing platform check-in point. I checked in below without going up. . Then I continued to enjoy the Zhangshiyan landform while moving forward. I found a tiger painting on a rock wall. It looks so real, like a tiger walking out of a cave.

On the way to East Taihang Mountain, you can clearly see the ancient Wudang Mountain in the distance. Why am I so sure? Because I just climbed it and it left a deep impression on me. The Skyscraper Fairy Bridge is the best proof. . Then I came to the Tianmen Shoushan with the words "How" engraved on it. It is also a very impressive sight and worth remembering. . When I walked to the back of Tianmen Shoushan, I was once again shocked by the Danxia landform here. Looking up from below, the sense of déjà vu was instantly filled. . There is a mountain peak in front of me, but it is still not the Taihang Pillar. . Go further to the vertical gully and enjoy the different beauty it brings.
