The cave dwellings in Shijiayuan were built in the 34th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1769). At that time, during the heyday of Emperor Qianlong, Shijia's family combined farming and business, and also operated banks and pawnshops, earning a lot of money. So they used the money to buy land, expand their family business, and build houses. It took them nearly 200 years to build a luxurious courtyard covering a large area. Its architectural style has typical northern and Shanxi residential features, and is divided into two parts: the main building and the ancillary buildings. The Shijia Courtyard has a total of 31 courtyards of various sizes, with quadrangle courtyards, two-entry quadrangle courtyards, second-floor quadrangle courtyards, and third-floor quadrangle courtyards as the main buildings, which are equipped with main rooms, living rooms, side rooms, halls, study rooms, embroidery towers, moon-viewing rooms, gatehouses, and stables for servants and other rooms. The most valuable art in Shijia Courtyard is the architectural sculpture art. Its wood carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings are used to decorate the brackets, brackets, hangings, beams, screen walls, column bases, plaques, curtain frames, door covers, etc., with various styles and rich contents.

Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area on the Yellow River - Longdong Cave

4.2
4.9/5
10 reviews
The Longdong Cave, an important tourist attraction within the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area, is situated on a cliff overlooking the Yellow River. Deep and mysterious, the cave offers a prime vantage point for appreciating the "smoke rising from the bottom of the pot" phenomenon. Adjacent to the waterfall, the Longdong Cave often echoes the surging waves of the Yellow River, creating a magnificent natural panorama. From the Longdong Cave, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the Hukou Waterfall, where the rushing water and surging waves resemble a giant dragon cascading down, showcasing the immense power of nature. Especially during the summer and autumn seasons, when the Yellow River's water volume is relatively high, the waterfall's grandeur is particularly striking. Under the sunlight, the water splashes and rainbows arch. At this time, the waterfall's rapid flow and powerful impact create enormous spray and air currents, making the Longdong Cave one of the ideal places to view the Hukou Waterfall.Ji County · 21.5 km from downtown

In Yichuan, Shaanxi, the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is famous for its majestic momentum, and one of them has become the filming location for the 50-yuan RMB note, carrying a unique meaning. The Hukou Waterfall is named after its shape: the Yellow River is gathered by rocks on both sides here, and the water suddenly shrinks from the wide river surface to only 20-30 meters wide, forming a waterfall as high as 15 meters, like a giant pot pouring, hence the name "Hukou". The amount of water in the waterfall changes with the seasons. During the flood season, the water flow can reach 700 cubic meters per second, which is majestic and thunderous. The Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area is divided into Shaanxi and Shanxi sides, and the viewing point on the Shaanxi side is considered to be an ideal location for filming the 50-yuan RMB note. Visitors can feel the shock of the waterfall up close, especially in the season with abundant water, when the main and secondary waterfalls are launched at the same time, and the scene is particularly spectacular. Standing next to this filming location, you can truly feel the magic of nature, and you can also understand why it has become a classic picture on the RMB, attracting countless tourists to check in and appreciate the magnificent style of the mother river of the Yellow River.Yichuan · 96.2 km from Linfen

Shijiayuan is located in the mountains, so it is a relatively unpopular scenic spot. It is free to visit. The residents inside have basically moved out, and it is well preserved. It's a pity that there is no detailed information to introduce it. Personally, I think it is no less than Wangjiayuan.

Tickets are issued quickly, but the stairs inside the cave are very narrow. The view of the Yellow River waterfall from the cave entrance is breathtaking, but you need to wear a raincoat because water is dripping everywhere.

Many people believe that a trip to Xixian County must include a visit to Xiaoxitian, but the county also boasts its own national treasure: the Drum Tower, a vital transportation hub. This tower has stood for centuries, witnessing the development of Xixian County, and remains a major transportation center.
