Feihu Valley

Feihu Valley is 13 kilometers south of Yuxian County Seat and 180 kilometers from Zhangjiakou City.

It is famous for its fantastic peaks and perilous and secluded ravine. Feihu Valley, winding from south to north, is 20 kilometers long. The widest part of the valley reaches about 100 meters while the narrowest is no more than a dozen meters. The terrain is complicated and dangerous and has acquired an element of mystery and wonder. Sometimes a cliff gets in the way and there seems no way beyond; sometimes amidst sheer precipices a new path suddenly appears. In history it was once a vital passageway, which led to the North China Plain in the south and the deserts beyond the Great Wall in the north. On the mountains there are luxuriant trees, grass and birds. In the valley there is cool breeze gently blowing, soughing of the wind in the pines, and sheer precipices engraved with uncanny workmanship.

According to local inhabitants, there are 72 curves in the 40-li-long Feihu Valley and each curve has a place of unique and enchanting beauty. There are wonderful sceneries everywhere, such as Yizhuxiang Stone, Shuangjiankong (Double arrow Holes), Sanxiansifan Peak (Three Immortals Longing for the Human World), Sijiangshoumen Cliff (Four Generals Guarding the Gate), Wugou Wangyue Stone (Five Dogs Watching or Seeing the Bright Moon) and Liulangzhuang (Liulang Stake), Qinv Peak (Seven Fairy Maidens), Baxian (the Eight Immortals) Cave, etc., which contain numerous wonderful stories and legends inducing fantastic reveries.
