Tianhe Mountain: China's Mountain of Love
Nestled on the border of Shanxi and Hebei provinces, Tianhe Mountain Scenic Area rises to an elevation of 1,780 meters and boasts an impressive 92% forest coverage. Recognized as a national 4A-level tourist attraction and a designated national forest park, this area is a treasure trove of natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Tianhe Mountain is widely believed to be the legendary birthplace of the beloved Chinese folk tale, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." Its historical significance runs deep, as Confucius himself is said to have traveled and studied in this region—an honor commemorated by the site known as "Confucius Rock."
Beyond its mystical and philosophical ties, Tianhe Mountain played a crucial role during World War II, serving as one of the main bases for the Eighth Route Army. Visitors can still explore remarkably well-preserved revolutionary landmarks, including the 129th Division Hospital and the Jinan Bank, considered the predecessor of the People's Bank of China. These sites offer a compelling glimpse into China's storied past.
