The Wengyu road stretches 20 kilometers. It was the only
mountain road for people to pass to the Shangluo of
Shaanxi and Northern Hubei before the Hualuo Road in
Dafuyu built in 1958.
The rolling hills stand by both side of road with
crisscrossing waterways. Flowing river is clear to see
the bottom, ding-dong sounds all the year round, How the
beautiful natural scenery is! In Wengyu, the weather is
humid, and plants and wildlife abounds. Especially
during the spring and summer, lush green slope,
beautiful wildflower and rare stone along the roadside
add to the beauty.
Xu Xiake, a great traveler in Ming Dynasty,
highly praised for the Wengyu’s best mountain scenery in
his diary “The tour of Taihua Mountain”.
He
wrote that: Wengyu is the 3rd valley at the west of Hua
Mountain. Mountains both sides are towering up, the
valley seems narrow in which the river flows fast. The
trail in valley, now turning eastwards, now turning
westwards. Facing the Jagged mountains, walkers seem to
walk in the teeth gap and like rowing boat on the river.
Since ancient times, the dwellings in villages had been
built at the wide hinterland of valley hill. Keep
staying in the mountains, with the lamb, and stopped
work at sunset, generations enjoy their wonderful
lifestyles.。
