Wang Mang Ridge - the supreme of Taihang!

Wang Mang Ridge, located in the ancient suburb of Lingchuan County, Shanxi, is the boundary mountain between the county and Huixian, Henan. The mountain range extends from east to southwest. It reaches the provincial border to the east, borders Lingdong River to the west, connects to Mawuzhai Mountain to the south, and reaches Luolongchang to the north. The perimeter is about 15 kilometers, and the main peak is 1665 meters. It is said that Wang Mang chased Liu Xiu here at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, hence the name. Going up Wang Mang Ridge, the mountain road is tortuous and dangerous, and you have to cross the hanging wall highway, but when you reach the top of the mountain, it becomes much flatter. There are some military camp sites from that year on the top of the mountain, but they don't look like ancient relics. I think the most important thing on the top of the mountain is to enjoy the scenery. Standing on the highest peak of South Taihang, you can overlook the majestic mountains, the vast plain of Huixian, Henan, and the sea of clouds and sunrise...
