In my mind, this is the sixth time I have climbed Langya Mountain. However, every time there are different feelings and different impressions.
The car spiraled along the winding mountain road. It was wonderful and joyful all the way. It seems that you have reached the end of the mountain, but it turns out that there are always twists and turns. The green mountains and green waters bring you unexpected surprises and unique caves.
The Five Warriors Sculpture and Five Warriors Deeds Exhibition Hall is located at the foot of Langya Mountain, built close to the mountains and rivers. Against the background of the huge bright red party flag, it looks majestic and solemn. Opposite the Five Warriors sculpture is a majestic musical fountain, and to the left is a waterfall dozens of meters wide. The fountain is more than ten meters high, swaying in the wind and dancing with the music; the waterfall roars and pours down, bringing a strong visual impact and also bringing coolness in summer. On the giant electronic display screen, the movie "Five Heroes on Langya Mountain" is played repeatedly, indicating that this is the Langya Mountain Scenic Area, and it also shows the artistic conception of red tourism.

? After driving for nearly two hours, I accompanied some friends from out of town to the Langya Mountain Scenic Area. In recent years, the local government has successively invested heavily in improving various supporting facilities, turning Langya Mountain, located in a desolate place at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain in Yixian County, Hebei Province, into a famous scenic spot in China. With its beautiful natural scenery, It attracts a large number of tourists and has become a beautiful business card of the ancient city of Yixian.
?
? In front of the sculpture of the Five Warriors, which is more than ten meters high, everyone looked up at it with respect for a long time; Jier was very interested, posing in various poses, taking pictures as much as he wanted; cheers Laughter echoed in the mountains. Back then, I climbed on foot along the mountain road, and it took more than two hours to reach the top. To save energy and time, we decided to take the cable car up the mountain.
?
? The Langya Mountain Cableway is about one thousand meters long, going directly from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Different from other attractions, the Langya Mountain Cableway Towers are all built on cliffs, about 20 meters above the ground. They seem to be crumbling and extremely thrilling. Riding on the cable car and traveling through the steep mountains in the air, with the breeze and mist blowing in your face, it feels like flying in the clouds and mist, which is a very interesting experience. Looking around, there are towering peaks, green mountains, steep and steep mountains. People are walking in the air, and clouds are floating around them. Looking down at the foot, you can see the intertwined mountains and straight green pines; waterfalls and springs, sometimes hidden in the jungle, sometimes pouring down from high places. Only the crisp sound of running water, like beautiful music, stayed in my mind and refused to go away for a long time.
When the cable car reaches the end, there is another scene. Looking around, there are many strange peaks, towering green trees, green pines and cypresses, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, it feels like entering a fairyland. Beside the ancient trees and under the boulders, trickling streams emerge from time to time, making the water clear and sweet. The trickling streams merge into a small stream, making a tinkling sound and disappearing into the mountain stream.
After resting here for a while, we turned around a jungle path and came face to face with an archway. There was a thousand-year-old pine on the roadside and a huge stone under the pine, with a chessboard vaguely visible on it. This is Qipantuo. Legend has it that this is where the immortal Lu Dongbin played chess. Back then, a shepherd boy was herding sheep and came to Qipantuo, where two white-haired old men happened to be playing chess. The shepherd boy was fascinated by the chess game, but he saw that the leaves in the mountains changed from green to yellow, and then from yellow to green again several times, which was very strange. By the time the two old men finished playing chess, the sheep were gone. It has been many years since I returned home. This is just one day in heaven and several years on earth.
Starting from Qipantuo, the road suddenly became steeper. This is also a time when endurance and perseverance are tested. Although the local government has invested in rebuilding the hiking trail in recent years, which is much less labor-intensive than climbing with hands and feet in the past, the steps get steeper as you go up. When I was out of breath and sweating profusely, I saw a steep boulder standing in front of me, with four big red characters "Langshan Jingxiu" carved on it. Looking up, the Five Warriors Memorial Tower of Langya Mountain stands on the top of the mountain.
? The majestic Five Warriors Memorial Tower reaches into the sky. In front of the tower, there is an archway made of white marble, with the four characters "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers" written on it. The tower base and fence are also made of white marble.
On the front of the tower is the inscription "Monument Tower of the Five Warriors of Langya Mountain" by Marshal Nie Rongzhen. Behind the tower is the newly built glass plank road and sightseeing platform that dominates the peaks. At this moment, when I climbed to the top and looked down at the mountains, I suddenly felt enlightened and my excitement was palpable. Around the main peak, there are five peaks and thirty-six peaks. The peaks are like knives and axes, and they are completely natural; the peaks are like giant swords, piercing the sky;
? Stepping onto the glass sightseeing plank road, you will see towering peaks at your feet and deep streams beside you. Some young people, feeling the excitement, were smiling and dancing happily; some people who were afraid of heights or were timid sat slumped on the glass pavement, daring not to move an inch; some were in groups of three or five, supporting each other, walking as if walking on thin ice, and every step was frightening. Heart; all aspects of life are manifested here.
?
? The memorial tower is about 20 meters high. The interior is very small, and the stairs can only accommodate one person. Climb to the top of the memorial tower and look far into the distance. The mountains are undulating and the mist is vast, like the waves of the sea. You can have a panoramic view of the great rivers and mountains. A cry echoed across the mountains. At this moment, I suddenly feel heroic: I can step on the foot of thousands of mountains and reach out to touch the sky; I can see all the small mountains and I am the top of them all!
? Recalling that year, Ma Baoyu, a squad leader of the Eighth Route Army, led a class of five people to cover the transfer of large troops, fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders, and retreated while fighting, leading the little Japanese to the Jedi Mountains. After running out of ammunition and food, the five warriors faced the swarming Japanese soldiers. They were righteous and would rather die than be captured. They broke their guns and jumped off a cliff, leaving behind a lasting legacy and a lasting reputation. It also made a significant mark in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. Today, the place where the Five Warriors jumped off the cliff is a must-see for tourists. It is both a famous red tourist destination and a provincial forest park. During holidays, tourists, soldiers and students from all over the country come here in an endless stream and never want to leave. Not only did I appreciate the beautiful scenery of Yixian County, but I also received an unforgettable traditional education.
? The water is flowing slowly, the Taihang is majestic, the stars are moving, and the history is long. From Jing Ke's assassination of the Qin Dynasty when the wind blew and the water was cold, to the battle of Huangtuling that shocked China and foreign countries and killed the Japanese Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, to the five Langya Mountains that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods. Warriors all add rich color to the ancient city of Yixian. Every time I come here and face the memorial tower, I always feel shocked, filled with emotions, and respect arises spontaneously. The heroic actions of the five warriors left an indelible spiritual wealth to Chinese descendants.
? Time flies, the sun and the moon shuttle. The battlefield where the martyrs sacrificed themselves by jumping off the cliff and writing history with their lives has now become a tourist hotspot with unique scenery. We have entered a new era. The deceased is like this, but the spirit lives on forever. Isn’t it that what our Chinese nation needs is that this spirit of unswerving determination and dedication to the country will always be engraved in our hearts and passed down from generation to generation?
? The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with sunset. It was getting late, and it was too late to go to many famous attractions in Langya Mountain, such as Cangutuo, Water Park, Beach Baths, and Red Agate Cave, leaving us feeling a bit reluctant and regretful. In the pale twilight, looking back at the majestic figure of Langya Mountain shrouded in twilight, it looks so majestic and spectacular.
? Langya Mountain, the sacred mountain, the heroic mountain! You are like the statue of the Five Warriors standing in the sky, forever engraved in our hearts and standing proudly between heaven and earth!
