Hongyan Village

Hongyan Village: Hongyan Village is located in Hongshi Township, Zhenping County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province.

Surrounded by sheer cliffs on all sides, the only way to reach the mountain is through a secret passage — a natural cave with one entrance at the foot of the cliff and the other on the cliff face. Defending from the cave mouth, it’s truly a case of “one man can hold the pass against ten thousand.” Its perilous terrain rivals that of Mount Huashan. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, Xue Gang launched nine assaults on Jiuyan Mountain right here. 3. Natural Bridge: Located deep in the mountains along the Xiaoyu River in southern Zhenping County, the Natural Bridge is a naturally formed stone arch bridge. It is 100 meters long, 4 meters wide, about 100 meters high, and semi-elliptical in shape, with a clear span of over 60 meters. Viewed from the opposite mountain, the bridge appears to soar above the sea of trees, with each end connected to a mountain massif.
