Beixiangtang Temple

Hebei Xiangtangshan Grottoes, well-deserved, excellent value for money, this trip did not come in vain, Beiqi Royal Grottoes are exquisitely made, stone carvings are exquisite, it is a rare heritage of mankind, the whole scenic spot is being renovated on a large scale, I believe that in the near future, the grottoes will be more magnificent and majestic

Beixiangtangshan Grottoes, which was opened by the Beiqi Royal Fund, have 16 grottoes. These stone fear beasts came from the ninth grotto, which have 16 tower-shaped squats, which are used for Buddhas, and each pillar is carved under the pillar.

Xiangtang Water Town is located in Fengfeng Mining Area and Village Town, Handan City. It is built on the Liyang River, Hezhuang Village, Hecun Town, North, and Donghe Village, South to Hecun Town, 765 meters in length. Construction began in November 2016 and completed in 2017.

A great experience. Now Beixiangtang Mountain does not charge tickets and needs to pay parking fees. Of course, if you live under the mountain, you can get a parking permit free of parking fees. To be honest, I have been to so many famous grottoes. Xiangtangshan grottoes are really too dilapidated. The Buddha head is almost gone, and some are also made after, especially the Buddha head in the Big Buddha Cave, and the stone body are completely removed, it is better not to repair it. You can buy an electronic tour of the park, from the Song Pagoda to the monastery to the grottoes, there are detailed introductions. The scenery on Denggu Mountain is also very good. You can also climb the mountain. As a fitness exercise, overall, Beixiangtang Mountain is much better than Nanxiangtang. Nanxiangtang is too dilapidated and there is no explanation card.

开凿于北齐的响堂山石窟处于我国石窟艺术从云冈向龙门过渡的阶段，在造像中国化的同时保留了印度风格的梁柱构造，虽然观赏性与四大石窟相去甚远，但艺术与历史价值称得上“中国第五大石窟”。

这样一路的跌宕顺利来到了北响堂。打发走司机，这里除了停车场工作人员没有游客，踩着积雪一路向上，几百米的路，61年的国保单位值得一游。

一路上山寻找石窟去了。听讲解说，北响堂要比南响堂大很多，包含了其它的几个风景点，怪不得酒店的前台妹妹知道我们来这里说他们是自己爬山进来的，这里的山是太行山的余脉，太行山自然是大大的牛啦。
