CultureMillennia-old Taihang Pass
Taihang Pass, one of the Eight Passes of the Taihang Mountains, was a key route linking Zezhou and the Central Plains. Tianjing Fortress formed a broad defensive system of posts, passes and forts. The ancient route later carried Zezhou merchants toward the Central Plains, Mongolia and Russia. In 1896, Italian Angelo Rosadi traveled it into Zezhou and Jincheng and sent photographers to document the area; many features can still be matched with their images.
