You can seek more dazzling natural scenery here, and the scenery along the way is infinitely beautiful. You can find beauty in places where the sun shines. Here are detailed strategies and guides for go on road trip.
Destination: Ningshan County
Day 1
go on road trip Route:
Depart from the vicinity of Xi 'an Aerospace City, go up to the Ring Expressway, transfer from Hechi Zhai Interchange to G5 Jingkun Expressway, get off at Ningshan Toll Station, head for Ningshan County, and drive for about 2 kilometers to reach the county. The whole journey is 156 kilometers.
Ningshan is not far from Xi 'an. It takes two and a half hours to drive. It starts at 5: pm, arrives at the Qinling service area at 6: 3, rests in the service area for more than 2 minutes, then continues on the road, gets off the expressway at 7: 3, walks the mountain road for nearly half an hour, and arrives at Ningshan county at 8: pm.
Hotel Accommodation:
The tube car bay rafting and water park are located at the entrance of Ningshan Expressway. When I brought my children here last time, it felt good. If I want to play these projects, I should come here in the morning. We didn't stop at the county seat, and we still stayed at the Jin Lan Home Hotel on the edge of the county seat. We stayed at this hotel last time, but we didn't look for it again. We just stayed at it for more than 1 yuan a day, and the environment and conditions were all the same.
I didn't realize that this place was not cool until I arrived in Ningshan County, and it was over 3 degrees. Perhaps it was because the county was in the foothills of Qinling Mountains. After I stayed, I went out to look for food directly. The owner said that there was a night market, and after I went there, I mainly barbecued, so I ate some casually and went to the nearby Binhe Park.

The antique gatehouse at the entrance of the county seat is Yingbin Avenue.
Opposite the gatehouse is Jin Lan Home Hotel.
After dinner, I went to Binhe Park for a walk.
I have been to Ningshan before and went to Shangbahe Forest Park. The interior is well repaired. I can send some photos of the last time, so I can have a look.

Route arrangement:
From Ningshan County, follow G21 National Road to Xi 'an, drive for 15 kilometers and then arrive at Shibazhang Waterfall; Continue to drive along G21, pass Pingheliang and Watershed and reach Xi 'an. The whole journey is 185 kilometers.
I had a dog walk in the morning, so I got up after 7: , opposite the Huanshan Forest Park. I went up from the gatehouse and walked around the Huanshan Forest Park for a while. The forest park around the mountain was built on Rentou Mountain in the south of the county seat, along the mountainside, with a total length of 3.5 kilometers, all of which are steps. It was a little tiring to climb, so it came down after a small turn.
after you come back, consider the next trip. There are scenic spots such as Shangbahe Forest Park, Youranshan Forest Park and Shibazhang Waterfall nearby. I have been to Shangbahe Forest Park for the last time, so I don't think about it, but the scenery is OK. Those who have never been can go there.
It's not bad to see the introduction of Youran Mountain. On the way to the county seat, if you go, you will go back the same way and take the expressway home. I haven't decided where to go, so I decided to take a look at Shibazhang Waterfall Park first.
Shibazhang Waterfall used to be a scenic spot, but now fewer people go to it, and it's basically deserted, and they don't charge tickets. After checking out at 8: 3 in the morning, they still went to the county town to have breakfast, then went north along the national highway and arrived at Shibazhang Waterfall scenic spot at 9: 2.
after entering, walk along the stream. The road is lush and the stream is gurgling. You can see the waterfall after about 2 minutes' walk. The waterfall looks spectacular, about 18 feet high, so it is called 18 feet waterfall. Stayed in it for more than an hour.
The gatehouse I saw in the morning is connected with the corridor around the mountain forest park.
The corridor around the mountain forest park is built halfway up the mountain.

At the entrance of Shibazhang Waterfall, there is no place to park at the gate, so I stopped at the opposite farmer, and I charged 5 yuan

The ticket for the introduction of Youran Mountain is relatively expensive. It seems that it is mainly grass, so I am afraid of being too sunburned, so I have to pay for it. In fact, I didn't expect this scenic spot to be included in the annual travel ticket at that time, otherwise I can go and see it for free.
On the way to Shibazhang Waterfall, there is also a Ningshan Town God Temple, which is also a scenic spot. I didn't stop when I came. Now I decided to go back to the Town God Temple first, and then decide the route, so I went back 9 kilometers to the Ningshan Town God Temple.
Built on the sandbar in the middle of Chang 'an River, Ningshan Town God Temple looks like a ship, surrounded by water and living alone in the center, surrounded by towering old trees and bamboos. Its specifications and shapes are similar to those of official buildings, with its north facing south. Ningshan Town God Temple is a rare preserved ancient architectural complex in southern Shaanxi. If you pass by, you can come and have a look.

The Town God Temple is small, so I will finish reading it in a moment.
There are not many cars on the road, and it gets cooler as you go. When you reach Pingheliang, the temperature will probably be over 2 degrees. Pingheliang is the watershed between the Xunhe River system in the Han River basin and the Chang 'an River basin, a tributary of Ziwu River, and also the dividing point between the northern section and the southern section of Ziwu Road. Take a break in Pingheliang and prepare to eat in Xunyangba Town.
I met a cyclist in Pingheliang, and rode all the way from Shiquan County in the morning, ready to ride on Pingheliang in Xi 'an
and arrived at Xunyangba Town at 12: 3 in the afternoon. Xunyangba Town is 34 kilometers northeast of Ningshan County. The ancient meridian plank road passes through the territory and is an important distribution center for ancient merchants and materials in the north and south. There are few people in the town, but there are also some farmhouses. I found one to have a rest while eating.
Xunyangba Town Street, National Highway 21 passes through the town.
After dinner, it continued northward, passing through the Qinling Canyon drifting, Guanghuo Street and watershed, and entered the urban area of Xi 'an, stopping and stopping in the middle. At 3: 3 in the afternoon, it reached the Qinling watershed, which has been visited many times. This time, it stopped for a while, let the dog down for a walk, and was ready to go down the mountain.
It usually takes more than two hours to get home from the watershed. Today, I was caught in a big traffic jam, and it was completely blocked from Jiulongtan. Basically, I walked a little bit. I didn't go down to the mountain until after 8 o'clock in the evening, and I didn't return to my home in Aerospace City until after 9 o'clock.

ningshan county can take a two-day tour. If you leave early in the morning, you can go rafting in Tongche Bay, Shangbahe Forest Park, Chenghuang Temple, Shibazhang Waterfall, Youran Mountain Alpine Wetland and other scenic spots all at once. However, Ningshan county is not cool, but the oxygen content is high and the air quality is good. You can experience the slow life in a small county.
