I recently went to Shangnan, so I rekindled my enthusiasm for Shangluo. Looking back on the past, I used to climb mountains and pass some interesting routes here. Just as the Qingming small holiday is coming, I recommend one here, which may be used as a reference for your travel!

This route is a little different. I don't think there should be any travel recommended by the media before me, but myself, after two trips, I think it can be connected in series.

Shangluo from Xi 'an to Feng Dan, most people should go from Lantian via expressway or national highway 3 12, and this self-driving route I want to recommend is a bit strange. It will cross two mountains, one basin and three basins within a distance of 260 kilometers, with ups and downs and endless fun.

The specific route is to go up Jiuba Road from Jiujianfang in Anlian, cross the Qinling Mountains, cross the Bahe River source and Nanluohe River source to Luonan Basin, then start from Luonan, take the tourist road to cross Mangling, and reach Dihua Ancient Town and Feng Dan in Danjiang Basin.

If expressed in the form of lines, it should be:

The route looks a bit boring, but if you drive by yourself, you should be able to understand it.

What was the scenery like along the way? I will introduce it in three paragraphs:

From Xi 'an Lantian to Shangluo Luonan, this 90-kilometer journey not only passes through the north and south of the main ridge of Qinling, but also passes through Wuyuan Town at the source of Bahe River and Luoyuan Town at the source of Nanluo. There are beautiful self-driving routes along the way, which are highly recommended.

It is a famous road from Liuyukou, Lantian via No.98 Road to Bayuan Town. I heard that the scenery is beautiful, but it's a pity that it hasn't been there yet. When I went there, I went all the way to Bayuan Town, and then took the provincial road to Luoyuan Town. The scenery along the way can be said to be picturesque, especially in the valley where the source of the two rivers is located, which is almost as good as Niubeiliang. It was free when I went last year.

Specially recommended is the "Longtan" at the source of Luoyuan River, which is only 7 kilometers away from Luoyuan Town. It is located on the south slope of Caolianling, the highest peak in the East Qinling Mountains. The car can drive directly to the entrance of the valley, enter the mountain along the river from the stone-paved mountain road, and walk to the "Longtan" in about twenty or thirty minutes. This is a triple waterfall with towering canyons and swift waterfalls, and the clear pool below is extremely deep and quiet.

If you don't want to climb the undeveloped grass chain ridge, it's good to play near Longtan.

Leave the source of the Luohe River and go forward, and you will arrive at Baoan Town. The scenery along this road is a bit like the national highway 108 on the Heihe River. The road is on the stone wall, and at the foot is Zhangping Reservoir, the drinking water source of Luonan people.

Baoan Town is only 29 kilometers away from Luonan County. It is said that "Saint" Cang Xie first created 28 Chinese characters in Luonan. He created these characters in Pandi Village, Baoan. In addition, there is a man-made "Tianhe" coiled on the cliffs-Luo Hui Canal, and the sacrifice place of revolutionary martyr Tang Shu.

From Baoan Town to the south, cross Yongfeng Town and reach Luonan County, Shangluo.

Luonan is also called "Huayang" because it is in the south of Huashan Mountain. At that time, Zhou Wuwang's "Huashan on Sword" refers to Luonan.

Zhou Wuwang can ride on horseback, which shows that Luonan is an open terrain, which is a Sichuan land between two mountains, with Qinling Mountains in the north, steep mountains in the north and gentle mountains in the south. Mangling, which surrounds the south and extends to the southeast, forms a boundary ridge with Shangzhou City and Danfeng County, which is the watershed between Luohe River and Danjiang River system. Nanluohe River flows eastward from central Shaanxi, enters Henan and empties into the Yellow River. Therefore, Luonan became the only county in the Yellow River basin south of Qinling Mountains.

In the past, Luonan was an important grain-producing area, which was called "Xiaozhongguan". Now, it is an era dominated by economy. In addition to growing grain, there is a considerable tobacco planting area in Luonan. In addition, there are rural towns with flowers everywhere, such as music town, rose town and splendid land. If you catch up with the flower season, you will really fall into a dreamy sea of flowers.

When you arrive in Luonan, you must try the delicious food in Luonan. I especially recommend you to go to the restaurant "Luonan Impression". I don't know if I can open it now I ate there in September the year before last. Up to now, the taste of walnut cake, acorn jelly, tofu and fungus in its shop is still in my memory.

From Luonan to Feng Dan again, you must cross Mangling, one of the Qinling Mountains.

Mangling Mountain, one of the branches of Qinling Mountain, was called "Difei Mountain" in ancient times, also known as "Zhonggan Mountain". It starts from Luoyuan Town in the west and winds about 1 10 km to Jian 'anling in the southeast of Gaoyao Town. To the north of Lingbei is Nanluo River in the Yellow River Basin, and to the south of Lingnan is Danjiang River in the Yangtze River Basin. There is "Cuiping in Wenxian County", one of the eight scenic spots in Luonan, on Mangling Mountain, which originates from Wenggou River in Danfeng County, looks at Ganling in the north, Wuguan in Nantong in the east, and Lushi in the east. It is a town of three worlds.

The main peak with the same name as Mangling is located at the junction of Luonan and Feng Dan. Since ancient times, these two places have been connected by an ancient road through the mang forest. Now, it has become a highway for vehicles. This road connects Luonan, Shangzhou and Feng Dan in series. Under the unified planning of Shangluo, the three districts and counties jointly developed this road into a tourist road for leisure self-driving, cycling and holding sports events-"Mangling Greenway".

Driving from Luonan County to Tangcun, you can enter Mangling Greenway, pass Zhaikou Village, Xuecun Village and Yaozhuang Village to Luonan Watershed, all the way up the river, and after 4 1 km, you can reach a place called "Beikuanping" in Shangzhou District.

Beikuanping is worth a stop. This is a village located in a ravine in the northeast of Shangzhou District. Kuanping River, a tributary of Danjiang River, flows through the middle. Because the terrain is relatively wide and flat, it is named "Beikuanping".

Although Beikuanping is just a village, it used to burn with passion. 1946, when a full-scale civil war broke out, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized more than 300,000 troops to attack the 60,000 troops in the Central Plains Liberated Area, one of the six major war zones in China. Li Xiannian, then commander of the Central Plains Military Region, led his troops to break through successfully, moved to southern Shaanxi, settled in northern Kuanping, and established a revolutionary base in Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi with Shangluo as the center. Two years later, Shangxian People's Government was established here, which still has its former site and a memorial hall.

From Beikuanping to Yanhe Mountain, you can reach Danjiang, and walk southeast along the 3 12 national road, you can come to the hometown of Jiapingwa, the ancient town of Dihua, and Danfeng County is not far away.

Personally, I think this route can not only enjoy the natural beauty and geographical features, but also explore the Qinling Mountains and visit the cultural customs along the way. This is a very rich route. You can spend two days shopping if you are interested.
