Speaking of landscape, let's talk about Hukou Waterfall first. The Yellow River is the birthplace of Chinese culture and our mother river, and the most spectacular part of this river is Hukou Waterfall, which extends from Yulin Shenmu in northern Shaanxi to Tongguan in southern Weinan. It can be said that it runs through the whole Shaanxi province! Today, the "1 highway" in China is built along the west bank of the Yellow River, with a total length of 828.5 kilometers. It is also called the highway along the Yellow River.
This road was built to develop economy and tourism. The whole highway directly connects the mineral resources and agricultural products in northern Shaanxi with developed cities such as xi 'an. For tourists, we can better drive along the Yellow River and enjoy the scenery of the Yellow River in The Journey to the West. It also connects more than 50 scenic spots in the province in series, so that you can really understand the origin and development history of Shaanxi and the Chinese nation.
Along the Yellow Highway, it starts from Qiangtou Township, Fugu County, Yulin City in the north and reaches huayin city Huashan Lotus Pagoda in the south, with a total length of 828.5 kilometers. It is mainly divided into four sections: Yulin Section, Yan 'an Section, Hancheng Section and Weinan Section, with a total length of 4 15 kilometers, Yan 'an Section 24 1 km, Hancheng Section 74.4 kilometers and Weinan Section 65448.

This section of the road is basically built along the west bank of the Yellow River, and it is also the longest section of the whole highway along the Yellow River. Because it is on the Loess Plateau, it is also the most difficult and expensive building, about 2.5 billion yuan. This section of highway connects Shenfu, Yu Jia and Yin Qing Expressway, and is connected with six national highways, such as G336, G338, G337, G339, G307 and G340.

On this day, I usually live in Suide. Although Suide is not a big place, there are still many scenic spots, such as Fushu Tomb and Mengtian Tomb. If you know the history of the Qin Dynasty, you will be familiar with these two men. If you don't know, you can look at the myth shot by Hugh. Before that, I made a special trip to Suide to look for their graves, but I couldn't find them. They are indeed relatively small scenic spots.
Next to Fu Shu's tomb, there is a Suidehan stone relief exhibition hall. Entering the exhibition hall is like entering an ancient just visiting, which attracts a large number of cultural relics and archaeologists to visit it every year.

Day 6: Suide-Guojiagou-Wubao-jia county

Day 7: jia county-Puffer

Because there is Baiyun Temple on the mountain, it is called Baiyun Mountain, and there is the wonders of the Yellow River Canyon at the foot of the mountain. Baiyun Mountain is a famous Taoist shrine in China, which was founded in the Song Dynasty. At present, many cultural products such as architecture, murals, calligraphy, sculpture and music have been preserved.

Day 8: Fugu-Great Wall-Shenmu-Yulin
Erlangshan
Erlang Mountain is a scenic spot of Shenmu, which belongs to mountaineering, but the mountain is really not very high and the scenic spot is very long. You can always walk along the river and stand on the mountain overlooking the whole Shenmu city. Tourism in scenic spots consumes a lot of energy. I suggest you bring your own dry food before playing. The last time I went, I found that the scenic spot was expanded, so it took about 2-4 hours to walk back and forth, which was very suitable for taking pictures, and some sections were still dangerous.
Admission: free.
Address: Provincial Highway 204, Shenmu, Yulin
Redstone Gorge
Hongshixia is a good place to take pictures. There are many stone carving arts in it, which is actually a Buddhist holy land.

Tickets: 30 yuan.
Address: Beiyuemiao Village, Yuyang Town, Yuyang District, Yulin City
Tip: There is another town in Yulin City, Beitai and an ancient street, but personally, it is not worth going. Zhenbeitai is relatively small, and the scenic spot is charged. There is basically no one inside, 30-60 minutes is enough. The old street is next to the second street. There are no tourists, they are all locals, and sometimes there are students, so business is average.

This is a provincial-level tourist scenic spot in Shaanxi, located in the hinterland of Dongsheng coalfield in the northwest of Shenmu City.

In the process of self-driving, the roads in Weinan are mostly plain areas with good road conditions. When passing through Dali, they will pass through many towns and there is a winter jujube market. When driving, everyone must slow down and pay attention to pedestrians crossing the road. In the Qiachuan section of Heyang, the road will be very narrow, and both sides are close to the water, so the price should be extra careful and try not to park on the road.
When passing through Hancheng section, many roads here are shared by national roads and urban roads, and there are many pedestrians and vehicles. It is difficult to find the entrance along the Yellow Highway at Yumenkou. The section from Hancheng to Yichuan is the Shanxi-Shaanxi Canyon of Zhujing. The scenery is very good, and the roads are mostly close to water and cliffs, so be careful.
After the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, the road to Qingjian basically leaves the Yellow River. This road is basically a plateau gully region with many mountains, deep ditches, many bends and steep slopes. You must control the speed when driving. If you travel together, I suggest you go this way.
From Qingjian North to Qiangtou Township in Fugu, we basically returned to the Yellow River, and we all walked along it. The road is tortuous and there are many cliff sections. We should pay attention to the falling rocks on both sides of the road, try not to stay and pass quickly. If it rains, we must pay attention to whether the road is dangerous and then pass. If we go to the north section, we are advised not to drive at night, which will be particularly dangerous.
Due to limited conditions, there are sometimes few accommodation options along the northern section of the Yellow Highway. If you drive in summer, you can consider setting up a tent. In some sections, due to the large number of mountains and tunnels, mobile phones will temporarily lose signal. And most of them are 3G signals, and major cities can connect with 4G.
