Because he usually works and can only drive around on weekends, Huang Xiaohuang and his family don’t go far each time. They just go shopping in Shaanxi Province and around Xi’an. The scenic spots are not big. Entry is free unless there are few people.

Last weekend, I visited the Qinling Mountains and found a self-driving route. The road conditions were very good and the scenery along the way was also good. In addition to enjoying the unique scenery of the Qinling Mountains, there were also some ancient temples and ancient towns full of stories. There are many scenic spots and many special delicacies. I think I can recommend it to you. This route is the 312 National Highway from "Lantian Wuzhen Valley to Shangluo Shangzhou".

Before setting off, Huang Xiaohuang had a general understanding of the direction of National Highway 312, and knew that it was a route that entered the mountains from Lantian, Xi'an, came out of the mountains from Shangluo Shangzhou District, and crossed the north and south of the Qinling Mountains. Based on his previous experience in hiking into the mountains, Huang Xiaohuang also reminded "special car drivers" to be prepared to take winding mountain roads.

After entering the mountain, I found that it was completely unnecessary. This mountain road is easy to walk, with two lanes in both directions. The road is wide and the slope is gentle. Even though the "driver" is a novice, he is completely comfortable and can drive at the same time. Relax and enjoy the picturesque scenery of green mountains.

The national highway from entering the mountain in Lantian to Gouyu in Shangzhou is about 64 kilometers long. There are many speed limits (40) along the way, and it takes about an hour and a half to run one way.

Although I knew before setting off that there were small towns such as Muhu Pass and Heilongkou on the way, I imagined that the mountain should be a mountain with few people and far away from human habitation. However, I did not expect that I would enter the heart of the mountain through a narrow mountain road. , climbing to the top of the mountain, there are villages along the way. This road is like entering the "Peach Blossom Spring" written by Tao Yuanming.

Not to mention the villages, there are four densely populated and prosperous places along the way.

The first place is Lanqiao Town in Lantian County. This is a thousand-year-old town on the Languan Ancient Road. The terrain is relatively open, and the Lanqiao River flows from the middle to the outside of the mountain. When I entered the mountain, I didn't stop here because I wanted to go to Heilongkou. When I came out of the mountain, I found that this is the most suitable place to stop. The mountains surround it like a barrier. The wind in the river is very strong and it is very cool. The river is full of small rocks and the water is clear and shallow, suitable for playing in the water.

The second place is Muhu Pass. Muhuguan is located in Shangzhou District, Shangluo. It should be the place with the highest altitude on this trip. It is said online that the average altitude of Muhuguan Town is 1,300 meters. Huang Xiaohuang’s most intuitive feeling is that the car starts to climb slowly as soon as it reaches the Muhuguan Tunnel. The slope is steep. As soon as you exit the tunnel, you will face a downhill slope. The slope is very gentle. There are many villages along the way, and there are many greenhouses on the roadside, but few people come out to walk.

The third place is the Black Dragon's Mouth that I miss so much. Heilongkou used to be a town, but later the town was removed and merged into Muhuguan Town. Heilongkou is divided into New Street and Old Street. The New Street is on National Highway 312, and the Old Street is on Provincial Highway 101. The prime location where the two highways intersect gives Heilongkou a different kind of prosperity, but that was before the expressway. It's over.

After passing the expressway, the passenger flow in Heilongkou dropped sharply. When I arrived, what I saw was an ordinary small town with a bit of a dilapidated atmosphere. The tofu here is said to be the most delicious in Shaanxi. The method of preparing high mountain soybeans, mountain spring water and unique paste is difficult to copy elsewhere. This time I bought two big bags for 20 yuan. I took them home and gave them to relatives and friends. They all praised them!

The fourth place is Ma Street. Once here, it is not far from the mountain, only 13 kilometers left. The streets of Ma Street are narrow and the houses are densely packed. One house is connected to another, forming a long lane, but it is very quiet.

Huang Xiaohuang’s daughter separated the uppers and soles of her sandals while playing in the river. Under the guidance of the villagers, she entered Ma Street to buy slippers. After walking through the long street, she found 9 out of 10 households. close the door. I found a "convenience store" and the middle-aged store owner said: "People are going to Xi'an to make money." She said that there have always been gatherings on Ma Street. In the past, going to the market was always crowded and crowded, but now there are only forty or fifty people going to the market.

Finally, let’s talk about the scenic spots that everyone is concerned about. From entering the mountain to coming out of the mountain, there are probably seven or eight famous scenic spots that can be seen along the way.

Including Shuilu Temple at the entrance to the mountains in Lantian, Wuzhen Temple, a famous temple in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wangshun Mountain, Yushan Blue River, Lianhua Mountain and the thousand-year-old Languan Ancient Road in the 4A scenic spots in Lanqiao Town.

The farmhouses near Muhuguan are quite beautiful, but the only scenic spot is Muhuguan Ski Resort. There may be others. Anyone who knows is welcome to add.

Near Ma Street there are Anshanyi and Daibei Yashan Natural Ecological Scenic Area. I didn’t go shopping this time, so I won’t comment.

There is the Xian'e Lake Scenic Area behind the mountains in Shangzhou, which is known as the "Back Garden of Shangluo people". "Xian'e Lake" is its stage name, and its real name is Erlongshan Reservoir. This is the water source protection area of ??Shangluo. Breeding, fishing, swimming, tourism and vehicle entry are prohibited.

Huang Xiaohuang originally wanted to return to Xi'an along the path beside the Erlongshan Reservoir, but failed. In the end, he spent a pleasant day with his children at the "Water World" under the reservoir dam. In the afternoon, he went along National Highway 312 Return to Xi'an via the original route.
