Danjiangkou Huan Reservoir is not bad by car, but not as good as expected.

There are many comments and praises about Danjiangkou Reservoir on the Internet, such as these pictures:

I went to see these beautiful scenery. Although it was worth visiting, it was not as good as I thought, and I couldn't see these pictures. Because these pictures are all from the perspective of aerial photography, and the perspective of self-driving people can't see this.

the following is my self-driving around the library.

There is also a route map around the island on the Internet, with suggestions for large loop lines and small loop lines.

I chose the small loop. That is, it starts from danjiangkou city to the south, passes through Longshan Town-Wudang Mountain Scenic Area-Liuliping Town-Xijun Bridge-Xijiadian Town-Shigu Town-Liangshui Town, and goes back to Danjiangkou.

as far as road conditions are concerned, only the section from danjiangkou city to Longshan Town and the section of Wudang Mountain Scenic Area can meet the first-class standard, and the other sections are provincial cement pavements. There are few cars in the whole trip, and the shade is dense, so it is still very comfortable to drive by car.

However, there is no complete road sign around the lake. In fact, you need to use navigation to enter the next town from time to time and choose not to take the expressway. Only in this way can we not go wrong on the provincial, county and township roads around the lake.

Arrive at the starting point of Huanhu Road at noon on the first day.

The sunshine is not strong, and the temperature by the lake is less than 3 degrees. Roll down the window and start a trip along the lake.

There's a pavilion on the roadside, and when I climb into the distance, my big red horse is waiting quietly by the roadside. The road conditions in danjiangkou city are really good.

after arriving in Longshan town, I am going to continue to Junzhou ancient town. Only to find that the connected maple dirt road is really a dirt road, a washboard dirt road without repair at all. I can't see how far it is, and it's getting dark. Think about leaving tomorrow.

So I turned back to Thousand Island Gallery and stayed. Almost every residence can provide accommodation, which is of course very general.

before dark, look at the scenery on the observation deck.

thinking that the maple dirt road was difficult to walk, I set out early the next day.

However, when the navigation needs to enter the next location, Liuliping Town, it staggered the maple dirt road and took another country road. Fortunately, there is no one without a car in the morning, and there is no difficulty in meeting cars.

It's hard to bend the road, but the air on the country path is fresh, no one has cars, and the road surface is smooth and clean.

turn to the first-line highway of Tuwu and return to the reservoir, and the lake view appears again.

The next target is the ancient town of Junzhou, but the actual situation is that the ancient town has been flooded due to the construction of a water reservoir, and now it is an antique building. I didn't stop. I moved on.

From Junzhou Ancient Town to Xijiadian Town, it's a different scenery, completely around the mountains.

After passing Canglang Bridge, many people are fishing on the bridge. It is very quiet around, with no motor vehicles and all the noises in the world.

from xijiadian town to liangshuihe town in shigu town, it is an ordinary provincial road, with a group of cyclists in Lu Yu. Cycling around the lake still takes a lot of perseverance, coming all the way, constantly going up and down the mountain, and sharply bending the steep slope. I admire them.

Take the provincial highway 327, then return to danjiangkou city, and finish a short circle around the lake.

The small ring road is about 23 kilometers, and it is still very comfortable to drive by car. Except for pedestrians and traffic lights when crossing the market town, most of the time you drive by bike. The road is very green and quiet, and it is very comfortable to listen to songs, watch the scenery and think about your heart.

when you are not in a hurry, you can set up a small table by the roadside, make a pot of coffee, blow the wind and see the mountain and lake views, which is also very pleasant.

just don't be misled by aerial photos.
