Three. Introduction of large, medium and small loop lines

It is worth mentioning that there are several bridges on the Han River. If time is tight and you don't want to take the big loop, you can take the small loop after crossing the bridge. Combined with the map, I divided the highway around the reservoir into three loops: the big loop, the middle loop and the small loop:

Great Ring Road: The largest green ring road in the picture, starting from danjiangkou city, going west along the Han River, reaching Jiangjun River, crossing the Han River and returning east along the Han River.

Zhonghuan Road: Depart from danjiangkou city, go west along the Hanjiang River North, cross Yunyang Hanjiang Bridge in Yunyang District, reach Chadian Town in the south of the Yangtze River, and then follow.

Small Ring Road: The small ring road marked in the figure starts from danjiangkou city, goes west along the north of the Han River, passes through Xijiadian Town, walks for several kilometers, gets off near Xingshuping, goes south to the river, crosses Xijun Bridge, goes south through Zhoujun Ancient Town, takes Liu Jun Road to Liuliping Town, and then goes east.

Four. Introduction of scenic spots along the way

Danjiangkou city, known as the "Water Capital of China", is also the second largest citrus producing area in Hubei Province, the main tea producing area in Wudang Road and a large aquatic product market. Now Danjiangkou is once again known to the world. It originated from the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, and a pool of clear water was sent to Beijing.

Danjiangkou dam is a landmark building of the middle route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project.

Danjiangkou Reservoir is located in the middle and upper reaches of Hanjiang River. It is the largest artificial lake in Asia and has the reputation of "Tianchi Lake in Asia".

Canglanghai tourist town, Qu Yuan's famous sentence "Canglang water is clear, can feel my tassel, Canglang water is turbid, can feel my feet" is here. The entrance to the south line of Danjiangkou Huanku Highway is near Canglanghai Town.

The beautiful scenery of Canglang Sea

Niuhe Forest Park is located at the upstream of Danjiang Dam 15km, which integrates forest animal and plant landscape, landform landscape, hydrological landscape, human landscape, mountains, water, forests, gorges and islands.

Qiandao Gallery Scenic Area, located in Wugumiao Village of Niuhe Forest Park, is a combination of many lakes and tributaries formed by mountains and lakes. With the impoundment of the reservoir, the water level rises, forming many irregular islands dotted on the water surface. The scenic spot is characterized by "mountains and rivers alternate with each other" and is surrounded by mountains and waters. Really achieved "there is water in the mountains, mountains are seen in the water, and mountains are surrounded by mountains and rivers", full of poetry and painting everywhere.

Longtan River Tourist Area is dotted with ancient natural and cultural landscapes such as mountains, rocks, ditches, caves, trees, vines, flowers, grasses, fruits, bamboos and ancient buildings, with beautiful natural landscapes and distinctive scenic spots.

Taiji Gorge Scenic Area is the only Danxia Geopark in Hubei Province and the largest Danxia landform area north of the Yangtze River. The strangest and most beautiful scenery in Taiji Gorge Scenic Area is the natural "Tai Chi Map" surrounded by Qinglong Mountain and Huanglong Mountain. This is a rare spectacle in the world.

Taiji Gorge artistic conception

The ancient city of Zhoujun can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago. Zhu Di, Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, built the Forbidden City in the north and Wudang in the south. He used 300,000 migrant workers to copy the Forbidden City and built a beautiful Zhou Juncheng on the banks of the Hanshui River. Zhoujun in history is a beautiful and rich place, with the Han River passing through the city and Qian Fan gathering all the year round. It is known as "Yunyang made of paper and Zhou Jun made of iron". After the Danjiangkou Reservoir was completed, the original Zhoujun ancient city was completely submerged, and now the ancient town has been rebuilt into an antique.

Wudang Mountain Scenic Area, a 5A-level scenic spot, is one of the famous Taoist holy places in China, facing Danjiangkou Reservoir and backing Shennongjia forest area. Wudang Mountain is in a strange situation, with towering peaks and surrounded by peaks. It has both the grandeur of Mount Tai and the precipitousness of Mount Hua, with cliffs, deep canyons and caves dotted with clear springs.
