Travel route on the road:

Depart from the vicinity of An Aerospace City, take the Ring Expressway, transfer from Hechi Zhai Interchange to G5 Jingkun Expressway, get off at Ningshan Toll Station, and drive for about 20 kilometers to reach the county seat. Whole journey 156 km.

Ningshan is not far from Xi 'an. It takes two and a half hours by car. Depart at 5 pm, arrive at Qinling service area at 6: 30, rest in the service area for more than 20 minutes, then continue on the road, get off at 7: 30, walk for nearly half an hour, and arrive at Ningshan county at 8 pm.

Hotel accommodation:

Chuanwan rafting and water park are located at the entrance of Ningshan Expressway. Last time I brought my children, I drifted for a while, and I felt good. If I want to play these projects, I should come in the morning. We didn't stop at the county seat, but we still stayed at Jin Lan House Hotel on the edge of the county seat. I stayed in this hotel last time, but I didn't look for it again this time. Just moved in, the environment and conditions are not bad.

After arriving in Ningshan County, I felt that this place was not cold, it was over 30 degrees. Perhaps it is because this county is located in the Qinling Mountains. After staying, I went straight out to find food. The shopkeeper said there was a night market, so he went to barbecue, just ate a little and went to the nearby Binhe Park for a walk.

Have a rest in Qinling service area.

The antique gatehouse at the entrance of the county seat is Yingbin Avenue.

Opposite the gatehouse is Jin Lan Home Inn.

After dinner, I went for a walk in Binhe Park.

On the way back

I have been to Ningshan before, and I went to Shangbahe Forest Park. The interior is well decorated. Send some last photos, let me have a look.

Destination: Shibazhang Waterfall, Chenghuang Temple, Xi City.

Route arrangement:

From Ningshan County, take G2 10 National Road to Xi 'an, drive for 15 km and then go to Shibazhang Waterfall; Continue to drive along G2 10, and reach Xi 'an via Pingheliang and Watershed. Whole journey185km.

I got up after 7 o'clock in the morning because I had the task of walking the dog. Opposite is Huanshan Forest Park. I went up from the gatehouse and walked around the forest park around the mountain for a while. Huanshan Forest Park is built on Rentou Mountain in the south of the county seat, along the mountainside, with a total length of 3.5 kilometers and all steps. I was a little tired when I got up, so I turned a little corner and came down.

Think about your next trip when you come back. Nearby are Shangbahe Forest Park, Yuranshan Forest Park, Shibazhang Waterfall and other scenic spots. I have been to Shangbahe Forest Park for the last time, so I don't think about it, but the scenery is OK. Those who haven't been there can go there.

It's not bad to see the introduction of youranshan. On the way to the county seat, go back the same way and take the high-speed home. I haven't been sure where to go, so I decided to go to Shibazhang Waterfall Park first.

Eighteen Palm Waterfalls used to be a scenic spot, but now fewer people go there, which is basically deserted and does not accept tickets. After checking out at 8: 30 in the morning, I still went to the county for breakfast, then went north along the national highway and arrived at Shibazhang Waterfall Scenic Area at 9: 20.

After entering, walk along the stream. The roads are lush and the streams are gurgling. You can see the waterfall in about 20 minutes. The waterfall looks spectacular, about 18 feet high, so it is called 18 feet waterfall. Stayed in it for more than 1 hour.

The gatehouse seen in the morning is connected with the corridor of Huanshan Forest Park.

There is no place to park at the entrance of Shibazhang Waterfall, and it stops at the farmhouse opposite, charging 5 yuan.

After coming out, the weather is still hot. There are two routes. One is to go back to the alpine wetlands in You Ran, and then go home from the expressway. The other is to cross the Qinling Mountains and take the national road home.

Tickets to introduce You Ran are still relatively expensive. It seems to be dominated by grass. I'm afraid of getting too tanned, so I have to spend money on it. In fact, I didn't expect this scenic spot to be included in the annual tourist ticket at that time, otherwise I could go to the free scenic spot.

On the way to Shibazhang Waterfall, there is also a Ningshan City God Temple, which is also a scenic spot. I haven't stopped since I came. Now I decided to go back to the City God Temple before deciding the route, so I walked back 9 kilometers to the Ningshan City God Temple.

Built on the sandbar of Chang 'an River, Ningshan City God Temple looks like a boat, surrounded by water, living alone in the center, surrounded by towering old trees and bamboo. Its specifications and shapes are similar to those of official buildings, with the north facing south and the Ningshan Town God Temple facing south. It is a rare well-preserved ancient architectural complex in southern Shaanxi. If you are passing by, you can come and have a look.

There are two sacred trees in the backyard. This is the introduction of the holy tree.

The Chenghuang Temple is very small and will be completed in a short time. We were in no hurry, so we rested in it for nearly an hour. Then we decided to take the G2 10 National Road and go home over the Qinling Mountains just to see the scenery along the way.

There are not many cars on the road, and the weather is getting colder and colder. When we get to Pingheliang, the temperature will probably be more than 20 degrees. Pingheliang is the watershed between the ten-day river system in the Han River basin and the Chang 'an River basin, a tributary of Woods, and also the boundary point between the south and north sections of Woods Road. Rest in Pingheliang and prepare to go to Xunyangba Town for dinner.

I met a cyclist in Pingheliang and rode all the way from Shiquan County in the morning, ready to ride to Xi 'an.

Pingheliangshang

Arrive at Xunyangba Town at 12: 30 pm. Xunyangba Town is 34 kilometers northeast of Ningshan County. The ancient meridian plank road passes through the territory and is an important distribution center for goods and materials of ancient merchants in the north and south. There are few people in the town, but there are also some farmhouses. I found one to have a rest while eating.

Xunyang bazhen street, 2 10 national road passes through the town.

After dinner, I continued to the north, passing through the drifting of Qinling Canyon, Huo Guang Street and the watershed, and entered the urban area of Xi. Halfway through, it stopped and reached the Qinling watershed at 3: 30 in the afternoon. The watershed has been here many times. This time, I stayed on it for a while, let the dog go down and prepare to go down the mountain.

It usually takes more than two hours to get home from the watershed. There was a big traffic jam today, and it was all blocked from Jiulongtan. Basically, they walk a little, go down the mountain after 8 o'clock in the evening, and return to the home of Aerospace City after 9 o'clock.

Ningshan county can take a two-day tour. If you leave early in the morning, you can visit all the scenic spots such as Tongche Bay rafting, Shangbahe Forest Park, Chenghuang Temple, Shibazhang Waterfall, Youran Mountain and alpine wetland at one time. Ningshan county is not cool, but it has high oxygen content and good air quality. You can experience the slow life in a small county.
