🚩 Taiyang Highway: Taiyang Highway (Taibai County, Baoji City - Yang County, Hanzhong City) crosses the heart of the Qinling Mountains and two major scenic areas, Taibai Mountain and Huayang Ancient Town, connecting Taibai Mountain, Huangbaiyuan, and Huayang Ancient Town. The scenery is breathtaking.
🚩 Dajiangou: Dajiangou Scenic Area is located in Huangbaiyuan Town, Taibai County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, 4 km from Huangbaiyuan Town. The scenic area is surrounded by copper walls and iron walls, Taibai ink, and three walls. The water scenery is beautiful and ever-changing, and the strange mountains and rocks are amazing.
🚩 Huangbaiyuan: Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area is one of the most primitive ecological areas in the Qinling Mountains, known as the "natural oxygen bar" and "Jiuzhaigou of the Qinling Mountains."
🚩 Shili Gallery: A winding path that carries joy and records time.
🚩 Zhouzhi Old County: The Shangri-La of Shaanxi, a forgotten paradise. The old county is located in the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by mountains, with a piece of undeveloped virgin forest, where golden monkeys, antelopes, leopards, and other animals often appear. There is a giant panda nature reserve in Taibai Mountain, with more than 30 giant pandas, as well as rare wild plants such as fir and bamboo grass. Wild chickens and squirrels are often seen along the way, giving a sense of the original mountain forest.
✅ Travel tips:
Bring enough food and water, as well as necessary outdoor equipment such as hiking boots, sunscreen, and rain gear. Also, as the area is mountainous and the weather is unpredictable, it is recommended to bring some warm clothing.
