Clouds rise in the east, a dreamlike scene.
The beauty of the natural scenery is inextricably linked to the weather, season, and time of year! Although the mountain hadn't yet turned red, it was raining when we climbed, but the rain stopped just as we were there. The scenery suddenly transformed, and it was breathtakingly beautiful! The backdrop was incredibly beautiful! Highly recommended!
I went there before the National Day holiday, so there were fewer tourists. After the rain, there was a lot of fog on the mountain, so many attractions were not visible. There were less than 2,000 steps to climb up the mountain. The cable car took me to the scenic spots, which were basically at the same altitude. The air was very good, so it was worth visiting.

We stayed in the scenic area and slowly explored Xianglu Peak, Black Bear Valley, Big and Small Orchid Valleys, and the Natural Gallery. The accommodations were very comfortable.
Some areas for improvement are the excessive dust on the roads at the dam transportation hub and the fact that small shops burn coal, resulting in poor air quality.
Some public restrooms, especially those at the crowded dam, lacked running water and were rather dirty.
Otherwise, everything was quite good and well worth the effort. The colorful forest is truly beautiful.
Guangwu Mountain's crimson foliage is concentrated in the Micang Mountain Scenic Area. Key viewing spots include the Natural Gallery, Black Bear Valley, the Big and Small Blue Valleys, and Xianglu Peak. Key photography spots include Jiaguo Mountain, the Natural Gallery, Black Bear Valley, Xianglu Mountain, and the Blue Valley Bridge. Black Bear Valley is the highlight of Guangwu Mountain, where the stream and crimson foliage complement each other beautifully, creating a breathtaking photo op. A stroll through the Natural Gallery feels like stepping into a vibrant oil painting. Xianglu Mountain, the highest point of Guangwu Mountain at 4,680 meters, offers breathtaking views from the cable car overlooking the vast sea of crimson leaves and the sunrise over a sea of clouds.

Eighteen Moon Lake is truly worth a visit. It's a lesser-known attraction, but the scenery rivals Jiuzhaigou and Huangguoshu Waterfall. It's truly stunning, with a continuous flow of waterfalls along the way. The walk down and then the shuttle service back up are excellent, making it a great place to relax.
Eighteen Moon Lake Scenic Area: A poetic painting between mountains and waters
Rating: ★★★★☆
The Eighteen Moon Lake Scenic Area, located deep in Guangwu Mountain, attracts many tourists with its unique water pools and waterfalls and beautiful natural scenery.
Scenery:
- Water pool waterfall: Eighteen water pools are inlaid in the mountains like emeralds, the water is clear and the waterfalls are cascading, majestic. The Wedding Dress Waterfall is about 50 meters high and shaped like a wedding dress, spectacular and romantic.
- Colorful forest and red leaves: In autumn, the red leaves all over the mountains and the green waters and green mountains complement each other, forming a colorful picture that makes people linger.
- Original ecology: The scenic area has dense vegetation, fresh air, and high negative oxygen ion content. It is an excellent place to escape the heat and get close to nature.
Facilities and services:
- Transportation: You can drive directly to the top of the mountain parking lot, and the parking fee is 10 yuan. But the mountain road is winding, so drive carefully. The shuttle service in the scenic area is convenient and can save physical energy.
- Tour route: The wooden plank road is built along the water, which is gentle and easy to walk, suitable for tourists of all ages. However, the stairs in some sections are steep, so you need to pay attention to safety.
- Supporting facilities: There are few rest areas in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring your own food and water. The basic facilities such as toilets are basically complete, but they may be slightly insufficient during the peak season.
Cost-effectiveness: The ticket price is reasonable, the scenery is beautiful, the tour experience is good, and the overall cost-effectiveness is high. It is recommended to book tickets in advance on platforms such as Ctrip to enjoy preferential prices.
Suggestions:
- Best time to visit: Spring and autumn, the climate is pleasant and the scenery is the most beautiful. Especially during the autumn red leaf festival, but be aware that there are many tourists.
- Tour method: It is recommended to hike down from the top of the mountain, which is labor-saving and can enjoy a panoramic view. The whole journey takes about 2-3 hours.
- Notes: The temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountainous area is large, so it is recommended to bring a coat. Some sections may be slippery, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes.
In general, the Eighteen Moon Lake Scenic Area is a natural landscape worth visiting. Whether you want to appreciate the beauty of mountains and rivers or experience the fun of hiking, you can find satisfaction here.

The autumn scenery here is very beautiful, and the water scenery is also beautiful. When we went there, there were few tourists in late autumn, so the photos were very good. We took the sightseeing bus to the end and got off, then walked down the wooden plank road to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Huangbaiyuan has beautiful scenery, with unique and colorful rocks. The road is basically flat and not difficult to walk on. The mountains are full of red leaves in autumn. The river in the canyon hits the boulders and rushes down the valley. In the pools with slow currents, the water is crystal clear.

In Xi'an, which is rich in historical charm, there are many famous ancient temples at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. Although Guanyin Temple has gone through the washing and tempering of time, it was originally an unknown one among many ancient monuments. Its uniqueness lies in an ancient tree in it - the ginkgo tree that is more than 1,400 years old. This golden ancient tree has not withered and dilapidated because of the passage of time. Instead, it exudes a more tranquil vitality and once became popular on social media. Due to force majeure, the temple has been closed, and the ginkgo leaves in late autumn are not golden enough, but it is not easy to be lucky enough to see it. This year's ginkgo tree will still be dazzlingly yellow. Without the disturbance of tourists, it must be more beautiful.
Ancient Guanyin Zen Temple is located in the suburbs of Xi'an, at the foot of Qinling Mountains. It is one of the thousand-year-old temples in Zhongnan Mountain. The temple is quiet and solemn, and the scenery is pleasant. There is an ancient ginkgo tree over 1,400 years old in the backyard, which was planted by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. The branches are lush and green, and the ginkgo nuts are hanging on the branches, which is very beautiful.

The scenery is very beautiful, it's like the Little Switzerland of Shaanxi, haha. The cableway is very long, and it's basically vertical up and down at the end. There's a lot of fog and the temperature difference is big. It's recommended to wear a jacket.
Including the cableway, the total cost is about 110 per person. The cost-effectiveness is not high in Shaanxi. After getting off the cableway, you still need to hike for a while, which is quite good. It's easy and you can exercise a little bit~
The beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain is worth it, but the infrastructure of the scenic area is average, the guidance is not clear, the garbage is a little scattered (controllable), the cable car feels old and there is no way to take pictures. It's gray, and the natural scenery is nothing to say
Under special circumstances, you can be taken to the scenic area for free from the intersection, but the cable car is out of service, so you have to walk up and down, which is quite troublesome, and there is nothing new, all pine trees and steps. There is no water, no fun, and the shuttle bus in the scenic area is still 10 yuan one way, which is not a good experience

The Qinling Scenic Area is truly wonderful and a perfect place to relax and unwind. Gaoguan Waterfall is a breathtaking waterfall, and standing nearby, the steam hits your face with a refreshing coolness, making it especially pleasant in the summer. The Jinsi Gorge hike is quite long, but with streams, small waterfalls, and clear pools along the way, it's never boring. The mountain spring water is refreshing and sweet. The mountain air is incredibly fresh, and just breathing it feels completely invigorated.
The scenery here is unique in each season. Spring offers abundant wildflowers, autumn offers vibrant leaves, the mountaintop meadows are vast, and winter offers stunning snowy scenery. If you're lucky, you might even spot birds and small animals in the woods, which is quite fascinating. The mountain temples and ancient trails also offer a sense of history.
Overall, the Qinling Mountains offer natural scenery, fresh air, and a tranquil environment, making them perfect for a weekend hike or a holiday to relax and connect with nature. The authentic jelly and pickled vegetables sold by farmers along the road are also worth trying. It's a truly authentic scenic area well worth a visit.
🌄 Qinling Scenery: The wonderland secret next to the city! Must go reason ⬇️ Stay away from the dust 🚗: Close to big cities such as Xi'an, convenient transportation, just leave on weekends! It is a great "back garden" to escape the hustle and bustle. Ecological treasure house 🐼🌳: real "Central National Park"! The virgin forest is covered, the air is fresh and intoxicating, and it is one of the homes of the national treasure giant pandas! Wild fun. Four seasons are beautiful 🖼️: Spring enjoys the mountains and flowers in the mountains 🌸; summer enjoys the coolness of summer 💦 (the waterfall stream is super healing); autumn sees the forest in the forest 🍁 (the red leaves are shocking); Winter view of the snow country fairyland ❄️ (skiing in some areas). The landscape is diverse 🗻: Qifeng strange stones, sea of clouds, ancient roads, streams ... A trip, enjoy a variety of magnificent and quiet. Cultural heritage 📜: The "long vein" of Huaxia civilization, historical stories and natural scenery blend, and feel the accumulation of thousands of years between walking. 🌟 Summary: Convenient and accessible, excellent ecology, picturesque four seasons, rich landscape! Whether you are a nature lover, a hiker, or just want to find a clean place to relax, Qinling can satisfy you! Don't hesitate and plan your Qinling exploration trip! 🌲✨

The scenery is beautiful, the train is very pleasant, the cows and horses are grazing leisurely, the blue sky and white clouds are in the forest and the lawn, the air is very good, the train is closed at 16:30 on weekdays, and it is delayed to 18:30 during the National Day. When there are many people, the scenic area also arranges a bus to replace the train. The order of getting on and off is very good. The big sister who bought the ticket was very friendly. Thumbs up
Alpine pastures are very different from grasslands, and first-timers to Wulong might find them a bit disorienting. Driving to Fairy Mountain is highly recommended for its convenience. If traveling by public transportation, first take the high-speed rail to Wulong South Station, then take the blue bus to Fairy Town (also known as the Fairy Mountain Visitor Center). Eat and stay nearby, then take the bus from the Visitor Center to Fairy Mountain. Since the Forest Eye is located outside of Fairy Mountain, you can first visit the Fairy Mountain Sightseeing Station, explore the grasslands and the most beautiful highway, and then take the scenic area transfer bus to the Forest Eye.

The Wuxia·Goddess Scenic Area is located in the Wuxia section in the heart of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It is famous for its stunning scenery of "clear water in the river, green mountains on both sides, red leaves in the Three Gorges, and clouds and rain in all seasons". Visitors can appreciate such spectacular sights as "Strange Mountains and Waters", "Clouds and Rain in Wushan", "Red Leaves on the River and Mountains", and "Goddess in Dreams".
The overall scenic area of the Goddess Sky Road is very beautiful, demonstrating that the Three Gorges are best seen in Wushan. After the bus tour, we took the cable car, which was a bit of a rip-off. The signage to the scenic spots wasn't clear after getting off the cable car, and the combined ticket was unnecessary. The bus tour alone would have been more convenient; it's cheaper and offers more views.

The kids had a lot of fun. The ticket included the Little Three Gorges and the Small Three Gorges. Although there were a lot of sales pitches, they were not forced and I felt it was okay. The only difference was that the canyon was not as steep after the water level rose, and the viewing experience was lower. There is no need to rush to the second floor. You can go to the first floor platform later. You can see the front and it may be better.
