The dreamy landscape of Huangbaiyuan

🌟 Highlight features: Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area is located in the hinterland of the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, one of the most pristine ecological regions in the Qinling range, known as the 'natural oxygen bar' and 'Jiuzhaigou of the Qinling Mountains,' and has been awarded the title of 'Most Aspired Beautiful China Characteristic Town.' ✅ Must experience: Drive out of Taibai County town, and head southeast along the Tai (Bai) Yang (County) Highway. The mountain roads are steep and winding, and driving is a real test of skill as the road twists and turns, with the car sometimes diving into the valley and then climbing up the slopes. However, the scenery along the highway is also stunning, with mountain peaks layered upon each other, rolling hills, lush vegetation, and misty clouds, as if entering a painting. After about 70 kilometers, you will reach the Dajiangou Scenic Area. 👍 Most recommended: Huangbaiyuan mainly has two attractions, Dajiangou and the primeval forest. The primeval forest is mostly for hiking, and if you're afraid of physical exhaustion, you can choose to only visit Dajiangou. Dajiangou is mainly about water viewing, with winding streams and reflecting pools, the water is clear and blue, earning it the nickname 'Little Jiuzhaigou.' Take the sightseeing bus to the innermost spot of the scenic area, Qicaishi, get off, then go down to the river, enjoy the view and take photos along the wooden walkway, and return the same way. 🍽 Dining recommendation: After coming out of the Dajiangou Scenic Area, if you are tired and hungry, you can eat in Huangbaiyuan town, or you can drive a little further, where on the left hand side there is a PetroChina gas station, with several farmhouses nearby, built along the slope, with white walls and black tiles, and tidy courtyards. Sit down at the table in the courtyard, order some staple food according to the number of people, and try dishes like bamboo shoots stir-fried with cured meat, stir-fried chicken eggs, immortal jelly or onion with black fungus, and this meal will surely become a delight. If you need to refuel your car, the gas station is also convenient. 📍 Detailed address: Dajiangou Scenic Area, Huangbaiyuan Town, Taibai County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. 🚉 Transportation strategy: You can reach it by taking a bus from the Taibai County town bus station, or by driving along the Taiyang Highway. 🕙 Opening hours: 8:00-18:00, entry stops after 17:00 💰 Ticket price: Dajiangou ticket 30 yuan/person, tourist sightseeing car 15 yuan/person, per trip. 📝 Note tips: The roads are narrow, drive carefully , pay attention to oncoming traffic on bends, and ensure safety.
