Longnan tourist route

Opening a beautiful go on road trip from Xi 'an to Longnan is an unforgettable memory. As the core area of ancient civilization, Xi 'an to Longnan has a lot of historical sites and natural scenic spots, which are very popular among tourists.

First stop: Maijishan Grottoes

"Maijishan is named because the overall shape of the mountain is like a pile of wheat. Maijishan Grottoes were built more than 1,500 years ago, and most of them were cut on cliffs 20 to 80 meters high, overlapping each other and as dense as honeycombs. There is a plank road between the caves, and you can climb to the top of the mountain. The southwest of the mountain peak is a cliff, and the grottoes are dug on the cliff, some of which are 20 or 30 meters away from the base of the mountain, and some are 70 or 80 meters. It is rare to dig hundreds of caves and Buddha statues on such a steep cliff in China. "

Maiji Shan Caves

The grottoes are really shocking as a whole. From a distance, there is only one mountain standing there. From a close look, there are grottoes of all sizes. The grottoes are preserved as a whole, but many small sculptures are mottled and many colors have faded. In order to facilitate tourists to visit the scenic spot, many plank roads have been built around the mountain, which is also a landscape from a distance. According to personal hobbies, the tour time of this scenic spot is about 2 hours.

Second stop: Xianrenya

Driving from the grottoes to Xianrenya Scenic Area is fast and not far away. Because there are not many cars in the afternoon, the road is easy to walk. The scenic spots of Xianren Cliff are more scenic than mountains and rivers. It is said that "this is a scenic spot where Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism coexist, and it is composed of three cliffs, five peaks and six temples." Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there have been buildings and sculptures in the past dynasties. The existing temples were built and renovated in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and some clay sculptures were works in the late Northern Wei Dynasty.

Many scenic spots in Xianrenya have corresponding cultural legends, and the mountain is not particularly steep, so it is relatively convenient to visit as a whole. The tour time is about 2-3 hours.

Accommodation and eating here, because it is a farmhouse, Tianshui cuisine may not be available, but the food in the farmhouse is also delicious. The most famous snacks are pasta, such as quack, bean jelly, cold rice noodles, serous water, sweet candied fruit, halal noodles, noodles with gravy, and stirring up the ball.

Accommodation: You can search for farmhouses in Maiji Mountain Scenic Area on Ctrip, and then determine according to your own number that the food in the Wang Family Courtyard where we live is delicious and the sanitary conditions are good.

The next day, Tianshui went to Wanxia Lake in Xihe County, 121 kilometers, and the toll was 49 yuan. It took 2 hours to visit Wanxia Lake. Because this scenic spot is a reservoir and there is a wetland park, because the scenic spot is not very famous, I stayed for a short time, so I set off for Wudu District in Longnan. After arriving at Wudu District, I first found the hotel confirmed on Ctrip, and then I had a meal and a rest, and visited Vientiane Cave in Wudu District. We stayed at the express hotel in Wudu District. There are a few points to remind everyone that when you arrive in Wudu District in July and August, the weather is very hot, and it is not cool here. It is inconvenient for the express hotel to eat regardless of catering, and it is also inconvenient for the express hotel to park.

This paper mainly introduces Vientiane Cave: Vientiane Cave is a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot located halfway up Yangpang Village on the south bank of Bailong River, 15 kilometers west of Wudu County. It is named after the cave with holes, milk stones and colorful things, just like the all-encompassing Langyuan Fairy Palace.

Cave scenery

Vientiane Cave was originally named Xianren Cave and Wuxian Cave. According to legend, five immortals lived here-hence the name. Vientiane Cave was formed thousands to 300 million years ago, which is a typical karst landform. The cave is unfathomable and is the largest underground natural art palace developed in China at present. Natural landscapes such as stone milk, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone curtains and stone flowers are varied. Of the 11 scenic spots that have been developed, more than 120 large landscapes are arranged into three caves according to the image: the Moon Palace, the Tiangong and the Dragon Palace. When you step into the cave, you will feel different, such as entering a fairyland. From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the present, ink marks and stone tablets left by celebrities in past dynasties can be seen everywhere, with more than 100 pieces and 768 poems inscribed. Especially in the Republic of China, Gao Yihan, the procurator of Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai, wrote "There is a cave in another place" in the cave and Zhao Puchu wrote "Vientiane Cave" which attracted the most attention. There is a Panshan Highway connecting Wudu County and Vientiane Dongkou.

Tourists have traveled 4.5 kilometers to visit 11 scenic spots and more than 120 scenic spots in Vientiane Cave, which is only half of Vientiane Cave. How long the Vientiane Cave is, no one has come to an end so far. According to legend, there are exuberant travelers who used to carry luggage and dry food and stay in the fairy bed. The next day, they climbed the "ladder", crossed the "dangerous road", walked 5 kilometers, traveled all over the caves, enjoyed the scenery, and reached the wooden bridge, where they could hear the sound of chickens and dogs in Wenxian County. Therefore, there is a local saying that "Vientiane Cave is like the whole mountain".

On the third day, after getting up in the morning, I had breakfast at the food stall in Wudu District, and went straight from the county seat to Qianba Ranch, which is a primitive and natural pasture. Locals go to many scenic spots that outsiders don't necessarily know. Along the way, there are many bends, and it feels like going straight into the sky. As the road continues to rise, the scenery will become more and more beautiful. I feel that people are in the middle of the cloud, painting around them, and the temperature is also rising from low altitude to high altitude. After the tour, go straight to Guan 'egou, Tanchang County, with a total speed of 114 kilometers and a toll of 1 hour and 43 minutes in 58 yuan. In the evening, I live in Guanegou Scenic Area in Dangchang County. After having lunch in the farmhouse, I visit Guanegou in the afternoon. The farmhouse here is very cool, without air conditioning at night, and the temperature is really low. When staying in Guan 'egou, there is a delicious food worth recommending. It's cooked very well and authentic. You can determine how much you want according to your own number. With this dish, you don't need to order anything else at all. It's very affordable.

The territory is famous for its eight dams, eight pits, three flats, six caves and two ponds. There are 28 springs, which flow all the year round. The water in the pool is evenly distributed, especially in Xiangshuiping, where the water source is more abundant and the water quality is clear and transparent. It is known for its clear appearance and refreshing heart.

Here, green grass and horses run happily, forming a beautiful and unique landscape.

Guan 'egou: The level is like a mirror, the dark green is about to drip, the mountains and rivers are the same color, and the scenery is everywhere, which is dizzying.

Guan 'egou Scenic Area is called "Little Jiuzhaigou" because of its high forest coverage, beautiful ecological environment, peculiar natural landscape and diverse distribution of animals and plants.

Tourism resources are a combination of natural and human landscapes such as forest landscape, grassland landscape, landform landscape, water landscape and astronomical landscape, which has both the water beauty of Jiuzhaigou and the beauty of Huangshan and Huashan.

Address: 1 km southwest of Tanchang County, Longnan, 36 km from Hadapu Railway Station.

On the fourth day, after breakfast in the farmhouse in the morning, I set off for a tour of Goose Gully. The scenic spot here is a ticket that can be used for two days. Because the scenic spots in the two gullies are different, I can't finish the tour in one day. After the tour of Goose Gully, I set off for Tianchi, Wenxian County, which is 208 kilometers, and the toll is 4 hours and 39 minutes in 70 yuan. Besides the expressway, there are also national highways and county roads. In the evening, I stayed at Yinma Mountain Villa in Tianchi Scenic Area. The scenery here is really good. The owner of Yinma Mountain Villa is the village head, and the environment is very good. Many people come here for permanent residence in summer. When we arrived, 10 people from Sichuan have lived here for more than 30 days.

Heaven Lake

Tianchi Lake

Tianchi in Wenxian County: At present, it is under development and construction, and the cable car and Huang Lin ditch are under development. It is estimated that they will become new famous scenic spots after development.

Tianchi in Wenxian County is about 100 kilometers north of the county seat. Tianchi Lake is in the middle of Tianwei Mountain, merging into a green pond shaped like a gourd. Water and mountains, one integrated mass, picturesque, red and green, misty, water and sky are the same.

The mountains around Tianchi Lake are beautiful, the pines and cypresses are competing for glory, and the green drops are overflowing. Pipa flowers, azaleas and lilacs are all over Shan Ye, and the mountains are grotesque and the wonders are beautiful.

Address: Tianchi Township, Wenxian County, Longnan City

On the fifth day, after breakfast at the village head's house in the morning, I set out for Huixian, 265 kilometers, 4 hours and 20 minutes, and the toll was 117 yuan. Because I have to take county roads and national roads when I get out of Tianchi, I must pay attention to safety. I went to Huixian at noon, stayed at Huizhou Hotel in Huixian at night, had lunch in Huixian, and after a short rest, I went to visit Jinhui Wine Industry. Although it is a winery, it is very unusual. After the visit, I originally wanted Jinhui Mining, but I had to return because the epidemic was not received.

On the sixth day, after breakfast in Huixian, I was ready to return to Xi 'an. I got off the expressway in liangdang county, 39 kilometers, 30 minutes, and paid a toll in 32 yuan. I first visited the Liangdang mutiny memorial hall, and then went to Yunping Three Gorges. The maximum number of negative oxygen ions reached 37,000, which is a veritable natural oxygen bar. Yunping Three Gorges is located 36 kilometers southeast of Liangdang County. The three Gorges in the scenic spot are Tudi Gorge, Guanyin Gorge and Xigou Gorge, so it is called Yunping Three Gorges.

There are more than 60 scenic spots in the scenic area, with beautiful natural scenery, strange peaks, steep cliffs, withered pine hanging upside down, waterfalls turbulent, beautiful mountains and clear waters, especially the "one temple, two gates, four caves and five cliffs of the Three Gorges".

The weather was too hot, so I didn't visit many scenic spots. After having lunch at the scenic farmhouse, I ended my trip and returned to Xi 'an.

Along the way, there are a few reminders:

1. The scenery is beautiful, the scenic spots are not very famous, and there is not much traffic, so it is suitable for short-distance go on road trip.

2, not too particular about accommodation, it is recommended to live in a farmhouse, the environment, eating and sightseeing are very convenient. At present, farmhouses are very popular, and it is necessary to book in advance online, and parking is also very convenient. For example, the farmhouse in Tianchi really needs to be booked in advance because someone has lived there for a long time.

3, go on road trip, it is best to go with two or three families, so as to take care of each other. At the same time, it is recommended to bring preferential documents. The elderly over 75, police, teachers, nurses and other scenic spots are free of charge, so just bring them.

4, county roads, national roads, and mountain roads, must pay attention to safety.
