The most beautiful mountain road for self-driving and cycling around Xi'an to enjoy the scenery of the Qinling Mountains, adjacent to the Western Peak, Mount Hua

Yesterday, my family set out from Xi'an and arrived at Luofu Town in Huayin to take the National Highway 242 through the Huajin Highway. This must be the most beautiful mountain road I have seen in the Qinling Mountains; it is not an ordinary road. I used to drive to the Lantian-Lanxiao Highway towards Shangluo frequently, and I was always shocked and attracted by the magnificent scenery of the big mountains and rocks there. Coming to the Huajin Highway, I found that the magnificent scenery here far surpasses that of Lantian, and I was amazed by the beautiful scenery along the way to the point of being at a loss for words. The Huajin Highway is about 12 kilometers away from the Huashan Scenic Area, and we started to enter the mountain from the road leading to the Huashan West Peak cableway. Because it is adjacent to the Western Peak, Mount Hua, the shape and posture of the mountains on both sides of this mountain road are almost similar to those of Mount Hua. The large rocky mountains are as solid as boulders. Huge intact granite rock bodies, which have been upwelled from the deep crustal granitic magma and condensed, stand tall and are very shocking, making it hard to take it all in. The Huajin Highway is about 31 kilometers long, and its endpoint is at the junction of Weinan and Shangluo City. The road is rugged with many bends, and since it is built deep in the mountains, it is a real test of driving skills. As there are several ore factories along the route, and many freight trucks pass by, it is not recommended for tourists without rich driving experience to go there. After completing the Huajin Highway and taking in the beauty of the Qinling Mountains, we went to play in Luonan County. The day's itinerary was packed and very fulfilling.
