It boasts unique natural scenery and is called the 'Little Huangshan of Shaanxi,' combining the peril of Huashan and the beauty of Huangshan. The forest has 870 species of plants, along with ancient temple ruins and over 180 cliff carvings. Peculiar pines, strange rocks, streams, and waterfalls are everywhere, making it an important part of the Qinling Zhongnanshan World Geopark.
Every year from late April to early May, the white azaleas and alpine rhododendrons bloom in full splendor, creating a breathtaking view.
3. Celebrity Praise
Du Fu once praised it in his poem: 'Lan Pass falls from a thousand streams, Jade Mountain stands tall with two cold peaks'; Han Yu wrote: 'Clouds cross Qinling, where is my home? Snow blocks Lan Pass, the horse cannot move forward'; Liu Ji admired: 'Among the famous mountains, this one stands out, the scenery in sight is like a painting and poetry.'
4. Travel Experience
The area is lush and cool, with forests as far as the eye can see, resembling a twilight city. The peaks are towering, the valleys are deep, and the forest vegetation is well-preserved, with green waves flowing through the mountains. It is suitable for a day trip to breathe in the natural forest oxygen. However, there are some drawbacks during the visit. Although it is cool and comfortable to stop and go, the endless small steps can be exhausting to climb.
