    "We drove from Yangquan to play, the distance is relatively far, and the local navigation is off the high speed, and we need to continue to drive 60 or 70 kilometers of mountain roads. The road is relatively steep. There is a section of the Panshan Highway, and there is also a possibility of traffic jams. We are blocked on the way back. On the mountainside. Because there is a large car pulling stones in the middle, there are many, and it is also special. The dust is all over. It really doesn't look like a tourist attraction. It feels bad. After this few kilometers of industrial area, gradually enter the mountainous area, don't think you are almost to the destination, in fact, there is still a long way, the road conditions are more dangerous, driving must be cautious. Of course, the scenery in the mountain is still good, and there is a large reservoir on the way that is particularly spectacular. There are many small rafting on the way, we did not play, our goal is the first rafting in North China, continue to hurry, pass a large water world, but not too tight, not too many people, do not know whether it is fun, we only stop a little, continue to hurry. Continued to drive a few kilometers, we came to the pier (that is, the end of the rafting) everyone can save the car here, 10 yuan per car, and then need to take the local car source, 10 yuan per person. We drove to the source, parking is also 10 yuan, but after drifting, we still need to take the wet car up the mountain, find our own car to change clothes (take the shuttle bus back without spending money). Note that driving must see the archway of ~ North China's first drifting ~, which is the destination (pictured below). Next, let's talk about the strategy of playing. First of all, it is best to buy tickets online (guaranteed to be in place), cheap. It is best to bring sun protection when you come; small plastic basin (water attack weapon), water is not practical, children can bring; waterproof bag, mobile phone, car keys, etc.; Water clothes and swimming cap (the head must be all wet, anti-cold), you don't think about playing, the whole body can have a dry place. The rafting gate is 12:30 to 3:4 pm. It is best to go early, because there are many people who are interesting and attack each other. There are few people playing after 3 or 4 o'clock. It is boring. The weather in the canyon is also cold! The rafting is very happy, the road is quite long, about two hours, if you stop a little in the middle, about three hours, there are a lot of steep slopes, more exciting, if you are not in a hurry, it is best to meet with the rafting force, and you can fight water wars in the middle. The only drawback is that there is no photo in the middle of the scenic spot, the river is not too clean, not the kind of crystal clear. The overall feeling is OK, the only shortcoming is far away! ! ! Finally, I wish everyone safety and fun! ! !"

    "During the National Day, in order to avoid the peak of the flow of people, I specially chose Ningxia in northern Shaanxi to travel. It turns out that I am right, there are few people, and the scenery is beautiful. This attraction was not going to go. Looking at the evaluation, many people said that it was boring. After I went there, I found out that it was really a miracle on earth. Also called Yucha Grand Canyon, the scenery is particularly beautiful, walking is not tired, the 70-year-old people have a good time"
    Ganquan
    >100km from Yanchuan
    Highlights: Ganquan Grand Canyon is located in Ganquan County, Shaanxi Province. It is composed of Huashugou, Huabaogou, Longbagou, Mudangou, Yixiantian and other scenic spots. Among them, the scenery of Huashugou is more brilliant. Hundreds of millions of years ago, a strong earthquake separated this loess mountain into a big crack, and after hundreds of years of rain erosion, such a canyon was slowly formed. The magical geology and landforms here are known as China's "Antelope Canyon", attracting countless photographers. When you walk into this magical canyon, the straight and staggered lines pass smoothly, the light and shadow are unpredictable, and the phantom is amazing, which makes people sincerely lament the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

    "During the National Day, I chose to travel on a staggered peak. I went to northern Shaanxi with few people. I didn’t want to come to this attraction. After I came, I was on the way anyway. I found that the black was really good. Anyway, the two elderly people didn’t spend money. I spent more than 20 yuan alone. It’s good to play at will. For people in the south of the Yangtze River, there is nothing to do with water, but it is still very rare to see water with this kind of soil in northern Shaanxi."

    "Mianshan is famous for Jiezi push. Jiexiu Station takes bus 302 directly to the scenic spot. After Ctrip booked the ticket, the gate directly swiped the ID card to enter the park. At 8:30 in the morning, there is a welcome drum performance at the gate. The scenic spot is impossible to visit after a big day, and you can only choose the essence attractions. I took the Jingjiao bus directly to the innermost water Taogou attractions, took an hour and half to return to the exit. I visited the monument forest at the exit, and then spent 35 yuan on the ropeway to visit the Jiegongling Scenic Area. There are Jiezi Pui Tomb and Jiegong Temple in the scenic area. After visiting the mountain trail, I went down to visit the Qixian Valley Scenic Area. The scenic stream has a good view, but there is a section that is similar to the hanging iron ladder for outdoor exploration and The wooden bridge is a bit dangerous, and the elderly and the fear of heights think twice. After leaving Qixian Valley, take a stop-view bus to Zhengguo Temple at the station. It costs 15 yuan to take the elevator to the Zhengguo Temple on the top of the mountain. There are twelve bones and gold statues worth seeing. After visiting Zhengguo Temple, go left along the mountain trail and walk down the Yunfeng Plank Road to reach Yunfeng Temple, and visit the temples and statues of Yunfeng Temple. After coming down, take the Jingjiao bus to the Daluo Palace Scenic Area. The seven-story hall of Daluo Palace is very magnificent and magnificent. You can overlook the entire scenic area on the highest floor. Daluo Palace came out and took a stop to the last attraction Longtou Temple. Longtou Temple is relatively small. There are several large halls and statues to see. After watching here, you can take the Jingjiao bus back to the gate to end the trip. This line takes the ropeway elevator up, and the scenic spots are basically downhill to save energy, and basically the essence of the attractions are finished. I entered the scenic spot at 8:30 and came out at more than four in the afternoon."

    "Take the children to play during the summer vacation. The Hongshi Gorge in Yulin is very good. There is a big river in the middle, and there are grottos on both sides of the cliffs. There are many celebrity stone carvings. I sigh the architectural wisdom of the ancients and admire the ancient humanities."
    Yulin.Yulin City Center
    >100km from Yanchuan
    Highlights: Hongshi Gorge is located about 5 kilometers north of Yulin City. It is also called "Xiongshi Gorge" by the locals in the Yuxi River Valley at the foot of Hongshan Mountain at the mouth of the Ming Great Wall. The mountains and rivers are beautiful in the canyon, and there are many ancient temples in grottoes. The rock carvings in Hongshixia are divided into two parts: east and west. Most of them are works from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although they are not very old, there are also many famous calligraphy works. On the east cliff of Hongshi Gorge, there are more than 80 inscriptions, most of which were carved during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Zuo Zongtang's "Yuxi Resort" and Ma Zhanshan's "Huan My River and Mountain" are relatively famous; On the west cliff of Hongshi Gorge, there are about 30 inscriptions, some of which are a combination of special yin and yang inscriptions, and a Mongolian stone inscription "Tiancheng Xiongxiu", which is worth seeing. The earlier relics in Hongshi Gorge were the temples and grottoes of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but now except for the painted paintings and carvings in some of the caves, the rest no longer exist. Among the existing grottoes, the fourth and sixth caves are still worth a visit. The carvings on the tops of the fourth and sixth caves are still well preserved, and the patterns of the sixth cave also have the meaning of the Menghan family. If you come to the grotto in summer, you will feel very cool. From here, tourists can also walk to the Tianmen Gate on the top of the cliff and the Dimen Gate leading to the waterside in the canyon. Hongshi Gorge is also the filming location of the movie "Evil in the East and Poison in the West". It is suitable for visiting in the evening and dusk. At this time, the canyon under the sunset glow is very artistic. Tourists can also walk from the West Cliff to the bottom of the canyon, where the Yuxi River flows, giving this northwestern frontier a bit of the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. If you come here in summer, you can play in the water on the beach by the river.

    "Very fun experience. I thought the cliff plank road was a flat mountainside plank road, but it was very exciting to shake hands and feet and then drill the cave with a short body. It was not easy to travel for two hours. The autumn scenery of Luya Mountain is beautiful."
