Lantian County in Xi'an is one of the birthplaces of human ancestors and one of the earliest germinating places of Chinese civilization. "The beauty of jade is blue." Lantian got its name because of Lantian jade.
The eastern part of Lantian County is the ravine area at the southern foot of Lishan Mountain, and the southern part is the extension of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. The central and western Sichuan provinces alternate with each other. The Bahe River and Chan River run through the entire territory. The diversified landforms of terraces, tableland, hills and mountains create beautiful multiple landscapes, known as the back garden of Xi'an.

It is not difficult to see from the Lantian Tourist Transportation Map that attractions are spread throughout the territory. If you want to have an in-depth tour, it is impossible to have enough holidays. We can only choose two scenic spots for the middle line of the day: Wangshun Mountain Forest Park and Yushan Blue River Scenic Area.

Xi'an-Wangshun Mountain Forest Park-Yushan Blue River Scenic Area-Xi'an, the whole journey is 156 kilometers

"The famous mountains in the world are unique and unique. Looking at the poems in the scenery and paintings. "This is the scenery of Wang Shunshan written by Ming Dynasty poet Liu Ji. Wangshun Mountain in Lantian, known as Yushan in ancient times, is located in Lanqiao Township, 20 kilometers away from Lantian County. It is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Bahe River in the north, surrounded by blue water. It is named after the burial of Wang Shundan's mother, one of the twenty-fourth filial piety in ancient China.

Wangshun Mountain is an important part of the Zhongnan Mountain World Geopark in the Qinling Mountains and a national AAAA tourist attraction. It is divided into six scenic spots and 150 scenic spots. The peak is Yuhuangding, with an altitude of 2239 meters. It is said that by climbing the Jade Emperor Top, you can look east to the Western Mountains of Huashan, the Wei River in the north, the mountains in the south, and the ancient capital Chang 'an in the west. It has both the dangers of Huashan Mountain and the beauty of Huangshan Mountain, and the reputation of Shaanxi's "Little Huangshan Mountain".

We were integrated into the atmosphere of Chinese filial piety culture while waiting in line to park our cars.

The Wangshunshan parking lot is very large and has several parking areas.

The parking lot is a long way from the mountain entrance, estimated to be several kilometers. There are shuttle buses (10 yuan/person one way) and people are also walking.

The climbing road is a well-repaired stone staircase. Those with good physical strength can climb the stairs to the highest peak. You can also choose to climb to the "Yincui Pavilion", take the cable car to the "Observation Platform", and continue to climb the top.

Enjoy the natural oxygen bar while inhaling the strong atmosphere of filial piety.

Yincuiting

We finally arrived at the "Yincuiting Cableway Ticket Office", bought a round-trip ticket (80 yuan/person), and took the cable car up to the "Observation Platform".

Overlooking the climbing trails from the cable car and the warriors climbing step by step on the trails.

Mountain views taken at different altitudes during the climb

Mountaineering trails have also become a unique landscape. Climbers must not know that they are indispensable embellishments in the beautiful scenery. Their existence gives the scenery a sense of agility.

Sitting on the cable car seems to be able to touch the rocks up close, and the clusters of small white flowers seem to be within reach.

The following two photos will make people think they are in Huangshan

This is probably the highest peak on the observation deck!

Arriving at the end of the cableway, the tall mountain peak appears low.

Standing on the observation deck and looking around at 360°, you can see the scenery when you move your eyes.

Looking from a distance, there are piles of granite rocks here, and the cone-shaped peaks outline a natural bonsai picture.

Looking closer, the distance between the stone pillars and buds should be defined as peak forests rather than peak clusters.

The rolling Qinling Mountains at your feet feel like "all the mountains are small at a glance".

Looking back on the cable car going down the mountain, I felt that we were surrounded by mountains.

After leaving Wangshun Mountain, you can go back on the way to the "Yushan Blue River Scenic Area". It is located in Lanqiaohe Village, Lanqiao Town. It is the same mountain range as Wangshun Mountain, but the climbing route is different. The ultimate summit is Yuhuangding. This mountaineering road stands tall with strange peaks, rugged rocks, deep valleys, and is quiet and beautiful. Different from Wang Shunshan, the original natural scenery hides the cultural landscapes of poets traveling to and from Yushan through the past. The scenic area is built with Wang Weiyuan, the elegant and elegant Juyi Tower, and the leisurely and pure Du Fu Tower, which is filled with a strong humanistic atmosphere.

We started our journey back at 6 p.m., and before dark, we could make up for the beautiful scenery we didn't have time to enjoy during our rush.

Such a special landform attracts many returning tourists to stop and take photos.

In one day, we climbed two mountains in two scenic spots (of course, none of them reached the top), which not only allowed people to appreciate the original natural scenery, but also enjoyed the influence of filial piety culture and the humanities of the Tang and Song Dynasties, which cleansed their hearts and washed their lungs."COVID-19 pneumonia" and "smog" have long been forgotten.
