On Saturday, May 23, I plan to visit Heihe Forest Park. Heihe National Forest Park is located in Zhouzhi County, the source of Heihe River, more than 140 kilometers away from Xi'an and takes more than three hours to drive. Heihe Forest Park is located on both sides of the upper reaches of the Heihe River, along the Heihe River. Many water-color scenic spots embody the characteristics of the Qinling Mountains with many types and strong momentum. It is a water landscape tourist destination in the Qinling Mountains.

I left home at around 9 a.m., took the city to the Beijing-Kunming Expressway, got off the expressway from Laoyukou, and then took the Guanzhong Ring Road. At 10:20, I arrived at Louguantai and rested in Louguantai for more than 20 minutes. Then I followed the Guanzhong Ring Road continues westward. When we arrived in Mazhao Town, we turned to the G108 National Highway and started walking into the mountains. The road conditions of National Highway G108 are okay, but there are not many cars, so it is easier to travel. I arrived at the gate of the scenic spot at around 12 o'clock. Since it was still during the epidemic period, everyone had to scan the code to register, so it took more than 20 minutes to enter.

Pass by Louguantai and check in

The newly built Louguantai Scenic Area is okay, but there are many halls inside

After entering the scenic spot, the vehicles will turn around in the mountains. The main attractions along the way generally have parking areas for you to park and have a look. We stopped in the Black Dragon Pool Scenic Area for a while, took a photo, took a short rest, and then continued to drive forward.

We haven't reached the gate of the scenic area yet. There is a rest point halfway through where we can take photos and see the scenery.

After driving for more than 10 minutes, we arrived at Yixiantian. The Yixiantian Scenic Area can go inside. After walking for a while, we returned. It only lasted for more than 20 minutes in total, and then we continued on our way.

The roads in the park are not wide, but fortunately there are not many cars and it is easier to drive. After driving for half an hour, when I was approaching Houzhenzi Town, I saw a farmhouse, so I ate oil-sprinkled noodles at the farmhouse. The amount was very large and the taste was OK. After dinner at 2:30, continue to drive in the direction of the old county town.

The scenery around the farmhouse is not bad

There is a fork road on the way, one leads to the old county seat and the other leads to the Dashugou Scenic Area. The main way to go to the Dashugou Scenic Area is to see the Juwengtan Waterfall. The journey is more than 10 minutes, but the road is very narrow and a technical level is required to meet the bus. At the end of the road, after parking the car, you need to get down and walk for a while. It is about a few hundred meters and you will reach the Juwengtan Waterfall. The waterfall is not big, so you can go back after taking a look.

Return to the fork in the road and continue to drive in the direction of the old county town. We arrived at Qinling Liang at around 3:50. Drive another 20 minutes from Qinling Liang to the old county. The old county town is a village, also known as Foyeping and Foping. It belongs to the village under the jurisdiction of Houzhenzi Town. It is a traditional Chinese village. The old county town village is the only fortress city on the thousand-year ancient road. It is surrounded by four mountains and is surrounded by a middle stream. It is known as the "Shangri-La" of northern China.

The old county mainly looks at the rural and pastoral scenery. The environment is OK. It is cooler in summer and very cold in winter. If you have enough time, you can stay for one night. We walked around for less than an hour and there was no place to rest halfway. We left around 5 o'clock. I wanted to get out of the mountain road before dark, so I drove all the way to Louguantai, took a rest there, and then returned the way I came and returned home after 8 o'clock.
