Lishan Mountain is located in the south of Lintong District, Xi'an. It is named because it looks like a black horse from afar. It is also known as "Xiuling" because of the beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. Whenever the sun sets in the west, the sky is full of clouds. Cangshan Xiuling is charming and moving against the fiery red sunset. It is known as the "Evening Light of Lishan" of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong.
I have long heard that the winding road of Lishan Mountain was extremely red for a while. On an afternoon when it rained heavily and cleared up, the sky was clear and the clouds were unstained. I drove straight to Lishan Mountain to experience the eighteen bends of the mountain road, watch the "most beautiful winding road", and enjoy the "Evening Photo of Lishan Mountain".
The mountain road connects Lintong and Baqiao Hongqing Town, and passes through the two forest parks of Lishan and Hongqing. The self-driving route we chose was "Xi'an City → Qianhu Village → Hongqing → Shuiquanzi Village → Renzu Temple → Lishan Observatory → Lishan Workers' Nursing Home". There is no turning back. The most beautiful section is from the Observatory to the Workers 'Nursing Home.

Although Li Mountain is only a branch of the Qinling Mountains, it has staged countless historical stories. In ancient times, it is said that Nuwa lived on the top of Mount Li
Refining stones to mend the sky; in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, King You of Zhou fought with princes at the beacon tower of Lishan Mountain in order to impress the smile of the people; Empress Dowager Xuan Mi Bazi was buried in Lishan Mountain in a legendary manner; Qin Shihuang built his tomb at the foot of Lishan Mountain, leaving behind the world-famous Qin Terracotta Army; Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei performed a touching and criticized love story in Lishan Mountain; and the modern "Xi'an Incident" also occurred on Lishan Mountain.

This is the commanding height of the viewing and one of the best places to view the "most beautiful winding mountain road".

Standing on the observation deck and overlooking, you will have a panoramic view of Panshan Road, Observatory and Lintong Urban area.

The Shaanxi Observatory Astronomical Observatory stands tall in Fenghuang Ridge of Lishan Mountain (altitude of 1014 meters).

The winding, rugged and beautiful winding road is like a dragon, quietly winding among the mountains. The seven or eight kilometers of mountain road turns nearly 15 turns.

In history, King You of Zhou "used the beacon tower to play with princes and lose the world with a smile."

After harvesting the beautiful scenery captured from above, drive down the most beautiful section of Panshan Road, feel the excitement of the eighteen bends of the mountain road, follow the rhythm of the sunset in the west, and walk and watch, and encounter the long-awaited "Evening Light of Mount Li".

It is also one of the best viewing spots. Here you can see the most beautiful section next to the Observatory. The road twists and turns, known as the Shibaipan. There is no observation deck here. People are crowded along the road, some standing on guardrails.

Down close to the horizon, the mountain road seems to be elongated.

The sunset turned from a round wheel to a semicircle

In the end, only the sunset was left

When I went down to the foot of the mountain, I saw the "Old Mother Hall" in shadow

When the lanterns first came on, it must have been a different scene. Unfortunately, we had to turn the city and leave behind the idea of "coming again next time."
