Many tourists from other places envy the locals after coming to Xi'an, because it not only has a large number of historical sites, but also has beautiful scenery. Shaanxi's natural tourism resources are as exciting as the splendid civilization here. Deep in the Qinling Mountains, the back garden of Xi'an, there is a large waterfall hidden, only 30 kilometers away from the urban area of Xi'an. This is the famous Gaoguan Waterfall.

The Qinling Mountains are like a charming garden carefully carved by nature, with countless beautiful scenery inside. A mountain peak at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains has a peculiar shape, like a huge hat buckled on the ground, so it is regarded as Shimao Peak by people. The Yuhe Waterfall that flows from here is named after "Gaoguan". The Gaoguan Waterfall is more than 20 meters high and is steep vertically. The cliffs on both sides are like being cut by knives and axes. Looking up from the observation deck and looking into the distance, the waterfall in the distance is like a white dragon rushing down. Walking into the waterfall, the majestic water is deafening, and the water mist is filled with the water flowing against the rocks. Even in midsummer, you can still feel the chill here.

The water flowing from the waterfall rushes in the direction of the river until it merges into the Wei River. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, Gaoguan Valley, where Gaoguan Waterfall was located, was the main source of water supply for the capital at that time. Today's Gaoguan Valley has become narrower and narrower with the changes of time, which also makes Gaoguan Waterfall unique from other waterfalls. The Gaoguan Waterfall hides its head and tail, and the water is gathered into one stream by the rocks on the mountain. This kind of water flow is even larger. The river water flows down the stone channel and twists and turns again under the obstruction of the rocks. The laminar flow is ups and downs and surging. Surging, particularly spectacular. The river flow in Gaoguan Valley is abundant and the water quality is clear, nourishing the nearby green mountains, green trees and all living things. Among them, Gaoguan Waterfall is the most strange, beautiful, shocking and dynamic water features.

Not only is it beautiful, it is also a tourist destination that combines history, culture and natural scenery. Gaoguan Waterfall has been part of the Royal Forest Garden since the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty, it became an excellent tourist destination in the suburbs of Chang 'an. In ancient times, literati and literati preferred to come here to play and write poems. It is said that Cen Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also A "villa" in the mountains was built here to visit the mountains and rivers and retreat into nature. In memory of Cheng Hao, a four-corner pavilion "Mingdao Pavilion" was built on the cliff on the west side of the waterfall. Such a natural landscape with a strong humanistic atmosphere is rare throughout Shaanxi.

Geographically, Gaoguan Valley is the easternmost canyon in the Huyi District of Xi'an City. Gaoguan Waterfall is also one of the famous "Eight Scenes of Hu County." The deep pool formed by water under the waterfall splashed with white water under the impact of the rapids, which is like a beautiful waltz in the roar of the waterfall. Even the ancients loved the beautiful scenery. Would you choose to visit this place?
