Climbing to the peak of Qinling Mountains, starting a new camping experience

Recently, Xi'an has entered sauna mode, with air conditioning and watermelons becoming standard. But the breeze and beautiful scenery in the mountains are more desirable. This week we went to Shaohua Mountain, which is an hour's drive from Xi'an. Compared to the steepness of Huashan, I prefer the calm and tranquil temperament of Shaohua Mountain. The entire climb is relatively easy, and you can choose the cable car 🚡/ shuttle bus 🚗. ▫️ Playing in Shimen Gorge ▫️ Fun watermelon eating contest ▫️ Ascending Shaohua Mountain by cableway ▫️ Excellent view at Canglong Yunhai Square ▫️ Thrilling Panlong Plank Road ▫️ Walking in the clouds at Longshou Pavilion After reaching the top, we found the blue sky and white clouds within reach, with a panoramic view of the rolling mountains. The 7th Alpine Starry Sky Camping Festival is being held at the top. With the starry sky as the curtain and tents as the camp, enjoy the sunset and starry sky 🌃. The atmosphere at the live music concert 🎼 and open-air movie 🎞️ is fantastic. I really like this pure and refreshing feeling of being in nature. Shaohua Mountain is a treasure trove for escaping the summer heat. I stand by Shaohua Mountain for this wave!

Shaohua Mountain Forest Park

Shaohua Mountain National Forest Park is located about 5 kilometers southeast of Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province, at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, with a total area of about 6300 hectares. The altitude ranges from 600 to 2000 meters, and it is composed of five major scenic spots: Qianlong Temple, Shaohua Peak, Hongya Lake, Shimen Gorge, and Dense Forest Valley. Shaohua Mountain is not only a famous Taoist mountain in China, but also a sister mountain of Xiyue Huashan. Because it is connected to Xiyue Huashan and faces each other from a distance, it is called 'Erhua', but it is lower than Huashan, so it is named Shaohua Mountain, also known as Xiaohua Mountain. Shaohua Mountain has a long history, and there are related records in the 'Shan Hai Jing' formed during the Warring States Period. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was a tourist attraction. Scientists like Zhang Heng came here to visit and left poems and texts. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Taoist Chen Tuan also practiced here.
