2024.4.10 Partly Cloudy Lanzhou to Shangluo 6 days 5 nights self-driving tour Day 4 Early 8 am Shanyang Toll Station→Jinsixia Scenic Area (57.95 yuan)→Ludumen→Shangkeyoupin Hotel (Jinsixia Scenic Area store 150 yuan) Jinsixia is located in the hinterland of Xinkailing in the southeastern part of Shangnan County, Shangluo, Shaanxi. It is 18 kilometers away from Jinsixia Town and is a rare and most complete 5A-level tourist scenic area with a gorge geological structure in the Qinling area. 1. Sightseeing Tickets 100*2 It is recommended to enter the park from Ludumen, and first visit Bailongxia along the stream. There are Monkey Mountain, One Line Sky, Mapao Spring, Stone-Born Trees... The stream is clear and elegant, and there are waterfalls on both sides of the canyon. The scenery is magnificent. Entering Heilongxia feels steep, the canyon is narrow and long, and the pool water is deep. Waterfalls flow out from the strange rocks and cliffs one after another, which can be called a waterfall canyon. The unpredictable journey makes people linger and forget to return, and finally reach Liyuanmen along the stream. At this time, everyone can choose to take the scenic spot bus back to the parking lot or return along the stream. The weather in the mountain canyons is unpredictable, so it is recommended to bring rain gear. Along the way, you can also take a cable car or walk up to Shimenzhai to see the high mountain scenery different from the canyon. 2. Food There are many snack shops in the scenic area. I had two bowls of noodles for 30 yuan, which is a bit expensive but tastes good. There are rest stone benches and loungers (very considerate for the elderly and children) along the way, and you can bring your own food to replenish energy. 3. Jinsixia Town The town is not big and has hotels, restaurants, and a tourist center. The food here is large in quantity and strong in flavor, and the service is very enthusiastic. Staying at Shangkeyoupin Hotel is clean and hygienic and feels comfortable.
