Live Your Best Lives
Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area is located in Taibai County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, southwest of Taibai Mountain, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains.
The Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area is divided into two scenic areas: Dajiangou and the primeval forest. Dajiangou is mainly for viewing the flowing water and mountains, while the primeval forest can lead to the old county seat of Zhouzhi through the Titang Ancient Road via Zhenzhutan.
It is one of the most pristine ecological areas in the Qinling Mountains and is known as the "natural oxygen bar" and the "Jiuzhaigou of the Qinling Mountains".
The mountains here are layered and undulating. Clouds drift around them, and the mountains embrace the clouds in a surprising way. The magical Taibai ink painting, the iron wall, and the three-wall mountain rise from the ground and pierce the sky.
The rocks here are a dazzling array of shapes and colors. Water stains the rocks, while the rocks emerge from the water, creating a vibrant ecosystem. Watch the flowing water and the natural wonders of the rocks, a magical spectacle! Near the colorful stones, savor the mystical wonders of giant stones dyed seven to ten different colors.
Here, towering ancient trees, intertwined vines, and shrouded in mist create a fairyland-like atmosphere. In this natural oxygen bar, witnessing the "Three Heroes of Peach Garden," admiring "Uncle Song," and observing the "Couple Tree" will thoroughly cleanse and relax your body and mind.
In summer, it is a summer resort; in autumn, the colors of the vegetation here are divided into many layers, and the forests are dyed in all colors, like oil paintings.
