Jue, namely: tiangongshi, dimufeng, fir king, wanshougui and huazhongkui. Some vines are still green, green in the fog and rain. Along the way, in the white oak forest, I saw bony keel wood, chicken bone wood, wild cherry, hawthorn, wild prickly ash, crabapple and other large and small trees, as well as some valuable trees such as Bauhinia, Acer truncatum and Shuiqing. Near the stone forest, a clump of tall five pointed Maple stands on a bright stone. There is almost no soil at the foot. The base circumference is about four or five meters. The root is in the gap of the cliff, but the trunk is like a rolling dragon holding a pillar. On the whole, it has a huge momentum, with branches growing in clouds and leaves shooting in the sky. When you enter the mountain landscape area and walk on the ridge of the beam, there are wonderful bonsai gardens on both sides. The continuous mountain trees are not growing high, but growing in various bonsai shapes. You can look at any one carefully, it's like artificial production. Even the occasional rock pines on the side slopes are bald, with no branches on one side and branches on the other side drifting far away, as if they were reaching out to welcome guests. Far away from the mountain red birch forest in the fog is just a grain of red clouds, close to a point, in the rain bright red.

Traffic information

Niubeiliang National Forest Park in Shaanxi Province is located in Zhashui County at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. It is a tushishan county with "nine mountains, half water and half farmland". It has rich tourism resources. Among them, Qianyou River Baili ecological landscape belt, Fenghuang ancient town, Zhashui karst cave and niujibei National Forest Park have attracted more and more tourists. But for a long time, the traffic inconvenience has seriously restricted the development of Zhashui. Originally, the road between Xi'an and Zhashui was built by winding mountains. It had to cross two mountains in Qinling Mountains. The total journey was 146 kilometers, and it took three or four hours at the fastest. If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow in winter, the road will be completely paralyzed. Although Zhashui County is rich in tourism resources, the backward road traffic hinders the entry of tourists, which is not only not conducive to the development of tourism, but also restricts the timely export of agricultural and sideline products.

The xi'an-zhashui section of XI'AN-ANKANG Expressway starts from the Yanta interchange in the south section of Xi'an Ring Road, and goes south to Zhashui Yingpan Town through taiyigong, Wutai Township, Shibianyu Township and Qinling Zhongnanshan Super Long Tunnel. The length of the route is 43.82 km, and the Weiqu connecting line is 6 km. The starting point of this section is 18.7 km from Yanta interchange to taiyigong interchange, with subgrade width of 26 m and design speed of 100 km / h; 25.12 km to the south of taiyigong interchange, with subgrade width of 24.5 m and design speed of 80 km / h; the connecting line is from the intersection of Wei (Qu) Ming (DU) highway to Yan (TA) and Yin (Zhen) highway, with design standard of class II Highway and subgrade width of 17 M. There are 5 large and medium bridges and 11 tunnels in the whole line. The connection of xi'an-zhashui Expressway shortens the driving distance from Xi'an to Zhashui to 64 kilometers, and the driving time only takes more than half an hour.

1. Route: take the bus in the direction of Zhashui at the South passenger station of Xi'an city. The early bus is 6:00 a.m. every 20 minutes. The ticket price is 28 yuan. After arriving at the bus station of Zhashui County, transfer to the bus from Zhashui to Niubeiliang National Forest Park. The ticket price is 9 yuan.

2. Self driving route: (Xi'an direction) from Xi'an on the ring expressway, through Bao Mao (Xikang) Expressway, through Qinling Zhongnanshan tunnel to Ying
