The Mount Taibai National Forest Park

7.1
4.5/5
3.8k reviews
The Mount Taibai National Forest Park is located on the northern slope of Mount Taibai, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains. Within the park, Baxian Terrace stands at an elevation of over 3,700 m, towering above all other peaks in the Qinling range. The dramatic vertical drop creates distinct layers of vegetation and climate zones as altitude increases—while the plains below swelter in midsummer heat, higher elevations bring a penetrating chill. In ancient times, the frigid summit retained snow even in June, earning "Taibai snow in June" a place among the eight scenic views of Guanzhong. Though snow in June is now rare, the alpine region still preserves Quaternary glacial relics such as cirque lakes and stone seas, offering a rare view of high-altitude landforms. Most 1-day tours turn back at "Sky circle earth square," which sits at an elevation of over 3,500 m on the main ridge of the Qinling Mountains—the watershed dividing China's north and south. Streams north of the ridge flow into the Yellow river, while those south feed the Yangtze river. On clear days, you can overlook rolling seas of clouds. The true summit ascent to Baxian Terrace begins here. A standard hiking itinerary to the peak takes approx. two days, starting from Sky circle earth square, passing Xiaowengong Temple and Dawengong Temple to reach the alpine cirque lake Daye Hai, then making the final push to the summit, with an overnight stay at Xiaowengong Temple. The Mount Taibai National Forest Park's remote areas feature complex terrain and wildlife including large predators. Whether traveling by vehicle, cable car, or on foot, always stay on developed routes and avoid venturing off main paths. The first day of the seventh lunar month is the traditional temple fair of The Mount Taibai National Forest Park, when crowds of visitors flock to the mountain, creating a lively atmosphere and offering a great opportunity to experience mountain folk customs.Mei County · 50.7km from Taibai County

Qinling Mountains

The Qinling Mountains are a massive mountain range spanning central China, with the main body located in southern Shaanxi, stretching over 1,000 km from east to west. The northern foothills hug the Guanzhong Plain, which was formed by the alluvial deposits of theWei River, while the southern slopes gently descend into theHan Rivervalley. The ridgeline serves as the watershed between the Yellow River and Yangtze River systems and, together with the Huai River, forms the geographical boundary between northern and southern China: the north of the mountains is dry with little rain, where wheat fields connect to loess plateaus; the south is warm and humid with plenty of rain, where paddy fields and evergreen broad-leaved forests gradually unfold. The Baxiantai Summit on the main peak,Mount Taibai, has an altitude of 3,771.2 m. The high-altitude areas preserve cirques, horns, and stone seas carved by Quaternary glaciers. Along the climbing route, you can also encounter alpine lakes such asDaye Lake. Snow on the summit can last from late fall until the following midsummer, and even in July or August, you may encounter residual snow and biting mountain winds. From the foot of the mountain to the summit, vegetation changes layer by layer in the order of warm temperate, temperate, cold temperate, and frigid zones. This mountain range is also home to rare animals: giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, takins, and crested ibises all inhabit this area, and nature reserves such as Foping and Changqing protect theQinling giant panda. Famous mountains such as Mount Hua and Maiji Mountain also belong to this range. In ancient times, people chiseled plank roads such as the Baoxie Road and Chencang Road along the canyons. The "difficulty of the road to Shu is harder than ascending to heaven," as lamented by Li Bai, refers precisely to this perilous route.Taibai County · 13.5km from downtown

Climbing Mount Taibai reveals the true grandeur of the Qinling Mountains. Here lies the watershed between the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, where glaciers and rock formations have lay dormant for millennia. The mountain paths are treacherous, the weather unpredictable, but hiking along the ridge allows one to witness the layers of mountains stretching into the distance. Reaching Baixiantai is not necessary; simply standing on the main ridge of the Qinling Mountains is enough to experience the magnificence of the landscape.

The Qinling Mountains can be divided into the Qinling Mountains in a narrow sense and the Qinling Mountains in a broad sense. The Qinling Mountains in a narrow sense are limited to the mountains between the Weihe River and the Hanjiang River in the southern part of Shaanxi Province. The Qinling Mountains in a broad sense start from Kunlun in the west, pass through Longnan and southern Shaanxi in the middle, and end at the Dabie Mountains of Hubei, Henan, Anhui and Zhangbaling near Bengbu in the east. It is the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The Qinling Mountains are not only the boundary between the north and south of China, but also the dividing line of the differences in geography, climate and resources between the north and the south. Different climates, different water and soil, different social living habits such as diet, architecture and transportation, have evolved into differences in the overall customs and habits of the society over time. The Qinling Mountains are revered as the dragon vein of Chinese civilization. The main peak, Taibai Mountain, is 3771.2 meters above sea level and is located in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. The Qinling Mountains are the boundary between the Guanzhong Plain and southern Shaanxi in Shaanxi Province.

The scenic area offers a combined ticket for the primeval forest and Dajiangou, valid for two days. The primeval forest area is relatively small, and a round trip takes about an hour. Dajiangou has excellent water quality, and the rocks are colorful.

There are many hot spring pools here, you can choose any one, the water quality looks good, the temperature is about 30-40 degrees, each pool is different. The water in the fish therapy pool is a bit dirty, the fish poop is visible in the water... There is a small swimming pool here, the water is a bit shallow and the water temperature is a bit high, so it is hard to swim.

The snowy landscape of Qingfengxia Forest Park in Taibai County resembles a breathtaking winter painting, offering a dreamlike experience. The following describes its unique characteristics from various perspectives: Overall Atmosphere After the snow falls, the entire Qingfengxia Gorge is blanketed in a blanket of silver, transforming into a fairytale world. Morning mist shrouds the distant snow-capped mountains and forests, creating a hazy, almost ethereal ink painting, creating a tranquil and ethereal atmosphere that evokes a sense of wonderland. Tree Landscape Snowflakes gently blanket the branches, making each tree appear draped in a pure white veil. The evergreen pine trees are also covered in snowflakes, which fall in a gentle breeze. Branches and trunks resemble ice sculptures, each shaped in a unique pattern, shimmering in the sunlight. Mountain Trails The mountain trails are lightly dusted with fine snow, and the wooden plank roads appear to be covered with a thick blanket. Walking along the plank road, the snow in the near distance becomes clear, while the snow in the distance gradually blurs. Each step is imbued with a profound poetic quality, leaving visitors feeling as if they are "walking through a painting." Icefalls and Rime Influenced by the scenic area's unique climate, Qingfeng Gorge in winter boasts not only beautiful snowscapes but also spectacular icefalls and rime landscapes. The cascading waterfalls, frozen in the cold, create a variety of majestic icefalls, while the rime adds a unique beauty to trees like pine trees: graceful, charming, soft, translucent, and shimmering. Moments of Life In this pristine white world, there are many moving moments. Take a foraging squirrel or a couple cuddling together to enjoy the snow. They inadvertently appear in the camera, becoming the warmest winter moments and bringing life and energy to the tranquil snowscape. If you want to go to Qingfengxia Forest Park to enjoy the snow, please note that the scenic area is open from 8:30 to 18:00. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring a warm jacket, non-slip shoes, hiking poles, etc., and pay attention to travel safety.

To see the most beautiful sunrise and sunset, you must go to Dayehai! Remember to bring dry food and down jackets! It is still a bit cool on the mountain. After climbing, you can stay at the Sweeten Hot Spring Hotel. It is cost-effective, the room is large, and there is a washing machine for washing clothes. It is suitable for family travel. You can go to Feng Street for food. There are many delicious foods. If you rarely go, just order takeout🤭
