Cheap people in Zhouzhi County and Meixian County: This Yukou has such good water, they can easily turn slowly for a day.
No way, Xi'an to the western Yukou is indeed a little far.
But there is an opportunity I will not waste, we can't go two days a day, anyway, there is a farmhouse in it - mud yu arrangement.
Niyu is the westernmost Yukou of Zhouzhi County and the boundary between Xi'an and Baojimei County. After driving past the cement south of Niyu Village, I saw this pond, the mountains are green and green, and I liked it in my heart.
Niyu is one of the most important branch lines of the Ancient Road of Xi'an, and the plane route from Xi'an to Hanzhong still flies along the Road.
Really want to admire, there are parking spots and pavilions along the cement road in the mud valley, all of which are free parking, which is much more friendly than parking at some Yukou around Xi'an.
After entering Yukou, passing the checkpoint and Wuli Temple, Double Dragon Cave appeared in front of you.
This Double Dragon Cave becomes a popular cave every summer. It is said that in the early seventies of the last century, Zhoumei County moved mountains to repair the reservoir, and this cave was a diversion hole that was excavated artificially that year. The water of the Niyu River flows in from above and comes out from downstream after 100 meters.
At that time, the construction of the reservoir was not very successful, so the work was stopped, and the cave became a good place to cool off the summer and was named "Double Dragon Cave".
Niyu was originally called "Wei Valley", and it was falsely called "Mud Valley" during the Qing Dynasty. I wondered: where does the mud come from with such clear water?
The stream is really cold, take off your shoes and go into the water, and it will be through the bone in a while. Fortunately, there are big rocks next to it, and I walk along the stones. This water is turquoise, it looks shallow, but it is actually deep, more than two or three meters, or pay attention to safety.
Walking to the mouth of the stone cave on the opposite side, a cool breath rushed to my face, and I couldn't help but shiver, doesn't this freeze people to death?
Looking into the cave, the water is turbulent, and you can see the bright light of the water inlet. I was a little afraid, so I didn't go in, the cave was about two meters high, and the daring people got up and went in.
I like to sit at the entrance of the cave, watch the splashing water, the sound of the roaring waterfall, and then smoke a bag of cigarettes, and my heart is not like anything.
After sitting for a long time, I drove on, and looked at the entrance of the water intake, and it seemed that the water flow was not very large. I don't know why it's so big when you get to the lower stream?
There are many scenery along the way, many place names: Xiniu Ditch, Qiaoer Ditch, Backward Ditch, Fa Cai Ditch...
This Qiaoer ditch is also called a wall, which is said to be a narrow road with high wall-like mountain walls in the east and west, hence the name.
There are people in the ditch, there are crop fields in front of and behind the house, and kiwi seedlings are planted in many places, which is a big industry.
There is a farmhouse here in the back ditch, the owner is very young and enthusiastic, and the yard is very clean.
Next to the farmhouse, there is a place to play in the water, next to the small courtyard there is a mountain with a strange image, some people say it is called Beacon Mountain, and some people say it is called Horse Liang, ask the owner of the small courtyard, you see how he told you.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and here I am very amazed.
Further ahead from the small courtyard, the road suddenly narrowed. To be honest, the cement road from Yukou to here is quite wide, and it is basically not a problem for cars, and it will be troublesome to come down, so it is easy to jam traffic from here.
From Yukou into the cement road is about five kilometers, to the fortune ditch, the cement road is over, and then walk a hundred and ten meters of dirt road, the car is completely unable to drive.
Here is the Heping Inn, next to a stone monument of the ruins of the mud Yu stone gate, there is a place to eat and stay.
A large flat piece of land in front of you, the old house is hidden in the greenery, very mountainous, and there are kiwi seedlings on the flat ground outside the small courtyard.
There is such a large flat land deep in the mountains, which is rare, and it is possible to park and rest, camp and eat here.
From here, you can hike to the Immortal Tomb, Stone Gate and Eagle's Beak Stone, which takes less than 2 hours. Along the way, the grass is lush and there are many locusts.
"Zhou Zhi County Record" recorded: Zhou Zhi had a legend of "King Zhou Ji, entering the mud and chiseling the stone gate" very early.
The ruins of Niyu Shimen still exist, and only one person can pass.
Online information
If you go all the way to the southern section of Niyu, you can go to the "three counties of Zhouzhi County, Mei County and Foping County", which takes about 2-3 days to go back and forth at the peak of Jieshiling Mountain at an altitude of 2823 meters
Look at the time, we still play here with the stream, look at the mountains, today is just to explore the way.
To be honest, the landscape of the mud is good, but why is it called a "mud"?
The mountains are full of rocks, the stream is gurgling, take a handful of water, and enjoy this mountain scenery.
