Ankang Happy Two-Day Tour

? Two days before May Day, I had lunch and took a walk. I picked up the phone and discussed holiday travel with a few friends. After a while, nine people agreed to travel. In the evening, we held a WeChat video conference call to discuss the travel location, and finally decided to go to Ankangying. The lake is the main destination, a two-day self-driving tour, driven by Lao Feng and Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao planned the strategy and set off on time at 6:30 in the morning on May 2nd. Unfortunately, my wife was sent to work in a hotel for a month and could not go together. Okay, besides, it’s a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Liu couldn’t go. The trip that we just wanted to go is about to begin.

? On May 2nd, at a little after 6 o'clock in the morning, Lao Zhao drove almost to the door. Before 6:30, everyone arrived at the meeting point. From Weiqu Aerospace to Baomao Expressway, it started relatively early in the morning and the road was smooth. , arrived at Ankang Hanjiang Park at around ten o'clock. Everyone stopped to visit the park. The park is built along the river and is very beautiful. The green river water is crystal clear and there is a bridge flying east and west in the distance. The park is not big but has lush vegetation, fresh air and charming environment. Everyone wanted to play more, but due to other attraction arrangements, we could only stop for a while and immediately set off for the nearby "Xiangxi Cave". Traveling on May Day was crowded everywhere, the "Xiangxi Cave" scenic spot was full, and the entrance was blocked, so we had no choice but to go to the next scenic spot, Ying. In the Lake Scenic Area, the car drove slowly to the scenic spot two kilometers away. It couldn't walk any further and had to turn around and go to a nearby gas station to refuel, and then discuss what to do next? After discussion, we decided to retreat to Xunyang to visit "Shu River Ancient Town" and "Tai Chi City", and stay in Xunyang City in the evening. We will go back to visit Yinghu Lake tomorrow. After an hour and a half of driving, we arrived at Shuhe Ancient Town. It is built along the river, with beautiful scenery, green river water, and beautiful roads. Along the shore, there are many worrying small farmhouses. Many cement pillars came out of the river and were built on top. There are several small buildings in a row, forming a row of beautiful buildings. It is not easy and can be called a spectacle. The road near the scenic spot was narrow and the traffic flow was slow. I finally parked the car and walked around the ancient town. Although the streets are not big, they are very unique. The mountains and rivers are beautiful and antique. The houses are built higher than the other. Maybe it is because of the rising floods. Entering from the south gate of the ancient town, there are many well-preserved buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are majestic and high-end. The houses are very close to each other and well-proportioned. The streets are very narrow. They are built along the mountains. They are exquisite. I can’t help but sigh. With the wisdom and craftsmanship of our ancestors, many walls and roofs are made of stone flakes. There is also an exquisite mosque on the mountainside. It has a long history and a high-end atmosphere. We walked around the ancient town and took a lot of photos and TikToks. We had a great time. , after completing the transfer at about six o'clock, we drove to Xunyang City for accommodation. At this time, everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten a big thing, they forgot to book accommodation. It was just dark in Xunyang, and four or five mobile phone calls to book a hotel found nothing. Today I might have to spend the evening in the car. I was going to Tai Chi City in the evening and took a dip in it. We divided our forces into several groups and carefully searched for small hotels in remote streets. After searching for nearly two hours, we finally found a small hotel with a big house and two small houses. The conditions were very poor, and we had no choice but to make do with it for one night. Tomorrow morning we will visit Tai Chi City, the busy day is over!

? Get up at six o'clock in the morning on the 3rd, have some breakfast, and arrive at the Tai Chi City Scenic Area at seven o'clock to start the tour. Here, you can see the beautiful naturally formed Tai Chi shape from a high place. Several well-proportioned squares have been built here. Exquisite sculptures and caves. Everyone feels that it is very worthwhile to come here today. Although it is a free scenic spot, it is worth the trip. Unfortunately, we cannot stay too long because the second scenic spot today is the Yinghu Lake Scenic Area. I am afraid it will be like yesterday. That was in vain, so I drove to Yinghu Lake Scenic Area after only playing for an hour.

After driving for an hour and a half, we arrived about two kilometers near the Yinghu Scenic Area. There was a long queue of cars. After nearly an hour of slowly moving forward, we finally entered the scenic area. A friend sent us the parking location and we turned on our mobile phones. The navigation started to climb the mountain along the path. It was strange that the navigation failed when we arrived nearby and said that there were still three kilometers left, and asked us to turn left to cross the bridge. It turned out that there was a bridge a few hundred meters below us. We might just go around the bridge and get there. Could it be that the car We can fly down the cliff, but the navigation is nonsense. We thought carefully about the reason. It turns out that the navigation may not be able to judge the unknown winding mountain road, and it may not accurately judge the height. We can only park randomly and cannot find the parking spot of the other party. At around ten o'clock, a few of us gathered at the visitor center to buy tickets and boat tickets to visit the beautiful Yinghu Lake. Tickets here are 70 and boat tickets are 40***110, which is relatively cheap. Half an hour later we got on the sightseeing boat to admire the beautiful Yinghu Lake. The weather was fine. The boat was walking on the turquoise lake. The cool breeze was blowing. The mountains surrounded by the rippling blue waves were very spectacular. Everyone took pictures on the boat, laughing and laughing, and half-consciously More than an hour later, the boat stopped at Yuxing Island. There were many bird performances on the island, many peacocks, turkeys, etc., and there were many stalls selling snacks. It was very lively. We are here The stay was a bit too long, which was a bit miscalculated because time was tight.

Then we took a boat to the second island "Jinluo Island" and arrived at the island in 20 minutes. The environment here is very beautiful, with lush vegetation, especially a very beautiful tower. We can't wait to climb the mountain. The five-story tower gives you a different feeling to enjoy the beautiful scenery all around. You can see the panoramic view of Yinghu Lake from a high place. It is so beautiful, like a beautiful landscape painting, with green water, beautiful mountains, speedboats and cruise ships running on the water, and exquisite buildings. There were so many tourists here, it was so beautiful. Everyone took photos and videos. I didn’t want to come down, but there were too many people and I couldn’t stay too long. When I came down, there were a few young people talking about musical instruments and singing. They were very professional and very nice. I thought Listen to more, but time is very tight, so I can only go around and queue up to board the boat.

Then we went to the third island "Cuiping Island". There were too many people queuing to board the boat. We waited in line for more than half an hour to get on the boat, and it took about half an hour to reach Cuiping Island. This island is the largest and very beautiful. It originally took at least an hour to complete the tour, but time did not allow and because there were too many people queuing to board the boat, we waited for more than ten minutes before hurriedly queuing up to board the boat. There were almost no people on Cuiping Island. visit. After queuing for about 40 minutes, we finally got on the return boat. It took about an hour to get to the shore. Looking back at the beautiful Cuiping Island was a bit regretful, but this was the only way. I would come back next time if I had a chance, but I definitely couldn't It's a public holiday and there are too many people so it's hard to go shopping. We went ashore after swimming around Yinghu Lake at around three o'clock, and left the scenic area around four o'clock. At this time, everyone was hungry and looking for a place to eat. There is a restaurant on the road about half an hour's drive from the scenic spot called "Daguo Dazhao Fish Hot Pot". It is very delicious and of high quality and low price. The nine of us spent less than 350 yuan. The consumption here is much lower than that in Xi'an. People are also more down to earth. We drove back to Xi'an around 4:30, expecting to arrive home at 8:30, but the intersection before getting on the expressway was blocked for about an hour, and we drove slowly in the longest tunnel of the Baomao Expressway for nearly an hour, where there was a five-car collision. .

Finally, I returned home at 10:30, nearly two hours later than expected. This is the end of my happy two-day trip. Thank you all for traveling along the way. Life is happier because of you. Happy May Day!
