Taibai Mountain is known as a treasure house of green plants and a natural zoo, and it is also a rare natural alpine botanical garden and zoo in the world. Taibai Mountain Forest Park also has Guiguzi Cave, which was reclaimed by Wang Chan's ancestors during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to legend, it is a place of practice for Chinese and Han Zhongli, etc. Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, rode an ox through the Qingniu Cave in the corridor to rest in Tangyu, the Tangzicheng built by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei, and Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, went to Taibai to collect herbs.
The entrance to the Forest Park is Tangyu Hot Spring, which was called "Quanfeng Tang" in the Tang Dynasty. At present, there are three springs with more than 400 tons of sunrise water and outlet water temperature of 60℃, which have certain curative effects on many diseases. For thousands of years, Red River Ya Dan, Xie Yuxiong Pass, Gu Feng Han Jing, Taochuan meander, Doumuqi Peak, Sea of Peace, Taibai Pearl and Linglong Fairy have attracted more and more tourists from home and abroad.

The wind is blowing in the clouds.
How deep is the cloud? Where does the monk lie?
It's very cold here in May.
Taibai Mountain is the main peak of Qinling Mountains in the north-south watershed of China. It is located in Meixian County, Taibai County and zhouzhi county in Shaanxi Province, 70km east of xi. Taibai Mountain is rich in geological and natural resources. As one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, "Taibai Snow" was recorded as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty in Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics: "Look at Xia Xue in winter." What is the "Taibai Snow", a scenic spot praised by literati in past dynasties?
Climbing the top of Qinling Mountain in the rain and fog
When I first heard the snow, the image that came to my mind was just a high mountain with a snowy peak. I didn't think much about it. As for the poems of ancient literati chanting snow, it seems too far away from us to ponder.
Sendai, the main peak of Taibai Mountain, is the highest point in Shaanxi Province, with an altitude of 3767.2 meters, and it is also the highest peak in the eastern half of Chinese mainland-east longitude 105. Under normal circumstances, the temperature drops 1℃ every time the altitude rises1m. Xi 'an is about 400 meters above sea level, and the temperature is about 22℃ at the end of April. It is estimated that there should be snow in Taibai Mountain above 3000 meters. Teacher Zhu Kunxian from the Geology Department of Northwest University said that the height of Taibai Mountain is still growing. This determines that Taibai Mountain has become the only place in the eastern half of China where you can experience the snow-capped mountains.
There are three routes to climb Taibai Mountain, one is from Taibai County at the western foot of Taibai Mountain; The second is to start from the backstage of zhouzhi county and climb to the top along the southern foot of Taibai Mountain. There is also a line from Tangyu in Meixian County to the northern foot of Taibai Mountain. Few people know the route to the west, and you can see the relatively primitive natural landscape, but the road is difficult to walk. A staff member of Taibai County Ecological Office said that in this season, it is snowy and cold halfway from Parrot Mouth to Taibai Mountain, because the climate in the mountains is changeable, it may snow or hail at any time, and local villagers rarely go up the mountain at this time, so it is even harder for you city people to climb. You can also climb the main peak of Taibai Mountain from the back flag of zhouzhi county. However, Houqi is located at the southern foot of Taibai Mountain, with abundant sunshine and warm climate, so it is less likely to see snow. From Tangyu, Meixian County, take the northern foot of Taibai Mountain. This route is easier to see snow and the road is relatively easy to walk.
The reporter chose to climb Taibai Mountain from Tangyu. Starting from Xi 'an, although the morning sunshine is not strong, we still feel the warmth of late spring in light clothes. However, when we arrived at Tangyu, it rained lightly and the temperature dropped to more than ten degrees Celsius. The locals say it should snow in the mountains in this weather.
Tangyu is more than 500 meters above sea level. You can take a bus from here to Xiaban Temple at an altitude of 2,800 meters, where you can take a cableway to an altitude of 3,200 meters. After that, we have to walk, pass through Shangban Temple and Baisendai, and finally reach the "Tianyuan Land" at an altitude of 35 1 1 m. There, you can feel the north-south dividing line of China and see Shaotaibai at an altitude of 3,666 meters. Due to the limited time, we plan to arrive at the "Tianyuan Land" and then return, because there is still a long way to go from there to the main peak of Taibai Mountain, and we will pass through Bingdou Lake-Daye Sea on the way. Experienced climbers say it takes at least a whole day from Xiaban Temple to Daye Sea.
The car drove up the Tangyu Valley. The higher the altitude, the heavier the rain. After about two hours' drive, the reporter arrived at Xiaban Temple. At this time, the mountain is foggy and the visibility is less than 20 meters. Chen Manliang, manager of Xiabansi service station who lives here all the year round, said that when the weather is clear, the sunshine on the mountain is very strong and dry, and when it rains, it will be very wet and foggy. "It rains lightly under the mountain, so we have heavy rain here." Before leaving, Teacher Zhu Kunxian from the Department of Geology of Northwest University told the reporter that the clouds that can generally cause rainfall are mostly concentrated at an altitude of 2,000-3,000 meters, so the mountainous area at this height has abundant rainfall and humid climate.
At present, the average temperature in Xiaban Temple is about 10℃, so it is not suitable for snow. If you go up, can you see the snow? Mr. Chen Manliang told reporters that there must have been heavy snow in Shangban Temple (about 3300 meters above sea level) in weather like today. However, where we are, the fog is so heavy that we can't see the distant mountains at all. As it's getting late, the reporter decided to stay at Xiaban Temple first and then go to Shangban Temple tomorrow morning. The night in the mountains is horribly quiet. Looking out of the window, it was completely dark. I don't know how deep the mountain is in front of me. At this point, my heart is only awe of the mountain.
