Lu Jiuzhai is a 4A national scenic spot, located in Ma Xie Town, Baokang County, Hubei Province. Surrounded by cliffs, there are mountains and valleys, towering peaks and streams. Because of the mountains and valleys, it is inaccessible, and only nine rugged paths meander in and out of the village. It still maintains its original style, but it is a pity that such a good place is kept in a boudoir, and even many Xiangyang people don't know where Lu Jiuzhaizi is.
The route of this trip is the gate of Lujiuzhaizi Scenic Area-Chuwangfeng-Huanglongdong-Yingkesong Observation Deck-Cableway Observation Deck-Glass Trestle-Elephant Trunk Peak.
Not far from the entrance of the scenic spot, you come to a viewing platform, and the overwhelming momentum of the canyon is breathtaking and exciting. Clouds and mist are lingering, and there is quite a sense of sea of clouds. It is a typical karst landform. This is a humanoid dangerous peak in armor, which is the famous Chu Wangfeng.
A cave suddenly appeared at the bottom of the cliff. On the cave, Gu Teng entangled with each other and hung at the mouth of the cave. The mountain springs flowing out of the cave spread out on the stone wall outside the cave, forming a waterfall. This is Huanglong Cave.
Huanglong Cave is deep and treacherous, with the impact of underground rivers and the sound of flowing water. It was named after the legend that Huanglong lived here. Hidden rivers, green springs, strange stalactites, and elements worth visiting in a cave are all in Huanglong Cave.
At the bottom is a long and deep ditch, which is only the result of being washed away by water for thousands of years. There are stalactites on the cave wall, but there are not many, and no caves can be seen. I always thought it was almost the same to see caves, but to my surprise, the ground in Huanglong Cave was covered with water eroded stone landforms, which I had never seen in other caves.
It takes about 45 minutes to walk one way, and many places need to bend over to pass. Wonders, underground rivers, stalactites in caves. It's very shocking inside, and the underground river below is surging, which feels like a deafening underground river roaring past! This is a very shocking shock!
On the way to Dayakou observation deck, slow down, the crystal clear stream, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy a rare leisure in the nature of green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers.
In fact, the reception desk of the whole scenic spot, including the parking lot, the cabin, the gate and the observation deck of Dayakou, is located on the flat ground at the top of the east side of the Lujiazhai Grand Canyon, and the observation deck above the canyon allows you to have a panoramic view of the canyon below.
Lu Jiuzhai Peak is quiet and sparsely populated. I think the most commendable thing is that it is a place that still maintains its original state. In the first half of the plank road, there is basically no fluctuation in altitude. There are many kinds of trees here, and there should be quite a lot of negative ions in the air.
From the plank road on the mountain, you can clearly see the cableway from Xialianghekou to Dalingtou, and the first cable bridge in Asia, which is 220 meters long above another canyon and goes straight to Elephant Trunk Mountain.
Standing under the red iron chain bridge and looking at the water in the valley, you can feel the majesty of cliffs, the momentum of waterfalls and the grandeur of canyons.
Here you can also live in a wooden house in the valley, which is probably the case when you hide in the mountains. The seven wooden villas hidden in the forest are all made of southern pine imported from abroad and treated with antiseptic. The appearance of mahogany is white, which is particularly conspicuous and blends in with the mountains.
Wooden villa * * * 17 room, simple solid wood furniture, glass viewing window, viewing platform, it is easy to calm down.
Of course, you can still live in a wooden villa in a daze, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, without thinking about anything disturbing, listening to birds singing in the branches, watching clouds rolling in the sky, taking off your mask and breathing the intoxicating air here. Shouldn't life be like this?
If you want to camp and watch the stars, there are tent bases to choose from. At night, you can see the stars and the moon at your fingertips. Having experienced in such an environment, I don't want to leave. The scenic spots in Lujiuzhaizi have a little natural and quiet beauty, which is in harmony with the surrounding villages and is not commercialized. It is more like a beautiful hidden place for private enjoyment.
