"Cool world-Zhuque National Forest Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Xi'an Off The Beaten Path Tip by jasmine_ding

I spent my last day of 2007 in a uncommon way,. Climbing a mountain in a chilly winter day. It’s a forest park in Qinlin Mountains, 74 km west of Xi’an. The space of the park is over 2600 ha. Based on different views, the park is made of five areas, including 3100 meter height peak, pastures, waterfalls, streams and red birch woods. It’s better to visit the park in spring, summer and fall. It’s one of the most popular resorts around Xi’an, because it’s much cooler and quiet. People can stay in the park and search every spot in 2 days.

Though it’s not a good season to visit the park, I enjoyed the views I saw, blue sky, frozen waterfalls, snow covered paths and flying hawks.

Anytime, the temperature here is at least 5 degrees lower than of Xi’an. So, bringing an extra coat and a pot of hot coffee are good idea, otherwise you’ll catch a cold like me did.
