Photos of Changqing Nature Reserve

Changqing Nature Reserve is located in the north of Yangxian County, Hanzhong City, on the southern slope of the middle Qinling Mountains. There are more than 30 kinds of key protected wild animals, including the precious "four national treasures" - giant panda, golden monkey, takin and crested ibis. At present, the reserve has opened three scenic spots, Yangjiagou, Xanthium and Shanwang Temple. There are dense forests in the reserve, which is a natural oxygen bar and a good place to escape the heat in summer. The protected area is relatively far from the urban area of Hanzhong, about 140 kilometers. Even if you take a bus from Hanzhong to Huayang Town first, you need to spend hundreds of yuan to charter a car to reach the protected area. The tourists who come here are mainly field photographers or lovers of flora and fauna, and there are not many ordinary tourists. There are no off-road vehicles provided for tourists in the reserve, which is convenient for tourists to play in the reserve, and the cost is about 200-300 yuan per day. When tourists come here, they can see crested ibis flying with their wings near the guest house of Huayang Protection Station; in the Xanth'er Cliff scenic area in the reserve: there are Heilongtan, Canglongtan, Xanth'er Cliff, Shanshuping, Shimen Waterfall, etc. In the landscape, it is even possible to see wild giant pandas, as well as various wild animals such as takins. The Baiyang Scenic Area in the reserve is now an important habitat for giant pandas, and it is also possible to watch wild giant pandas. In Huayang Ancient Town next to the reserve, the ancient stone slab streets, ancient opera buildings, bamboo forests, small bridges, green tile houses and other buildings are very characteristic of southern Shaanxi. There is also the headquarters of the 25th Army of the Red Army. Relics of the Long March period.
