Another county in Henan goes viral, dubbed the "Little Jiuzhai" of the north

In the scorching summer, take a break from life and escape the city briefly to find your own romance and gentle breeze. On the journey, let food heal all fatigue and worries, while the cool mountain winds and the sound of waves soothe inner stress and exhaustion. Let’s fully release ourselves during the trip and enjoy the beautiful moments! Curious friends might ask, where’s the best place to escape the city in summer? Here’s a recommendation: a place known as the "Little Jiuzhai" of the north, with an average summer temperature of 20°C! This place is Lushi County, a county under the jurisdiction of Sanmenxia City in Henan Province. It borders Lingbao to the north, Luoning and Luanchuan to the east, Xixia to the south, and Luonan, Danfeng, and Shangnan counties in Shaanxi Province to the southwest. The county seat is 135 kilometers from downtown Sanmenxia. Hidden in Xihuling Village, Shuanglongwan Town of Lushi County, the Shuanglongwan Scenic Area is hailed as the "Little Jiuzhai" of the north, with an average summer temperature of 20°C! The scenic area is about 40 kilometers from Lushi County, covering a total area of approximately 50 square kilometers. It gets its name from the two peaks, Dalongtou (Big Dragon Head) and Xiaolongtou (Little Dragon Head), that stand tall here. A clear Luo River meanders through the scenic area in an "S" shape, with the mountains, trees, blue water, and sky on both banks painting a breathtaking landscape.
