For example, these three unpopular counties have many mountains and waters, which are suitable for driving in July to escape the heat. Do you like them?
The first one: Lushi County
Lushi County is located in Sanmenxia, not to mention Lushi County, which many Henan people have never heard of, and thought it was a city in Shanxi. Lushi County is the county with the lowest population density in Henan, covering an area of 4,000 square kilometers, but its population is only 380,000, equivalent to 92 people per square kilometer. It's really vast and sparsely populated.
One of the advantages of fewer people is cleanliness. Lushi County has excellent ecology and is a good place to enjoy the scenery on vacation. There are three hills, Xiong 'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain in the territory. The forest coverage is high, the air is fresh, and the original ecological atmosphere is still maintained. 20 18 was awarded the title of "China Natural Oxygen Bar".
Yuhuangshan Forest Park is a summer resort with an average elevation of 1.570 meters. Yuhuangjian, the highest peak, is 2057 meters above sea level, with a forest coverage rate of 98%. Everywhere is dazzling green, and the mountain breeze is cool.
Lushi county is also a good place to play with water. The Grand Canyon in western Henan is a rare scenic spot in the Central Plains. There are hundreds of clear springs and waterfalls here. The pool is clear and the waterfall is cool. Being in the canyon is like coming to a cool treasure, suitable for swimming or rafting on weekends.
The second one: Xichuan County
Compared with Lushi County, Xichuan County is even more unpopular. Located at the junction of Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi provinces. It seems that the geographical location is good, but it is far from the provincial centers, so there are few tourists.
Xichuan County is named after Xishui running through the territory. The county seat was called Danyang in ancient times. Although it is located in Henan, it is one of the birthplaces of Chu culture. The territory is rich in water resources, with five major rivers, such as Danjiang, Guanhe and Qihe. Danjiang Reservoir is the largest artificial freshwater lake in Asia and an important wetland reserve in China.
Zen Valley is an underestimated scenic spot, named after a Buddhist meditation retreat in the Tang Dynasty. The scenic spot has the largest stone group in the Central Plains, with continuous streams all year round and a forest coverage rate of 85%. There is always a waterfall next to it, which is cool and pleasant.
Third: Shangcheng County
Shangcheng County is located in Xinyang City, at the southernmost tip of the province. Because it is far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, its sense of existence is not high. However, the face value of Shangcheng County is first-class in the whole province, with a rare comeliness and grace in Henan.
Shangcheng County is mountainous, with more than 300 peaks of different sizes and over 1,000 meters 16 peaks. It is also the origin of Xinyang Maojian Alpine Green Tea. The mountains are undulating, the tea fields are green and quiet, and Shangcheng County is fascinating. In 2020, it was selected as the "list of the most beautiful counties in China".
Huangbaishan National Forest Park is a summer resort comparable to Jigong Mountain, with a forest coverage rate of over 97%, an average temperature of 22 in July, dense forests in the mountains and excellent environment. The most beautiful moment in Huang Baishan is after the rain. The mountains are full of moisture and waterfalls, and clouds often appear in the mountains, just like a fairyland on earth.
The most comfortable way of life in summer is to find a summer resort, listen to birds singing, watch the sunset, eat watermelon and feel the cool life in summer. These three counties in Henan, with dense scenic spots and mountain roads extending in all directions, can fully meet your wishes.
