Huangzangyu National Forest Park boasts towering ancient trees, abundant negative oxygen ions, and historical sites such as Ruiyun Temple. With gently sloping trails and unique scenery throughout the seasons, it&#39;s a great weekend getaway for a breathtaking view of the surroundings.

It&#39;s less than an hour&#39;s drive from downtown Xuzhou. The scenic area&#39;s small transportation is very economical and affordable. A one-way ticket costs 7 yuan per person and takes you to the temple gate, and then you have to climb up on your own. Along the street at the East Gate, there are Huangzangyu mushroom stewed chicken on both sides, 35 yuan per catty, 55 yuan per catty. The large pot was served and I couldn&#39;t finish it all, so I took it away. I was very happy.

The environment is very good, especially the woods and shrubs, which have southern trees and a natural oxygen bar feel. Due to the season, the trees are not completely covered with green before they leave. If you come later, it may be more beautiful. Parking is better than before, not as messy as before.

In the forest park, ancient trees are towering, and the elm trees are shading the sky and stretching for thousands of miles; the linden trees are graceful, or leaning sideways, with branches and leaves waving in the wind, and the roses beside the stream are blooming, which is dazzling. If it is sunny after the rain, feeling the tranquility of nature in the forest where &quot;there is no rain on the mountain road, but the green air wets people&#39;s clothes&quot;, and enjoying the bathing in the forest will be a different state of mind.

The wild mushroom stewed chicken in Huangzangyu outside the mountain gate is famous far and wide, and it is almost the signature dish of every restaurant.

Huangzangyu has a forest coverage rate of up to 96%, with lush branches and leaves, green shade, and high negative oxygen ion content. It is known as the &quot;holy valley&quot; and &quot;natural oxygen bar&quot;.
There are two entrances to Huangzangyu, the East Gate and the North Gate. The highlights of the scenic area are all at the East Gate, and you can take the scenic area battery car (7 yuan one-way ticket) directly to the foot of the mountain Ruiyun Temple, saving 2 kilometers. The North Gate Visitor Center is newly built. To get to the core scenic area, you have to cross Dading Mountain. The road is long and difficult. There are no other attractions except the newly added glass bridge for a fee. It is not recommended to go through the North Gate except for those who want to climb the mountain.
