This is an old provincial road which played an important role in the last century. From Luoyang stone pavilion to Hongyan Double Waterfalls, the scenery of ancient pavilions, bridges, roads, trees and dwellings are accompanied along the way, depicting the most beautiful picture scroll of ecological Taishun.



Along the way, there are many cultural relics and historic sites, such as Jiixang An, Luoyang stone pavilions, Xianju Bridge, etc. On the way, you can see the panting cyclists drinking a bowl of water from Grandma by the side of the road, then tidy up their mood and start again!

Now it covers an area of 20 square kilometers and has a perimeter of 45km with a length of 8.5km from the north to the south and a width of 4.5km from the west to the east.
