Jiutian Mountain Scenic Area lies about 8 km south of Zhashui County seat. It is a leisure resort on the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains, known mainly for its waterfalls and primeval forest. Trails following the gully lead past multi-tiered waterfalls, deep pools and unusual rock formations. Distinctive wooden cabins and farmhouse courtyards are scattered through the woods. Summers here are cool, making the area ideal for hiking, family outings and a short mountain retreat. It can be combined with Zhashui Karst Caves in a single day, and the drive from Xi'an takes about 1.5 hours. Check the official notice for tickets and opening hours, and note that boardwalks can be slippery after rain.
