Xiaonanhai Scenic Area

小南海风景区位于汉中市南郑县牟家坝南10公里的青石关下。崇山环抱，层峦叠嶂，峡谷交错，海水潜流，苍松翠柏，浓荫蔽空，庙在山坳之中，始建于明朝神宗万历年间四十七年（公元1619年），自然景区达10平方公里之遥。其中最耀眼的景区就是观音洞了。观音洞深隧莫测，当地人称它为黑洞子，长期以来无人能够深入。地质专家揭开了它的神秘面纱，距今一亿九千年前，小南海观音洞原是一片海洋，在漫长的岁月里由于强大的地质构造运动作用使它凸现地表，大自然的鬼斧神工创造了世间罕见的溶洞奇观。洞体由石灰岩、碳酸盐岩和白云岩等构成，地层层序及地质剖面有较高的研究价值，被誉为地下“溶岩地质博物馆”。观音洞位于南郑县小南海风景区，距中国历史文化名城汉中市35公里。到观音洞游览，看洞中奇绝仙境，浴海底灵寺佛光，与亿年地质文化对话，给人以无限的奇思遐想和无穷无尽的欢悦。每当来到这里，都会令您神注忘饥，乐不思返。

风景区分为两部分，上部分为大佛溶洞，下部分为小南海『庙宇部分』。四周青山环绕，让人流连忘返。上部分大佛溶洞，外有群佛尊像，溶洞正门端坐释迦摩尼造像，后靠汉中独有的天然溶洞，五光十色间，别有洞天。 下部分，为小南海，其中坐落千年古刹，青烟缭绕，往来游客多数属善男信女，非常清雅。

Xiaonanhai Scenic Area can be said to be a very famous tourist attraction in Hanzhong. The scenery is divided into two parts, the upper part is the Big Buddha Cave, and the lower part is the Xiaonanhai "Temple Part". Surrounded by green hills, people linger. The upper part of the big Buddha cave, there are a group of Buddha statues outside, the main entrance of the cave sits on the statue of Sakyamuni, and the back is the natural cave unique to Hanzhong, with colorful colors and no caves. The next part is Xiaonanhai, which is located in a thousand-year-old temple, surrounded by smoke. Most tourists are good men and women, very elegant. It is worth recommending (^_^)

The scenery is good, the terrain is dangerous, you can feel the magic of nature after watching! The road is higher in altitude, near the top of the mountain, the white clouds are lingering on the top, and the bottom is not seen, but the sound of the running water is noisy, there is a feeling of being in a fairyland!
