桐柏山淮源風景名勝區，其實是個超棒的森林公園桐柏山淮源風景名勝區位於河南省桐柏縣西南桐柏山中，為淮河的發源地，是集科普、探險、度假、休閑、遊覽功能為一體的山嶽森林旅遊公園。淮河正源：是一條陡峭、幽深的溪谷。谷內林木蔽天，澗溪交錯，怪石迭出，飛瀑絕塵，流水明潛無常，撲朔迷離，是秦漢以來淮水探源之路。太白頂：海拔1140米，豫南第一高峰。是中共鄂豫邊省委革命活動紀念地，有“大復橫雲”美景、“佛光”自然奇觀。頂上雲台禪寺是臨濟宗白雲山系祖庭，大、小淮井是淮河源泉。桃花洞：是一條奇險秀幽的峽谷。谷中有桃花溪，多桃樹，兩邊岩石壁立，大小洞穴密布，有“桃洞鋪霞”美譽。沿溪潭瀑相連，藤蘿牽綴，古松入雲，幽深莫測。

好消息！桐柏山淮源景區2018年5月19日起將向全國公安民警免門票！桐柏山淮源風景名勝區面積4924公頃，平均海拔600米，橫跨淮河及長江兩大流域。地處亞熱帶向暖溫帶過渡性氣候地帶，氣候溫暖濕潤，自然條件優越，森林覆蓋率達95%，具有完整的過渡帶森林生態系統和優美的自然環境。是國家林業局確定的林木良種、名貴蘭花的培養、繁育基地，是中原獨特的天然生物物種基因庫和自然博物館。經中國地質學院岩溶地質研究所測定，公園內負氧離子濃度高達40200個/立方厘米，是人們保健、醫療、進行空氣浴的理想之地。

風景很漂亮，還有娛樂性豐富的漢滑道，遊人不多就是蚊子很多。整個景區很大，都走下來的話一天也不夠，景區內有吃飯的賣東西的小店很不錯

Tongbai Mountain is about 20 kilometers northwest of the county town. The original Tongbaiguan, known as "Jinting Dongtian" in Taoist scriptures, is one of the seventy-two blessed places. It was built by Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist priest in the second year of Jingyun in Tang Dynasty. Zhang Ziyang (Zhang Tianshi) practiced Buddhism here during the reign of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty. There is a famous Chinese Taoist Southern Zong Zuting-Tongbai Palace on the mountain. The scenic area is divided into four distinct areas: Huaiyuan, Taohua Cave, Taibaiding Cave and Shuixian Cave. There are 118 scenic spots such as Shuixian Cave, one of the world's "36 cave days", known as Zuting Yuntai Zen Temple of Baiyun Sect of Buddhism at home and abroad, which is the main peak of Tongbai Mountain at 1140 meters above sea level. This is the center of Pangu culture in China. Pangu Mountain, Pangu Temple and so on can be seen everywhere. In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's kinship "Jintaiguan" was built, which was one of the five major Taoist concepts in the country at that time. Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang School, was here to practise truth. Temples are scattered all over the scenic area, temples are connected, and monks are all over the world. In the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chengen had worked as a county magistrate in Nanyang Xinye County, Tongbai neighbouring county, and had made immortal masterpieces here many times. The gate of the scenic spot is close to Tongbai County, the birthplace of the ancestors of humanities, the good place for leisure and vacation, and the pleasant travel of body and mind. I believe you are worthy of your trip.

淮河源頭，名頭很大，實際文化內涵少。太白頂因維修，不讓上，但是購買門票，少了一個地方，不減價，讓遊客不爽。徒步從售票處走到水簾洞，路途一個小時多，只有一個水庫靜靜地橫卧在此。水簾洞也不是非常吸引人。因為小說桐柏英雄慕名而來，小吃雙魚柳好吃，滿意而歸。

風景一般般，但是千里淮河的發源地。
