Location: Baoji, Shaanxi province. People's Park. Getting there: Take the fast train from Xi'an to Baoji south station...then take a taxi to People's park...pinyin name is Ren min gong yuan. People's Park in Baoji has stunning ancient architecture. I love the city of Baoji and this park offers views of statues, big buddha statues, pagodas and a beautiful lake. Situated near the center of the city, you can also come here and walk along the river then go to the center to eat some gan mian pi noodles. #baoji

Xi'an is obviously the most famous city in Shaanxi province, however it is also worth visiting Baoji. Getting there: a one hour fast train from Xi'an. There are some classic museums and excellent river walks. Nice pagodas to take photographs of and excellent quaint parks to wonder around. Hotel? Definitely choose Crowne Plaza. A wonderful five star hotel with stunning views. Excellent breakfast and half the price of 5 star hotels in Xi'an. #baoji #shaanxi #pagoda #xian

BaoJi Jiu Longshan Mountain. Amazing Glass bridge

Construction on Baoji Gorge began in 1958 and was finally completed in 1974. It is the largest water conservancy project in Shaanxi Province that benefits the people. It is also the largest artificial river built in Baoji City. It is the starting point of the 800-li Guanzhong Plain. The Wei River winds through the mountains and valleys of the western mountains and finally rushes out of the gorge to form the Guanzhong Plain. 🚉Transportation guide: Baoji Gorge Reservoir is easily accessible by car or public transport. To take the bus, walk 460 meters from Baoji Railway Station to Renmin Hospital Station, take Bus No. 4 for 15 stops, get off at Goujialing Station, and walk 3.1 kilometers to Baoji Gorge. Tour route: You can walk along the canyon mountain road for about an hour and a half to reach the end. Along the way, you will pass through a section of Danxia landform, which is spectacular and beautiful. Nearby accommodation: There are many agritainment businesses around the reservoir that offer unique and affordable dining options, including local specialties such as yangrou paomo (mutton soaked in steamed buns) and saozi noodles. If you want to stay overnight, there are many guesthouses nearby with reasonable prices and comfortable environments.

History buffs, this is your spot! The Nanyue King Mausoleum Museum is built directly over the tomb of the King of Nanyue, dating back over 2,000 years. What amazed me was how well-preserved everything is — from jade burial suits to delicate pottery and gold ornaments. As a traveler, I love places that give you a deep dive into ancient civilizations, and this museum does exactly that. You can even step into the original tomb chamber itself, which felt surreal knowing how ancient it is. The exhibitions are well-organized, and English explanations are available, which made the visit much more enjoyable. It’s a smaller museum, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming, but every artifact tells a story. If you want to understand Guangzhou’s role as an ancient trade hub, this place connects so many dots. Definitely worth the visit, especially for anyone who loves archaeology or ancient history.

West Lake, one of China's most iconic natural and cultural landscapes, offers picturesque views at every turn. However, the following spots are particularly well-suited for capturing classic or unique shots, catering to different times of day and photography themes: Classic Must-See Spots 1. Broken Bridge (Beishan Street) - Features: "Broken Bridge in Remnant Snow" in winter, reflections of the lake at sunrise. - Suggestions: Fewer crowds in the early morning, capture the interplay of lotuses and the bridge in summer. 2. Leifeng Pagoda (Sunset Hill) - Perspective: View Leifeng Pagoda from afar at Changqiao Park or Su Causeway, especially ideal for "Leifeng Pagoda at Sunset." - Unique Angle: Near the Red Fish Pond in Huagang Park, capturing the pagoda's reflection amidst the gardens. 3. Jixian Pavilion (Hubin No.1 Park) - Best Time: Summer evenings, when the sunset glow complements the pavilion, creating opportunities for silhouette photography. - Reminder: Expect crowds, arrive early to secure a good spot. 4. Su Causeway Spring Dawn - Classic Composition: Stand in the middle of Su Causeway, use a telephoto lens to compress the lake and distant mountains, creating a sense of symmetry. - Seasonal Highlights: Peach blossoms in spring, colorful foliage in autumn. Hidden Gems 1.

🚗 Departing from Xi'an or Baoji, the 6063 slow train or the K8205 express train are both excellent choices. In less than an hour, you can journey from the urban jungle to a poetic world of snowy mountains. The Baoji–Chengdu Railway, China's first electrified railway, once ended the millennial-old saying "Traveling to Sichuan is harder than ascending to Heaven." Now, it serves as your access pass to a snowy adventure. 🚗 The Qinling Mountains, a vast range spanning across central China, transforms into a winter kingdom with the arrival of winter. The undulating mountains and peaks are blanketed in white snow, as if the earth has donned a giant white robe. Towering trees, like loyal guardians, stretch out their silvery branches, displaying a resilient yet serene beauty amidst the cold wind. The streams in the valleys are partially frozen, their icy surfaces shimmering with a cold light, complementing the snowy landscape and creating a breathtaking natural painting.

👍🏻Recommendation reason: Family members, today I must recommend you a super mysterious place - Snow Mountain Cave! This place not only has historical heritage, but also can satisfy your desire to explore the mysteries😎. The holy land of Quanzhen Sect, it is said that Qiu Chuji once practiced here. The feeling of being able to empathize with the ancients across time and space is really amazing! There is also an abandoned "Nine-story Demon Tower". Although it is a bit eerie, this unique atmosphere makes anyone who goes there a "brave person"🤩! What’s even more amazing is that there is a huge stone elephant hidden deep inside, with its tusks wrapped with red prayer ribbons, full of piety. It feels like the gods really favor it, and everything will go smoothly🙏! 🗺Introduction to the scenic spot: The Snow Mountain Cave is a naturally formed cave, 23 meters deep and 5 meters high, with traces of years of carving clearly visible. As a holy place of Quanzhen Sect, the heavy sense of history is overwhelming. The abandoned "Nine-story Demon Tower" has added a bit of mysterious and gloomy atmosphere due to its disrepair. The huge stone elephant stands quietly in the depths of the cave like a guardian god, carrying people's good wishes🙏. 🚗 Transportation to attractions: It is very convenient to drive by yourself! Just navigate to the snow cave directly🚗. If you start from Gaoxin, it is only about 20 kilometers and it takes about 25 minutes to drive. Just step on the accelerator and you can easily reach this mysterious place😎. 🅿️About parking: You can park directly at the destination, and there is no parking fee. However, the parking lot is not very large, so it may take some effort to park if you arrive late🤔. 🗺 Tour route: Enter from the main gate, walk across a small bridge, and you will see the stone tablet. Then turn left and walk along the main road for about 200 meters. At the fork in the road, turn right and go up the stairs. Keep walking for about 15 minutes, and you will see the super shocking giant stone elephant 🎉! After seeing the stone elephants, return to the fork in the road and the temple is on the left. Then walk further back and the "Nine-story Demon Tower" is there. I am quite timid and didn’t go in to explore, but brave friends should not miss it 😜! The entire tour can be completed within an hour, and the road conditions are very friendly, so both the elderly and children can easily handle it. By the way, when we came back, we saw people barbecuing on both sides of the river. This is also a good camping site. 🍱Food recommendation: There may be some local specialty snack stalls around, such as roasted corn and roasted sweet potatoes, which are down-to-earth and delicious snacks. If you are tired of walking around, you can have a portion, which is super satisfying😋. However, the specific food depends on the stall conditions on that day. 💰Cost related: Tickets are free! free! free! I have to say it three times because it is so important. It is a low-cost and happy adventure. 📌Other tips: If you go to explore the "Nine-story Demon Tower", remember to bring a flashlight, as the light inside is not very good🔦. After camping and barbecue, be sure to take away the garbage, protect the environment, and keep the beautiful scenery. If you want to take photos, the stone elephant is a particularly good place to take photos. Remember to dress beautifully and take more photos 📷.

| Taiyang Highway. ◾️Taiyang Highway refers to the section of road from Taibai County in Baoji to Yang County in Hanzhong (shown as Taimo Road on the map). It crosses the core of the Qinling Mountains, passing through Xiaoguangzi, Daguangzi, Xiaohuashan, alpine meadows, and Dalingzi Sea of Clouds, before reaching Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area. It then passes Erlangba and follows the Xushui River down to Huayang Ancient Town in Yang County. The fall scenery along the way is beautiful. ◾️Taiyang Highway (Taibai County–Yang County) is 190 km long and is one of the most beautiful rural roads in the Qinling Mountains. It is the junction of Taibai Mountain, the highest peak in the Qinling Mountains, and Aotai Mountain, the second highest peak, and is the starting point for hikers on the Aotai Line. Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area is the core of the Qinling Mountains, with a landscape of rolling hills, northern scenery, and southern charm. We planned to travel from Fufeng County to Huangbaiyuan Town, but we could only travel part of the way. The road is complex, mostly mountainous, and quite rugged, so we couldn't drive fast. There were few cars and people along the way. ◾️We stopped along the way, by streams and in canyons, where clear water flows through the canyons, the mountains are beautiful, the water is clear, and the vegetation is rich. We breathed in the fresh air and listened to the chirping of birds. The vegetation on the mountains on both sides of the canyon looked particularly peaceful in the sunlight. As it was not yet late fall, there were no colorful forests, and the scenery was plain, so we changed our plans and returned to Taibai County to stay overnight. We turned back at 4 pm, feeling a little regretful.

| Chencang Old Street. ◾️Chencang Old Street is the new name card of ancient Chencang and the reception hall of new Baoji. Baoji was known as Chencang in ancient times and is famous for the idiom "openly repair the plank road, secretly march to Chencang." The history of Baoji can be traced back to 762 BC. Due to the auspicious event of "stone chicken crowing," Chencang was renamed Baoji. The old street is located on the southeast side of Baoji City and was first built in the Tang Dynasty. It originated from Chencang County and was an important transportation route connecting the hinterland of Qin and the Weihe River Basin. ◾️Chencang Old Street is next to the Bronze Museum. You can see Chencang Old Street in front of the museum, and you can reach it by going down the stairs. After years of baptism, this street has preserved many historical buildings and cultural relics, making it a tourist street with the theme of old street culture. The architecture of the old street is mainly in the style of the Republic of China, and it also integrates traditional architectural elements, with unique regional characteristics. There are small buildings with blue bricks and red bricks, red wooden doors and windows, and carved walls, as well as imitations of Baoji Old Railway Station, Chencang Apartment, Shanxi Guild Hall, and other buildings. Every brick and tile reveals a sense of history. ◾️Chencang Old Street covers characteristic blocks such as Baoji 1941 Republic of China Style Street, Jiuxian Jiuyuan Western Mansion Folk Custom Area, Silk Road Pearl Grand Theater, and Shigu Cultural Entertainment Square. There is also the "Shi You Ba Jiu" Food Street, which gathers famous snacks from Guanzhong and all over the country. Strolling around the old street, you can see delicious food everywhere, and you can find almost everything you can think of. There is also a teahouse at the end of the snack street where you can rest and drink tea. ◾️There are many cultural and creative shops and animation cities on the old street, and you can also see intangible cultural heritage projects such as shadow puppets and Fengxiang clay sculptures, as well as Qin opera performances... The old street pays attention to cultural inheritance and display, and presents Baoji's history and culture and folk customs to tourists in various ways. There are various specialty shops on the old street, selling local handicrafts, souvenirs, etc. You can stroll around and buy a souvenir to take home.

| China Shigu Garden. ◾️China Shigu Garden is a free urban park in Baoji City, located on Shigu Mountain. It is named after the "first ancient Chinese artifact" - the stone drum - that was unearthed here. The Bronze Museum is located in the park and is a cultural ecological park that integrates site protection, bronze exhibition, stone drum culture display, garden sightseeing, and leisure and entertainment. ◾️China Shigu Garden is adjacent to the Yinxiang River in the east, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, Jifeng Mountain, in the south, the city in the west, and the Weihe River in the north. The environment is beautiful, the facilities are complete, and the view is wide. Whether it is the elderly who exercise in the morning or children who play, they can find a place of their own here. ◾️Shigu Pavilion, located on the top of Shigu Mountain, is the main building of China Shigu Garden and a landmark building in Baoji City. It is built in the style of Qin architecture, with a height of 56.9 meters and a five-story exterior and nine-story interior, implying the lofty status of Zhou and Qin civilization in the history and culture of the Chinese nation. When you climb the Shigu Pavilion, you will see a very large square in front of you, surrounded by green trees. In addition to tourists, this is also a place for local residents to relax and play.

Xipo has utilized the original idle old houses, retaining the characteristics of southern Shaanxi dwellings, such as tiled roofs, brick carvings, and earth-colored rammed earth walls, which are simple, warm, and full of rustic charm. The housekeepers and aunts are all local residents, each with a few signature home-cooked dishes, from seasonal wild vegetables to authentic northwest noodles. The three treasures of Zhashui: walnuts, black fungus, and chestnuts, are the most representative autumn flavors of the mountains. There are many attractions around Xipo Qinling. You can drive through the Qinling Tunnel, winding up the mountain, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Famous attractions in the Qinling Mountains, such as Taibai Mountain and Huashan, are not far away and can be visited to experience the grandeur and mystery of nature. You can also participate in various outdoor activities at Xipo Qinling, such as hiking, cycling, and photography, to explore the mysteries of the Qinling Mountains.

After a long drive along the Niu Bei Liang Gorge, you will finally arrive at Chejiahe Village, a place surrounded by mountains and so quiet that it seems to have been forgotten by the world. Located 80 km from Xi'an, Xipo Qinling is a home away from home for travelers in this secluded village in the mountains of southern Shaanxi. No new houses have been built here, and the original old houses have been preserved. The traditional tiles and roof carvings have been preserved. The interior design continues Xipo's free-spirited style and incorporates local aesthetics. The rooms are decorated with old objects and furniture from the Qinling Mountains, handmade items with historical traces, European country antique furniture, exotic murals, and more, creating a cultural dialogue. The homestay has a limited number of rooms, so it is naturally quiet. The rooms are designed in a simple and spacious style, with an overall rustic style and exquisite handicrafts and exotic colors as embellishments. The modern bathroom facilities create a luxurious rural holiday atmosphere. In this small world, you can enjoy the state of emptying your mind, sitting in the courtyard watching the clouds flow, chatting with friends around the campfire, just like the nights at your grandmother's house when you were a child. This is the romance of Xipo Qinling.

👉The "Nine-story Demonic Tower🏰" in Baoji City is actually just a Taoist temple with seven-story cave pavilions located in Xueshan Cave Forest Park. Because it looks a bit like a tower, it is called "Nine-story Demonic Tower🏰" by netizens. There is a legend that Qiu Chuji (a disciple of Wang Chongyang), a representative of the Quanzhen sect of Taoism, practiced here for several years around 1174 AD. ✅The statues in the Taoist temple are not allowed to be photographed📸.

There is a giant stone statue near the Taoist temple. It is said to be carved from a single huge stone, but it is not known who built it. It is still a mystery to this day? A lot of coins containing blessing fruits were placed on the trunk of the giant elephant💰. The stone elephant is about 12 meters tall, has a trunk 8 meters long, and weighs about 500 tons. Its tusks are covered with red prayer ribbons🧣. Usually there are many people checking in and taking photos here, so it doesn’t feel too spooky. But when you are alone, just stand a little further away and look carefully into its eyes, and you will feel that it is alive.
