Zhong Ling Yu Xiu, Full of Radiance｜A Hidden Gem in Weinan, Shaanxi—Hancheng

【Baili Qin Chuan·Hancheng·Zhong Ling Yu Xiu, Full of Radiance】With a bit too much gas, I crossed the Yellow River and arrived at the small town of Hancheng in Weinan, Shaanxi. This is the hometown of the great historian Sima Qian. The ancient city retains a large number of buildings from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, making it a true 'ancient city.' Rewinding time by five hundred years, the most splendid structures in the ancient city are the Confucian Temple and the City God Temple complex built during the Yuan and Ming periods. Despite the passage of time, the Five-Dragon Wall of the Confucian Temple still shines brightly, and the dougong on the archway is the most beautiful I've ever seen. In front of the City God Temple, there are two Seven-Dragon Shadow Walls, which, despite some damage, still look magnificent. Inside the City God Temple, there is also a beautifully carved stage. A bit further from the City God Temple, there is another temple called Beiying Temple, also known as the Guan Di Temple, which also has an even more exquisite stage. Don't miss it. The ancient city is not large; in half a day, you can leisurely explore and capture the essence of the ancient city. To the south of Hancheng, there is the Sima Qian Temple; to the north, there is the Dangjia Village architectural complex, Puzhao Temple, Dayu Temple, and also the Rui State Museum, among others. Hancheng Ancient City, YYDS! 📝Note tips: Joint ticket for the Confucian Temple, City God Temple, and Dongying Temple is 50 yuan.
