Hanzhong in April is a golden dream woven from rapeseed flowers and a tranquil paradise of tea fragrance. Step onto this ancient and charming land, and you can feel the unique charm of the intertwining of history and nature. Today, follow me to unlock a super detailed travel guide for Hanzhong in April and embark on an unforgettable trip! 📍 Location Hanzhong is located in the southwest of Shaanxi Province, with the Qinling Mountains to the north and the Bashan Mountains to the south.
