Nanshui Beidiao Meiankang, good mountains, good water, good scenery.

Ankang in Shaanxi is famous for its mountains and rivers. As an important water source conservation area for the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, a drop of good water from Ankang has brought tremendous changes to our water use. This trip to Shaanxi is of great significance. While appreciating the beautiful scenery, we also have a deeper understanding of the background, significance and implementation process of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. The first stop is Houliu Shuixiang in Shiquan. The clear water, beautiful mountains and lakes, ancient buildings and old streets, human fireworks, sitting on a boat, blowing the wind, eating fish, feeling the freedom and comfort of "Happy Lake" exclusive to Ankang people~ ⛩️Houliu Ancient Town Old Street Houliu Ancient Town was built in the Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the starting point of an important wharf on the golden waterway of the Han River and the core area of Houliu Shuixiang. The streets are high and low, and the buildings on both sides are mostly in the Huizhou style of the Republic of China period, which is simple and elegant. At the entrance of the street, there is a famous "house-wrapped tree" landscape. A soapberry tree with a history of more than 800 years grows from the middle of the house, which is very peculiar. 🚢Hanjiang River Bank Taking a boat is the best way to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers along the river. The Hanjiang River Bank, known as the Little Three Gorges of the Hanjiang River, has green mountains and clear water, deep and quiet valleys. It is a must-see scenic spot. At the wharf of the river bank, you can choose to take a painting boat or a water motorcycle for water activities~ ⛰️Surrounding natural landscape Near Houliu Town, there are also natural landscapes such as Shifo Ancient Temple, Xiangbai Shiyan, Xianyu Quandong, and Liyu Shangpo.
