Life advice: You must dive deep into the healing utopia of the Qinling Mountains

People often ask, what does the life you long for really look like? The answer is hidden in Yuwan Village deep in the Qinling Mountains🌿. Driving from Xi'an, the winding mountain road stretches for over 2 hours🚗, leaving the city's noise far behind until you break into this pastoral land surrounded by mountains and water—this is the closest southern place to the north. Outside the window are layers of terraced rice fields and wetlands. The late autumn village is wrapped in an intense autumn hue, with the blue brick and white wall houses of southern Shaanxi scattered about. In the harvested rice fields, villagers are busy planting rapeseed. The distant mountains are like dark ink, the nearby water shrouded in mist, like a living ancient painting🖼️. Here, life moves as if paused: waking up to sunlight piercing through the morning fog, smoke curling up from cooking fires. Open the door and you might encounter the graceful crested ibis🕊️, flying over lotus ponds and resting in rice fields. Their wingbeats reveal the freshest face of nature (if you want to see the crested ibis, remember to visit the "Home of the Crested Ibis" or near the crested ibis trees, and walk lightly so as not to disturb this beauty~). The daytime is all yours: lying down reading☕️, basking in the sun while having afternoon tea, riding the little rice field train through golden fields🚞, hiking gently along the hillside, or ordering a coffee at the "Natural Bookstore Under the Sky," checking in at the most beautiful window of the Qinling Mountains, where even your breath carries the sweet freshness of the rice fields. Even more precious is the gentle perseverance of this land: to protect the crested ibis and the ecosystem, the rice fields have always used traditional farming methods without chemical fertilizers, which is why flocks of crested ibis thrive and the lotus ponds are full of vibrant life🌱. The village also holds surprises—exhibitions, bookstores, and museums scattered around. The original village texture blends with artistic sensibility, making every step a romantic experience of earth aesthetics. In the evening, enjoy a bowl of rice cooked from the new crested ibis rice from the fields, paired with southern Shaanxi specialty dishes🥢. As night falls, the whole village is so quiet you can hear the insects chirping. Stay in a guesthouse with blue brick and white walls, accompanied by distant mountains and a starry sky overhead. For a moment, you might not tell if you are in southern Shaanxi or have wandered into the gentle land of Yunnan. 📍Ningshan · Yuwan Village · Luchaishan Ji Yuwan Yigu Give your days back to nature, and you will understand what true healing means💛
