Zhenba—Shiquan

The golden holiday is approaching again. If you don't want to see crowds of people and avoid the troubles of highway traffic jams, and just want a peaceful and quiet leisure time, you can arrange a four-day, three-night leisure trip to southern Shaanxi. Departing on October 2nd, we proceed leisurely. The first stop is to view the 'Water Forest,' taste Xixiang hot rice noodles, Zhenba Tujia cuisine, and stay overnight at Zhenba Hotel. On the morning of October 3rd, we head to visit the 'High Mountain Grassland.' Unfortunately, it rains continuously, so we can't enjoy the entertainment activities, but the scenery of the mountain top in the rain has a unique charm, and we admire the spectacular sea of clouds. In the afternoon, we visit the northernmost Miao village 'Leijiazhai Ancient Miao Residence and Shenlong Cave,' and stay overnight at a hotel near the scenic area. Perhaps all the tourists went to other attractions, so we had the place to ourselves . On October 4th, we traverse the winding paths in the Qinling Mountains to explore the Tiankeng group near Shuanghekou Village, which is breathtaking; the natural primitive forest makes one linger. In the afternoon, we change our plan and head to Shiquan to satisfy our taste buds with 'Shiquan Stone Pot Fish.' In the evening, we stroll along the old street of Shiquan—along the river for sightseeing, feeling relaxed and free. Isn't this the life we want ? On October 5th, we return to Xi'an, with smooth traffic all the way. This has been the most relaxing golden holiday trip in years.
