During the National Day holiday, it rained every now and then, so I mostly stayed at home. Today, finally, the weather cleared up, so I drove for 45 minutes to Maosheng Snacks in Lantian County to eat oil cakes, and then went to play at Buckwheat Ridge in Yukou Village. Buckwheat Ridge is located in Jiujianfang Township, Lantian. In the past, this place was a poverty alleviation township supported by our unit, and a primary school was built here with our help. In recent years, Jiujianfang Township has vigorously developed rural tourism. They planted a large area of rapeseed flowers on a large slope backed by the Qinling Mountains, and built a path for tourists to enjoy the flowers, turning this place into a famous internet celebrity check-in spot. In spring and autumn, the buckwheat flowers are in full bloom, attracting numerous tourists. Today, I saw many tourists who came specifically to check in. There were also people like us who often come here to enjoy the scenery leisurely. Some people even set up tables and chairs on the side of the road to chat and drink tea. Standing on Buckwheat Ridge, the view is wide, the air is fresh, and the mood is relaxed.
