Today, I must share a private, niche route with you that is uncrowded, scenic, and cool. It's a relaxing and pleasant two-day, one-night trip! 🚗 Transportation Departing from Xi'an, take the high-speed train 🚄 to Ningqiang South Station in 1.5 hours for a quick arrival. If you prefer to travel freely, driving is also a good option. It takes about 5.5 hours, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way. 📅 Itinerary Day 1: 1. Zengjiashan "Chuandong Tiankeng" (Sinkhole): Tickets are CNY 50/person. As soon as you enter the scenic area, a cool breeze hits you, as if you have instantly entered a natural refrigerator. Parents with children must prepare a coat for their children, as it is only a few degrees above ten in the cave, which is quite cold. The scenic area is not large, and the roads are wooden steps. My 5-year-old child was able to walk the entire route by themself very easily. 2. Zengjia Yuanyangchi Forest Park: Free admission! This place is simply a fairyland. The large lawn is surrounded by lush trees, just like a fairy tale world. It is perfect for an impromptu camping trip with your camping gear. The average summer temperature here is only 23°C. It lives up to its name as a "summer resort". You can take great photos anywhere, so mothers must not miss it. In the evening, check in to Yinju Xiangli Hanshui Yao Homestay. The homestay is hidden in a quiet village with beautiful pastoral scenery. You can not only take your children to explore the source of the Han River and feel the charm of nature, but also enjoy swimming in the homestay. The small river next to the homestay is also a great place to play in the water. It's really too pleasant! Day 2: After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the homestay, set off for Qingmuchuan Ancient Town, located at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces. This is the legendary magical place where you can "step on three provinces with one foot". You can take a bus from the county town or drive there, which is very convenient. After visiting the ancient town, you can return to Xi'an and end your pleasant trip. 📌 Tips 1. If you are traveling with children, it will be more convenient to drive, charter a car, or rent a car, so you can stop and rest at any time. If you are traveling alone or as a couple, public transportation is very suitable, as it is economical and free. 2. There are two routes to choose from when returning to Xi'an from Qingmuchuan Ancient Town: (Qingmuchuan - Guangyuan - Xi'an) and (Qingmuchuan - Ningqiang - Xi'an). You can arrange according to your own time and preferences. 3. When going to "Chuandong Tiankeng", be sure to bring a light jacket, as the temperature in the cave is low, so be careful not to catch a cold. This niche trip has really been rewarding for me and my child. Next time, I will continue to unlock more fun places for you, so remember to follow me!

#favouriteitinerary During a past visit to Qingmuchuan Ancient Town, located in Ningqiang County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, I was fascinated by its unique position straddling the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan. Rongshengkui, one of the three attractions included in the combo ticket, was a famous entertainment venue owned by Wei Yuancheng. The rooms are arranged in tiers, modeled after ship cabins. The Opium Den, once a place of debauchery, categorized patrons based on their wealth, offering private rooms, superior rooms, and common spaces. The Wei Family Mansion, the best-preserved ancient building located at the foot of a mountain, featured large courtyards, machine gun posts, and a private training ground for troops. Wear comfortable shoes and be mindful of preserving the ancient buildings and artifacts. Qingmuchuan Ancient Town's historical charm and cultural richness make it a must-visit destination. 🌿😊

I've visited many ancient towns in Shaanxi, and Qingmuchuan is the most well-preserved one I've seen. Its preservation is twofold: the ancient town's overall appearance has been preserved, and several important ancient buildings have been preserved to this day. To develop tourism, Qingmuchuan has built a "new street" where shops for food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation are concentrated. This not only meets the needs of tourists but also preserves the ancient appearance of the old street in Huilongchang, continuing the "ancient" aspect of the ancient town. If you're looking for an authentic ancient town with a great experience in Shaanxi, Qingmuchuan is probably one of the best choices.

Qingmuchuan Ancient Town is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces, in Ningqiang County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi.

The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The town is located in a humid, north subtropical region, and is affected by the alternating Qinling Daba Mountain and southwest monsoon climates.

Guide to checking in at tourist attractions: In Shaanxi, there is an ancient town famous for a tree - Qingmuchuan Ancient Town. It is located in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi. However, because it is located at the junction of the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, it has always been known as the "Three Cock-Crowing Provinces". Although it is small It is not popular among the public, but the ancient town still retains a large number of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is simple and mysterious, and it is as fun as Wuzhen! 🚙Transportation Starting from Xi'an, you can take the high-speed train to Ningqiang County, then transfer to a local shuttle bus or take a taxi to Qingmuchuan Ancient Town, which takes about 2 hours. 🎫Tickets: The ancient town is free of charge, but Wei's Mansion, Rongshengkui and the Smokehouse require separate joint tickets to enter. ✅Attraction Guide 📍Wei Family House The landmark building of Qingmuchuan Ancient Town was built by the famous gentleman Wei Futang during the Republic of China. The houses are made of blue bricks and plain tiles, with carved beams and painted beams. 📍Huilongchang Old Street The core area of ​​Qingmuchuan Ancient Town is also the bustling area of ​​the ancient town. It is built along the river, with shops on both sides, and has a strong market atmosphere. 📍Smoke shop Witnessing the prosperity and decay of the ancient town, the current opium den has been transformed into a historical and cultural place of the ancient town. 📍Rong Shengkui It was once an entertainment venue in the ancient town.

The ancient town is not big, but its quiet environment and quaint history make it worth a visit in your spare time!

On the way back to Xi'an, I planned to include two places as transit stops. First stop: Qingshucun Ancient Town, a town with rich historical culture, known as the place where 'one foot steps into three provinces,' i.e., the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces. It was founded in the mid-Ming Dynasty, took shape in the late Qing Dynasty, and flourished during the Republic of China era, with a history of over 500 years. I have visited many ancient towns, each with its own historical accumulation. Understanding the local history, culture, and humanity, traveling is also a learning process. Second stop: Liuba County. It happened to be the weekend, and there were many tourists. Kudos to the local government for arranging dedicated personnel to provide convenient parking for tourists. The old street, Lover's Valley, and Shizigou Ranch are all recommended places online. I think the most beautiful rural road is still worth seeing in autumn. In the old street, there is a braised beef noodle shop with generous portions and good taste. After a satisfying meal, I embarked on the journey back home.

If you want to take a short trip over the weekend, I think Hanzhong in southern Shaanxi is a very good choice. It's like the Jiangnan of southern Shaanxi~ 'The throat of Qin' and 'The gateway to Shu', it's also quite convenient to travel here, with direct trains available. Staying in Hantai District of Hanzhong is recommended, and the area around the station is also fine, with well-developed surrounding facilities! You can easily cover the main urban area in one day! Food: We have a lot of delicious food in Hanzhong! You can easily find something that will make you cry with joy! Hot noodles, walnut buns, pot fish, spicy Guokui... I won't recommend specific restaurants, as I think any place you choose will be authentic and delicious~~ Make sure to save one day for the special scenic spots! We specifically went to the Shimen Plank Road. If you haven't been here, it's like you haven't been to Hanzhong at all, hahaha! The plank road culture here is very long-standing! The Shimen, with its special excavation method, is one of the most important structures on the plank road! It's the first artificially excavated tunnel for vehicles~ There are also places like Shanhe Weir! This is also the birthplace of the Shimen Thirteen Inscriptions cliff carvings. Friends who love the history of the Three Kingdoms will deeply fall in love with this place! Everywhere you look, there are traces of time, with beautiful scenery and cultural atmosphere coexisting!

The average temperature in summer is 25 degrees, which is one of them. Avoid the hustle and bustle, the deeper you go into the mountains, the cooler it gets. Deep in the heart of the Qinling Mountains, at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces, there is such an isolated and prosperous ancient town called 'Qingmuchuan', with an average annual temperature of only 13 degrees.
