[2025 Suide Attraction] Travel Guide for Shuangshui Village (Updated May)

Travel Notes on Shuangshui Village in Suide, Northern Shaanxi From Yulin to Guojiagou, the shooting location of Shuangshui Village, you need to pass through a national highway. It was a stretch of national highway with many more large cars than small cars. As I was approaching in the afternoon, I witnessed the congestion. A long queue of red coal and oil trucks looks like a train running on the road. The experienced drivers from Shaanxi and K shuttled between the large vehicles with ease, just like the electric vehicles that were inserted into every crack in the motorway in the city. I was the only one who hid in a gas station nearby to take pictures and record the journey to Shuangshui Village. Familiar scenes come to mind one after another: the Donla River and the bridge at the entrance of the village The cave dwellings are particularly conspicuous in the mountains, and the sorghum plants are growing happily. Jujube trees can be seen everywhere and red jujube stones have fallen all over the ground. A pair of elderly people also lived at the filming location of the Ge Festival Commune. The place where Tian Futang and Sun Yuting met still maintains the decorations in the play. The uncle skillfully attracts tourists to come and visit. He also sells Xintianyou in Northern Shaanxi for 20 yuan a piece or cosmetics for farmers and engineers in northern Shaanxi ranging from 5 to 10 yuan each. They even help you guide the action and provide shooting services. Sun Yuhou’s house and Sun Yuting’s house are very dilapidated, not only in the book but also here. Only one cave in Sun Yuhou's house has water seeping inside. The courtyard of the hotel where Sun Shaoan and He Xiulian got married belong to other families. Naturally, no one lives in these two families anymore, which is in sharp contrast to the Tian Futang family. This family still has people living in the cave dwelling. The floor is new and the floor has been repaired. The hostess is also relatively young, and she is about to go to Shuangshui Village Elementary School. Hearing a group of young people singing Sheep La Belly Handkerchief Three Blues The sound of the song resounds throughout the Loess Plateau and takes you directly to the ordinary world. The stable where Shaoan and Xiulian lived was very close to the elementary school and also to the stage of the denunciation rally. There was an old woman in Lanhuahua's house who lived alone and couldn't understand Mandarin. I couldn't understand her speech either. Back at the entrance of the village. Shaoan and Xiulian’s new cave dwellings are now converted into a bed and breakfast, which is particularly eye-catching at the entrance of the village. I chose another cave dwelling to live in and slept on the kang without a fire. I ate yellow steamed buns made from cornmeal with dates and sorghum porridge in it. In addition to eating, the landlord's aunt also worked part-time as a tour guide. In fact, she took you to 8 filming locations and told you some scenes from the TV series. In this village, which is basically full of left-behind elderly people, they can be regarded as having an income and someone to talk to, just like the elderly people in Shigejie Commune.
