Over 2200 years ago, a Korean named Zheng Guo came to the Qin State
Before going, I preconceived that it would be a small-scale artificial channel. After all, the vicissitudes of over 2000 years are there, and some dilapidation would be acceptable. However, it was completely unexpected.
On the way to the scenic area, the words 'Qin people control water' are continuously engraved on the side, immediately evoking the spirit of 'The brave old Qin, together facing national calamities,' outlining the unyielding stubbornness of the Qin people for two thousand years.
After entering the scenic area, you need to take a special bus to the top of the mountain to Zheng Guo Lake. On the way to Zheng Guo Lake, overlooking the layers of mountains and rivers, full of greenery, only the phrase 'mountains and waters are green' comes to mind, showing how the river nourished this vast land over two thousand years ago.
In Zheng Guo Lake, you can take a boat or a speedboat. The lake water is emerald green, the mountains are verdant, and the scenery is stunning. Every frame is a beautiful picture.
After touring Zheng Guo Lake, you can walk down the road or take a car. There are suspended swings and a glass walkway in the middle. There is a small path next to the glass walkway that goes all the way down, where you can take a bamboo raft. It is highly recommended to experience the bamboo raft. There are photo spots next to it, and taking pictures on the bamboo raft is also very beautiful. Drifting down on the bamboo raft, you can closely experience the beauty of the mountains and waters, marveling at Zheng Guo from over two thousand years ago and admiring the 'green waters and green mountains' of today.
After getting off the bamboo raft, you can see the waterfall. Further ahead, there is an interesting shouting spring that children love. After that is the Dragon King Temple.
Further down, there is a place to play with water, but I was too tired to experience it, so I went straight back to the foot of the mountain.
The ticket price for Zheng Guo Canal is 100 yuan per person. I personally think it is worth a visit. Such beautiful mountain and water scenery has a strong contrast.

Zhengguo Canal: A Millennium Water Conservancy Legend
Walking through the thousand-year-old Zhengguo Canal, every step is a dialogue with history, every glance is an admiration of nature.
Inside the scenic area, Jinghe Geological Park, Jinghe Canyon, Heigou Qixia... each place is filled with the magic and charm of nature. Standing on the Floating Cloud Platform, overlooking the entire scenic area, it feels like the whole world is at your feet. And the clear Jinghe water is even more refreshing and makes one linger and forget to return.
Yuanjiacun: A Microcosm of Guanzhong Culture
Yuanjiacun, this ancient village hidden in the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi, seems like a time tunnel, taking us back to that ancient and simple era. Tofu workshops, mills, oil mills... each manual workshop exudes a strong local atmosphere, making one seem to smell the scent of that era.
Here, you can taste authentic Guanzhong cuisine and feel the most pure taste. And those traditional buildings make one feel as if they have traveled back to ancient times, experiencing the style and charm of that era.

Xianyang|Nanny-level Travel Guide! An article to understand eating, strolling, and staying!
|Nanny-level Travel Guide! An article to understand eating, strolling, and staying!.⛩️ Xianyang, with a long history, in the first year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty (618 AD), Empress Wu Zetian changed it to Chixian County because her mother's tomb, Shunling, was located here. During the Five Dynasties, both Song dynasties, and the Jin dynasty, it was called Xianyang. At the beginning of the Yuan dynasty, Xianyang was briefly incorporated into Xingping, but soon the Xianyang county system was restored. In the fourth year of Hongwu of the Ming dynasty, Xianyang was moved to Weishui Post, which is now the location of Qindu District. Both Ming and Qing dynasties called it Xianyang, under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture. It is a historically significant site for thirteen dynasties in China.

Visiting Zhengguo Canal is a great choice, and I recommend it
Firstly, the Jinghe Grand Canyon is known as the "Number One Grand Canyon in Guanzhong," where the landscape is both exquisitely beautiful with clear waters and spectacular with deep valleys and gorges. Sailing through it, you will experience the natural wonder of the creator's craftsmanship and the precipitous cliffs.
Secondly, Zhengguo Lake is also a major highlight. This is a landscape of half lake and half peninsula formed by the waters of the Jinghe River winding around the mountains. Taking a boat ride to enjoy the lake and mountains, you can fully enjoy the tranquility and comfort.
Lastly, you must not miss the Floating Cloud Platform! This is a challenging and thrilling glass viewing platform. Standing on it, you can have an unobstructed view of the beauty of the Jinghe River and feel the magnificence and vastness of nature.
Additionally, the red leaf viewing at Zhengguo Canal is also a unique feature, especially in autumn when the red leaves cover the mountains and valleys, creating a beautiful scene that complements the landscape.
Whether you love the beauty of mountains and rivers or seek thrills and challenges, Zhengguo Canal can satisfy your needs.

Zheng Guo Canal|Korean water engineer, good at canal construction
|Korean water engineer, good at canal construction. Zheng Guo Canal - Korean water engineer, good at canal construction.
At the end of the Warring States Period, Korea was afraid of Qin, and had no strength to attack Qin, nor to resist the attack of Qin people. Someone suggested that Korean water engineer Zheng Guo enter Qin, suggest canal construction, and thus consume Qin's manpower and wealth, weaken Qin's army. This move backfired, Guanzhong became a fertile land for thousands of miles, Qin's strength became stronger, and gradually annexed the six countries. In 2016, Zheng Guo Canal was successfully applied for world heritage.

Zheng Guo Canal: From a strategy to exhaust Qin to a strategy to strengthen Qin
Zheng Guo Canal, located on the north bank of Jing River, 25 kilometers northwest of Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province, was built under the supervision of Zheng Guo, a water conservancy expert from Han, in 246 BC (the first year of King Zheng of Qin). It is one of the earliest large-scale water conservancy projects built on the Guanzhong Plain.
In the late Warring States period, among the seven feudal states of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han, Qin was growing rapidly and was eyeing the other six states. Han, located on the key route for Qin to exit Hangu Pass and advance into the Central Plains, could be swallowed by Qin at any time.
In 246 BC, King Huan of Han, in a state of constant fear and desperation, adopted a very crude so-called 'exhausting Qin' strategy: he sent the famous water engineer Zheng Guo to Qin to persuade Qin to dig a large irrigation canal between Jing River and Luo River (both tributaries of Wei River). On the surface, it was to develop Qin's agriculture, but the real purpose was to exhaust Qin's strength, delay Qin's eastward advance, and gain a respite.
After Zheng Guo arrived in Qin, he persuaded King Qin to dig a canal, diverting Jing River to Luo River, and irrigating the land along the river. Ying Zheng, who had just ascended the throne, wanted to develop water conservancy and accumulate strength to prepare for the unification of the six states. So, he quickly accepted this attractive suggestion and immediately recruited more than 100,000 workers and a large amount of materials, appointed Zheng Guo to supervise the construction, and launched the most magnificent and spectacular water conservancy project at that time.
During the construction process, Han's 'exhausting Qin' plot was exposed, and King Qin was furious and wanted to kill Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo defended himself by saying: 'At first, I was a spy, but when the canal is completed, it will also benefit Qin. I delayed Han's life for a few years, but I have made a great contribution to Qin for thousands of generations.'
Ying Zheng was a far-sighted politician. He thought Zheng Guo made sense, and the project also needed Zheng Guo. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to continue to use Zheng Guo and let him be responsible for the project to the end. The project took ten years to complete and was named Zheng Guo Canal.
The Zheng Guo Canal project took advantage of the high northwest and low southeast terrain, built a stone dam on the Jing River in the northwest of Jingyang County, intercepted the river water, raised the water level, and introduced it into the main canal. The main canal was arranged at the highest point of the irrigation canal, extending eastward along the foot of the north mountain, passing through Jingyang, Sanyuan, Fuping, Pucheng and other counties, and finally flowing into Luo River south of Jincheng Village, Pucheng County. Along the way, it cut off the rivers along the mountain, incorporated the smelting water, clear water, turbid water, and Shichuan water into the canal to increase the water volume. In an area of 300 li, Zheng Guo Canal formed a dense irrigation system like a spider web between the three rivers of Jing, Luo, and Wei in the northern part of the Guanzhong Plain.
The completion of Zheng Guo Canal allowed the scarce rainfall and poor land of Guanzhong to be irrigated, greatly improving the agricultural production in Guanzhong. The Guanzhong Plain gradually became the granary of Qin. Six years after the completion of Zheng Guo Canal, Qin destroyed Han, and Han, who had thrown out the 'exhausting Qin' strategy, was wiped out. Fifteen years after the completion of Zheng Guo Canal, Qin destroyed the six states and achieved unification of the world.
