Wanna come back there! #christmasmarket#romanticrestaurant#bestislandtraveltowns#hipsterbookstore#café

One thing that must be mentioned in Xi'an is the Hukou Waterfall. Many tourists who come to Xi'an ignore this attraction or feel that it takes too long and give up and spend their time on the commercialized Muslim Street instead. I personally feel that it is difficult to imagine the power of nature if you don’t experience it yourself, and you can’t feel the shock just by looking at the photos. .

Xi'an Travel Guide | Must-See Attractions✨ 🎈Xi'an, this ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, has a profound history and culture. Here's a super practical Xi'an travel guide for you. 📍Hanzhong Tiankeng 🌳This site integrates sinkholes, underground rivers, caves, and canyons.

Located on National Highway G244, deep in the mountains of Qinling Mountains, a nine-story demon tower has gradually become famous. This time I drove from Xi'an to find out. 📍 Navigation and positioning of Snow Mountain Cave 🎫 No tickets are required. The attraction itself is a place for locals to cool off and escape the heat. You cannot enter after 5 o'clock (but in summer, it seems that the park will not close until dark) 🚶‍♀️The scenic spot is very small and you can finish the tour quickly, but be sure not to go the wrong way. Many hiking and adventures advocated by guides may make you return disappointed. After entering the park, pass the stream, turn left and walk forward for 1 minute. 🐘 🛕 If you want to see the stone elephants, walk to the right and follow the stone steps leading into the mountain. It will take 7 minutes if you are a fast walker. If you want to see the Nine-story Demon Tower, go to the Taoist temple on the left, go to the end and go up the stairs to reach your destination. ⚠️ There are roads leading to the deep mountains around the stone elephant, which are difficult to walk on and are all dead ends. No need to explore, avoid danger. Many people who want to find the Nine-story Demon Tower mistakenly believe that the Demon Tower is deeper behind the stone elephant because of the words "adventure" and "hiking" in other guides. Many people have lost their way in the forest behind the stone elephant. Please be sure to pay attention to safety. ⚠️ Judging from its appearance, the Nine-Story Demon Tower is a modern Taoist temple building, but it is still very distinctive. There is currently a fence, so you can have a closer look. The entrance to the Taoist temple is the entrance to the Snow Mountain Cave. It is freezing cold and a bit scary. 🚗 30 minutes drive from Baoji city and 2 hours from Xi'an. #Baoji #Snow Mountain Cave #g244 #Qinling Mountains #Nine-story Demon Tower #Summer Vacation #Surrounding Tours #Atmosphere #Ghost #Forest Walk

According to legend, in 1174 AD, Qiu Chuji, a representative figure of the Quanzhen Sect of Taoism, practiced seclusion in this cave for more than six years. The seven-story cave pavilion is built against the mountain, and its appearance is like a tower, beautiful and spectacular. It has Taoist cultural value and unique architectural style. There is a stone cave hidden behind the pavilion, from which gushes a magical spring. The water is sweet and clear and never dries up all year round. Legend has it that drinking it can cure diseases and relieve worries, which attracts believers from all directions to drink it. Outside the snow mountain caves, the mountains are steep, the forests are lush, the waters are clear, there are small bridges and wooden houses, and the environment is elegant, making it a great place for leisure and vacation. 👣 Route Introduction Brief itinerary: Xi'an - Snow Mountain Cave - Pomegranate Mountain - Xi'an Route Difficulty: Casual Route type: Outdoor light hiking + mountain food Travel distance: about 8 kilometers Climbing height: 300 meters Suitable for people: 5-65 years old, healthy, suitable for all ages 🔥 Route Features 1.

🗿 The giant elephant and the "Seven-story Demon Tower" are located in a dilapidated scenic area, and the giant elephant is hidden in the back mountain of the scenic area. 🏯The "Seven-story Demon Tower" has fallen into disrepair over the years, and the floors above the fourth have been closed. 🌞 It’s best to go there in the morning when there is plenty of light, because the entire back mountain of the scenic area looks gloomy. 📸 Lowering the exposure when taking photos can capture that mysterious atmosphere. #Qinling #Seven-story Demon Tower #Snow Mountain Cave #Qinling Hiking #Every Monday Mountain

🌧️This ancient village demon tower is the most eerie place I have ever been to in my life. When I arrived at the Xuewei No. 1 Tomb at the beginning of the year, I felt that it was a Feng Shui treasure land, endless, quiet and pleasant. This time when I went to Baoji, I heard that there was a so-called "Seven-story Demon Tower". I was a little excited. I drove through the winding mountain road and arrived at the gate in the rain, only to find that the gate to the mountain pass was locked. 🚪I thought it might be closed for maintenance or something, so I walked closer and saw the guy in the management office watching TV. I asked if I could come in, and he pointed to the path next to it without even turning his head. It turns out that there is a small path on the side of the gate, sandwiched between the management office. As you enter the mountain gate, you will see a stone bridge. The waterfalls and vegetation hanging down from the mountain wall make it seem like few people come here. 🌿We saw a man and a woman walking out on the stone bridge. We curiously asked for directions. They said in panic that they didn’t go in because they met a big dog halfway that circled around them and kept following them, so they had no choice but to retreat. We felt pretty good about ourselves so we continued walking inside, thinking there was nothing to be afraid of about dogs… 🐶Then just after we turned the corner in the mountain, we saw that big dog coming towards us and looking at us. My whole body went numb and I immediately turned around and walked away. I thought to myself, "I'm afraid of this dog too..." The dog followed us all the way to the management office, and we insisted on going back when we got the chance to go back... I was relieved that the big dog didn't follow us... 🚶‍♂️After walking a short distance, I saw a Taoist temple with a half-open fence. After pushing the door open, it looked like there were people living inside, but there was no one around. There were only Taoist statues inside. After walking through the first floor, there is another Taoist temple up the slope. I thought I had gone the wrong way because I didn’t see the multi-story building as shown in the photos online. In fact, I had to continue walking up the stairs in the middle of the second floor Taoist temple. The stairwell was cold and uncomfortable. When I went up to the second floor, there were many statues on both sides, but the pale white woven lights looked particularly scary in the cold afternoon. I walked up with my head down and could see the "Seven-story Demon Tower" through the end of the corridor. 🏯When I saw that the place was fenced off and no one was allowed to enter, I felt secretly happy because I really didn’t want to go any further... I stood under the "Demon Tower" and admired the peculiar architecture and its fusion with nature. I wanted to know more about the history of the "Demon Tower", so I opened Baidu to search for it, but was scared by the first video introducing the haunted place and dared not stand there any longer. 📹I was about to walk out before I finished watching the video. When I just entered the staircase cave, a man suddenly appeared. I was still thinking in my heart that "the demon tower is haunted and no one dares to spend the night here. The tower guards have moved away." This tourist scared me so much that my legs went weak... I finally recovered and walked out again. Okay, facing the rain and the sound of water flowing in the mountains, the big dog came again... and followed me all the way to the door...🚗After getting in the car, I smoked three cigarettes but still couldn't recover... #Nine-story Demon Tower #Seven-story Demon Tower #Baoji Demon Tower #Baoji Xuedong Mountain

🗺️ Location: Navigate and search directly for "Xueshan Cave" in Baoji 🎟️: Tickets are temporarily free (open all day) 🏯 The "Nine-story Demon Tower" is actually a very inconspicuous Taoist temple located in Baoji City. In fact, this tower is built against the mountain and has a total of seven floors. It is so old that only two floors can be climbed. It is not recommended to go in due to disrepair. It is also quite nice to walk around outside. The seven-story cave pavilion is built against the mountain. It looks like a tower from the outside, so it is jokingly called the Seven-story Demon Tower. It was originally a Taoist temple. Each small unit room enshrines a great Taoist figure. It is not known whether there is something suppressed underneath. In short, it is full of mystery. 🐘 In addition, not far from the Taoist temple, there is a huge stone elephant more than ten meters high. The elephant lies on the ground as if drinking water, which is very suitable for taking photos and checking in. 🚗 Route: It is recommended to drive half an hour away from Baoji city. The distance between the seven-story demon tower and the stone elephant is not very far. ⚠️ Note: It is not recommended to come from Xi'an or further away to see this. If you are traveling by car, you can go there to take photos and check in. Because this place is very small, you can definitely finish visiting it in an hour, so it is not cost-effective to travel hundreds of kilometers to see this. #xi'anaround #xi'anaroundtour #baojicity

🏞️Hidden deep in the mountains, the humid air is accompanied by the sound of flowing water, moss grows wildly, and the tower is embedded in the rocks. With steep stairs and people coming and going, this place finally merges into the mountains. #photography #photography #Baoji #Xi'an's surroundings #adventure #cityadventure #Nine-story Demon Tower

He was famous for meeting King Wen while fishing at Ziquan. ✅ After every rain, the Diaoyutai Dam will release an unprecedented amount of water, forming a stunning waterfall landscape (it is recommended to go there after the rain, the waterfall will be more spectacular). #outdoor #xi'an #niche travel destination #hiking #nine-story demon tower #strategy #temple #xi'an surrounding tour

🗻Xueshan Cave, this niche travel destination, the cave is naturally formed, the cave is 23 meters deep and 5 meters high. According to legend, Qiu Chuji practiced here for several years in 1174 AD. It is also a holy place for the Quanzhen Sect. There is an abandoned "Nine-story Demon Tower" here, which looks a bit eerie due to years of disrepair. Hidden deep inside is a huge stone elephant, its tusks wrapped with red prayer ribbons, wishing the gods favor it and everything goes smoothly. 🚗Transportation: Navigate to Xueshan Cave, 20 kilometers from Gaoxin, and drive for about 25 minutes.

After about 15 minutes of walking, you will see the giant stone elephant. After viewing the stone elephant, return along the same route and when you get back to the fork in the road, the temple is on your left. If you keep walking to the back, you will reach the "Nine-story Demon Tower". I am quite timid, so I didn’t go in. The whole tour can be completed within an hour and the road conditions are friendly. When we came back, we saw some people barbecuing on both sides of the river. It’s also a good camping spot. Remember to take away the garbage when you’re done. #travel #strategy #natural scenery sharing

#100WaysOfTravel Shaanxi Province is the gateway to Northwest China. It is located in the center of the country and is considered the spiritual cradle of Chinese culture and history, as well as the beginning of the Great Silk Road. It was here, in the city of Chang'an (now the administrative center of the province - Xi'an), that the legendary trade route to the west began. The province has a very ancient and rich history. For more than 1,000 years, it represented the political, economic and cultural center of ancient China. The capitals of 13 dynasties were located here, including such famous ones as Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang. From here the country was governed for 1180 years. In ancient times, the province was called "Qin". And the province became one of the most prosperous in China during the Han rule. Shaanxi is one of the favorite places for tourists from China and from all over the world, because there are many historical monuments of ancient culture here. There are 72 graves of emperors on the territory of the province, which testifies to the extremely important place of this region in the social, economic and cultural life of China in different periods of its rich history. Most travelers come here to see the famous Terracotta Army – thousands of statues of warriors and their horses buried next to the tomb of the first emperor. Today, Xi'an is the administrative center of Shaanxi Province, located in the Northwestern region of China. Xi'an was the starting point of all caravans traveling along the Great Silk Road from China to the West. It was along the Great Silk Road that Buddhism came to Xi'an, which then spread throughout China. Xi'an is the cultural heritage of the whole of China and the best option for independent travel in this province. Baoji is one of the Chinese cities of interest to tourists. Tombs, pedestrian streets, ancient temples and monasteries are located within the city and are easily accessible by public transport. Xianyang is another city where there are many attractions, the number of ancient tombs and burials and museum exhibits is countless.

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.

#chinatrip One of the popular tourist destinations in Xi'an. It shows the history of how the Buddhism spread into China during the Tang dynasty.

Get free entry by showing your ID cards (passport for foreign nationals and Chinese ID for Chinese nationals). The ticket includes the entry to the Xi'an museum.

Spring is coming~🌸 Good things will come as expected. When your energy is low, look at nature. Shaanxi. Jiaxian 1.💞The small town in northern Shaanxi by the Yellow River, the Xianglu Temple on the cliff, the thousand-year-old jujube forest in the valley, and the cascading cave dwellings in the ravines are all worth visiting. Shanxi. Yunzhou 2.💞Although it is a district and county under Datong, many people will miss this super interesting frontier town outside the Great Wall: lakes, wetlands, grasslands, earth forests, volcanoes, ancient castles, and the daylily fields that spread across the sky. Renhua, Guangdong 3.💞This is a completely unknown Lingnan town. The place where the Danxia landform is named, "Danxia Mountain", is located here. There are still many tourists in Danxia Mountain during holidays, but apart from the core scenic area, the surrounding rivers, streams, ancient villages and countryside are basically not visited by tourists. Hebei. Huailai. 4.💞This is a small city in Hebei Province close to Beijing. It has wilderness similar to the Gobi Desert, as well as beautiful lakes as warm as those in the south. It has both the ancient city post station with vicissitudes of life and the tall and magnificent wine estate. The grassland, the Great Wall, the mountains and the windmills make this small city more colorful. Shaanxi.Liuba 5.💞This small town in the Qinling Mountains, which has gained some popularity in recent years, is a good place for people in Xi'an to escape the summer heat and cool down. In addition to the quiet and beautiful "small forest" in summer, the autumn here is also exceptionally beautiful: the long Metasequoia Road, the tall thousand-year-old Ginkgo trees, the quiet Zhang Liang Ancient Temple, the secluded Qingwa Old Village, and my favorite Shizigou Ranch, everything is beautiful beyond imagination. Hubei.Fang County 6. 💞Fang County, located in the north of Shennongjia, has a mountainous landform similar to that of Shennongjia. The Savage Valley, Savage Cave, and villages deep in the dense forest are all shrouded in clouds and mist, creating a beautiful artistic conception of secluded mountains and wilderness.
