Traveling all over Shaanxi | Weinan Travel Guide

Weinan, as a county name, started in the second year of Ganlu of Fu Jian of the Former Qin Dynasty (360 AD), named after the county seat is located south of the Wei River. The Chinese nation, also known as "Huaxia", originated from Weinan: "Hua" refers to Mount Hua, and "Xia" refers to "Xiayang", specifically referring to the narrow region stretching across this area. The civilization that emerged from here is the "Huaxia Civilization", so Weinan is also known as the "Root of Huaxia". "Zhonghua" and "Huaxia"'s "Hua" both come from Mount Hua. The master of Chinese studies, Zhang Taiyan, said in his article "The Explanation of the Republic of China in the First Compilation of Taiyan's Writings": "The land of Yongzhou ends at Huayin in the southeast. The land of Liangzhou ends at Huayang in the northeast. It is based on Mount Hua to determine the limit, and the name of its territory is Hua, which is the origin. The places where people later went to are all over the nine provinces... The name of Hua began to be wide at this time. Hua is the name of the country, not the name of the race, but now it has become a common language". Archaeology has confirmed that the Miaodigou culture of the Yangshao period is the "earliest China in the cultural sense". The Miaodigou culture, with Mount Hua as the center, expanded to the surrounding areas, constructing the integration and unification of China five thousand years ago. Famous figures Three Saints and Three Sages: The three saints refer to the word saint Cangjie, the wine saint Du Kang, and the history saint Sima Qian; the three sages refer to the famous Song Dynasty prime minister Kou Zhun, the Tang Dynasty general Zhang Renyuan, and the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi. One-day tour itinerary 1. Weinan Old Street: This is a newly built cultural food city It is on the old site of Weinan County. 2.

Weinan Old City Street: Water basin mutton, small bridge sweet rice wine, oil cake, tofu bubble, Pucheng buns, pulled noodles, pepper soup and other special foods gather, there is also a farmers' market nearby 4.

Xi'an Surrounding Tour - Shaohua Mountain in Autumn

Shaohua Mountain in autumn is like a palette of colors. The maple leaves are as red as fire, the ginkgo leaves are dazzling yellow, and the pines and cypresses are still green. The colors are intertwined and look beautiful. Walking in the mountains, the golden fallen leaves under your feet make a "creaking" sound, which is very pleasant. 🍁 Take a sightseeing bus from the visitor center to the lower station of the cableway, and take the cableway up the mountain to save a lot of energy. There are several viewing platforms on the mountain, where you can enjoy the autumn scenery of the whole mountain and see the sea of clouds ☁️. The glass plank road is very photogenic. Now is the best time to enjoy the red leaves. It's so beautiful! 🍁 PS: It is windy on the mountain, so remember to bring an extra piece of clothing. There are snacks in the scenic area, which are a little expensive. It is also necessary to bring some snacks and water. The queue time for the cableway is too long, at least 2 hours for a one-way trip. You must patiently reserve enough time for the cableway to go back and forth for 5 hours. I'm not exaggerating.

Climbing to the peak of Qinling Mountains, starting a new camping experience

Recently, Xi'an has entered sauna mode, with air conditioning and watermelons becoming standard. But the breeze and beautiful scenery in the mountains are more desirable. This week we went to Shaohua Mountain, which is an hour's drive from Xi'an. Compared to the steepness of Huashan, I prefer the calm and tranquil temperament of Shaohua Mountain. The entire climb is relatively easy, and you can choose the cable car 🚡/ shuttle bus 🚗. ▫️ Playing in Shimen Gorge ▫️ Fun watermelon eating contest ▫️ Ascending Shaohua Mountain by cableway ▫️ Excellent view at Canglong Yunhai Square ▫️ Thrilling Panlong Plank Road ▫️ Walking in the clouds at Longshou Pavilion After reaching the top, we found the blue sky and white clouds within reach, with a panoramic view of the rolling mountains. The 7th Alpine Starry Sky Camping Festival is being held at the top. With the starry sky as the curtain and tents as the camp, enjoy the sunset and starry sky 🌃. The atmosphere at the live music concert 🎼 and open-air movie 🎞️ is fantastic. I really like this pure and refreshing feeling of being in nature. Shaohua Mountain is a treasure trove for escaping the summer heat. I stand by Shaohua Mountain for this wave!

Although Shaanxi has many ancient towers, this one is the easiest to overlook

Starting from Weinan, we drove all the way to Hancheng. We made a special detour to Xiagui Town just to visit an ancient tower—the Huizhao Temple Tower. Xiagui Town, like many towns and villages in China, looks quite desolate, with no bustling market atmosphere at all. You can hardly see any pedestrians on the road, and most of the households in the town have their doors closed, which is probably a stark contrast to the prosperity of a thousand years ago. · Huizhao Temple is quite easy to find, standing in a prominent position in the town. However, most of the temple buildings are newly built, with a scale different from that of the town, looking magnificent. But inside, there are no pilgrims or monks, making it exceptionally quiet. The Huizhao Temple Tower we wanted to visit, along with the Buddha Hall under the tower, is hidden behind the newly built main hall, so low-key that it feels like a completely different world. · According to the 'Reconstruction Record of Huizhao Temple Tower in Xiagui Town,' the Huizhao Temple Tower was first built in the second year of Xianping during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty (999). It was intermittently constructed for nearly three hundred years and was completed during the Taiding period of the Yuan Dynasty (1323-1328). It was destroyed in the 'Huazhou Earthquake' in the thirty-fourth year of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1555) and was rebuilt from the ninth to the twelfth year of the Wanli period (1581-1584). Therefore, the Huizhao Temple Tower we see today should accurately be considered a Ming Dynasty tower. · At first glance, the Huizhao Temple Tower is very tall, with an introduced height of 36 meters. Although it does not stand out next to the newly built main hall, it would definitely be considered a typical 'high tower rising from the ground' in ancient times. The Huizhao Temple Tower has nine floors, with each side of the tower body made to resemble a three-bay wooden structure, with brick hidden columns supporting small eaves and dougong brackets. The tower top is a flat brick spire with a copper finial in the shape of a vase, which was once missing but has been restored through repairs. · The south side of the ground floor has an arched door, with each corner of the tower wall supporting a stone-carved Vajra warrior. From the second floor upwards, each side has an arched window in the central bay, with overlapping eaves and dentils between the floors. The lintel of the ground floor door is carved with two dragons playing with a pearl and auspicious beasts like a qilin, with a couplet in regular script on stone carvings on both sides: 'Clouds protect the heavens, teaching the image, and the dragon coils for ten thousand kalpas, establishing the imperial map.' On the east side of the door, embedded in the wall, is a stone tablet from the ninth year of the Wanli period, recording the reconstruction of the Huizhao Temple Tower. When walking around the tower, you can take a closer look at the inscriptions on both sides of the lintel, which are also interesting. · The Buddha Hall under the tower was rebuilt during the Republic of China period, with a five-bay hard mountain style. Although the exterior is overly low-key, according to the introduction, the five bronze statues inside have an extraordinary origin. They are all Ming Dynasty bronze Buddhas, about 2 meters high, sitting on lotus platforms. Perhaps due to the dim lighting inside the hall, the five bronze Buddhas inside and the photos of the original five bronze Buddhas posted outside look quite different. It is unclear whether the ones inside the hall are the originals. · Climbing up the newly built monk quarters next to it, we unexpectedly discovered a church outside the wall, which looks quite historical. However, we couldn't find any related introduction, so we don't know whether it is an old building or a new one. · 🏠Name | Huizhao Temple Tower 🎫Tickets | Free ⛳Address | Xiagui Town, Linwei District, Weinan City 🚗Transportation | Self-drive navigation to 'Huizhao Temple' will do

Caolian Ridge

Caolian Ridge, with its main peak at an altitude of 2646 meters, is located at the border of Luonan and Huazhou in Shaanxi Province. It is the highest peak of the eastern Qinling Mountains (Huashan Mountain Range) and faces the Western Sacred Mountain, Huashan, from afar. It is 100 kilometers away from Xi'an. On Saturday, we set off from Xi'an early in the morning, heading for Heizhang Platform. Taking the Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway, it took us over two hours to get there. Following the narrow village road to the end, we reached the parking lot. On the weekend, we were blessed with good weather. There were quite a few people. It is said that there were more than two hundred people camping on the mountain last night. After getting ready, we set off. There are two routes up Caolian Ridge: the water route and the dry route. It is said that the water route is quite challenging, and not recommended for beginners. We took the dry route. The path was decent, a narrow sheep trail leading straight up through the woods, which was also quite cool. Later on, it was all about gaining altitude, struggling to climb on the dirt road mixed with gravel and rocks, which was also breath-taking. Before, I had seen a video of a donkey saying it was very easy, reaching the meadow in two and a half hours. But it took us four hours 😂, a true hero doesn't dwell on past glories 😀. We met a young couple who came up the water route, taking two hours longer than us 😂, saying the climb was devastating 😄. One of them refused to go any further. 😂😂 No more words needed, from the meadow to the summit, the beautiful meadow, the scenery was boundless, as if we had arrived in Xinjiang 😄. So beautiful, yes! ✌ Why go to Xinjiang when you can come to Caolian Ridge? The round trip of this hike took nine hours. We got down to the parking lot at eight o'clock in the evening. We returned at night. You can choose according to your own physical condition. Many young people climb at night 😄🤗

Weinan's few old buildings, turned into a museum, are quite a surprise

【Weinan's few old buildings, turned into a museum, are quite a surprise】 In the old town of Weinan, besides the Drum Tower, there is one more ancient relic, which is the Dacheng Hall of Weinan Confucian Temple. It is said that the Weinan Confucian Temple was built during the Tang Dynasty, supervised by Yu Chi Jingde, and was destroyed in the 'Huazhou Earthquake' in the 34th year of the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty (1556), which caused damage to most of the cultural relics in Shaanxi. It was rebuilt during the Wanli era and again in the third year of Chongzhen (1630), and now only the Dacheng Hall remains, which is currently the site of the Linwei District Museum. Walking from the old street to this place, I saw the sign of the Linwei District Museum above the facade of a very ordinary shop. Having experienced the Weinan Museum, I expected this place to mainly feature introductory panels without many cultural relics, but it turned out to be quite a surprise. Upon entering the courtyard, the Dacheng Hall is immediately in sight. Although it is the only part remaining, one can still feel its past splendor. The Dacheng Hall faces south with a northward orientation, its roof covered with glazed tube tiles and decorated ridges. The interior is lined with adobe, and the exterior is wrapped with green bricks. The platform is built with bricks, and the edges are pressed with strip stones. According to the 'Weinan County Annals', Tang Dynasty great poets such as Bai Juyi, Jia Dao, Liu Yuxi, and Qian Qi had visited the Weinan Confucian Temple. After all, Weinan, being the 'important pass of Sanqin and the thoroughfare of eight provinces', also had its moments of glory. During the Republic of China period, like most Confucian temples, it became the Weinan County High School, and the former site of the CPC Weinan County Committee was here, which was also one of the revolutionary bases. The fact that the Dacheng Hall has been preserved is probably an important factor. The doors of the Dacheng Hall are tightly closed, and through the cracks, one can see the clutter piled inside, completely lacking the imagined picture introductions. The courtyard behind is filled with hitching posts, and there is also a stele corridor, housing many stone carvings and steles. Unfortunately, they are covered with glass and difficult to photograph. My favorite is a huge evil-warding stone carving, which should be a statue from a large tomb, also without any introduction. To me, this place has no semblance of a museum. Such a large building is left unused; even if some exquisite stone carvings were moved inside and some picture introductions of Linwei District's history were made, it would be better. Indeed, it is the most uninteresting museum I have ever seen. 【Name】: Weinan Confucian Temple Dacheng Hall 【Era】: Ming 【Status】: Fourth batch of provincial key 【Location】: Old City Street, Xiangyang Sub-district Office, Linwei District, Weinan City

The first seal of China, it's here

Wei Nan Museum is the only place I thought was worth visiting in Wei Nan city. The museum indeed covers a large area, but lacks uniqueness. The museum mainly follows the theme of 'Suitable with China', linking the stories of Wei Nan over the years. My previous understanding of Wei Nan was only about Mount Hua. 'Suitable with China' comes from the tile decorations found at the Han Emperor's Ling Palace at the foot of Mount Hua, which means seeking a state of balance and harmony. Here, the word 'Hua' narrowly refers to 'Mount Hua', which is also the origin of China and Huaxia. Wei Nan is the throat of the Central Plains region to Shaanxi and even the Northwest, known as the 'Three Qin Key Road, Eight Provinces Thoroughfare', but I have always had a weak perception of this city. After visiting the museum, I realized how glorious it was. After all, the most glorious dynasties of China were all important places in its vicinity. Da Yu cut open the Dragon Gate of the Yellow River here, and the love story of King Wen was spread here. There are nine of the eighteen imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty in its territory. In history, there have been 6 emperors, 80 prime ministers, and more than 300 generals. The famous ones include three saints: Cang Jie, the saint of characters, Du Kang, the saint of wine, and Sima Qian, the saint of history; three wise men: Kou Zhun, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Renyuan, a general of the Tang Dynasty, and Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Wang Jian, a general of the Qin Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jie, a top scholar of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Ding, who recommended Lin Zexu to ban smoking, Xi Zhongxun, a leader of the party and the state, and Yang Hucheng, a patriotic general, are all famous. Here, the most complete early Homo sapiens fossil found in the country so far, the skull fossil of 'Da Li Man' from about 200,000 years ago, and the fine pottery eagle respect of Yangshao culture (of course, neither of these two originals are in Wei Nan Museum) have been unearthed. Although the cultural relics in the museum are average, the exhibition hall lists the major events, celebrities, and cultural relic protection units of each era at the end of each period, which is indeed good. In my opinion, the more interesting cultural relics in the museum are: 1. The Shang Dynasty dragon button four-god pattern jade seal, known as the first seal of China, is the earliest jade seal unearthed in our country, and also the earliest seal unearthed in Shaanxi so far. 2. The heavy ring pattern gui, showing the glory and boldness of the Rui Kingdom. 3. Shang Dynasty gold earrings and gold headwear. 4. Shang Dynasty bronze mask. 5. The 'Suitable with China' tile decoration of the Western Han Dynasty. 6. Han Dynasty gilt bronze hollow incense burner on dragon seat. 【Name】: Wei Nan City Museum 【Status】: National Second-Class Museum 【Location】: South side of the west section of Le Tian Street, Wei Nan City Wei Nan Museum

Huizhao Temple and Huizhao Temple Pagoda in Weinan, Shaanxi

Huizhao Temple Pagoda, also known as Xiabang Pagoda, is located in Huizhao Temple, Xiabang Town, Linwei District, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, and was built in the second year of Xianping of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty (999). The Huizhao Temple Pagoda has nine floors and is 36 meters high. The base of the tower is square, with a side length of 6.6 meters. Each side of the tower body is made of three imitation wood structures, with brick hidden pillars, supporting small eaves and brackets. The south side of the bottom layer has a ticket gate, and each corner of the tower wall supports a stone-carved Vajra warrior; from the second floor, each side has a ticket window, with layers of eaves stacked and serrated, and diamond corners and teeth are applied. The top of the tower is flat and pointed with bricks, and a treasure bottle-shaped copper shackle is placed. The bottom layer door lintel is carved with two dragons playing with pearls and kirin auspicious beasts, and the sides are carved with regular script couplets. There is still a five-room hall built in the Ming Dynasty and repaired in the Qing Dynasty in front of the tower. On March 5, 2013, the Huizhao Temple Pagoda was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The ancient tower is also known as the Copper Buddha Temple, which was built in the Jin Dynasty, and was added and repaired in the Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan Dynasties. In the 34th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1555 AD), the building was destroyed in the Guanzhong earthquake. The resident monks vowed to be grand, and after four years, they rebuilt the hall and dormitory in 1559 and cast five new copper Buddha statues. After experiencing wind and rain, wars and other disasters, the halls were destroyed again in the Qing Dynasty. In the early years of the Republic of China, a five-room hard mountain-style Copper Buddha Hall (the current Daxiong Hall) was rebuilt in front of the tower, with a building area of about 190 square meters. Inside the hall are five Ming Dynasty copper Buddhas, about 2 meters high. The middle one is Sakyamuni Buddha, the east is the Disaster Relief and Longevity Medicine Buddha, the west is Amitabha Buddha, the far east is Maitreya Bodhisattva, and the far west is Guanyin Bodhisattva. The shape is solemn, the expression is compassionate, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all sit cross-legged on the lotus platform, with three layers of lotus flowers. Each petal of the three central lotus platforms has a small Buddha statue with different postures, which is elegant and beautiful. It is not only a cultural relic treasure in the five provinces of the northwest, but also a rare treasure in the country.

A great place to watch icefalls, play in the snow, and ice skate

A place to watch icefalls and play in the snow, with few people, beautiful scenery, and easy paths! There are four icefalls in this place! You can see two of them just by taking the ferry, and if you go further in, you can see a particularly large one, and even further in, there is a slender icefall. There are also two ice lakes along the way, the surfaces of which are blue and very beautiful! This place is the Shimenxia Scenic Area of Shaohua Mountain National Forest Park. The whole section doesn't require much climbing, and it's not tiring to walk. The staff of the scenic area will also maintain the roads, so they're not particularly slippery. This path is all in the canyon, along a small river. The sun can't shine in, and the snow outside has melted, but there is still a lot of snow here. You can see the river flowing under the ice, which is very impressive! A new snow play area has also been built inside. It wasn't officially open when we went, but it made several adults very happy! The ticket and ferry cost only about 30 to 40 yuan, which is not very expensive. The inside is quite long. We didn't go to the very end and just returned. It's very suitable for friends who don't know where to go with their kids on weekends! Attention!!! Be sure to pay attention to safety and take protective measures.

The room is standard and the facilities are sincere (Weinan)

Originally I wanted to go to the newly opened one, but in the end I was attracted by the soft decoration of this one, which has a bit of an Intercontinental feel. The experience afterwards is that ☞ the room can only be said to be standard, with full-fledged facilities and service awareness First of all, the room, the area is the standard area of the same grade hotel, the soft decoration looks okay from a distance, but the texture is quite ordinary up close, the sanitary ware is toto, but it is the lower end, the free toiletries look very simple in packaging. There are no smart facilities, for hotels that opened after 2020, it seems a bit unfashionable. There are no welcome fruit plates and other gifts, the drinks are just two ordinary bottles of Nongfu Spring, the main thing is thrift You get what you pay for, after all, the price of around 400 is normal. On the contrary, other aspects are much better than the room. The gym is quite large, not inferior to some big brand five-star hotels, you need to walk through the underground parking lot from the main building, it seems to also be open to the outside, there are a few people scattered around on weekday mornings, private teaching services are provided, there are several rooms according to different projects, and there is also an indoor swimming pool, but it is under repair, the facilities are all new. The breakfast variety is rich, the taste is also commendable, it is also top-notch at this price The service attitude is also great, there is a welcome at the door, from the front desk to the cleaning are polite Overall, the experience is okay, the facilities are very sufficient, of course, if you don't need these, the wonderfulness may have to be discounted

Shaohua Mountain Forest Park

Shaohua Mountain National Forest Park is located about 5 kilometers southeast of Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province, at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, with a total area of about 6300 hectares. The altitude ranges from 600 to 2000 meters, and it is composed of five major scenic spots: Qianlong Temple, Shaohua Peak, Hongya Lake, Shimen Gorge, and Dense Forest Valley. Shaohua Mountain is not only a famous Taoist mountain in China, but also a sister mountain of Xiyue Huashan. Because it is connected to Xiyue Huashan and faces each other from a distance, it is called 'Erhua', but it is lower than Huashan, so it is named Shaohua Mountain, also known as Xiaohua Mountain. Shaohua Mountain has a long history, and there are related records in the 'Shan Hai Jing' formed during the Warring States Period. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was a tourist attraction. Scientists like Zhang Heng came here to visit and left poems and texts. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Taoist Chen Tuan also practiced here.
