2024 Yulin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

The Zhenbei Terrace

North of Yulin city, Shaanxi province is a historical masterpiece well worth visiting. Located on the summit of the Red Mountain, Zhenbeitai Terrace is the historical testimony of the favorable peripheral environment between Mongolian people and Han people during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644). Zhenbei Terrace is just what the name implies: holding the north in awe. It is the largest watch tower of the Ming Great Wall, from which you can see the beacon fires and the partly hidden and partly visible earthen ruins of the Wall. #zhenbei #yulin #shaanxi

Shaanxi Yulin | Travel Guide: Romance and Wonders of the Loess Plateau.

💥From Yan'an North, arrived in Yulin I never imagined that this land, once full of wind and sand, would be so vibrant and green today. As the first city to control desertification, it has indeed witnessed the efforts and struggles of generations, which deserves respect. There are not many attractions in Yulin, but they are all very photogenic. After selecting photos, I realized I forgot about Bo Lang Valley, Red Stone Gorge, and Zhenbei Platform. I decided to write another article to detail them. 📍Ma Huang Liang Geological Park Ticket🎫: Free, Parking: Free Walking around the park is about 8km. You can choose to take a sightseeing bus for 26 yuan per person. It will stop at two locations: the filming location of Dragon Ridge Labyrinth and Tiger Plateau. Recently, the Ma Huang Liang Museum is not open, which is a pity. ps: Today, I experienced the unpredictable climate of the Loess Plateau. It rained heavily🌧️, then there was a strong wind💨, and then the sun shone brightly. Remember to bring some equipment, otherwise it will be very embarrassing. 📸Photo tips: Stand on a high place, use a wide-angle lens, and take photos at will. 🏯Ming Great Wall Leaving Ma Huang Liang, on the way to Gaojiabao, we encountered many other forts and ancient Great Wall sites. Basically, every small mound is a beacon tower left over from the Ming Great Wall. Those who are interested can take a look. 🏰Gaojiabao Ticket🎫: Free. Parking🅿️: Free. Filming location of Ordinary World, this ancient town has a long history and rich cultural heritage. It is about 500 years old. There is a newly built Shimao Ruins site nearby, which can also be visited. However, it closes at 17:00, so remember to manage your time well. 💡Tips: Yulin is located on the Loess Plateau, with a dry climate. Remember to bring sunscreen and moisturizer! It's really dry!

#historicallandmarks Yulin city

Shaanbei, beautiful Shaanbei.

Shaanbei cave dwellings are a unique form of residential architecture on the Loess Plateau in northern China. The main advantage of cave dwellings is that they are warm in winter and cool in summer. Cave dwellings are mainly built by taking advantage of the characteristics of loess, and arch-shaped spaces are excavated in the thick loess layer. From the appearance, there are cliff-style cave dwellings (excavated on natural soil cliffs), sunken cave dwellings (a square pit is dug on the flat ground, and then the cave dwellings are excavated on the pit wall), and other forms. The internal facilities generally have a kang, which is a place for sleeping and heating, and is heated by burning firewood and other methods. The doors and windows of the cave dwellings are also very particular, and there are usually exquisite paper-cuts for decoration. This architectural form reflects the full use of local natural environment and resources by the people of Shaanbei and is an important carrier of local folk culture.

The largest cliffside stone carving in northern Shaanxi | Hongshi Gorge

| Hongshi Gorge. Hongshi Gorge, the largest cliffside stone carving in northern Shaanxi||| Hongshi Gorge Scenic Area, also known as Xiongshi Gorge. It is located 3 kilometers north of Yulin, Shaanxi. The Hongshi Gorge is about 350 meters long, with cliffs facing each other from east to west. The eastern cliff is dotted with stone caves of various sizes, while the western cliff is mostly covered with stone carvings. The stone caves in Hongshi Gorge have been almost completely destroyed, and the statues inside the caves are newly made with low craftsmanship. The cliffside stone carvings are relatively well preserved. In the past, border generals and literati who came to Yulin often gathered at Xiongshan Temple to drink and compose poems, leaving behind more than 160 precious calligraphy works. The largest characters are about 6 meters tall, while the smallest are only a few inches. The calligraphy includes seal script, clerical script, regular script, running script, and cursive script, all with vigorous and strong strokes. Among the inscriptions is a couplet written by Zuo Zongtang, a famous general of the late Qing Dynasty. According to historical records, Hongshi Gorge originally had 44 caves, which contained stone statues, clay sculptures, relief stone carvings, and inscription steles, mostly created during the Ming Dynasty. However, they were all destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, leaving almost nothing behind. Currently, only 33 stone caves remain, all in a dilapidated state. The larger caves include Shengmu Hall, Daxiong Hall, Guanyin Hall, Shifo Hall, Yuanjue Hall, Sleeping Buddha Hall, Ciren Hall, Xiaoxumi Hall, and Yuanqin Hall. Except for some caves where new statues have been made, all murals and inscriptions have disappeared. In April or May of 1929, the Northern Shaanxi Special Committee of the Communist Party of China held its second expanded meeting here, attended by more than 30 people including Liu Zhidan, Ma Mingfang, Liu Lantao, and Jia Tuofu. This meeting, known as the Hongshi Gorge Meeting, pointed out the direction for the activities of the party organization in northern Shaanxi and has significant historical importance.

A journey

Each of us exists Just to shine for ourselves To me, the meaning of travel has always been a journey to broaden one's horizons and mind The best persona to adopt in life is to be oneself, making every effort to Be happy, and to make others happy is more important than anything. Each of us exists, just to shine for ourselves. Our love, hidden deep within our hearts, if it cannot be expressed in words, then let actions speak for it. The sunset glow is the river's eccentricity, innocence is the youth's standard. Only when we grow up do we realize that there aren't that many superpowers, they are just yourself. After a day's hustle, lying flat is the most healing moment!

Yulin Hongshixia

The filming location of the movie 'Ashes of Time', the largest cliff inscription group in Shaanxi, with inscriptions left by the late Qing dignitary Zuo Zongtang. Hongshixia is located 3 kilometers north of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, and only 5 kilometers from the Yulin city center. The canyon is about 350 meters long, with the east cliff standing about 11.5 meters high and the west cliff 13 meters high, facing each other in a steep and majestic manner. The Yuxi River flows through the canyon directly to the west of the city. In ancient times, literati, inkmen, and even military generals stationed in Yulin liked to inscribe on the cliffs of Hongshixia to express their bold aspirations and ambitions of the frontier, making Hongshixia a treasure trove of Great Wall calligraphy art. From the content of the inscriptions, one can see the status of Yulin as the 'Nine Frontier Towns' in ancient times. In addition, one can also appreciate the cave art from the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Mahuangliang Loess Geopark

"Dragon Ridge Mystery Cave" - Mahuangliang really scored high Mahuangliang Loess Geopark, note the emphasis - admission is free! The desolation and thickness of the Loess Plateau are given an added sense of mystery by the endless ravines visible here, perfectly fitting the atmosphere of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost Caverns". Repeat the key point: Admission is free! Choose a chartered car from the city center, 500 yuan for a round trip. Although the geopark does not charge an entrance fee, there is a fee for the sightseeing car within the scenic area, 28 yuan per person. I heard that there are not many stops for the sightseeing car tour (one of the stops is the filming location for "Dragon Ridge Mystery Cave"), so we chose to get off the car halfway through the loop and walk back. There are very few people walking along the way, but the scenery along the way is really suitable for a slow walk, slowly feeling the shock that the years and the world have achieved together - loess peak forests, high gorges and flat lakes, blood-colored hills... The scenery changes, but all are spectacular enough to exclaim. Occasionally, you see some abandoned cave dwellings on the mountain ridges, and it's really hard to imagine what it feels like to live here. Anyway, this sparsely populated and free geopark can be said to be a treasure find of the Yulin trip, feasting one's eyes on the diverse landscapes of the loess land. Yulin·Shaanxi

Enhanced National Day Travel at the Great Wall's One of the Three Wonders - Zhenbeitai

National Day travel to Yulin, let me introduce a great place to enhance your National Day travel experience - Zhenbeitai. Zhenbeitai is located on the top of Hongshan, about 4 kilometers north of the city center in Yuyang District, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, and is also the first choice for weekend getaways. Zhenbeitai was a product of the 'Longqing Negotiations' and 'Peaceful Border Trade' during the Ming Dynasty, serving as a historical witness to the 'Mongol-Han Unity' and the creation of a peaceful border environment. It was mainly used to monitor the tribute trade situation along the Great Wall. When you climb up to Zhenbeitai and look out, you will surely be captivated by the distant landscape, making you hesitate to leave. Zhenbeitai was built on the summit of Hongshan, north of Yulin City, occupying a strategic position overlooking the surrounding area, controlling the throat of the north and south. It is one of the most magnificent and imposing structures among the Ming Great Wall relics, and together with Shanhaiguan and Jiayuguan, it is known as one of the three wonders of the Great Wall. Historians have praised it as the 'Number One Terrace of the Great Wall'. In the thirty-fifth year of the Wanli era (1607), the governor of Yansui, Tu Zongjun (a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi), built Zhenbeitai at the southwest corner of Kuangong City to facilitate the observation of enemy situations and border trade. The two-story structure has stone plaques inscribed by Tu Zongjun himself on the south and north sides, reading 'Xiangming' and 'Zhenbeitai', expressing the loyalty of the border guards to the Ming court, thereby further demonstrating the might of the great northern frontier.

Check out the 'Monument Forest on the Frontier' for a worthwhile cultural journey!

Hongshi Gorge got its name in 1472 when the Ming Dynasty's Yansui Governor dug canals through the red mountains to prevent water bandits from robbing the Mongolian and Han civilians. Over the centuries, numerous scholars, poets, and military generals have come to Hongshi Gorge to inscribe their inscriptions, expressing their heroic aspirations while stationed at the frontier. More than 160 inscriptions from various dynasties have been preserved to this day, collectively known as the 'Monument Forest on the Frontier'.

Wuliang Temple, a holy place where Buddhism and Taoism converge

Wuliang Temple in Yulin was established in the Ming Dynasty. It is a temple where Buddhism and Taoism are integrated. It has been renovated many times. It was destroyed by war in the last century. In 1986, believers raised funds to rebuild it at the original site, which is the scale of Wuliang Temple today. Today's visit did not see the flow of incense guests, only a few old people silently sweeping, seeing me wandering around alone did not care, only reminded me of the order of worshiping Buddha. I wanted to chat with them more, hoping to get more historical stories, but unfortunately there were language barriers, so I had to give up. Without the crowd, the temple is more quiet, only the faint Sanskrit advising the world is heard. Walking among them, the worldly matters seem more vulgar! Bus No. 4 and No. 6 can reach.
