Qingmuguan Ancient Town | Yunnan is too far, feel free to rush around Xi'an

| Yunnan is too far, feel free to rush around Xi'an.🌟If you have visited too many commercialized ancient towns and are aesthetically fatigued, Qingmuguan, located at the westernmost part of Shaanxi and at the junction of Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Gansu, is still worth a visit. Especially for the treasures of Xi'an and northern Sichuan, you only need a weekend to enjoy the ancient town walk surrounded by green mountains and rivers. 🎢Transportation: It is recommended to take the high-speed rail for weekend trips. Departing from Xi'an, the high-speed rail can reach Ningqiang South Station or Sichuan Guangyuan Station within 2 hours. Then you can take a taxi or bus to the ancient town. We traveled during the National Day holiday, had more time, so we chose to drive by ourselves, not in a hurry along the way plus service area rest, and took a detour from Guangyuan, it took six or seven hours to arrive. There is an hour and a half on the mountain road, the scenery is very beautiful! 🏠Accommodation: We stayed directly in the inn on the main pedestrian street of the ancient town. The inn is average, but the facilities are complete, and the standard room is 350 per night during the National Day holiday. 🍜Food: The special snacks here are fried small fish and fried hawthorn leaves, walnut buns, ten yuan a box, quite oily. The main meal is fish, there are a lot of stone pot fish and barrel fish. ps: The bamboo tube milk tea in the scenic area is a bit hard to drink, it's peach oolong made with a tea bag and a squirt of cream, 28 yuan, I took the bamboo tube home as a pen holder. 🌅Scenery: The scenery of the ancient town is more worth seeing than the commercial street of the ancient town. Streams crisscross, at the foot of the green mountains, everywhere is fragrant with osmanthus, and the eyes are full of green. Be sure to go to the viewing platform! Climb a small hill and overlook the entire ancient town. ⭐Culture: I went to Wei's Mansion and learned about the story of Wei Futang here. It is said that Qingmuguan is the prototype of Fenglei Town in the TV series 'A Generation of Heroes', and the local emperor He Futang played by Sun Honglei is the owner of Wei's Mansion, Wei Futang. ❤In addition to a period of Republic of China legend story, this is also a place where Qiang and Han people live together, that is, the 'Qiang' in 'Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows', but the travel photography costumes in the town look like Miao's...
