A cool little county town, perfect for a summer getaway.

Summer in Xi'an is scorching hot, but Taibai County is a great place to escape the heat. Recently, we left the crowded Xi'an and went to this underrated treasure town! Taibai County is at a high altitude, 6–7 degrees cooler than Xi'an. It's a must-visit in summer. It's a natural oxygen bar with super fresh air! 🌟Main attractions: 🔹Huangbaiyuan: About 1.5 hours' drive from Taibai County, with mountain and forest scenery along the way and fresh air. 🔹Stone City Scenic Area: The roads are not easy to walk, with mossy and rocky paths. You can stop and play in the water. 🔹Qingfeng Gorge: Tickets are 88, and the scenic area bus is 35 (5 km of mountain roads, so it's necessary to take the bus). After entering the scenic area, walk about 500 meters to a zoo. It's very cool inside. At the highest point, you can see a waterfall pouring down from the sky. It's nice. ✅3-day, 2-night itinerary: 🔹Day 1: Arrive in Taibai County in the morning and check in to the hotel. After lunch, head to Huangbaiyuan to enjoy the natural scenery. Have dinner with local farm dishes. 🔹Day 2: Visit Stone City Scenic Area in the morning to explore its unique geological structure. 🔹Day 3: Enjoy nature at Qingfeng Gorge in the morning, then prepare to return in the afternoon. ✅Food recommendations: Taibai black fungus, Taibai walnut cake, Taibai potato cake, Taibai honey, Taibai chestnuts, etc. are all delicious and worth trying. ✅Accommodation recommendations: You can stay in a homestay near the scenic area or a hotel in the county. There are also budget options. ✅Transportation: ✈️Plane: Fly to Xi'an Xianyang International Airport and transfer to other transportation. 🚄Train/High-speed rail: Take a train to Baoji South Station and transfer to a car. 🚎Bus: Take a bus from Baoji and surrounding areas to Taibai County. 📝Travel tips: 🔹The temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is large, so bring warm clothes. 🔹Mountain roads are difficult to drive, so control your speed. It's not friendly to those who get carsick, especially on the way down. Prepare in advance. 🔹Wear water shoes or non-slip shoes when playing in the water in the scenic area. 🔹Pay attention to hygiene and adapt to local tastes when trying local food.
