I can only say that the scenic area is very large and driving is relatively convenient. However, since we chartered a car, we were unable to go further after a certain point, which was really disappointing. We had to take the scenic bus instead. The scenic area is well-managed, no problem, but the experience was still not good. It's a two-hour drive from Baoji City. The weather is good, ranging from cool to cold. It's a good weekend trip, but this weekend it rained and was a bit cold. The cloudy weather made it impossible to take beautiful photos. The smell of cow, horse, and sheep manure was overwhelming, which was a lifesaver.
This was my second time at Guanshan Ranch, originally for the zipline. My kids had been there a few years ago and loved it, so now that they're grown, I wanted to try it again. Unexpectedly, the equipment is closed for maintenance until 2025. We each took a set of travel photos for Guanshan. The grasslands are photogenic, especially for the kids; every one is a masterpiece. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Guanshan Grassland and the herds of cattle and horses.
We found a small restaurant for lunch. It was really busy during peak season, so there was no shortage of customers, but the food was quite perfunctory. It was a bit overcast when we arrived, so the sun wasn't directly shining, but it was still very hot. We arrived at 10:40 AM and it was a cool 20 degrees.

The vastness of Shahu Lake, its emerald waves shimmering like a dreamlike mist. Swaying reeds resemble the graceful dance of green fairies. Sand and water intertwine, creating a wondrous natural landscape. Stepping into this landscape, your heart follows the scenery, forgetting the hustle and bustle of life, only tranquility and poetry surround you, inviting you to enjoy this idyllic paradise together.
The Shahu Lake is quite interesting and suitable for taking children to play. There are cute pets and swans to feed, and adults can play various amusement projects. The environment inside is also good. But the route is very long. You have to go around in a big circle. If you buy a ticket and don't want to play in the middle, you still have to walk around in a circle before you can go back. The service attitude inside is also average. It's a pity not to come here, but it's a bit so-so after coming here.

Yangling, a Han Dynasty scenic spot, is where the earliest tea and Go boards were discovered. In the evening breeze, the Han Dynasty mausoleum is bathed in the fading light. The Nanque Gate, built on the original site, not only protects the best-preserved Han Dynasty three-que site, but also reflects the glory of the past. The underground palace, built in the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, feels different from the Terracotta Army.
Only the eastern portion of the underground palace at Hanyang Mausoleum is open to the public. Admission to the lower underground palace is required, while the above-ground buildings are free. The underground palace is truly stunning and a must-see. After visiting the underground palace, there's also a nearby exhibition hall showcasing artifacts unearthed from the Hanyang Mausoleum. It's a must-see for history enthusiasts, as it's rich in artifacts.

The scenic area is very large, the scenery is really beautiful, and the photos are very good. It's just that the scenic bus ride takes a bit of time. I suggest you bring a thin down jacket if you go there on May Day. The train doesn't block the wind and it's too cold. It was a lesson learned from blood and tears. It's a pity that I didn't catch up to watch the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu performance. I will come again if I have the chance!
I went there by car with two friends. We had to park our car at the gate and buy tickets to take the scenic bus. The ride up the mountain took a long time. After going up, the huge alpine meadow was still spectacular. The layout of the scenic area was reasonable. The live performance of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu was worth seeing. Several children had a lot of fun riding horses. They returned to the stage several times and were reluctant to get off the horses.

I'm glad my notes are helpful. Below is my honest review of the Shaanxi Wave Valley Scenic Area, which I hope will provide further reference.
Shaanxi Wave Valley Scenic Area Review
Scenic Highlights:
Wave Valley is renowned for its unique geological formations. Long-term weathering and water erosion have created undulating rock formations resembling ocean waves, creating a spectacular and dynamic landscape. The rich, layered colors of the rocks are breathtaking, especially when illuminated by sunlight.
Suitable for:
From nature-loving photographers to families seeking relaxation, there's a spot here to delight everyone. The hiking trails are relatively gentle, making them suitable for most travelers, especially those with children or the elderly.
Experience:
In addition to admiring the unique rock formations, the scenic area also features unique leisure facilities, such as observation decks, walking trails, and small exhibition areas. It's recommended to plan your route in advance to fully experience every corner of the area.
Transportation and Facilities:
The scenic area is easily accessible, making it easy to drive or take a tour bus from the city center. The scenic area has fairly complete infrastructure, including restrooms, rest areas, and some simple dining options. However, it's recommended to bring some drinking water and snacks.
Notes:
The terrain is complex, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
Summer and autumn are the best times to visit; avoid peak season to better enjoy the tranquility of nature.
Please maintain cleanliness, avoid littering, and contribute to the preservation of this beautiful natural landscape.
Summary:
Shaanxi Wave Valley, with its unique geological landscape and beautiful natural environment, is a worthwhile tourist destination. Whether you're taking photos, strolling, or simply relaxing, you'll find plenty of enjoyment here. I hope my review will help you better plan your trip, and I look forward to seeing you!
It's so beautiful. You could spend a whole day exploring this attraction. It's even more beautiful when the sun comes out after a light rain. The road leading to the parking lot is currently under repair, so there's only a narrow dirt road, and they even charge a parking fee.

Yinchuan Mingcui Lake National Wetland Park covers a total area of more than 10,000 mu, including 8,000 mu of wetland and 2,000 mu of greening and other land. It is the largest natural wetland reserve in the eastern part of Yinchuan. Mingcui Lake has preserved its original natural features through returning farmland to lakes, closed-off management, and prohibiting grazing and hunting, creating a good ecological environment for bird resources and aquatic plants and animals, and maintaining the balance of natural ecology. There are rich vegetation and many birds here, including 109 species of vascular plants and 69 species of aquatic phytoplankton, mainly vegetation suitable for wetlands, such as weeping willows, angustifolia, amorpha, cattails, reeds, lotus, etc. There are 97 species of wild birds, such as the first-class national protected birds Great Bustard, Chinese Merganser, Black Stork, White-tailed Sea Eagle; 14 species of national second-class protected birds such as the Whooper Swan, Little Swan, Mandarin Duck, etc. Every spring and summer, thousands of birds live and breed here, making it a paradise for birds. At this time, you can row a boat in the reed maze, listen to the orioles singing, watch the reeds rustling, experience the mysterious thrill of the end of the mountain and the water, and the sudden enlightenment of a new village; or taste the natural flavor of the lotus, waterwheel, and Qianbu Corridor Bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. The design of Mingcui Lake is completely humanized and barrier-free. The sightseeing car and sightseeing boat are safe and pollution-free environmentally friendly transportation. Mingcui Lake has built ten scenic spots with cultural, interesting and rich ecological characteristics with lake water, reeds, lotus, flying birds and swimming fish: "Cars and water dispersing clouds" exhales mist, "Blue water floating lotus" plays with red trout. "Qianbu Corridor Bridge" is willow-colored, "Hundreds of birds singing green" chirp. "Reed flowers chasing the sun" fly white catkins, "Green yarn leaking the moon" is dotted with broken gold. "Maze to find herons" thousands of times, "White sand falling geese" three or five traces. "Green tent to ask for tea" is clear, "East dike sunset" is dark blue. Mingcui Lake, with its vast water body, beautiful natural environment and comfortable climate, attracts countless tourists to come here for sightseeing, maze exploration, fishing, boating and lotus picking, or chatting and laughing while looking at the reed flowers. People are intoxicated by the lake light, forget themselves in the reed color, cultivate their temperament, forget the hustle and bustle of the world, and enjoy themselves so much that they forget to leave.
- Natural landscape tour: enjoy the lotus bloom of "blue water lotus", stroll around the 500 mu lotus pond or take a boat to shuttle it; travel through the "maze of reeds" maze, experience the winding waterways and the fun of finding the sky; Climb the 53-meter-high viewing tower and overlook the beautiful scenery of the park through the high-powered telescope. - Cultural experience: visit the Wetland Science and Culture Center to learn about wetland culture, fish ecology, plant ecology, bird ecology and other knowledge; Watch the Yellow River waterwheel of "cheshui and clouds" and feel the simplicity and majesty of Yellow River culture. -Entertainment and leisure: experience water projects such as tidal rafting rivers and spiral slides in Mingcui Lake Water World; Participate in the expansion of water plum piles and other expansion sports in the land expansion training base and the land and land fun expansion base; you can also choose leisure activities such as rowing and fishing.

The Yunqiu Mountain Ice Caves are one of the world's three greatest ice cave wonders, formed during the Quaternary glacial period and boasting a history of over three million years. Entering the caves is like stepping into a crystal fairytale world, a truly breathtaking experience. The scenic area boasts a tranquil and quaint ancient village, and vibrant performances.
It is worthy of being a 5A-level scenic spot, it is very, very beautiful. Shenxianyu, Talpo Ancient Village, and the ice cave group are definitely worth visiting. I think it is the most fun place in Linfen, and the cost-effectiveness is also very high.

It is very worthwhile to go, and the amount of water is particularly large, which is very shocking. It is really worth the trip. The only two reminders are that it is best to have a raincoat, otherwise there will be too much mud, and the second is that the gate is a bit far from the scenic area, which is really a complaint. But overall, it is still highly recommended.
The scenery is really nice. It is a good place worth visiting. You can enjoy the natural scenery and play entertainment activities. There is food when you are hungry and drinks when you are thirsty. You don’t need to prepare too much. I suggest you make an appointment with friends to take a trip on a whim!

A good choice for a day trip. The autumn scenery is also good. It's just that we went a little late and the autumn scenery was almost over. I remember that the e-ticket seemed to be a little cheaper than buying it on site.
Take a bus to Zhongtai and then climb to the top of Xiangshan Mountain. The main attractions are concentrated in this section. The difficulty is moderate, though some sections are quite steep. This section, with both walking and climbing, takes three hours.

I stayed in Linfen and the navigation was wrong. I came to Hukou Waterfall on the Shaanxi side and felt a little dizzy. The scenic area is good overall. The car was parked at the visitor center and the bus was taken to the waterfall. The Shaanxi side is basically parallel to the waterfall and slightly downward.
Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a Chinese wonder worth a once-in-a-lifetime visit. It's recommended to view it from either Shaanxi or Shanxi Province. From the Shaanxi side, traditional buildings are dotted with scattered red flags. Shaanxi offers magnificent views of Hukou, with its cascading rock formations along the shore. Stand by the river and marvel at the cascading, geometric structure of the waterfall.
Ke Zhenliang leaped over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, watched by millions. A sculpture commemorates his impossible feat.
