Felicia Qu Borg: The hotel looks good overall, but the location is a bit remote, with nothing nearby. The room was quite large, though the bathroom sink was a bit small. The front desk staff was very friendly. There are three large ostriches near the hotel, which are very adorable. The hotel has ample parking, and having charging stations would be even better.

Just back from Weinan, and I really don't recommend visiting in September–October. To be honest...
Just back from Weinan, and I really don't recommend visiting in September–October. To be honest... ——September brings a mix of "Indian summer" heat and autumn rains. Daytime temperatures are a dry 28–32°C, with sudden afternoon showers. In October, a cold front can drop temperatures from 25°C to 8–12°C, with the wind chill on the Huashan summit feeling like 0°C. National Day is even worse: Huashan has crowd limits, the West Peak Cableway has a 2-hour wait, hotel prices in Huayin double, and Tongguan Ancient City is packed with "Xi'an day-trippers." You might think you're coming to hike the Plank Walk in the Sky, see the ancient architecture of Xiyue Temple, eat yapiantang in Tongguan Ancient City, see the reed marshes in Qia Chuan, or brave the glass skywalk at Shaohua Mountain. Instead, you'll get sunburned at North Peak by noon, have the Canglong Ridge and Plank Walk in the Sky closed due to autumn rain, and find Huashan, Shaohua Mountain, and Tongguan packed with crowds during the National Day holiday. You'll return with sore legs for 3 days, a sunburn line on your face, having paid CNY 25 for a bowl of instant noodles on Huashan, and getting stuck in highway traffic before even tasting the yapiantang. You'll be left regretting why you didn't wait for mid-to-late October–November (for red leaves, sea of clouds, and fewer crowds) or April–May (when it's neither too hot nor too cold). (Of course, the Shuipen lamb soup, Tongguan roujiamo, yapiantang, shichen baozi, Dali pork knuckle, Heyang xuemian, Huayin dadaomian, and Fuping dried persimmons are delicious, but if you aren't prepared for the "Indian summer heat + 20°C temperature difference on Huashan + National Day crowd limits + cableway queues + unlicensed tour guides + inadequate hiking gear," visiting Weinan in September–October is just lining the pockets of the Huashan cableway operators and instant noodle vendors.) 💸 A "Guanzhong Eastern Ordeal" for your body and wallet 1. September isn't autumn; it's "sunburn followed by rain": Huashan base temperatures are 30°C+ during the day, while the summit is around 15°C, letting you experience four seasons in one day. Afternoon thunderstorms strike right when you're walking on Canglong Ridge; wet stone steps + high winds = weak knees on the spot. 2. Huashan's triple-threat price gouging: Admission is CNY 160 + North Peak Cableway CNY 80 / West Peak CNY 140 + mountain shuttle bus CNY 20–40, totaling over CNY 300 per person. Instant noodles on the mountain are CNY 25, and bottled water starts at CNY 10. Carrying two bottles of water up = saving the cost of a meal. Unlicensed tour guides "taking you on a shortcut to skip the line" = getting you cut in line, yelled at, and overcharged. 3. National Day Huashan = crowd limit hell: Daily limit of 20,000 people, 2–3 hour wait for the West Peak Cableway, and night climbers watching the sunrise pack East Peak like a morning market. If you don't grab tickets 3 days in advance = a wasted trip to Huayin. 4. Attractions are scattered, which is frustrating: Huashan is in Huayin, Shaohua Mountain is in Linwei District, Tongguan Ancient City is in Tongguan, Qia Chuan is in Heyang, and Fuping dried persimmons are in Fuping. Public transport is infrequent, and shuttle buses are scarce. If you don't drive yourself or carpool = spending most of the day on the road. 5. Tongguan Ancient City gouging: The ancient city is free, but parking is expensive. "Tongguan roujiamo" inside the scenic area sells for CNY 15–20 each, while old shops in the county town sell them for CNY 6–8. Yapiantang is sold by the bowl; don't order the "Ancient City Deluxe Set." 6. Don't blindly rush to Shaohua Mountain: Admission is CNY 60 + cableway CNY 100, with extra fees for the glass skywalk. In September–October, it's foggy after the rain, and the glass surface is slippery. For those afraid of heights, going up = paying to suffer. 🥢 3-day, 2-night "Huashan + Tongguan + Shaohua Ordeal" sample itinerary (read only if you're stubborn) Day 1: Huayin Old Town + Xiyue Temple (CNY 120 per person) · 08:00: Shichen baozi (pork fat/eggplant filling) + tofu pudding in Huayin Old Street. Don't eat the "hiking energy set" at the entrance of the Huashan Visitor Center. · 09:30: Xiyue Temple (CNY 15) Wufeng Tower + Haoling Hall + Wanshou Pavilion. It's quiet and uncrowded, and the view of Huashan from afar is like a painting; it's much more comfortable than rushing Huashan. · Noon: Dadaomian + Shuipen lamb soup in Huayin city (CNY 35–50 per person). Don't eat the "Huashan Sword Feast" at the scenic area entrance. · 15:00: Scout the Huashan Visitor Center, confirm the cableway/hiking route for the next day, and buy supplies (water + chocolate + raincoat). · Stay: Huayin city/around Huashan North Station for CNY 150–280; prices double during National Day. Don't stay at homestays at the foot of Huashan; they are damp and noisy. Day 2: Huashan · Enter early, avoid peak cableway times (Admission CNY 160 + cableway CNY 80–140) · Before 07:00 at the Visitor Center: Choose West-up/North-down (West Peak Cableway up, North Peak Cableway down) for the least effort, or North-up/West-down (if you have good stamina). Long lines for the cableway start after 08:30. · Route: West Peak → South Peak (Plank Walk in the Sky is an extra CNY 30; don't go if you're afraid of heights) → East Peak (Yaozi Fanshen) → Middle Peak → North Peak. Don't force yourself to walk Canglong Ridge after the rain. · Gear: Thin down jacket + windbreaker (below 10°C on the summit), non-slip shoes, gloves (for iron chain handrails), raincoat. Don't wear skirts/canvas shoes/high heels. · Evening: Return to Huayin after descending to eat yapiantang + roujiamo. If your legs are dead, don't force yourself to climb; soak your feet and sleep. Day 3: Tongguan Ancient City + Shaohua Mountain (choose one) · Option A Tongguan Ancient City: Free. See the Yellow River bend + Ming and Qing dynasty streets, eat Tongguan roujiamo (CNY 6–8) + yapiantang, and stop by the Yellow River Ancient Ferry to take sunset photos. · Option B Shaohua Mountain: CNY 60 + cableway CNY 100. Glass skywalk + Qianlong Temple. Don't go if it's foggy after the rain; it's only worth it on a sunny day. · Before returning: Buy Fuping dried persimmons (new stock only available in late October), vacuum-packed Dali pork knuckle, Tongguan pickles, and Huayin dadaomian—buy them at county supermarkets/old shops. Don't touch the "Guanzhong Specialty Gift Boxes" at scenic area parking lots. ⚠️ Hard-learned lessons (specific to September–October) 1. Don't believe the "crisp autumn air" in September: Indian summer + afternoon showers. Huashan weather changes faster than turning a page. Check the summit weather before leaving, not the base weather. 2. Avoid the National Day holiday (October 1–October 7) if you can: Huashan crowd limits, 2-hour cableway waits, doubled hotel prices in Huayin, and highway traffic that makes you question life. If you really must go, choose a weekday in mid-September or after October 8. 3. Huashan gear trio: Thin down jacket + non-slip shoes + gloves. It's below 10°C on the summit. Wearing a camisole = 3 nice photos and 3 days of a cold. 4. Buy cableway tickets in advance: West Peak/North Peak cableway lines are long on-site + may sell out. Lock them in via the official WeChat account in advance. 5. Plank Walk in the Sky/Yaozi Fanshen have extra fees: CNY 30/person. Don't force it if you're afraid of heights; safety first. 6. Go to the county town for Tongguan roujiamo: CNY 6–8 each; they are CNY 15–20 and smaller in the scenic area. 7. Don't go to Shaohua Mountain after the rain: Glass skywalk is slippery + foggy. 8. Don't treat Weinan as a "Huashan accessory": Xiyue Temple, Tongguan Ancient City, Qia Chuan Wetlands, and Fuping Pottery Village are all worth a separate day. Trying to cram them all in = you'll be in the car, and your legs will be shaking. 9. Don't blindly night-climb Huashan: During National Day, there are so many people night-climbing that you can't even stand at East Peak. Don't join in if you aren't a pro. 10. Buy souvenirs at county supermarkets: Fuping dried persimmons, Dali pork knuckle, Tongguan pickles, and Huayin dadaomian. The "Huashan Sword Gift Boxes" in the scenic area are basically cheap goods from Yiwu. Weinan isn't bad; it's just that "September is too hot and rainy, October is too cold and crowded, and the golden period for Huashan is actually mid-to-late October and April–May." September has Indian summer heat and showers, and National Day brings Huashan crowd limits and cableway queues. If you really want to walk the Plank Walk in the Sky, see the ancient architecture of Xiyue Temple, eat Tongguan roujiamo, and drink yapiantang, the best time is a weekday in mid-September or from October 8 to early November (for red leaves, sea of clouds, and fewer crowds). Blindly rushing in during the National Day holiday in September–October is like paying for a cableway ticket just to buy yourself a six-fold ordeal of "sunburn, getting rained on at Canglong Ridge, a 2-hour wait for the West Peak Cableway, 25-yuan instant noodles on the mountain, three days of sore legs, and doubled hotel prices." 🏔️🥢
Weinan is absolutely stunning. I had an amazing three-day trip—you're missing out if you don't go!
Weinan is absolutely stunning. I had an amazing three-day trip—you're missing out if you don't go! Many people just think of Weinan as "next to Xi'an," but after staying for three days, I realized it's a goldmine: Mount Hua, the red leaves of Shaohua Mountain, the Qiaochuan Yellow River Wetland, Hancheng's history, Fuping's dried persimmons, and the Pucheng Qiaoling Mausoleum are all here. It's a top-tier destination where "one mountain guards the Guanzhong Plain, one river nourishes it, and one city writes its history." September to October is the best time to visit: Mount Hua isn't too hot and there are fewer lines (compared to summer), Shaohua Mountain starts to change color, the reeds in Qiaochuan are turning white, Hancheng's ancient streets aren't stuffy, and Fuping's persimmons turn from orange to red. A great three-day itinerary would likely be "Mount Hua for the sea of clouds + Shaohua Mountain for autumn views + Qiaochuan for a breeze" or "Mount Hua + Hancheng Dangjia Village/Sima Qian Temple." What you can do in three days · Day 1 Mount Hua: West-up/West-down or West-up/North-down, Canglong Ridge, East Peak, Plank Walk in the Sky (only for the brave), and Sparrow Turning Over. There's a high chance of a sea of clouds in October. In the evening, head back to Huayin to eat Dadao noodles, Liangpi, or Xue noodles at the foot of the mountain. · Day 2 Shaohua Mountain (Huazhou): Shimen, Qianlong Temple, and Red Leaf Valley. Take the cable car up to see autumn maples and valley water—there are 10 times fewer people here than at Mount Hua. In the afternoon, head to Weinan old town or take a night walk by the Youhe River. · Day 3 Choose one: · West to Qiaochuan Wetland (Heyang): Yellow River reeds, soak in Chunu Spring, and visit the birthplace of the "Guan Guan Ju Jiu" poem from the Book of Songs. The autumn reeds are turning white, and while the swans haven't arrived yet, the water is vast. · North to Hancheng: Dangjia Village Ming and Qing dynasty courtyards, Sima Qian Temple, the Ancient City Confucian Temple, and mutton Heluo noodles. History buffs will love it. · Steal half a day: Fuping Pottery Village, Zhonghuajun, or a persimmon workshop (late October is best for hanging persimmons). The sacred way of the Pucheng Qiaoling Tang Mausoleum has golden autumn grass—it's less crowded than Qianling and quieter than Qiaochuan in spring. What to eat in Weinan · Shichen Baozi (Time Buns) (Weinan old shop): Thin skin and big filling. They come out of the steamer at 6:30 AM; if you're late, you'll be eating instant noodles. · Dadao noodles/Xue noodles/Heyang Yemian: Xue noodles at the foot of Mount Hua are the best; try Heyang Yemian with spicy garlic sauce. · Hancheng mutton Heluo noodles/Zhichuan wontons/Sichuan peppercorn sprouts: Hancheng Dahongpao peppercorns are used in dishes, giving them a numbing fragrance. · Fuping dried persimmons (frosted from late October), Pucheng Chuantou steamed buns, and Dali winter jujubes (sweetest in September–October). · Huayin tofu pudding + jelly noodles + Guokui spicy bread: The perfect recovery meal after climbing Mount Hua. · Night markets: Weinan Linwei Youhe, Huayin Yuemiao, Hancheng Ancient City, and the Heyang Qiaochuan intersection. For souvenirs, buy Fuping dried persimmons, Hancheng peppercorns, Dali winter jujubes, or Mount Hua lingzhi/local produce (don't buy wild ginseng at the scenic spot). Why these three days were worth it · Didn't go to Mount Hua in July–August: No heatstroke, no cable car lines, and no fighting for railing space at 3:00 AM for the East Peak sunrise. · Caught Shaohua Mountain before the red leaves: The days when it turns from green to yellow to red, the valley looks like a palette. · Avoided the Xi'an crowds in Qiaochuan/Hancheng: It's the same Yellow River but quieter than Hukou; the same ancient architecture but more relaxed than Pingyao. · Caught Fuping persimmons before they were hung: In late October, the village is covered in "persimmon curtains"—it's Weinan's hidden ace. Important reminders (for next time or for friends) · Mount Hua's summit is 10°C+ colder than Xi'an in October. The night wind on the East/West Peak is bone-chilling, so don't skimp on a light down jacket and gloves. West-up/West-down is the safest route; don't believe the "night climbing is the only way" hype and ruin your knees. · Shaohua Mountain's red leaves peak from Oct 15–Nov 10. If you come in late September, they will be "green with hints of yellow"—don't complain if they aren't red. · Don't go to Qiaochuan Chunu Spring in peak season. It's less crowded and the water is clearer in autumn, but wait until late October–November for the reeds to turn fully white. · Get a guide for Dangjia Village in Hancheng, otherwise you're just looking at "old houses." Walk the sacred way at Sima Qian Temple and don't take illegal taxis. · Weinan's counties are spread out (Huayin/Huazhou/Heyang/Hancheng/Fuping/Pucheng). Driving from Xi'an is easiest, or take the high-speed rail from Xi'an North to Huashan North/Hancheng East and hire a local car (300–400 yuan/day). Taking the bus will make you miss the sunset. These three days were like experiencing the danger of Mount Hua, the autumn of northern Weinan, the vastness of the Yellow River, the history of Hancheng, and the sweetness of Fuping all at once. Next time, come between Oct 20–Nov 5: Shaohua Mountain will be bright red, Fuping persimmons will be frosted, Qiaochuan reeds will be fully white, and the sacred way of the Pucheng Tang Mausoleum will be paved with gold—that's the window when Weinan is at its best, and you won't want to post on social media for fear of crowds.
Weinan is beautiful, but I really don't recommend visiting in September–October. Take my advice and don't force it.
Weinan is beautiful, but I really don't recommend visiting in September–October. Take my advice and don't force it!! Don't be fooled by the "blockbuster" images of eastern Guanzhong: the perilous beauty of Huashan's sea of clouds, the red leaves of Shaohuashan, the snow-like reed catkins of Qiaochuan, the sunset over the Yellow River at Tongguan, the ancient city of Hancheng, and Shichen buns paired with Shuipen lamb soup. Weinan is a patchwork of Huashan (Huayin), Shaohuashan (Huazhou), Qiaochuan (Heyang), the Yellow River (Tongguan), ancient architecture (Hancheng), and carbs (Linwei Old Town). Visiting in September–October is a gamble on Guanzhong autumn weather: September brings the continuous, damp, and chilly "West China autumn rain," while October's National Day holiday means Huashan cable car queues that will make you question your life choices. Plus, the red leaves and reed catkins aren't at their peak, the mountains are freezing in the morning and evening but scorching at noon, and the wind by the Yellow River is strong enough to blow your hat off. 🚫 Why I advise against visiting in September–October 1️⃣ September in Weinan isn't crisp and clear; it's a triple threat of "autumn rain, fog, and slippery conditions" September in Weinan often coincides with the West China autumn rain. It's not heavy, but it's persistent, with humidity spiking to 80%–90%. Huashan, Shaohuashan, Tianliushan, Qiaoling, and Yaotou Kiln are all open-air or involve stone steps. After the rain, these steps become slippery. The Plank Walk in the Sky, the Chess Pavilion, and the Qianlong Temple plank road all turn into a "slip-resistance test." If you plan to "do Huashan in the morning, Shaohuashan in the late morning, Qiaochuan in the afternoon, and have Shuipen lamb soup in the old town at night," a single rain shower will ruin it: Huashan gets foggy and you see nothing, Shaohuashan cable car limits capacity, Qiaochuan's reeds get soaked, and the old town alleys get damp, making all your photos look gray. 2️⃣ Huashan during the National Day holiday = the "Spring Festival travel rush" of the Five Great Mountains Huashan is the soul of Weinan, but during the National Day holiday, Huashan North Station, Yuquan Temple, and the cable car stations are all packed. The West Peak cable car is 130, the North Peak cable car is 80, and queues during the holiday can reach 2–3 hours. Wanting to photograph "Canglong Ridge red leaves + South Peak sea of clouds" means queuing at dawn, fighting for cable car tickets, and seeing nothing but the backs of people's heads at the East Peak sunrise viewing platform. This also causes a domino effect on Tongguan Ancient City, Qiaochuan, and Hancheng: parking is difficult by the Yellow River, there are queues for the electric carts in the Heyang reed marshes, and you can't drive into the Hancheng alleys. 3️⃣ The timing for red leaves/reed catkins is off; get it wrong and it's a wasted trip Huashan red leaves are mid-October to early November, Shaohuashan is late October to mid-November, Hancheng Xiangshan is mid-October to mid-November, Qiaochuan reed catkins are October to November, Fuping persimmons are around the time of Frost's Descent (late October), and Pucheng Qiaoling only gets good in late October. Come in September: The mountains are still mostly green, so your "Guanzhong autumn" photos will look like late summer. Come October 1–7: The crowds are at their peak, the leaves haven't turned red, the reed catkins are just starting, and the persimmons aren't ripe. You'll pay the highest prices to see "half-green, half-yellow" scenery and crowds of people. True Weinan autumn beauty doesn't peak until after October 20 to mid-November, when workers are back at their jobs and independent travel is actually worth it. 4️⃣ Attractions are scattered like a Guanzhong platter; without a car, you're just spending your time on the highway Huashan is in Huayin, Shaohuashan is in Huazhou, Qiaochuan is in Heyang, Tongguan is in the southeast corner, Hancheng is in the northeast corner, and Fuping/Pucheng/Dali each occupy their own spot. If you're starting from Xi'an, you have to split it into routes: East Route (Huashan + Tongguan), North Route (Chengcheng + Heyang + Hancheng), and Northwest Route (Fuping + Pucheng + Baishui). If you try to do a "Huashan + Shaohuashan + Qiaochuan + Hancheng + Tongguan + Fuping persimmon forest" six-stop trip on your first visit, you'll be spending 2–3 hours driving every day, dealing with motion sickness, heavy trucks on national highways, and crosswinds by the Yellow River. Weinan is better suited for "staying in one place and exploring slowly," not for "finishing the Yellow River and Huashan in three days." 5️⃣ The mountain temperature trap: short sleeves at the bottom, cotton-padded jackets at the top The average temperature at the top of Huashan is only 5.9°C. In October, the South/West Peak can drop to 2–13°C in the morning and evening. If you don't wear a windbreaker + a thin down jacket to watch the sunrise at the East Peak, you'll be shivering. Qiaochuan wetlands are 20°C during the day but cold in the evening wind; the wind by the Yellow River in Tongguan will blow your Hanfu skirt right into your face; the Fuping Weinan plateau has a day-night temperature difference of 5–18°C. If you wear a camisole, you'll look pretty for three photos and spend the rest of the trip sneezing. 6️⃣ Shichen buns/Shuipen lamb soup/Xue noodles are delicious, but there are plenty of tourist traps too Lao Zhu Shichen buns are only sold in the morning and sell out by noon; for Shuipen lamb soup, try the clear broth in Chengcheng or the hemp-spiced version in Pucheng—don't order the "all-in-one" Shuipen at the entrance of a scenic spot. Heyang Xue noodles, Dali crescent bread, Tongguan meat burgers, Fuping persimmon cakes/Qiongguo candy, and Hancheng prickly ash buds are all delicious, but: The "wild Yellow River fish" at the Qiaochuan pier is overpriced, there are many unlicensed guides at the foot of Huashan offering "fast-track/internal tours," cultural and creative shops in Hancheng Ancient City are twice as expensive as the old alleys, and Yaotou Kiln is quiet and easy to visit for nothing. The real local flavor is in: Linwei West 2nd Road/Old Town alleys, Huazhou backstreets, Heyang Old Town, Pucheng night markets, and Fuping Old Town—not at the big landmark signs. 📅 When is the right time? ✅ September 15–25 (non-weekends): The heat has faded, the rain hasn't become continuous, Huashan's cloud base is clear—a hidden little golden window for Weinan. ✅ October 20–November 15 (weekdays): Huashan red leaves, Shaohuashan colorful forests, Qiaochuan reed catkins, Fuping red persimmons, and Hancheng Xiangshan are all in season. This is when "Guanzhong East Prefecture is willing to offer up its autumn." ✅ April–May: Huashan's fresh green, Qiaochuan's tender reeds, not stuffy, and not the National Day holiday—the most stable time for a first visit. ❌ Early to mid-September: The start of the West China autumn rain, with fog + rain + slippery conditions in the mountains. ❌ October 1–7: Queues for the Huashan cable car, queues for parking in Tongguan, Qiaochuan reed catkins not full, Hancheng crowds increasing, and old town hotel prices jumping from 150 to 400+. 🚨 Self-rescue guide if you insist on going in September–October · Don't plan a big loop of "Huashan + Shaohuashan + Qiaochuan + Hancheng + Tongguan + Fuping." Choose "Linwei Old Town 2 days + Huashan 1 day" or "Heyang Qiaochuan + Hancheng 2 days" and that's enough. · Enter Huashan before 7:00 AM / take the West Peak cable car up. On rainy/foggy days, switch to visiting Xiyue Temple, Weinan Museum, Chengcheng Yaotou Kiln, or Pucheng Qiaoling. · Don't go to Shaohuashan during the National Day holiday; wait until after late October. Don't go to the Qianlong Temple plank road after rain. · Enter the reed marshes in Qiaochuan in the evening; it's scorching at noon and windy in the afternoon. Bring a swimsuit for the Virgin Spring hot springs, and ignore the "Yellow River fish 298" at the pier. · Stay near the old towns of Linwei/Huayin/Hancheng; don't insist on hotels at the scenic spots. Arrive before 7:00 AM for Shichen buns, and dip your crescent bread into the Shuipen lamb soup. · Outfit: Short sleeves + windbreaker + thin down jacket + non-slip shoes + folding umbrella. Don't wear Hanfu to climb Huashan, and don't wear high heels to walk in Chenlu-style old alleys. Weinan isn't bad, but if you come in September–October, you're gambling on the West China autumn rain, gambling on Huashan fog, gambling on Shaohuashan cable car queues, gambling on the Qiaochuan reed catkins not being open, gambling on the Fuping persimmons not being red, gambling on the wind by the Yellow River during the National Day holiday blowing your makeup off, and gambling on the Shichen buns being sold out. Wait until late October, when Huashan's red leaves burn Canglong Ridge a deep red, the Shaohuashan cable car passes through a sea of clouds and smoke trees, the Qiaochuan reed catkins fly like snow in the backlight, and you can get a bowl of Shuipen lamb soup with crescent bread in the Linwei old street without queuing—that is when "Guanzhong East Prefecture is willing to gently offer you its hardest mountains, its softest reeds, and its most solid carbs" ⛰️🍁🍜

Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, sweet but not greasy—I ate three in one go! 😋 The snack street has other local delicacies, and you can't go wrong with anything you try~ There's also a light show at night, which really sets the mood! 🌃 📌 **Tips** · Driving is recommended; parking at the scenic area is convenient 🚗 · The hot springs and tiger park are both inside the scenic area and within walking distance · The snack street is open until 10:00 PM—perfect for late-night snack lovers!

Near Xi'an! The ultimate hot spring getaway is here
Autumn in Xi'an is always so charming, with leaves gradually turning golden and a gentle breeze bringing a hint of coolness. My boyfriend and I specifically drove to Zhonghuajun Hot Spring Hotel this time, just to enjoy that sense of tranquility and warmth. 🌟 🚗 The joy of a road trip 🚀 It only takes a 1-hour drive from Xi'an. The scenery along the way is picturesque, and by the time we arrived at Zhonghuajun Hot Spring Hotel, it was already evening. The hotel is located at the sacred site where the Yellow Emperor cast his tripods—the beautiful Jingshan Plateau. The environment is quiet and secluded, as if you are in a hidden paradise in the heart of the ancient capital. After getting out of the car, the hotel's doorman greeted us warmly, and at that moment, the fatigue of the journey instantly vanished. 😊 💦 The charm of the hot springs 🌸 Upon entering the hotel, I was immediately attracted by the facilities in the first-floor bathing area. It can accommodate over 2,000 people at a time, offering various services such as showers, hot spring pools, Japanese-style sit-down baths, and dry/steam saunas. We chose a "seven-color" original hot spring pool; the water temperature was just right, and the water was clear. Soaking in it felt like my whole body and mind were being gently embraced. After the hot spring, my skin really became smoother and more delicate, and I felt exceptionally relaxed. 🍃 🏡 Cozy and comfortable rooms 🏠 The hotel's room design is simple and elegant. Each room is equipped with natural hot spring water, so you can enjoy the warm spring water right from your bed. Our room also featured a cozy daybed, and the bedding was from a well-known brand—it was soft and comfortable, making it feel just like home. Waking up in the morning, the view outside the window was breathtaking, with distant mountains appearing faintly in the mist, which was truly refreshing. 🌅 🍽️ The temptation of delicious food 🎉 The hotel offers a rich variety of dining options. The Chinese restaurant focuses on Shaanxi cuisine, combining "tripod culture" with wellness principles; the dishes carefully prepared by the chef are unforgettable. I especially recommend their children's restaurant, which features a 500-square-meter open-kitchen design where children can watch the chefs' superb culinary skills up close. The rich variety of side dishes, snacks, and cold dishes satisfies the tastes of the whole family. In addition, the Chinese and Western buffet restaurant is also a great choice, with fresh, organic, nutritious, and healthy ingredients that make dining worry-free and enjoyable. 🍲 Overall, Zhonghuajun Hot Spring Hotel not only provides a high-quality hot spring experience but also boasts comprehensive facilities and services. Whether it's a family trip or a romantic getaway, it's a rare and wonderful destination. If I have the chance next time, I will definitely come back here to enjoy this tranquility and beauty. 😊
Weinan is truly underrated: 4 hidden gems that are delicious, photogenic, and easy to explore
Honestly, before I went, I thought Weinan = a one-day trip to Mount Hua But I ended up staying for 4 days. The greenery of the Qinling Mountains, the banks of the Yellow River, the brick carvings of the old Ming and Qing dynasty villages, the 7 AM Shichen buns… It's all stuck in my head 🥹 💰 Budget breakdown (per person) · Budget version (bus + hostel + street food): CNY 800–1,000 / 4 days · Comfortable version (high-speed rail + budget hotel + mix of meals and street food): CNY 1,200–1,500 / 4 days · Major ticket costs: Mount Hua ticket + round-trip West Peak cable car + shuttle bus approx. CNY 440 (West-up/West-down, energy-saving version), Mount Shaohua ticket approx. CNY 60 + cable car extra, Qiaochuan Virgin Spring CNY 44 / Fushan CNY 24, Dangjia Village single ticket approx. CNY 50 (often bundled with Liangdai Village for CNY 80) · Meals cost CNY 60–90 a day for a very filling experience, accommodation in Huayin/Weinan city is CNY 150–260, Hancheng ancient city homestays CNY 200–320 📍 4 hidden gems (ranked by experience, not popularity) 1️⃣ Mount Hua—it's not just scary ⛰️ Don't get weak knees just hearing about Mount Hua! For a relaxed trip, take the bus to Yuquan Temple → West Peak cable car up → West Peak → South Peak → Plank Walk in the Sky (for the brave) → North Peak cable car down. The whole trip takes 6–7 hours without wearing out your knees. The view from the West Peak cable car with the clouds rolling beneath my feet made me delete three selfies and replace them with landscape photos 📸 Tip: The summit is about 10 degrees cooler than the base, so bring a windbreaker. Water is expensive, but you don't need to carry a ton; just bring a thermos and some chocolate. 2️⃣ Mount Shaohua—Mount Hua's quiet little sister 🌲 Located in Huazhou District, it's much less crowded. The sound of water in Shimen Gorge is loud, and the glass skywalk at Qianlong Temple is dizzying but not crowded. It's super cool in the summer. I went early that morning, and the fog hadn't cleared yet; Hongya Lake looked like someone had poured dark green paint into it. Tickets are about CNY 60, and the one-way cable car is around CNY 100. If you don't like climbing, just take the cable car and walk the flat paths; it's suitable for seniors and children. 3️⃣ Qiaochuan Wetland—the place from the "Guan Guan Ju Jiu" poem in the Classic of Poetry 🌾 This Yellow River wetland in Heyang County is really underrated because of its name. Soak your feet in the Virgin Spring (the bubbles from the spring eye are amazing), take a bamboo raft through the reed marshes. The moment the migratory birds took flight in autumn, my office-worker friend said, "It was worth it." Fushan is a small mountain shaped like a scorpion. It takes ten minutes to climb to the top. The scent of incense mixed with the wind blowing through the reed leaves is strange but addictive. 4️⃣ Dangjia Village, Hancheng—a living fossil of Ming and Qing dynasty villages 🧱 This village in Xizhuang Town, Hancheng, has it all: gate towers, brick carvings of family mottos, and the Wenxing Pavilion. It's not one of those renovated, fake-ancient streets; it's an old village where people actually live. At 4 PM, the slanted light hit the Gengdu Di (Farming and Reading Residence) plaque. I stood there for ten minutes without saying a word. Single tickets are around CNY 50, or CNY 80 for a combo ticket with the Liangdai Village Rui State Ruins Museum. If you like culture, definitely add a night tour of Hancheng Ancient City (free admission). 🗺️ 4-day, 3-night itinerary (optimized route) Day 1: Xi'an/Weinan city → Mount Hua (West-up/West-down) → Stay in Huayin Day 2: Huayin morning market for tofu puffs → Half day at Mount Shaohua (Shimen Gorge + Qianlong Temple) → Return to Weinan city in the evening to stay Day 3: Weinan → Heyang Qiaochuan (Virgin Spring + Fushan + reed marshes) → Stay in Heyang or head to Hancheng Day 4: Hancheng Dangjia Village → Explore and eat in Hancheng Ancient City → Return (If you're short on time, cut Mount Shaohua; the Mount Hua + Qiaochuan + Hancheng route also works) 🍜 What to eat (ranked by meal, order these to avoid disappointment) · Breakfast: Shichen buns (monk's hat shape, the fatty meat filling is the best, they sell out fast) + tofu puffs with Guokui Yazi (flatbread). Go to the old shops in Weinan city at 7 AM to queue. · At the foot of Mount Hua: Tongguan Roujiamo (meat burger). The bun is flaky, add the braised meat; also try a bowl of Huayin Mashi Pao (dough drop soup). · Chengcheng/Pucheng area: Shuipen mutton soup with crescent-shaped bread + pickled garlic. The broth is clear and the meat is tender. Have a bowl in the morning and you won't feel tired while climbing. · Heyang: Zhe noodles. Made from buckwheat with a sour and spicy sauce, locals eat it as a main meal. · Hancheng: Mutton Hubu (stew) + buckwheat noodles. Just walk into any small restaurant in the ancient city. · Pucheng souvenir: Chuantou buns. Crispy when eaten cold, great with meat or spicy sauce. · Souvenir: Fuping persimmon cakes (the ones with frost, gooey center). Only authentic in autumn/winter. Don't buy them at the scenic spot entrance; go to Fuping or city supermarkets. ⚠️ A few honest truths Don't trust the low-price guides at the foot of Mount Hua; buy all tickets on the official mini-program. Qiaochuan bamboo rafts and hot springs are charged separately; ask before boarding. You don't need a guide for Dangjia Village, but definitely look up at the words on the lintels. Weinan's overall cost of living is friendly. Don't eat at the big restaurants right at the entrance of scenic spots; walk 200 meters into the alleys for better taste and prices. Weinan isn't a city you just "stop by to see." It's a place that blends landscapes, the Yellow River, and the delicious food of the Guanzhong region. 4 days isn't enough to love it fully, but it's enough for you to come back and tell your friends: Don't just go to Xi'an in Shaanxi; the eastern part is wild and warm ✨
Fuping travel guide
🔥Why Fuping? Think Shaanxi is just loess plateaus? Think again! Here you’ll find Fuping black pottery as smooth as ink jade, persimmon cakes bigger than your face with flowing centers, and a Tang dynasty tomb that’s been sleeping for a thousand years. The best part—spend just 200 yuan per person for a full day of eating, staying, and exploring! The high-speed train from Xi’an takes only 18 minutes, faster than your daily commute! This value is legendary!🚄 🗺️ Step-by-step itinerary (tested with no backtracking) Morning: immerse yourself in history (prepare to be amazed) 📍 First stop: Zhonghua Jun (free!) Don’t assume “Jun” means a man-made attraction. This is where the Yellow Emperor cast his cauldron! Highlights include the Shennong herbal garden and the ancient tribal area, with rough stone walls and huge totems that make every photo feel epic. On weekends, live performances give you goosebumps!🎭 📍 Second stop: Tang Fengling (so off the beaten path you’ll have it to yourself) Follow the navigation through a mountain road. When you see the stone lions and winged horses lining the spirit way, the grandeur of the Tang dynasty hits you speechless. Almost no tourists here, the wind is strong, and standing before the Zhuque Gate, you feel like you’re having a silent conversation with Emperor Li Song.📜 (Tips: wear comfortable shoes, the steps are a bit wild!) Noon: carb bomb refuel station 💣 Skip the big restaurants! Head straight to the “Honest Man Persimmon Cake” flagship store (locals line up here). Order a persimmon cake stuffed with walnuts. One bite and the molten center bursts out, sweet but not cloying, with the walnut’s rich oil flavor exploding in your mouth. I bought 5 boxes to send home on the spot! Pair it with a bowl of oil tea made from Qiong pot sugar—warm and unbeatable!🥣 Afternoon: touch the art of “earth” 🏺 📍 Third stop: pottery village (you must try the wheel throwing!) This is a gathering place for international potters. The museum is full of wildly creative works. But the best part is hands-on experience! For 30 yuan, under the guidance of a master, make a wonky cup. The healing feeling beats a spa. Watching the clay spin at your fingertips, all KPIs and rent worries vanish!🧘♀️ Evening: chase a sunset over the orange sea 🌅 📍 Fourth stop: Shichuan River Wetland Park The locals’ backyard. At dusk, the sunset dyes the whole river golden, with the faint silhouette of Qiao Mountain in the distance. Rent a tandem bike and ride along the river. When the wind blows past, I almost wanted to cry—life really can be this slow. 🥢 must-eat list (if it’s not good, come find me) Persimmon cake: look for “Fuping pointed persimmon,” always buy the hanging kind (with stem), the molten center is richest! Empress cake: crust so crispy it flakes, inside is the fresh aroma of Sichuan pepper leaves, a carb lover’s dream. Stone bread: cooked on river stones, super crunchy, the more you chew the better it tastes, perfect as a gift. Qiong pot sugar: intangible cultural heritage snack, strong sesame aroma, a bit sticky—don’t talk while eating!😝 📌 pitfall guide (learned the hard way) ❌ Don’t buy loose persimmon cakes at the scenic spot entrance. Buy from Honest Man or local farmers’ yards for half the price! ❌ Tang Fengling is very windy, wear a hat—don’t ask how I know. ❌ Pottery village experience requires advance booking; weekends can have hour-long lines. ✅ Transport: take the high-speed train to Fuping station, then taxi straight to Zhonghua Jun, starting fare is enough. 💌 final thoughts In Fuping, I saw the most genuine China. No over-commercialization, no cookie-cutter souvenirs, just locals seriously making persimmon cakes and caretakers guarding a thousand-year-old imperial tomb. This isn’t a place for check-in tourism, but for emptying your mind. If you’re tired too, spend a day in Fuping feeling the wind of the loess plateau. You’ll find life is more than just the daily grind—it’s persimmon cakes and distant horizons. 🌾
What people are saying about Fuping
Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum
We woke at 7 for a 730 Didi taxi pickup from our hotel in Bell Tower. 50 minutes later we arrived and joined the queue - we were among the first 100 people to get in and see Pit 1 which was as dramatic as we imagined. Everything went smoothly. We then went to Pit 3 and finally pit 2. And then the museum. We worked out the free shuttle bus to Loch Gardens where we walked to the Bronze Chariots. Somewhat surprised at the small size of this exhibit. And we walked to the plinth that represents the Mausoleum - not understanding at first the vast forest pyramid upon which the mausoleum stood - best to go further away to see this. All in all an enjoyable 4 hours before easily getting a Didi taxi and avoiding the touts and taxi drivers trying to screw us on piece. 91CNY to get back. All good. We had bought snacks with us into the place with no problem.
TonyMortonZhonghua County Cultural Tourism Resort
Zhonghua County Cultural Tourism Area is perfect for family trips! It boasts a rich cultural heritage, a wide variety of rides, adorable animal interactions, and local delicacies. It's a great place to learn with your kids while keeping them entertained. The park is clean and tidy, offering excellent value for money.

乌利哇啦Huaqing Palace
Had a great visual experience with this show. Light operation was great. Effects wonderful. Even if you not in Chinese history of this period (1936), you will be stunned with show details. The hard moment is to get to this show 1. The time of performance is different and you have to ask it at the theatre pavilion. 2. Pavilion is rather hard to find from east gate (but easy if you first visit mountain and are descending from it. 3. It is better to buy ticket at place, because I had a problem with my reservation (trip com does not buy your ticket, some supplier buy and the voucher may be incorrect)
_TI***obSong of Everlasting Sorrow
I'd long admired the "Song of Everlasting Regret" performance, considering it the pinnacle of live-action performances. Set against the backdrop of Mount Li and with the sky and earth as its stage, it recounts a legendary story from a thousand years ago. In the evening, throngs of audiences flocked to the show. The numerous actors delivered brilliant and professional performances, and the stage and lighting effects were outstanding and stunning. Although the ticket price wasn't cheap, I still felt the experience was fantastic.
M22***51Zhonghuajunsheng Hot Spring
The resort features over 30 unique hot spring pools, including an ancient karst cave and an outdoor wellness area, along with a 6,000㎡ indoor water park. It's family-friendly and offers one-stop relaxation amenities such as a sauna, movie theater, and spa. Hot spring-accessible guest rooms and VIP hot spring rooms cater to different needs, and the dining options are great value for money.
骑着蜗牛赶绿灯“Flying Dream” Aviation Experience Hall
Located in the Youyi Road Campus of NPU, there are many places worth seeing. The antique buildings and the students studying hard under the shade of green trees. There is also the very famous NPU Affiliated High School.
望雁Yaowang Mountain
I visited Yaowang Mountain in Tongchuan on October 1st, National Day, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The mountain isn't too steep, making it suitable for leisurely exploration for all ages. The mountain is covered with ancient cypress trees, their fragrance refreshing, creating a serene environment. This is the hermitage of Sun Simiao, the "Medicine King," and there are many interesting sights, including inscriptions and grotto statues, showcasing its rich cultural heritage. The scenic area was well-organized during the National Day holiday, with clear signage, allowing me to learn about the history of traditional Chinese medicine as I walked – a very rewarding experience. Climbing to the platform offers a panoramic view of Yaozhou city. It's a great short trip around Xi'an, combining hiking, fresh air, and historical exploration – a perfect blend of relaxation and educational experience.
汪飞飞1980Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum is unique in China; reservations are virtually impossible without advance booking. To finally see it again, I decided to pay for more time, but I still didn't expect so many visitors on a weekday afternoon. Without the guide's explanations, I probably would have gotten lost in the crowds. The guide was very professional, knowledgeable, and humorous, making what could have been a rather dry visit an excellent experience. Thank you so much!
Anonymous userXi'an City Wall
You can rent bicycles for a loop, but you have to return them at Wenchang Gate. So you'll need to rent them at Yongning Gate. There are also vlogs available for download (29 yuan) that you can scan a QR code to watch. A total rip-off.
