Qianling Mausoleum of Empress Wu Zetian, a journey through 1,300 years of wind and snow
Heading north from Maoling, I originally thought the sky would gradually clear, but unexpectedly, the road led deeper into gloom; upon entering Qian County, snow began to fall. This is actually my second visit to Qianling—my last visit was seventeen years ago. Time flies so fast, so fast that even the fading of memories seems to be on fast forward. · Today, visitors must take a shuttle bus from the visitor center to enter Qianling, then sequentially visit the tombs of Princess Yongtai and Crown Prince Yide before slowly entering the Liangshan area. From afar, the iconic Twin Breast Peaks are visible, yet they seem somewhat different from my memory. The winding mountain road leads directly to one side of the Sacred Way. · Entering the Sacred Way of Qianling, the starting point is not the Huabiao (ornamental columns). The planned scenic area of Qianling ironically excludes the Huabiao from within its boundaries. The snow falls heavier and heavier, and the biting wind slams against the cheeks, blowing past the winged horses, ostriches, horse attendants, and statues of the Wengzhong. These stone figures are now cloaked in thick snow, no longer the sharply defined symbols from history books, but like giants lost in time, standing solemnly with bowed heads, quietly listening to the same long dream from a thousand years ago. · The story of Qianling begins with Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi. This emperor, who inherited the "Zhenguan" legacy, died in 683 AD and was buried in Liangshan. However, what truly made Qianling unique in history was his empress—Wu Zetian. · As the only legitimate female emperor in Chinese history, Wu Zetian, after Gaozong’s death, went through complex power struggles, eventually changing the Tang dynasty to "Zhou" and ascending the throne as emperor. In 705 AD, Wu Zetian passed away. At the end of her life, she left a will: "Remove the imperial title, call me Empress Wu Zetian the Great Holy Empress," and requested to be buried together with Gaozong at Qianling. This decision made Qianling the only tomb in the world housing two emperors who were also a married couple. This pair, who once jointly ruled the Tang Empire, ultimately rest together in this grand mausoleum built into the mountain, forming the core historical narrative of Qianling. · However, the wordless stele standing for a thousand years now has a modern "umbrella" cover, and the sixty-one statues of foreign envoys have been closed for maintenance. Qianling is about to undergo a transformation unseen in a millennium, though it is hard to judge whether this is right or wrong. · Passing the Bi Yuan Stele, the main peak of Liangshan grows even more somber under the lead-gray sky, like a huge black paperweight pressing down on a rolling sheet of silver-white rice paper. The snow intensifies, and between heaven and earth, only the whispers of wind and snow remain. · 🏠Name | Qianling Mausoleum 🎫Ticket | 80 RMB (off-season) ⛳Address | National Highway 312, Chengguan Town, Qian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province
Guangxi Guilin Lingchuan Daxu ancient town riverside lane
Daxu (大圩) is one of the “four great Guilin towns” — 1,000+ years of Li River trade, a 2km riverside lane of Qing brick, stone flagging worn into smiles, and a “Mao’s bridge” photo spot where old men still mend nets. I walked it 6pm — the Li River going jade, a teahouse playing Guzhengbadly but sincerely, a granny frying “oil-tea” (油茶) with puffed rice and a hit of ginger that rewired my sinuses. Free, 30 min from Guilin by bus ¥6. Less polished than Xingping, less commercial than Yangshuo — a working town, not a stage. Stay: day-trip is fine; if overnight, ¥120–170/night riverside. Food: “Daxu fermented tofu” ¥3/slab (pungent, addictive), “Li River shrimp” ¥35, “oil-tea set” ¥10. Mistake: going Sunday 11–3 — the Guilin day-tour buses land. Weekday evening the lane belongs to fishermen and cats. Would you walk a 1,000-year lane where the tea bites back, and the river keeps the same appointment it made with the Tang? #travelersvoice #chinatravelcircle
Guilin Fuli ancient town Li River old street
Fuli is what Xingping was 15 years ago: a working town, not a backdrop. The old street has fan-painting workshops (the “Fuli fans” are a real craft — ¥25 for a hand-painted folding fan, watch the old man ink the mountains in 4 minutes), a crumbling theater, and a riverside where women still wash greens. I missed the bus back and ended up drinking pomelo tea with a retired ferryman who pointed at a sandbar: “that’s where the Japanese plane missed the bridge in ’44.” No ticket, no QR-code menu, cash preferred at the corner noodle stall (¥10, bitter melon and pork, weirdly good). Bus from Guilin (¥20, 40 min) or raft from Xingping if water’s high. Would you plan Fuli or just get “stranded” there and let the town adopt you? #travelersvoice #chinatravelcircle

![Oct 3 Xi'an 3-day trip_Matuta's travelogue [Shaanxi edition] — traveler post in Xingping](https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/1mi4q12000u4a0amp533C_C_480_270_R5.jpg_.avif?proc=source/trip)
Oct 3 Xi'an 3-day trip_Matuta's travelogue [Shaanxi edition]
This is my second time in Xi'an, and this trip is to make up for some of the things I missed last time. My first stop was the Shaanxi Archaeology Museum. I was particularly impressed by the Polo Painting from Li Yong's tomb (P1). Polo was very popular in the Tang Dynasty after being introduced from Persia; the upper nobility, and even Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (Li Longji), were keen on playing polo. The permanent mural exhibition also features many wonderful paintings, such as the dancer painting with a heart gesture (P2). After leaving the Archaeology Museum, Xiangji Temple (P3) is very close by. After the An Lushan Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty lost much of its territory. An important battle before the recapture of Luoyang took place here, where Li Siye fought shirtless with a sword. Although they won this battle, the Tang Dynasty paid a cruel price due to the alliance with the Uyghurs. In the afternoon, I headed straight to the Shaanxi History Museum's Mural Hall. For those who love murals, this hall is definitely worth the visit. It houses many precious Tang Dynasty murals. Some of the more important ones include the Watchtower Painting from the tomb of Crown Prince Yide (P4), the Polo Painting from the tomb of Crown Prince Zhanghuai (P5), the Hunting and Outing Painting (P6), and the Court Ladies Painting from the tomb of Princess Yongtai (P7). Although the three were royal family members, they all died at the hands of Wu Zetian due to political struggles. The next day, I visited the Famen Temple Museum. Highlights include the 12-ring monk's staff (P8), the highest-ranking one existing in the world, and the eight-fold treasure casket (P9) that held the Buddha's finger bone relic. There are also the bronze pagoda (P10) and the octagonal water-purifying secret-color porcelain vase (P11). Before the Famen Temple underground palace was unearthed, the world did not know what "secret-color porcelain" (mise ware) was, and could only guess from poems like, "The Yue kiln opens in the autumn wind and dew, capturing the green color of a thousand peaks." With the opening of the underground palace and the comparison with the inventory list, its true appearance was recognized for the first time. The Zhouyuan Museum is right next to Famen Temple. As the site where the Zhou people moved to Qi, the collection includes the Qiang Pan (P12), which completely records the achievements of seven generations of Zhou kings starting from King Wen of Zhou, proving the accuracy of the Grand Historian Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian. In the afternoon, I set off for the Maoling Mausoleum. The Maoling Museum is famous for the "Horse Trampling the Xiongnu" stone carving (P13) in front of Huo Qubing's tomb. There are also many stone carvings of animals with various appearances. I also paid my respects to Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Qubing, and General Wei Qing. On the last day, I first listened to a 6-hour guided tour of the Stele Forest Museum. Highlights include the Stone Classic of Filial Piety (P14), co-written by two emperors, Tang Xuanzong (Li Longji) and Tang Suzong (Li Heng); the Six Steeds of Zhaoling (P16), which witnessed Li Shimin pacifying the heroes and unifying the Central Plains; and the stone sarcophagus of Li Jingxun (P15), who had a legendary life and was deeply loved. There are also top-tier calligraphy works like the Preface to the Sacred Teachings (compiled from Wang Xizhi's works) and the Yan Family Temple Stele, which bears witness to the loyalty of the Yan family. For the last half-day, I visited the Han Yangling Museum (P17-18). The collection is not extensive, but being able to immerse myself and see the imperial-level outer burial pits with my own eyes was a very special experience.
A Hotel in Yangshuo We Didn’t Want to Leave

Hiking the 18 km Li River is the ultimate romance 🌿
📌 Tips If you're planning to follow the popular online guides, there's one thing you must note ⚠️: After arriving at Yangshuo Station from Guilin, there is no CNY 5 bus to Yangdi Pier. You have to go to Yangshuo first and then to Yangdi, which wastes a significant amount of time. We ended up taking a taxi, which took 1 hour and 38 minutes. While chatting with the driver, we heard about the "hidden" route used by experienced hikers. ✅ You can choose to take a taxi from Guilin to Yangdi Pier for only about CNY 60 (high-speed train ticket is CNY 24/person), then start the most beautiful riverside hiking route. If you have time when you reach Xingping, you can find a cafe to relax, or if you're not tired, you can climb Laozhai Mountain or Xianggong Mountain ⛰️—both offer great scenery. Finally, take the high-speed train back to Guilin. ✅ Some people choose to take the CNY 5 bus to Xingping Bus Station after arriving at Yangshuo Station, then hike from Xingping to Yangdi (but this route isn't friendly for those doing a round trip in one day, as it wastes a lot of time and money), and then go to Yangshuo to explore. ✅ The whole trip takes about 6–7 hours, with farmhouses along the way for supplies. ✅ Ferry boat is CNY 5/ride; have some small change ready. ✅ Wear non-slip shoes, and bring sun protection and rain gear. Along the way, you'll encounter the misty Langshi scenery, Nine Horses Mural Hill, and Yellow Cloth Shoal, all while heading toward the spot featured on the CNY 20 banknote. There are three ferry crossings along the way, where you'll take small boats across the Li River to experience the water and green mountains up close. See clear water and unique peaks on sunny days, or enjoy the misty, hazy scenery on rainy days—the scenery is unique on every stretch of the path. Walk and stop as you please, pause to take photos whenever you like, listen to the murmuring river, and let the landscape gently heal you.
Xingping Day Family Escape
Yangshuo Moye Villa suits families who want a softer way to experience Guilin’s landscape. From its setting near Guilin Romance Park, guests can plan days around Yulong River, Ten-Mile Gallery, West Street and Li River views without changing hotels. The route can be flexible: go out for the main sights when the weather is good, then return for tea, pool time or a quieter evening indoors. Instead of rushing through every stop, you can make Silver Cave the main outing, add Jima Wharf if the weather is clear, and save Yulong River for a slower morning. On property, useful features such as the children's play area, luggage storage and cafe make the stay easier. In guest feedback, selected rooms offer balconies, bathtubs or large-screen projection for quieter evenings indoors; reviews often mention clean, spacious rooms and wide windows facing Yangshuo’s karst mountains.
Xingping Day Slow Holiday
If your Yangshuo plan is built around a classic Guilin landscape day, Yangshuo Moye Villa works well for a stay that combines mountain views, easy sightseeing and relaxed time at the property. Its location near Guilin Romance Park makes evening plans simple, while classic sights such as Yulong River and Ten-Mile Gallery remain easy to arrange. It is a practical choice when you want sightseeing, photos, breakfast and slower evenings to fit into the same stay. Travelers can split Ruyi Peak Cableway, Jiuxian Ancient Village and Xingping Ancient Town across two days, which leaves room for breakfast, photos and quiet evenings at the hotel. On property, useful features such as the laundry room, travel photography service and panoramic restaurant make the stay easier. In guest feedback, the rooftop pool, spiral staircase and mountain terraces are practical for photos without leaving the property; drivers may appreciate the private parking and easier base for a multi-day Yangshuo itinerary.

What people are saying about Xingping
Maoling Museum
Worth a visit; it's serene and solemn. Seeing the place where Emperor Wu of Han lies, and imagining his heroic exploits during his conquest of the empire, is especially moving. Paying homage to the tomb of Huo Qubing, a young hero of history, evokes profound emotions.
M10***33Maoling Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of Western Han
Emperor Wu of Han's Maoling Mausoleum & Maoling Museum It's very convenient to get there by car, with a large and easy-to-park parking lot. Following the order of visiting the mausoleum area first, then the museum, the route is very smooth. The mausoleum area is magnificent, allowing you to feel the profound history of the Western Han Dynasty imperial tombs. The museum's highlights include the Huo Qubing Tomb stone carvings and other national treasures like the "Horse Trampling the Xiongnu," which are truly impressive. The exhibits are also very rich. Overall, it wasn't crowded, making for a quiet and comfortable experience. However, the sun is quite strong in the mausoleum area, so sunscreen is recommended. It's well worth a visit for history and culture enthusiasts, offering good value for money.
ai月月Silk Road Paradise
This was a special treat for my zodiac year. Although I've lived in Xi'an for years, I've never been before. It's definitely not comparable to Disneyland, but the rides were enough for the kids. It was quite crowded during the Spring Festival, with long queues for the bumper cars and log flume. We played from noon until dark. The only downside was the limited dining options and the poor value for money. We also happened to catch a fireworks show during the Spring Festival.
Anonymous userTHE GREAT QIN
Absolutely amazing! An immersive performance. The front-row tickets in Section A were incredibly good value. It was the best show I've seen in Xi'an; the stage design and sound were superb. Of course, you can't nitpick historical details in an artistic performance. One very good thing was that no one was taking pictures or videos with their phones, and no one left early or wandered around. This was much better than the "Song of Everlasting Regret"!
波士顿龙虾哥Shaanxi History Museum
My trip to the Shaanxi History Museum was made possible by the wonderful explanations given by our guide, Ms. June. Her profound knowledge and engaging approach, rather than simply reciting from a textbook, transformed each artifact into a captivating and accessible narrative, clearly outlining the historical timeline of the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties. Her lively and engaging explanations, coupled with her patient answers to questions, brought the millennia-old relics to life. What was initially a rushed visit became an immersive historical journey. Highly recommended!
_M1***71Tomb of Huo Qubing
There are some stone sculptures nearby, the most famous of which is the one of Horse Trampling the Huns. This is also a very vivid statue. After all, there were not many people who could achieve such a feat at that time. Unfortunately, they died young.
老挝彭于晏Maweiyi Folk Culture Village
Maweiyi, located in Xingping City, Shaanxi Province, was built in recent years relying on the tomb of Yang Guifei and Huangshan Palace as the background. It is mainly for tourism and reflects the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty everywhere. This is where Yang Guifei died and hanged herself on a pear tree, and she is buried under the loess of Mawei.
东山树Xi'an City Wall
Xi'an City Wall truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best-preserved city walls in China! I especially recommend visiting at night. When the red lanterns are lit, the ancient brick walls appear exceptionally majestic and charming under the lights. Walking on the wall, feeling the evening breeze, watching the bustling traffic below and the Bell Tower in the distance, you really feel like you've traveled back to Chang'an (Xi'an's ancient capital). It's incredibly photogenic, especially with those red lanterns adding to the antique atmosphere. Although walking the entire length is a bit tiring, it's absolutely worth it! Five-star recommendation!
xuefeiliuyue1990Xi'an Museum
The Xi'an Museum is well worth taking your time to explore. The exhibits focus on cultural relics unearthed in Xi'an, telling the story of the city's rise and fall. The Jianfu Temple and Small Wild Goose Pagoda outside are the highlights. The gardens are quiet and uncrowded, allowing you to see national treasures while experiencing the tranquility of ancient temples and pagodas—a perfect balance of activity and peace.
门掩梨花Qinling Four Rare Animals Science Park
We traveled a long way to see Qizai, and the little guy was amazing, giving us so much face! I'm so happy! There's also the Zhao Gongming Ancestral Temple nearby; those who want to get rich should definitely visit! 😏
