Xianyang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Zhengguo Canal Scenic Spot Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Visiting Zhengguo Canal is a great choice, and I recommend it
Firstly, the Jinghe Grand Canyon is known as the "Number One Grand Canyon in Guanzhong," where the landscape is both exquisitely beautiful with clear waters and spectacular with deep valleys and gorges. Sailing through it, you will experience the natural wonder of the creator's craftsmanship and the precipitous cliffs.
Secondly, Zhengguo Lake is also a major highlight. This is a landscape of half lake and half peninsula formed by the waters of the Jinghe River winding around the mountains. Taking a boat ride to enjoy the lake and mountains, you can fully enjoy the tranquility and comfort.
Lastly, you must not miss the Floating Cloud Platform! This is a challenging and thrilling glass viewing platform. Standing on it, you can have an unobstructed view of the beauty of the Jinghe River and feel the magnificence and vastness of nature.
Additionally, the red leaf viewing at Zhengguo Canal is also a unique feature, especially in autumn when the red leaves cover the mountains and valleys, creating a beautiful scene that complements the landscape.
Whether you love the beauty of mountains and rivers or seek thrills and challenges, Zhengguo Canal can satisfy your needs.
Xi'an Outskirts Niche Tour | Zhengguo Canal Day Trip
| Zhengguo Canal Day Trip. The outskirts of Xi'an are perfect for a niche tour | Zhengguo Canal Day Trip. April is just too suitable for spring outings!
I can only say that Zhengguo Canal under the clear sky is too beautiful! The water is blue-green and transparent! The beauty is unfiltered and direct!
It takes about 1 and a half hours to drive from Xi'an to the Zhengguo Canal in Xianyang.
Tour route: Enter the scenic area and take the bus directly to the terminal station, then follow the map sign at the terminal station and play along the downhill route. It takes about 15 minutes to walk down from the terminal station to reach the place where you can take a bamboo raft.
Attention!! The canal area where the bamboo rafts are located is the real Zhengguo Canal. The water at the bus terminal station is Zhengguo Lake, which is army green and not very nice to look at. It is not recommended to take a sightseeing boat here. You must walk down to the bamboo raft area where the water is beautiful!
After taking the bamboo raft, you can return to the bus stop and take the bus downhill for one stop. After getting off, walk down to the plank road to the location of photos P6P8-9. The scenery here is also very beautiful and worth visiting.
The whole trip takes about 4-5 hours, and you can't enter the scenic area after 4 pm.
Zhengguo Canal is just an hour's drive from downtown Xi'an and offers a magnificent ice and snow world
The new year is the perfect season to appreciate the ice waterfalls! You don't need to go to Iceland or Antarctica, just an hour away from Xi'an to Zhengguo Canal, and you can encounter the blue ice waterfalls. Miss it and you'll have to wait another year.

|Korean water engineer, good at canal construction. Zheng Guo Canal - Korean water engineer, good at canal construction.
At the end of the Warring States Period, Korea was afraid of Qin, and had no strength to attack Qin, nor to resist the attack of Qin people. Someone suggested that Korean water engineer Zheng Guo enter Qin, suggest canal construction, and thus consume Qin's manpower and wealth, weaken Qin's army. This move backfired, Guanzhong became a fertile land for thousands of miles, Qin's strength became stronger, and gradually annexed the six countries. In 2016, Zheng Guo Canal was successfully applied for world heritage.

Qinling Mausoleum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
For thousands of years, in order to be rich and wealthy, gold and silver jewels, the tomb thieves who went to the tombs are always presenting endlessly. However, in the vast stolen tombs, the royal tombs have often become the first choice for the tomb thieves because of the vastness of the baby. In the change of history, there is simply no one who survived the mausoleum of the emperor, and was simply "disturbed by the dream." Of course, there are also headaches for the tomb thieves, that is, Wu Zetians "Wan Nian Shou" - Fuling.
The tomb and murals of Prince Zhang Huai of the Tang Dynasty
The tomb of Prince Zhang Huai is composed of a tomb passage, a transition hole, a well, a corridor, a front tomb room, and a rear tomb room, with a total length of 71 meters. There are 6 small niches on the east and west walls of the second to fourth wells, where tri-colored tomb-guarding beasts, tri-colored standing figurines, horse-riding figurines, ceremonial figurines, pottery standing figurines, pottery horses, painted pottery, and green-glazed flower pots are placed. There are more than fifty groups of murals in the tomb of Prince Zhang Huai, covering an area of more than 400 square meters, most of which are well preserved. From the content of the painted subjects, there are the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, travel, envoys, ceremonies, horse rust, singing and dancing, games, as well as court maids and accompanying officials, etc.
The Beauty of Qianling: Appreciating the Magnificence and Glory of Ancient Royalty!
Qianling, one of the dazzling eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, is located on Liangshan, six kilometers north of the county seat of Qian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. Here lie Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, jointly guarding their royal dream. The mausoleum city wall is heavy, each side of the inner city has its own characteristics, with a total length of more than 5,300 meters and a total area of nearly 2.4 million square meters, fully demonstrating the royal majesty.
Qianling was built in the first year of Tang Guangzhu in 684 and completed the main construction in the second year of Shenlong in 706. The unique architectural style of the mausoleum based on the mountain makes it stand out. The most eye-catching here is the grand layout of the mausoleum and the many exquisite Tang Dynasty stone carvings, which are like witnesses of history, telling the past glory. In addition to the main tomb, Qianling also has seventeen small accompanying tombs, witnessing the life and death of the royal family and meritorious officials.
Qianling, with its intact main tomb preservation status, has become the best among the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty and is the only Tang tomb that has not been robbed. On March 4, 1961, Qianling was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council, establishing its important position in China's historical and cultural heritage.
Time flies, on April 18, 2023, the Qianling site officially became the fourth batch of national archaeological site parks, officially joining the national team's big family. This honor is not only an affirmation of Qianling's historical value, but also an expectation for its future protection and development.
Today I would like to tell a few words about Chinese pyramids. This is Qianling 乾陵。There is probably the hugest pyramid in the world. its height is about 300 m. Xianyang / Xi'an surroundings counts more than 200 pyramid-shaped hills where emperors, their wifes, princess, generals and high ranked servants were buried. Most famous mound belongs to the Qing Shi Huang Di. But we will try to understand what does make Qianling special. At first, we have to note, that all mounds were made from pressed soil, and only Qianling demonstrates stone walls. Qianling actually is considered as a mountain, there is accurately avoided fact to name it pyramid. In this location (photo is presented) we can see two other mounds, those belongs to Wuza Tian empresses and her husband. These two really looks like non professional replica compared to tall mountain)))))
Fact number two. All mounds construction / creation process was documented with details by lovely writing ancient Chinese bureaucrats, except... Qianling mountain.
Tourists are not allowed to climb Qianling, but it's easy to do. Just turn right from tourist path, come around and start to climb trough the forest from back side. Well, the no name pyramid welcomes you and gives you understanding of the situation. Ancient people tried to copy, to replicate gorgeous monument, but their effort resulted in simple soil hills construction. My wife and I have visited almost all big mounds in Shaanxi plain area, but only Qianling lonely and forgotten pyramid is made of rock with its big stone steps like a huge stair. It looks so old, ancient, even archaic. You will feel that, the pyramid had stood before Chinese ancient civilization bloom, watched epoch by epoch, and it is still standing now.
How to get there : from Xi'an 城西客运站 just take a intercity bus to 乾县,busses departs every 30-40 minutes. From 乾县站 after arriving take a cabby (10 min) or any public bus (30 min) to the Qianling 乾陵。
