Looking forward to seeing Fireworks Alley become popular again in 2024
In recent years, the popularity of Zhouzhi Water Street has been declining, but the Fireworks Alley inside has been widely shared on social media.
🎆Zhouzhi Water Street is built along both banks of the Sha River
It deeply explores the history and culture of the Sha
It is a large theme park built with the local customs and characteristics of Zhouzhi
🎆Fireworks Alley, plain tiles during the day, lights at night. The Fireworks Alley in the night is like magic, wearing a gorgeous coat
🎆The architecture and layout of Fireworks Alley are completely in the style of ancient buildings, with all kinds of lanterns hanging all over the streets and alleys
🎆The bonfire platform is in the center of the alley square, the charcoal fire is burning vigorously, a group of people gather around, warm and cozy
🎆There are many homestays inside, you can stay for a night and stroll around the Water Street
‼️Fireworks Alley is free on weekdays, this year there are New Year lantern festival, equestrian, intangible cultural heritage performances, iron flower making, tickets are required for entry
💕Zhouzhi Water Street Fireworks Alley
📍North bank of Sha River Scenic Area, Erqu Street, Zhouzhi County, Xi'an City
Xi'an 1h arrival, lying flat, walking the baby, the lantern festival, circus, iron flower!
The night view is so good that there is no need to come in the morning. There are more people on weekends, but many shops are not open on weekdays. If you want to be bustling and lively, go to the alley on weekends. It's a bit too quiet on weekdays.
Arriving around 4 o'clock is the most appropriate. This way, the performance is compact and you can see the alley night view and bonfire party. Enter the park at 6:30 in the evening to watch the performance (go in, interact with the lantern festival puppets, walk to the circus at 7 o'clock, the circus ends at 8 o'clock, come out and watch the iron flower directly)
There are many parking lots in P! Be sure to go to parking lot No.1 to walk less, you can park directly at the entrance
The iron flower is outdoors and it's colder there than in Xi'an. Be sure to wear thick! (Keep the ticket, don't throw it away after entering, it will be recycled when watching the circus)

Qinling Four Rare Animals Science Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Qinling Four Treasures Science Park in Xi'an, Shaanxi
The Qinling Four Treasures Science Park is located to the west of Louguantai in Zhouzhi County, Xi'an. It serves as an important showcase for the achievements of Shaanxi Province in ecological civilization construction, the biodiversity of the Qinling Mountains, and the conservation of wild animals in Shaanxi Province. The park opened on May 28, 2021, and is home to a variety of precious wild animals including red pandas, black bears, Reeves's muntjac, goral, golden eagles, long-eared owls, eagle owls, common kestrels, vultures, and Lady Amherst's pheasants. It also houses the world's only captive brown giant panda, 'Qi Zai'.
Here are some travel tips:
• Itinerary suggestion: Starting from downtown Xi'an, you can take the highway, covering about 80 kilometers, and navigate directly to the Qinling Four Treasures Science Park, which takes about 1.5 hours. It is recommended to depart earlier and aim to arrive by 9:30 am. The park is of moderate size, and the external parking area is not large, so parking can be difficult if you arrive late. The park opens around 9:30 am, and there is a feeding session by the keepers after opening, where you can see Qi Zai eating and interacting with visitors.
• Tour route: Pavilion 1 is at the highest point of the Four Treasures Park, and you can take a shuttle bus directly there (ticket price is 10 yuan per person). After reaching the highest point by bus, you can slowly walk down. The star of Pavilion 1 is A Bao, one of Qi Zai's fathers-in-law, who was bitten by Qi Zai and became known as 'Wrench Ear'. Qi Zai is in Pavilion 2, located slightly to the left among the four enclosures. The design of the eight enclosures in the Four Treasures Pavilion is very good. The indoor part is divided into three rooms. One is a pure enclosure, which is a relatively independent resting place for the giant panda, not visible to visitors and only accessible to staff. Another is a room with large glass windows, which is also the activity room for the giant panda, equipped with a pool, activity frames, and other facilities, allowing visitors to see the panda's indoor activities. The third part is the passage from indoors to outdoors, designed under the visitor's walkway, with a transparent high-strength glass ceiling, allowing visitors to look down and directly see the giant panda walking from indoors to the yard. The fourth part is the outdoor activity area for the panda, nearly 800 square meters, with a simulated mountain slope design. The lowest end has a wall and a visitor platform, allowing visitors to have a full view of the panda's outdoor activities at eye level. This design is fantastic.
• Other experiences: In addition to pandas, there are also other rare animals such as takins, crested ibis, and Qinling golden snub-nosed monkeys, which are also very worth seeing. Around the Four Treasures Park, located at Louguantai in Zhouzhi County, is a very particular place in Chinese Taoism. There is a large sightseeing garden nearby, and friends interested in Chinese Taoist culture can take the opportunity to visit.
If you plan to visit, it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance and to be mindful of protecting wildlife and the environment.

The curious brown panda
At the Foping Panda Base, we learned that there are not only one species of pandas in China, but the Qinling panda and the Sichuan panda belong to two different groups. The Qinling panda is older and more primitive than the Sichuan panda. They may have been a family 300,000 years ago, but now they each have their own genetic system. The Qinling panda is more like a cat, with a rounder face, shorter mouth, smaller ears and head, and is cuter 😊. These national treasures are more precious and are not allowed to be rented out. They only live in the Qinling Mountains.
During our stay in Zhouzhi, we were informed by the enthusiastic waiter that there is a rare brown panda in the Qinling Four Treasures Science Park, so we added a project to our itinerary: Qinling Four Treasures Science Park.
The Qinling Four Treasures Science Park is the only rare wild animal protection base in Shaanxi Province and is a modern park integrating culture, science, education, and tourism. In the park, there are not only the four treasures of Qinling (pandas, crested ibis, golden monkeys, antelopes), but also red pandas, black bears, small deer, gazelles, golden eagles, long-eared owls, eagle owls, red falcons, vultures, red-bellied pheasants and other rare wild animals in the Qinling area.
Compared with the pandas we saw in Foping, we saw more Qinling pandas in this park. There are not only adult pandas here, but also panda cubs, and the world's only captive brown panda-'Qi Zai'. Super cute
Park ticket: 30 yuan
Opening hours: 9:00—17:30
