东篱把酒@On a crisp autumn morning, I once again stepped into the Ganquan Grand Canyon. The morning light slanted into the Birch Gully, making the ochre and dark green veins on the rock walls resemble ancient verses ablaze. As a seasoned visitor, I've witnessed its transformation from a pristine, hidden paradise into a place that blends wildness and warmth. Compared to my last visit, I noticed the scenic area has made significant efforts to enhance the experience: 1. Cultural revitalization, breaking the monotony. The lively and enthusiastic Shaanxi folk dance in front of the visitor center, and the skillful finger movements of the inheritors at the intangible cultural heritage paper-cutting stalls—these added a cultural touch, allowing the geological wonders to be heard before they were seen; 2. Concrete services, ensuring peace of mind. Clear signage and staff on key routes reduced the anxiety of exploring the diverse canyons like Longba Gully and Mudan Gully, allowing for a more relaxed experience; 3. Inclusive policies, demonstrating sincerity. The free admission policy, covering children, the elderly, journalists, and other groups, along with the rise of guesthouses and farmhouses run by villagers, such as "Fengmeizi Courtyard," allows tourists to experience the Loess Plateau's charm more deeply and has genuinely boosted the income of local villagers. Travel Tips: If time is limited, Birch Valley is a must-see, especially the 300-meter stretch of scenery that is particularly classic, with its streams, green moss, and ever-changing light and shadow. It's recommended to avoid the morning rush on holidays to better appreciate the valley's tranquility. Based on my observation, weekdays are a better time to visit. You can also try the guesthouses run by local villagers or sample local delicacies such as potato pancakes and mixed noodles to experience authentic Shaanxi flavors. A small suggestion for operators: Currently, tourism products are still somewhat monotonous, with "valley sightseeing" dominating the market. Consider combining resources such as Laoshan National Forest Park to develop in-depth products like ecological health and wellness and geological research to extend tourists' stay. There is still room for improvement in tourism infrastructure; for example, road congestion and parking difficulties still occur during holidays. The cultural significance of the valley has not yet been fully explored. Beyond the natural scenery, consider adding brief explanatory signs about the formation of Danxia landforms and the ecological protection of the canyon at suitable locations to enhance the depth of the visit. The beauty of Ganquan Grand Canyon lies not only in its breathtaking natural landscape, but also in its efforts to make this beauty more inclusive and approachable. If the attractions and experiences can be further enriched and deepened, this "Chinese Antelope Canyon" will undoubtedly offer travelers an even more profound experience.

silly-huiThis is a similar landform that has become very popular in China in recent years, known as China's Wave Valley. Formed during the Cretaceous period, 96 million years ago, it is also composed of red sandstone eroded by wind and water. Its lines and textures are strikingly similar to the Wave Valley in the United States, but its overall color is predominantly ochre-red. The scenic area is divided into several zones, such as Flame Danxia, Red Cliff Danxia, and Earth Core Danxia. Wave Valley can be combined with Red Stone Gorge and Zhenbeitai in Yulin, as well as Xiangshawan in Ordos, to create a scenic and historical tour of northern Shaanxi and southern Inner Mongolia. Tour duration: 4 hours or more

Anonymous userThe Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is quite large. The mausoleum itself is located on a mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a large square for worship and a temple that enshrines various items related to the Yellow Emperor. It is well worth a visit. However, climbing up the mountain without taking an electric cart is quite strenuous.

WH1962The Yanchuan Yellow River Qiankun Bay Scenic Area is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction built around the Yellow River. The river meanders majestically within the park, and Qiankun Bay itself, with its unique grandeur and scenery, was named one of China's ten most beautiful canyons by *China Geography Magazine*. The Yellow River, flowing for millennia, uniquely forms the "First Bend of the Yellow River"—Qiankun Bay—with a magnificent 320-degree arc within the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon of Yanchuan, Shaanxi. Here, the Yellow River changes its turbulent course, meandering like a dragon, perfectly blending the grandeur of the Loess Plateau with the philosophical concept of Yin and Yang, forming a naturally formed "Tai Chi diagram."

M52***83Hongshi Gorge is located 3 kilometers north of Yulin, Shaanxi Province. It is named after the red rocks on the mountain. The excavation of Hongshi Gorge can be traced back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It was once the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom. In the Ming Dynasty, Hongshi Gorge became an important military fortress due to its dangerous geographical location and was closely connected with the Great Wall. In the modern revolutionary struggle in northern Shaanxi, Hongshi Gorge played an important role and became one of the important revolutionary activity sites of the CPC Central Committee in northern Shaanxi. The cliffs on both sides of the river valley are covered with cliff carvings and caves. There are more than 160 stone carvings in total, including regular script, cursive script, official script and seal script, which are called "Forest of Steles on the Frontier".

136***91The entrance fee plus the sightseeing bus cost 68 yuan, and parking was 3 yuan. It took most of the day to fully explore the area, but I didn't visit Xiangguo Temple or Taohuayu. I felt the Xumishan Giant Buddha was even more impressive than the Yungang Grottoes and Luoyang Grottoes. The climb to the Xumishan Zisun Palace was steep, requiring a near-vertical climb using iron chains.

M23***30A great place to see authentic archaeology. The Soldier Cave is highly recommended. Unfortunately, I missed the show due to lack of time. The camel ride was affordable. The so-called special transportation options, aside from the tractor, were just average. The museum and the Soldier Cave offer free guided tours, which was highly recommended.

This winter, I finally had the opportunity to come to the ski resort I had long admired and experienced a unique ice and snow journey. The following is my experience of playing at the XX ski resort, and I share this joy with you. 1.

Although I fell several times during the process, the feeling of flying on the snow made me unable to stop. 2. Intermediate track challenge After getting familiar with the basic essentials of skiing, I began to try the intermediate track. Compared with the primary track, the intermediate track has a larger slope and a faster speed. During the sliding process, I felt the thrill of speeding, and it also tested my balance and adaptability. 3. Snow entertainment projects In addition to skiing, the ski resort also has entertainment projects such as snow flying saucers, snowmobiles, and snow tanks. My friends and I tried these projects together, and laughter echoed over the ski resort, allowing us to feel the unique charm of the ice and snow world. IV. Food and rest 1. Catering services The restaurants in the ski resort provide a rich variety of food, including authentic local specialties and a variety of fast food.

NicoleFirst, park your car at the entrance to the attraction. There's a spacious parking lot, which is very convenient. Then, take the shuttle bus up the mountain. After circling for about 30 minutes, you'll reach the summit. There's a small museum with stunning views. Then, you'll start a fascinating walk, weaving and weaving, sometimes up slopes, sometimes into caves. It's quite interesting. After an hour or two of this, you'll reach another parking spot, take the shuttle bus back to the attraction ticket office, and then pick up your car and go home. The entire journey takes at least six hours. I personally think it's worth it. The entrance fee is a bit expensive.
