    A top hiking destination near Nanjing, well worth revisiting multiple times! Nanwutai Mountain boasts both the rugged grandeur of the Qinling Mountains and a thousand-year-old Buddhist Zen atmosphere. When you're tired, the scenery is breathtaking; when you stop, you can find tranquility. It's perfect for busy working professionals looking to unwind. It's about an hour's drive from the city center, or you can take the scenic shuttle bus (20 yuan one way). - The shuttle bus stops at the Huolongdong parking lot, and the hike begins there. The entire route is about 4 kilometers, passing attractions such as the Black Tiger Hall, Purple Bamboo Forest, and South Sea Hall. The Black Tiger Hall features a thousand-year-old cypress tree planted by Emperor Taizong of Tang, exuding a strong sense of history. Many people come here to pray and tie red ribbons. The route is a loop, so you won't backtrack. There are rest stops along the way where you can buy cold noodles and bottled water, so you don't have to carry too much. - Must-see highlights: At the summit, you absolutely must visit Lingyingtai and Guanyintai! Lingyingtai offers the most spectacular views. On a clear day, you can see a sea of ​​clouds stretching into the distance, overlooking the Qinling Mountains and Xi'an city. Guanyintai is the highest peak, a popular place for worshippers, and a good spot for quiet contemplation and making wishes. The chances of climbing after rain are higher, and the sight of the surging sea of ​​clouds is truly unforgettable. 1. Some sections of the steps are quite steep, so wearing non-slip sneakers is essential. 2. The temperature at the summit is 5-8 degrees Celsius lower than in the city, so even in summer, bring a light jacket. Summary It's not overly commercialized, not too crowded, and the natural scenery and cultural heritage are both excellent. Spending most of a weekend here for hiking, breathing in the fresh air, watching the sea of ​​clouds encircle the mountains, and seeing ancient temples nestled in the forest is definitely a great way to de-stress.

    The daytime and nighttime views are both fantastic! 👍🏻 The park offers a variety of activities and is definitely worth a visit. We strolled around before dark and stayed until nightfall – the nighttime views were absolutely amazing! Next time, we'll definitely go with friends in a different season! ✌🏻

    My stay at the Furongge Hotel during my trip to Xi'an was an absolute stellar experience, definitely a five-star choice! The hotel's location is superb, right next to the west gate of the Tang Paradise, just a 2-minute walk from the park. A 5-minute walk to the right leads to the "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" themed street, and a few minutes' stroll away is the brightly lit Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Da Ci'en Temple are also within easy reach, making it super convenient to walk back to the hotel after a nighttime stroll. The surrounding area has convenient subway and bus services, making it easy to get to attractions such as the Shaanxi History Museum and Qujiang Pool Relics Park without having to worry about planning routes. The hotel's overall style is inspired by the Tang Dynasty, with a bright and spacious interior decorated with elegant Tang-style furnishings. The wooden furnishings are warm and textured, and the Tang paintings on the walls and exquisite ornaments exude ancient charm. Every step reveals a beautiful scene, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Wearing Hanfu in the lobby or courtyard makes for amazing photos, instantly giving you a sense of immersion in the Tang Dynasty. The guest rooms are clean, spacious, and bright, with soft and skin-friendly bedding. The butler service is also very thoughtful and attentive. Any needs after check-in are promptly addressed and resolved. In addition to a complimentary gift bag and exquisite welcome fruit, there is also a complimentary afternoon tea every day with a wide variety of delicious options, and a bedtime dessert in the evening. The attention to detail is truly remarkable!

    Overall, it was fantastic. I took my grandparents there, and it was a novelty for them. The aquarium had a lot of fish and animals, which was great. The mermaid and dolphin shows were all good. The staff were average, lacking any service, and even misleading about the ticket purchase. Overall, I highly recommend this for families or children.

    Approaching the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, its ancient and solemn structure stands tall and majestic, having withstood a thousand years of history. Climbing the pagoda offers a panoramic view of Xi'an, a truly expansive vista. Nearby, the solemn statue of Xuanzang stands nearby, while the vibrant Tang Dynasty City Never Sleeps exudes a lively atmosphere. Strolling through the park, the air is filled with the scent of incense, and the interplay of ancient architecture and light creates a scene that is both historically weighty and bustling with life. Quietly appreciating the fusion of the old and the new, one feels a sense of peace and creates an unforgettable experience.

    We couldn't get tickets to the big Shaanxi History Museum so we decided to visit this. Ticket by specific time slot is free to reserve via Trip.com. At the museum, need to exchange to paper tickets (by showing ID, entered during booking). The Museum is in a big park with Small Wild Goose Pagoda and several other scenic buildings (temples, exhibition halls). It's a lovely park to walk around in. There's a place to write wishes and ring a bell for anyone interested, We spent time walking around the park before going into the museum. It's a good and smallish museum, with more artifacts from the around the regions. Captions are in Chinese and English. There are some extra exhibition (3D) which we didn't go to.The park is a short walk from a few metro stations ; Nanshaomen (near the North Gate) and Tiyuchang (close to the Stadium). If one cannot get tickets to the Shaanxi Museum, this is good enough in my opinion.
