Cuihua Mountain in Xi'an | World Geopark, witness the spectacle of mountain collapses and earth fissures
Cuihua Mountain is located in Taiyi Palace Town, Chang'an District, Xi'an City, as a branch of the Zhongnan Mountain, situated at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, 23 kilometers away from downtown Xi'an. The main peak is 2604 meters above sea level, covering an area of 32 square kilometers. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once worshipped the Taiyi God here, it is also known as Taiyi Mountain. There is a Cuihua Temple on the mountainside, which houses the statue of the Cuihua maiden. According to folklore, the Cuihua maiden fled here to fight for her freedom of marriage, and later became an immortal and left, hence the mountain was named Cuihua Mountain.
Cuihua Mountain was formed by a massive earthquake-induced landslide and is famous for its landslide geomorphology. The earliest recorded earthquake and landslide in China occurred in the second year of King You of the Western Zhou Dynasty (780 BC), which strongly affected Cuihua Mountain. The Tianchi Lake and the landslide were at least formed during this earthquake in 780 BC. The landslide geomorphology of Cuihua Mountain mainly consists of barrier lakes (Tianchi Lake), landslide dams, collapsed stone seas, and remnant peaks and cliffs. The preservation of the landslide geomorphology is intact, which is very rare in China, hence it is known as the 'Landslide Geology Museum' and 'China's Landslide Wonder'. The main attractions include the barrier lake (Tianchi Lake), Ganqiu Pool, Geological Museum, and the ceremonial site where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshipped the Taiyi God.
The scenic area of Cuihua Mountain is very large, and it is unrealistic to visit all of it in one day. Depending on your own situation, choose a suitable hiking route that fits your ability. You can also drive to Tianchi Lake, where there is a parking lot, or you can choose to take a sightseeing bus to Tianchi Lake at the entrance of the scenic area.

A city and a mountain, suitable for weekends. But what is depressing is that I am usually used to buying tickets on Trip.com. After I come back, I found that Douyin purchased tickets for 39.5 yuan, so I am the 65 yuan ticket purchaser! ! !
Very strange natural work, the landslide formed a winding path and a peak loop, geological introduction, myths and legends, poetry and inscriptions as many, the scene blends. But there are few service facilities in the scenic spot, and it is not convenient to buy something to eat and drink.
You can walk up to Tianchi at the ticket office. This is not far away. It feels not very worthwhile to spend 20 yuan on the shuttle bus (the shuttle bus in Nanwutai travels more than 10 kilometers, which is also 20 yuan). Near Tianchi, you can go to Cuihua Peak. You can see the top of the mountain in the comment picture. The view on the top of the mountain is good. The dam in figure 1 is near the shuttle bus stop.
It's really beautiful to go in snowy days. I didn't buy a pass train and tickets for free tickets. I could only take a taxi to Wei Qunan by subway. There were many black cars at the door for 20 people, and Didi took a taxi to the door for 40. You can also go to Changning Palace, which may be a little cheaper. At the door to the scenic area, there are many stalls selling ski gloves, snowman clips, sleds, shoe covers and so on. After entering the park, take the shuttle bus, 20 people, to Tianchi, it is said that 6 kilometers, must sit, is the road up the mountain, the first stop is Tianchi, the next few stops seem to be skiing venues. Tianchi came down and bought 15 children's ski gloves and 10 bear clips. There are only stalls selling instant noodles and sausages in the park, so it is best to bring some food, especially hot water. The instant noodles are 8 yuan, and the sausage is 3-5 yuan. The price is very simple. It is not difficult to go up the mountain road, the wind tunnel is frozen and depressing, not as good as the snow mountain scenery. There is a small slope at the entrance of the mountain road. Many adults and children ski, children want to play, but buy a sled feel very tired, and discuss with the stall owner, just an hour 40 rent, the children have a good time. If you buy it, sled 65, that barbecue plate like a simple board 15. Before going out, I looked at the Internet and said that the car at the entrance of the mountain was difficult to hit. I was a little worried. We went down the mountain at about 5 o'clock. When we got off the shuttle bus, we heard a driver asking if we could go to the subway. It turned out that they also had a car to send directly to the subway Changning Palace. Adults 20, one big and one small 30, The problem is that he has to wait for the tourists behind to go down the mountain and sit as full as possible before driving, but it is better than taking a dark ride outside.
It is highly recommended that the transportation is convenient and the environment is good. The natural oxygen bar and the scenery is still beautiful, especially this autumn and autumn have autumn wine. In summer, there is a beautiful spring in summer and a spring in Jingcuihua Mountain. You can go skiing in the ski resort in winter all year round. Let you feel the beauty of wrestling [cost-effectiveness] The things inside are not expensive, mineral water ~ 2 sausage ~ 5 two are not much different from the price of things under the mountain, anyway, overall Cuihua Mountain is still worth recommending
