Are there hidden attractions in the Huashan ticket? Explore the complete Huashan journey!

🌈Many people have been to Huashan, admiring the strange peaks and rocks, cliffs, etc. of Huashan, but many people do not know that the Huashan ticket also includes this attraction. From Emperor Han Wu, ⭐56 emperors have 'checked in' here, but now many people ignore it. This is the royal sacrificial temple--Xiyue Temple. 📍Xiyue Temple is located in Huayin City, Shaanxi, only more than one kilometer away from 'Huashan North Station', which is very convenient to depart from Xi'an. For all tourists, Xiyue Temple is included in the Huashan scenic area, and you can visit Xiyue Temple for free with the purchase of Huashan tickets! If local friends love cultural relics, it is also strongly recommended to visit alone, with convenient transportation, and the ticket is only 15 yuan. ✨The unique charm of Xiyue Temple✨ 🌳As a temple for the worship of the Emperor of Huashan, Xiyue Temple was built during the Han Wu Emperor period and has a history of over two thousand years. 56 emperors have held grand ceremonies here to pray for the country's peace and the people's security. In China, it is rare to gather so many emperors to 'check in'! 🏛The scale and form of this royal sacrificial temple far exceed ordinary small temples. Its architectural complex is symmetrical along the north-south axis, with a complete layout and a grand scale. It is in a straight line with the main peak of Huashan. Standing in the Wanshou Pavilion, thinking about the grandeur of the ancient sacrifices, it is awe-inspiring. 📸When visiting Xiyue Temple, you will find: 1⃣ A large palace complex: Most of them were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are quite similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing, spectacular, with red walls and golden roofs, and it is an excellent shooting location for photography enthusiasts. 2⃣ Precious cultural relics: such as the 'First Stele in the World' written by Emperor Tang Xuanzong, the 'Yuelian Lingzhu' stone forehead written by Emperor Qianlong, etc., are all witnesses of history. For friends who are interested in humanities and history, this place is definitely not to be missed! 🏞Huashan Scenic Area is a brilliant pearl in Shaanxi. Many tourists come here to feel its magnificent scenery. But in fact, Xiyue Temple, which complements Huashan, is also worth a visit. For friends who come to Huashan for tourism, it is strongly recommended not to miss this Xiyue Temple where culture and nature blend! 📍Address: Xiyue Temple, Huayin City, Shaanxi 🎫Tickets: Included in the Huashan Scenic Area ticket for free; separate tickets are 15 yuan. 🚗Transportation: It is only 1.4 kilometers away from Huashan North Station. After taking the high-speed train from Xi'an to Huashan North Station, you can walk there. After visiting the Huashan Scenic Area, the Tourist Service Center has a free tourist bus directly to Xiyue Temple (you need to take it with the Huashan ticket). 🕘Time arrangement: It is recommended to visit for 2-3 hours to fully feel the thousand-year history and cultural heritage here. 🌟Tips: Put on comfortable shoes, because there are many ancient buildings here that you need to explore on foot. At the same time, bring a camera or mobile phone to capture the beautiful scenery and historical moments here!
