    I thought that Zhongnan Mountain was a mountain, but then I climbed the Qinling Mountains to know that Zhongnan Mountain is very big. Zhongnan Mountain is a section of Qinling Mountains. Zhongnan Mountain is a beautiful place of landscape. Since ancient times, countless monks have come to ask for the Tao, and many people have lived here, without asking the world, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Good mountains, Zhongnan Mountain is tall and tall, and the sun and moon are born on the mountain. Good scenery, other places have been shrouded by night, and the peaks of the south have the afterglow of the sunset. Good people, the people on the mountain are straightforward and calm. Good sound, the mountain wind blows the pine and cypress, the pine branches and pine leaves are whirring in the wind, the wind and pine sound echo between the thousands of mountains, very crisp and exciting. There is such a place, I really regret reading, and it is better to pursue merit and fame than to enjoy the beautiful scenery here. What do you say?

    Having often wandered the mountains, I thought I was used to seeing all kinds of natural wonders, but I was still pleasantly surprised by Cuihua Mountain. ⛰️Scenic Overview: Xi'an's "back garden," a living geological textbook, filled with spectacular relics left by landslides millions of years ago, known as a "natural landslide museum." 🚗Budget-Saving Transportation Tips: Very close to Xi'an city center, a short drive of an hour or two allows you to switch from city hustle and bustle to the tranquility of the mountains. Navigate to "Parking Lot 1" (25 yuan/day), highly recommended for weekdays! The shuttle bus goes directly to the summit without queuing. ✨Three Must-See Scenic Wonders: 1. 🚣Tianchi (Heavenly Lake): Who would have thought that such a vast, azure alpine lake could be hidden at an altitude of over 1000 meters? A walk around the lake, with a gentle breeze on your face, is incredibly refreshing. Boating on Tianchi is only 30 yuan/person, an amazing value. ‍♀️The lake reflects windmills and clouds, breathtakingly beautiful! 2. 🧊Ice Wind Cave: This is the soul of Cuihua Mountain! Crawling into the crevice formed by massive collapsed rocks, the wind cave is refreshingly cool. A few steps further into the ice cave, you're instantly transported to winter. You can even see icicles on the cave walls. In the sweltering summer, this is practically a natural giant refrigerator. 3. ⛰️Cuihua Peak: The view from the summit is the ultimate reward for all the hard work. On a clear day, you can see the city of Chang'an to the north and the Qinling Mountains to the south—a truly magnificent vista. Every shot is a masterpiece! 📸Photogenic Spots 1️⃣West side of Tianchi Lake boardwalk: Get the perfect combination of windmills, lake view, and mountain scenery. 2️⃣Ice Cave entrance rock area: Dark-themed cave photos are a must! 3️⃣Autumn must-photograph: The Eighteen Bends tunnel with its red leaves creates a cinematic filter. ✅ Hard-earned experience summary ‼ Wear non-slip shoes! Some trails are slippery with moss. ‼ Bring plenty of snacks! Grilled sausages on the mountain are 8 yuan each, a bit pricey. ‼ For family trips, choose the Yifangyuan route! It's gentle, not tiring, and you can even play in the water. ‼ Don't come on rainy days! The fog is so thick you can't see your hand in front of your face. A tried-and-tested 3-hour easy route: Mountain Gate → Shuttle Bus → Tianchi Lake → Ice Wind Cave → Snack Street → Shuttle Bus Back. For those kids who don't know where to take them on weekends, just go for it! #CuihuaMountain #BeautifulScenery #TianchiLake #IceWindCave #PhotoSpot

    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.

    Stepping into the Qinling Wildlife Park, you're greeted by lush greenery and a refreshing atmosphere. The drive-through safari in the predator enclosure is thrilling, with lions and tigers strolling leisurely and exuding power. The petting zoo offers close-up interactions with adorable red pandas and giraffes. A leisurely stroll through the park, listening to birdsong and watching animals play, allows you to connect with nature and heal your mind and body. You can experience the vitality of the animals while relaxing and having a truly enjoyable time.

    The off-season is very suitable, and you can spend the whole day there. It is right outside the subway station, and the transportation is very convenient. It is opposite the MixC, and you can eat and play when you are tired. However, there are many people in the peak season, and it will be hot inside.

    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.
