A must-visit ancient town in a lifetime
If you have visited too many commercialized ancient towns and are tired of the same aesthetic, Qingmuchuan, located at the westernmost part of Shaanxi, at the junction of Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Gansu provinces, is still worth a look. Especially for those from Xi'an and northern Sichuan, a weekend is all you need to enjoy a walk in an ancient town surrounded by green mountains and clear waters.
For weekend trips, high-speed rail is recommended. Departing from Xi'an, you can reach Ningqiang South Station or Guangyuan Station in Sichuan within 2 hours by high-speed rail. Then you can take a taxi or a bus to the ancient town. We traveled during the National Day holiday when we had more time, so we chose to drive. We took our time and stopped at service areas to rest, even making a detour through Guangyuan, and it took us six to seven hours to arrive. One and a half hours of the journey was on mountain roads with beautiful scenery!

Ancient Town Tours around Xi'an
This ancient town should be considered the farthest one within Shaanxi Province. Its style is distinctly different from the ancient towns in Guanzhong and Ankang-Shangluo. It resembles the style of Sichuan ancient towns. The drive is quite long; one way is to drive to Ningqiang, then take a 100-kilometer mountain road. Another way is to take the highway from Guangyuan, which only involves a 30-kilometer mountain road. Qingmuchuan is basically well-developed commercially, with both new and old streets. Visitors usually choose to arrive on the same day and pick a quaint courtyard to stay in. There are plenty of places to play, and even just strolling around takes over two hours. The food leans towards Sichuan cuisine, with fish as the main feature. They also sell snacks like walnut buns, dried tofu, and other nibbles.

It is connected to Qingchuan County, Sichuan Province in the west, and borders Wudu County and Kang County, Gansu Province in the north. It has the reputation of 'one foot stepping on three provinces, rooster crowing in three provinces'. The ancient town was founded in the Ming Dynasty, formed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and flourished in the Republic of China.

Hanzhong Tourism | Citywalk Check-in at the 'Three Western Han Sites'
Shaanxi Hanzhong,
my hometown,
a small eighteenth-tier city.
But with a long history,
it is an existence that cannot be ignored during the Han and Three Kingdoms periods!
'Ming repairs the plank road, secretly crossing Chencang' originated here,
the hometown of Baosi, who 'played with the feudal lords with beacon fires', is also here,
and there are more, including Liu Bang's altar to honor Han Xin, Cai Lun's papermaking, the tomb of Marquis Wu... ...
Between two mountains lies a basin, with the Qinling Mountains to the north and the Bashan Mountains to the south,
the climate here is pleasant,
and the life of Hanzhong people is also very leisurely,
the slow pace of the small city makes it hard not to love.
As a native of Hanzhong,
I recommend a citywalk route that checks in all the 'Three Western Han Sites',
with many tree-lined roads, mostly small paths,
many houses in the old city area are still old-style Siheyuan architecture🏠,
and taking photos for check-in also has a great atmosphere~
⭐️ 'Three Western Han Sites'
Yinma Pool, Ancient Hantai, and Baijiang Altar sites, respectively, are the landscapes and the East Lake where Han King Liu Bang's horses🐎 drank water during his time in Hanzhong, the Qixing Terrace royal residence, and the site where Han Xin was appointed as a general. Currently, Ancient Hantai and Baijiang Altar are combined as the Hanzhong City Museum~
🚶🏼♀️ 'Citywalk Route'
Ancient Hantai►T-junction Street►Yinma Pool►Zhongshan Street►Jianguo Road►South First Ring Road►Baijiang Altar
💡 'Route Highlights'
Check in at the Three Western Han Sites in one go,
the old Hanzhong area along the way retains many old Siheyuan residences built since the Qing Dynasty,
some for feng shui,
some transformed into more design-savvy private residences,
some turned into bars, coffee shops,
the most checked-in is the old bookstore at the corner of T-junction Street,
the owner will make recommendations based on inquiries.
The whole journey is about 1.6 kilometers, very relaxed,
and while walking, you can also check in the surrounding delicacies,
such as Zhang Mingfu's noodle skin, Zhanyingba Alley's potstickers, walnut buns, Xiaoju Bangbang noodles, etc.~

The rapeseed flowers in Hanzhong are blooming, are you sure you don't want to come and enjoy the flowers?
🎉I never understood why people would go to see rapeseed flowers until I went to see them myself. Only then did I realize that the rapeseed flower sea in Hanzhong is really too beautiful! 😍I'll give everyone a quick look first haha~
This year's main venue is in Chencun, Nanzhen County🎈, and we went to the Hantai sub-venue, which is the closest to the Hantai district urban area, Huangtang Tianyuan Flower Township. There are tens of thousands of acres of rapeseed flower sea here, and it is currently the peak blooming period. There are also wheat fields and lakes to set off the scenery, making it very photogenic📷.
It is generally less than 10 kilometers from Hanzhong urban area🚗, you can drive or ride an electric bike, and it only takes about ten minutes to get there, very convenient. If you take the bus, you can take the 808 from the urban area to the Jinguai intersection, then you need to walk more than 1 kilometer to Huangtang, and there are also rapeseed flower fields along the way🌼.
The viewing route in Huangtang is around the lake loop🛣, and it takes us more than an hour to walk around slowly while enjoying the flowers and taking pictures. The flower sea here is mainly yellow rapeseed flowers, and there is a small patch of colorful rapeseed flowers in yellow, pink, and orange on the small hillside by the lake where the windmills are, which is very beautiful🌈.
There are snacks and drinks in the commercial area🍹, and you can also go to the nearby anime village to eat. On the other side of the entrance, there is also a large children's play area🎡, which is very suitable for bringing children to play.
There are a lot of people coming to see the rapeseed flowers🤗, but I also noticed some uncivilized behaviors. I hope everyone will watch the flowers civilly, do not pick, do not break, do not trample, and do not randomly destroy or take away decorative props, so that more people can enjoy this beauty🤝.

The old street is not long, just over a hundred meters, with narrow streets paved with blue and white stones. Some shops have been renovated but still retain the original appearance of the ancient street. You can stroll on the bluestone paths of the old street, leisurely enjoying the peace and tranquility.
The night scene here should not be missed either, with fiery red lanterns, exquisite brick carvings, and the old street archways full of ancient charm, giving people a sense of traveling through time and space.

Here's our route share: Depart from Mianyang——Liuba in Hanzhong——(Play in Liuba Old Street, honestly, the bacon is really delicious, the old persimmon tree🍅 by the river has a different kind of beauty)
——Feng County (Liuba——Feng County is the "most beautiful rural road", we were a few days late, locals said there was a big wind, many leaves have fallen off) Originally planned to stay in Feng County, but due to a traffic accident ahead, we changed our plans temporarily and stayed in Yuhuangmiao Town, which is the end of the most beautiful rural road, a town full of ginkgo trees, asked two homestays, the prices were a bit high, so we found a clean and tidy farmhouse on the edge of the town, run by a family, very warm, sanitary conditions are also good, very cost-effective.
——Ancient Ginkgo Tree (More than 3000 years old ginkgo tree, many people make wishes there, there is a small rural market nearby, you can buy some mountain goods, the price is affordable)
——Zibo Mountain Forest Park (You will pass "Zhang Liang Temple" on the way down the mountain, if interested, you can also visit) When we arrived at Zibo Mountain, the colorful forest had already ended, plus the weather was not good, visibility was low, so we did not go up the mountain, temporarily changed our destination, and also accidentally harvested the first snow, see another post on the homepage for details.
⚠️In general, you don't necessarily need to make a complete plan, the scenery is on the road, the national road conditions are very good, many photos are taken on the road, stop and play when you see beautiful scenery, stay nearby when it gets dark, never rush, the whole trip is relaxed and happy.

Liu Ba Old Street
Liu Ba Old Street's Liu Ba Book House is a place where every visitor is bound to linger for a while.
Liu Ba Book House is divided into a front and back yard, with the front yard facing the street filled with books. People who come here order a cup of tea, pick a favorite book, and sit for an entire afternoon.
The back yard is an inn, where you can stay for a while and feel its comfort and coziness.
Time here is too lazy.
Look, the sunlight sneaks onto the succulents, sneaks into the corner of the wall, and gently warms the time, and we grow old secretly in these endlessly leisurely years.
When night falls, Liu Ba Old Street takes on a different look.
The moonlight, starlight, and lamplight reflect off each other, and even the slightly cool breeze is too gentle to put into words.

Must-go for parent-child trip | Liuba Old Street
A great place for Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day parent-child trips
Liuba is a less-known check-in spot
📍
Very close to Xi'an and Hanzhong
The old street is not as bustling as the ancient towns outside.
But it's very photogenic
There are coffee shops☕️, small bars🍷, restaurants🥣, and book rooms📖
