Liuba Old Street is located within the county town of Liuba, known as the "Throat of Qin and Han", situated in the hinterland of the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, serving as a thoroughfare between the north and the south. The street was established in the 13th year of the Jiaqing era, and it has a history of more than 200 years.
🍃
It retains the authentic charm of the Qinba mountain area, permeated with the atmosphere of ancient times and the vicissitudes of history. The old street is the memory corridor of this small town and also the most intact historical and cultural district of Liuba County. On both sides are shops and residences full of character. The private kitchen dishes on the old street are quite delicious, generally without disappointment, and the prices are affordable .
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.
📍Location: Liuba Old Street (no admission fee)
🎉During the May Day holiday, there will be a famous dog named Pudding doing business on the old street, super smart and cute. Plus, there are 12 events waiting for you to join, such as chasing the 'berry good' without blushing, being boldly indifferent, coming together for a 'crash', Live Music, and more.

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.

Zhang Liang Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Lost on the way~~ Lost, lost, accidentally wandered deep into the Qinling Mountains
The most beautiful scenery is always on the road. An accidental detour led us to the intoxicatingly beautiful small county of Liuba.
During a trip with my bestie, she confidently said she would lead the way, but we ended up getting lost and never even saw the shadow of our destination (the navigation was slow, we passed several intersections multiple times, and took many wrong turns). Just when we were about to give up, we discovered another village amidst the dark willows and bright flowers! It was indeed a trip worth taking!
We rented a car in Xi'an during the Dragon Boat Festival. In our haste, I forgot to bring a charger, which led to a series of 'bloodbaths'.
🗓 Itinerary:
The first stop on our lost journey was Lover's Valley, which marked the beginning of our two-day adventure in Liuba.
Day one: We arrived at Lover's Valley around 11 a.m. by car. Lover's Valley is an open pine forest, not actually a 'canyon', but a romantic name. Walking among the densely arranged pine trees and the mountains of little yellow flowers, and looking up at the sky was very pleasant and romantic.
Following the stairs upwards, you can see a suspension bridge hanging with red ribbons. Many couples come here, write their names on the ribbons, and hang them on the bridge to receive blessings of everlasting love!
Not far from Lover's Valley is the Lion's Gully Ranch. The place still retains its original ecology; the sky is blue, the grass is green, cattle and sheep are in herds, and horses are galloping. People can get up close and feel, touch, and they are very friendly. Many children and lambs playing together are adorable! You can also ride horses and take photos, experiencing the harmonious coexistence between humans, nature, and animals.
Leaving Lion's Gully Ranch marked the beginning of our misadventure. After taking photos, our phones were almost out of battery. When we prepared to charge them, we realized we had lost the only charging cable and power bank we had! We went back to look for it but couldn't find it! We had to walk to the county town to buy one, but halfway there, one phone ran out of battery, and on the way down the mountain, we also got a flat tire. We couldn't even go to buy a charging cable, and calling for repairs would only be possible the next morning. So, we spent the night in the car, not daring to use our phones or go anywhere, preserving the few percent of battery life we had left, waiting for rescue.
Day two: The 'savior' finally arrived in the morning, and after the car was fixed, it was already noon. We quickly ate some biangbiang noodles and roujiamo before heading to Zhang Liang Temple.
Zhang Liang Temple, also known as Han Zhang Liuhou Temple, is located in Liuhou Town, Liuba County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, and has a history of over 1800 years. The temple is built against the mountain and consists of 9 courtyards, archways, Jinlu Bridge, Sanqing Hall, the main hall, north and south gardens, Baishi Pavilion (reflecting Zhang Liang's act of paying respects to Huang Shigong), and Shushu Pavilion (reflecting Huang Shigong's act of imparting knowledge to Zhang Liang), among other scenic spots.
Zhang Liang is a familiar figure, known as one of the 'Three Heroes of Early Han' along with Han Xin and Xiao He. Liu Bang once said of him, 'He plans within the tent and decides victory a thousand miles away'.
On May 25, 2006, Zhang Liang Temple was announced by the State Council as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
After leaving Zhang Liang Temple, we navigated our way back and ended this 'wonderful journey'.
⏳ Recommended Visit Time:
A summer retreat, recommended from May to August
Two days and one night
Each scenic spot takes about 2-3 hours to visit
🚉 Transportation Tips:
Near Zhang Liang Temple, there is Liuba Bus No. 1, which goes to Liuba Bus Station. From Liuba Bus Station, there are buses to Hanzhong.
❤ Recommended Reason:
It was a very unexpected discovery, a delightful surprise, refreshing and unforgettable. The only regret is that we didn't make it to the old street of Liuba this time, but I will go again if I have the chance. It's truly worth it!
❗️ Ticket Prices:
Adults: 50 RMB per person, Children/Students: 25 RMB per person
Seniors, active military personnel, veterans, and disabled persons with valid ID can visit for free.
‼️ Friends, remember to prepare your power banks and charging cables in advance when traveling. One is not enough, bring two Don't let the same kind of 'misadventure' happen to you. I deeply realized that at night, in a desolate place, without a phone, you're basically left with nothing .

Zhang Liang Temple
Whether you come or not, it has become a fairy tale of autumn.
When you come here, you can visit Zhang Liang Temple, walk around, and feel the ancient charm.
Zhang Liang Temple is not very big, but it is worth a visit. Give it half a day, wander around, or just sit and daydream, it can help us relax and clear our minds.
If it drizzles a little, the place becomes even more quaint.
It seems to have a kind of magic that can take us into a nostalgic scene, where reaching out to touch it feels like you can sense the stories it is telling.
Tourists are rarely seen here, in the bustling world, it alone preserves a piece of tranquility.
When you come here, you might even hesitate to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing this peace.
