Location: Baoji, Shaanxi province. People's Park. Getting there: Take the fast train from Xi'an to Baoji south station...then take a taxi to People's park...pinyin name is Ren min gong yuan. People's Park in Baoji has stunning ancient architecture. I love the city of Baoji and this park offers views of statues, big buddha statues, pagodas and a beautiful lake.

🌟【Jiang Ziya Diaoyutai in Baoji｜Traveling through 3000 years See where the legend of "The Willing One Takes the Bait" took place】🌟 📖 Historical Stories｜The truth about Jiang Taigong fishing This is where Jiang Ziya, the "Grandmaster of a Hundred Schools of Thought", lived in seclusion and fished. It is also the origin of the saying "He who is willing will take the bait". - Legend begins: At the end of the Shang Dynasty, 70-year-old Jiang Ziya fished here with a straight hook, attracting King Wen of Zhou to visit. The phrase "It is better to take the straight path than to seek the crooked one" fully expresses his wisdom and character. - Turning the tide: He helped King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty, and was deified and given a title of nobility. From then on, Diaoyutai became a symbol of "forbearance and waiting for the right time." - Historical certification: A monument was erected in the Tang Dynasty and repaired in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ruins of the ancient Diaoyutai and the Taigong Temple built in the Song Dynasty are still preserved. 🌟Highlights: [One] Diaoyutai Ruins - There is a blue stone by the stream with two deep marks on it, which are said to be left by Jiang Taigong kneeling for a long time fishing. Touch it to get the blessing of "late bloomer". [Two] Huangshi (Natural "Diaoyutai") - There is a natural boulder in the stream that looks like a jade pendant, with the words "孕環遗璞" engraved on it. It reflects the beautiful scenery in the clear water on a sunny day. [Three]Tai Gong Temple & Wen Wang Temple - An ancient building from the Ming Dynasty, with a statue of Jiang Ziya holding the List of Gods, and towering ancient cypresses in the Wenwang Temple. You can feel the weight of history in the air filled with incense. [Four] Bukit Tung - The cave where the woodcutter Wu Ji was enlightened by Jiang Ziya is cool and shady inside the cave, and at the entrance of the cave one can see the rushing stream like a long river of time. --- 📝Note tips: ✔ What to wear: Lightweight non-slip shoes (some stone steps are slippery), bring mosquito repellent in summer ✔📸Photo spots: bamboo bridge beside Huangshi, red wall and ancient trees of Taigong Temple, rocky beach beside the stream ✔ Stop by: On the way back, you can go to Famen Temple (40 minutes by car) or the Bronze Museum (in the city) 🍲Recommended dishes: Must-order items at the farmhouse: pork ribs with sauerkraut, cold-mixed ash-green vegetables, freshly ground corn porridge - Must-try for snack lovers: Tianwangzhen rolled noodles (spicy and sour!) + honey glutinous rice dumplings - Bring your own snacks: It is recommended to bring some dry food as there are few restaurants in the scenic area. ❤Recommendation reason: This is not just a stone or a temple, but also a thousand-year-old philosophical symbol of the Chinese people's "waiting and opportunity". Standing on Jiang Taigong's fishing platform and watching the water of Pan Creek flowing through the rocks, you will suddenly understand: the best opportunities in life may be hidden in seemingly useless persistence. [House]Address: Tianwang Town, Chencang District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province [Car] Transportation: Self-driving navigation "Jiang Ziya Diaoyutai" (about 1 hour from Baoji city); take the tourist bus from Baoji South Station directly to 🎫Tickets: Adults 45, students 20 [1:00] Opening hours: 8:30-17:30 - Recommended tour: 3-4 hours (the scenic area is not big but has a strong sense of story, suitable for slow travel)

Located on National Highway G244, deep in the mountains of Qinling Mountains, a nine-story demon tower has gradually become famous. This time I drove from Xi'an to find out. 📍 Navigation and positioning of Snow Mountain Cave 🎫 No tickets are required. The attraction itself is a place for locals to cool off and escape the heat. You cannot enter after 5 o'clock (but in summer, it seems that the park will not close until dark) 🚶‍♀️The scenic spot is very small and you can finish the tour quickly, but be sure not to go the wrong way. Many hiking and adventures advocated by guides may make you return disappointed. After entering the park, pass the stream, turn left and walk forward for 1 minute. 🐘 🛕 If you want to see the stone elephants, walk to the right and follow the stone steps leading into the mountain. It will take 7 minutes if you are a fast walker. If you want to see the Nine-story Demon Tower, go to the Taoist temple on the left, go to the end and go up the stairs to reach your destination. ⚠️ There are roads leading to the deep mountains around the stone elephant, which are difficult to walk on and are all dead ends. No need to explore, avoid danger. Many people who want to find the Nine-story Demon Tower mistakenly believe that the Demon Tower is deeper behind the stone elephant because of the words "adventure" and "hiking" in other guides. Many people have lost their way in the forest behind the stone elephant. Please be sure to pay attention to safety. ⚠️ Judging from its appearance, the Nine-Story Demon Tower is a modern Taoist temple building, but it is still very distinctive. There is currently a fence, so you can have a closer look. The entrance to the Taoist temple is the entrance to the Snow Mountain Cave. It is freezing cold and a bit scary. 🚗 30 minutes drive from Baoji city and 2 hours from Xi'an. #Baoji #Snow Mountain Cave #g244 #Qinling Mountains #Nine-story Demon Tower #Summer Vacation #Surrounding Tours #Atmosphere #Ghost #Forest Walk

🌧️This ancient village demon tower is the most eerie place I have ever been to in my life. When I arrived at the Xuewei No. 1 Tomb at the beginning of the year, I felt that it was a Feng Shui treasure land, endless, quiet and pleasant. This time when I went to Baoji, I heard that there was a so-called "Seven-story Demon Tower". I was a little excited. I drove through the winding mountain road and arrived at the gate in the rain, only to find that the gate to the mountain pass was locked. 🚪I thought it might be closed for maintenance or something, so I walked closer and saw the guy in the management office watching TV. I asked if I could come in, and he pointed to the path next to it without even turning his head. It turns out that there is a small path on the side of the gate, sandwiched between the management office. As you enter the mountain gate, you will see a stone bridge. The waterfalls and vegetation hanging down from the mountain wall make it seem like few people come here. 🌿We saw a man and a woman walking out on the stone bridge. We curiously asked for directions. They said in panic that they didn’t go in because they met a big dog halfway that circled around them and kept following them, so they had no choice but to retreat. We felt pretty good about ourselves so we continued walking inside, thinking there was nothing to be afraid of about dogs… 🐶Then just after we turned the corner in the mountain, we saw that big dog coming towards us and looking at us. My whole body went numb and I immediately turned around and walked away. I thought to myself, "I'm afraid of this dog too..." The dog followed us all the way to the management office, and we insisted on going back when we got the chance to go back... I was relieved that the big dog didn't follow us... 🚶‍♂️After walking a short distance, I saw a Taoist temple with a half-open fence. After pushing the door open, it looked like there were people living inside, but there was no one around. There were only Taoist statues inside. After walking through the first floor, there is another Taoist temple up the slope. I thought I had gone the wrong way because I didn’t see the multi-story building as shown in the photos online. In fact, I had to continue walking up the stairs in the middle of the second floor Taoist temple. The stairwell was cold and uncomfortable. When I went up to the second floor, there were many statues on both sides, but the pale white woven lights looked particularly scary in the cold afternoon. I walked up with my head down and could see the "Seven-story Demon Tower" through the end of the corridor. 🏯When I saw that the place was fenced off and no one was allowed to enter, I felt secretly happy because I really didn’t want to go any further... I stood under the "Demon Tower" and admired the peculiar architecture and its fusion with nature. I wanted to know more about the history of the "Demon Tower", so I opened Baidu to search for it, but was scared by the first video introducing the haunted place and dared not stand there any longer. 📹I was about to walk out before I finished watching the video. When I just entered the staircase cave, a man suddenly appeared. I was still thinking in my heart that "the demon tower is haunted and no one dares to spend the night here. The tower guards have moved away." This tourist scared me so much that my legs went weak... I finally recovered and walked out again. Okay, facing the rain and the sound of water flowing in the mountains, the big dog came again... and followed me all the way to the door...🚗After getting in the car, I smoked three cigarettes but still couldn't recover... #Nine-story Demon Tower #Seven-story Demon Tower #Baoji Demon Tower #Baoji Xuedong Mountain

🗺️ Location: Navigate and search directly for "Xueshan Cave" in Baoji 🎟️: Tickets are temporarily free (open all day) 🏯 The "Nine-story Demon Tower" is actually a very inconspicuous Taoist temple located in Baoji City. In fact, this tower is built against the mountain and has a total of seven floors. It is so old that only two floors can be climbed. It is not recommended to go in due to disrepair. It is also quite nice to walk around outside. The seven-story cave pavilion is built against the mountain. It looks like a tower from the outside, so it is jokingly called the Seven-story Demon Tower. It was originally a Taoist temple. Each small unit room enshrines a great Taoist figure. It is not known whether there is something suppressed underneath. In short, it is full of mystery. 🐘 In addition, not far from the Taoist temple, there is a huge stone elephant more than ten meters high. The elephant lies on the ground as if drinking water, which is very suitable for taking photos and checking in. 🚗 Route: It is recommended to drive half an hour away from Baoji city. The distance between the seven-story demon tower and the stone elephant is not very far. ⚠️ Note: It is not recommended to come from Xi'an or further away to see this. If you are traveling by car, you can go there to take photos and check in. Because this place is very small, you can definitely finish visiting it in an hour, so it is not cost-effective to travel hundreds of kilometers to see this. #xi'anaround #xi'anaroundtour #baojicity

The historical changes of Baoji as the core political area of ​​the Western Zhou Dynasty are clearly presented in each exhibit. Focus on viewing the Nu Pan, which is like a silent historian. The inscriptions inside the plate record in detail the history of eight generations of the Shan family assisting the twelve emperors of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It takes you back to the Western Zhou Dynasty and feels the splendor and glory of bronze casting in that era. 2. The Second Exhibition Hall "The Land of Zhou Li": The He Zun, the treasure of the museum, is located in this hall. It is one of the first batch of cultural relics in China that are prohibited from being exhibited abroad. The 122-character inscription on the bottom of the He Zun, among which "Ze Zi Zhongguo" is the earliest known written record of the word "China", is of extraordinary significance.

As the birthplace of Zhou and Qin cultures, Baoji is known as the "Hometown of Bronzeware." Thus, the Baoji Bronzeware Museum houses a vast collection of bronzes from the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, and Warring States periods. Among the tens of thousands of bronze artifacts, countless pieces are considered national treasures, including the He Zun, Zhe Gong, Li Wang Hu Gui, Qiang Pan, and Qin Gong Bo, to name a few. In that era when bronzeware was prevalent, bronzes were diverse and played a significant role in military affairs, rituals, music, and the lives of the nobility. Moreover, due to the enormous number of unearthed artifacts, the Baoji Bronzeware Museum has donated a substantial portion of its national treasure-level bronzeware to major museums, including the National Museum of China, the Palace Museum, the Shanghai Museum, the Shanxi Archaeological Research Institute, and the Tianjin Museum. This demonstrates the high volume and quality of the Baoji Bronzeware Museum's collection, making it truly worthy of the title "China's" Bronzeware Museum. Even without official approval for using those two words, it has long held the name "China Bronzeware Museum" in my heart. The museum's architectural design is also outstanding and unique. From the front, visitors can admire the magnificent "Five Ding on a Platform" structure, which encapsulates the profound meaning of the Western Zhou Dynasty's "Lie Ding" system (the arrangement of ritual bronze vessels). The exhibition halls inside the museum are well-organized and display a wide variety of artifacts. I spent an entire day exploring the museum to see all the exhibits. Therefore, I recommend that visitors planning a trip to the Baoji Bronzeware Museum allocate ample time for their visit.

Construction on Baoji Gorge began in 1958 and was finally completed in 1974. It is the largest water conservancy project in Shaanxi Province that benefits the people. It is also the largest artificial river built in Baoji City. It is the starting point of the 800-li Guanzhong Plain. The Wei River winds through the mountains and valleys of the western mountains and finally rushes out of the gorge to form the Guanzhong Plain. 🚉Transportation guide: Baoji Gorge Reservoir is easily accessible by car or public transport. To take the bus, walk 460 meters from Baoji Railway Station to Renmin Hospital Station, take Bus No. 4 for 15 stops, get off at Goujialing Station, and walk 3.1 kilometers to Baoji Gorge. Tour route: You can walk along the canyon mountain road for about an hour and a half to reach the end. Along the way, you will pass through a section of Danxia landform, which is spectacular and beautiful. Nearby accommodation: There are many agritainment businesses around the reservoir that offer unique and affordable dining options, including local specialties such as yangrou paomo (mutton soaked in steamed buns) and saozi noodles. If you want to stay overnight, there are many guesthouses nearby with reasonable prices and comfortable environments.

History buffs, this is your spot! The Nanyue King Mausoleum Museum is built directly over the tomb of the King of Nanyue, dating back over 2,000 years. What amazed me was how well-preserved everything is — from jade burial suits to delicate pottery and gold ornaments. As a traveler, I love places that give you a deep dive into ancient civilizations, and this museum does exactly that. You can even step into the original tomb chamber itself, which felt surreal knowing how ancient it is. The exhibitions are well-organized, and English explanations are available, which made the visit much more enjoyable. It’s a smaller museum, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming, but every artifact tells a story. If you want to understand Guangzhou’s role as an ancient trade hub, this place connects so many dots. Definitely worth the visit, especially for anyone who loves archaeology or ancient history.

🚗 Departing from Xi'an or Baoji, the 6063 slow train or the K8205 express train are both excellent choices. In less than an hour, you can journey from the urban jungle to a poetic world of snowy mountains. The Baoji–Chengdu Railway, China's first electrified railway, once ended the millennial-old saying "Traveling to Sichuan is harder than ascending to Heaven." Now, it serves as your access pass to a snowy adventure. 🚗 The Qinling Mountains, a vast range spanning across central China, transforms into a winter kingdom with the arrival of winter. The undulating mountains and peaks are blanketed in white snow, as if the earth has donned a giant white robe. Towering trees, like loyal guardians, stretch out their silvery branches, displaying a resilient yet serene beauty amidst the cold wind. The streams in the valleys are partially frozen, their icy surfaces shimmering with a cold light, complementing the snowy landscape and creating a breathtaking natural painting.

👍🏻Recommendation reason: Family members, today I must recommend you a super mysterious place - Snow Mountain Cave! This place not only has historical heritage, but also can satisfy your desire to explore the mysteries😎. The holy land of Quanzhen Sect, it is said that Qiu Chuji once practiced here. The feeling of being able to empathize with the ancients across time and space is really amazing! There is also an abandoned "Nine-story Demon Tower". Although it is a bit eerie, this unique atmosphere makes anyone who goes there a "brave person"🤩! What’s even more amazing is that there is a huge stone elephant hidden deep inside, with its tusks wrapped with red prayer ribbons, full of piety. It feels like the gods really favor it, and everything will go smoothly🙏! 🗺Introduction to the scenic spot: The Snow Mountain Cave is a naturally formed cave, 23 meters deep and 5 meters high, with traces of years of carving clearly visible. As a holy place of Quanzhen Sect, the heavy sense of history is overwhelming. The abandoned "Nine-story Demon Tower" has added a bit of mysterious and gloomy atmosphere due to its disrepair. The huge stone elephant stands quietly in the depths of the cave like a guardian god, carrying people's good wishes🙏. 🚗 Transportation to attractions: It is very convenient to drive by yourself! Just navigate to the snow cave directly🚗. If you start from Gaoxin, it is only about 20 kilometers and it takes about 25 minutes to drive. Just step on the accelerator and you can easily reach this mysterious place😎. 🅿️About parking: You can park directly at the destination, and there is no parking fee. However, the parking lot is not very large, so it may take some effort to park if you arrive late🤔. 🗺 Tour route: Enter from the main gate, walk across a small bridge, and you will see the stone tablet. Then turn left and walk along the main road for about 200 meters. At the fork in the road, turn right and go up the stairs. Keep walking for about 15 minutes, and you will see the super shocking giant stone elephant 🎉! After seeing the stone elephants, return to the fork in the road and the temple is on the left. Then walk further back and the "Nine-story Demon Tower" is there. I am quite timid and didn’t go in to explore, but brave friends should not miss it 😜! The entire tour can be completed within an hour, and the road conditions are very friendly, so both the elderly and children can easily handle it. By the way, when we came back, we saw people barbecuing on both sides of the river. This is also a good camping site. 🍱Food recommendation: There may be some local specialty snack stalls around, such as roasted corn and roasted sweet potatoes, which are down-to-earth and delicious snacks. If you are tired of walking around, you can have a portion, which is super satisfying😋. However, the specific food depends on the stall conditions on that day. 💰Cost related: Tickets are free! free! free! I have to say it three times because it is so important. It is a low-cost and happy adventure. 📌Other tips: If you go to explore the "Nine-story Demon Tower", remember to bring a flashlight, as the light inside is not very good🔦. After camping and barbecue, be sure to take away the garbage, protect the environment, and keep the beautiful scenery. If you want to take photos, the stone elephant is a particularly good place to take photos. Remember to dress beautifully and take more photos 📷.
