Today, I must share a private, niche route with you that is uncrowded, scenic, and cool. It's a relaxing and pleasant two-day, one-night trip! 🚗 Transportation Departing from Xi'an, take the high-speed train 🚄 to Ningqiang South Station in 1.5 hours for a quick arrival. If you prefer to travel freely, driving is also a good option. It takes about 5.5 hours, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way. 📅 Itinerary Day 1: 1. Zengjiashan "Chuandong Tiankeng" (Sinkhole): Tickets are CNY 50/person. As soon as you enter the scenic area, a cool breeze hits you, as if you have instantly entered a natural refrigerator. Parents with children must prepare a coat for their children, as it is only a few degrees above ten in the cave, which is quite cold. The scenic area is not large, and the roads are wooden steps. My 5-year-old child was able to walk the entire route by themself very easily. 2. Zengjia Yuanyangchi Forest Park: Free admission! This place is simply a fairyland. The large lawn is surrounded by lush trees, just like a fairy tale world. It is perfect for an impromptu camping trip with your camping gear. The average summer temperature here is only 23°C. It lives up to its name as a "summer resort". You can take great photos anywhere, so mothers must not miss it. In the evening, check in to Yinju Xiangli Hanshui Yao Homestay. The homestay is hidden in a quiet village with beautiful pastoral scenery. You can not only take your children to explore the source of the Han River and feel the charm of nature, but also enjoy swimming in the homestay. The small river next to the homestay is also a great place to play in the water. It's really too pleasant! Day 2: After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the homestay, set off for Qingmuchuan Ancient Town, located at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces. This is the legendary magical place where you can "step on three provinces with one foot". You can take a bus from the county town or drive there, which is very convenient. After visiting the ancient town, you can return to Xi'an and end your pleasant trip. 📌 Tips 1. If you are traveling with children, it will be more convenient to drive, charter a car, or rent a car, so you can stop and rest at any time. If you are traveling alone or as a couple, public transportation is very suitable, as it is economical and free. 2. There are two routes to choose from when returning to Xi'an from Qingmuchuan Ancient Town: (Qingmuchuan - Guangyuan - Xi'an) and (Qingmuchuan - Ningqiang - Xi'an). You can arrange according to your own time and preferences. 3. When going to "Chuandong Tiankeng", be sure to bring a light jacket, as the temperature in the cave is low, so be careful not to catch a cold. This niche trip has really been rewarding for me and my child. Next time, I will continue to unlock more fun places for you, so remember to follow me!

I've visited many ancient towns in Shaanxi, and Qingmuchuan is the most well-preserved one I've seen. Its preservation is twofold: the ancient town's overall appearance has been preserved, and several important ancient buildings have been preserved to this day. To develop tourism, Qingmuchuan has built a "new street" where shops for food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation are concentrated. This not only meets the needs of tourists but also preserves the ancient appearance of the old street in Huilongchang, continuing the "ancient" aspect of the ancient town. If you're looking for an authentic ancient town with a great experience in Shaanxi, Qingmuchuan is probably one of the best choices.

Qingmuchuan Ancient Town is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces, in Ningqiang County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi. It was once a major thoroughfare into Sichuan, and is known as a place where you can "stand in three provinces at once" and "hear the rooster crow in three provinces." Located in the hilly region of southern Shaanxi, the town is mainly mountainous, with the highest point at 2,079 meters and the lowest at 538 meters. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The town is located in a humid, north subtropical region, and is affected by the alternating Qinling Daba Mountain and southwest monsoon climates. The climate is mild and humid all year round, with four distinct seasons.
