What secrets of the past are hidden in the cotton warehouse in Tongchuan?
Today, I have to tell you about a magical place in Yaozhou District, Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province - the cotton warehouse.
📍It's easy to find. Just search for "Tongchuan Cotton Warehouse" on the map, and it will be waiting for you like a treasure.
🎫 Tickets are only CNY 10. You can buy them on-site without a reservation. You don't need to bring your ID card either.
🕙 It's open from 9 am to 6 pm, so you can visit anytime during this period.
🚗 It's easy to get there by car or bus. Parking inside the scenic area costs CNY 10, but there are free parking spaces at the entrance. However, there are no charging stations, and the number of parking spaces is limited. So if you're driving, you should leave early to get a good spot.
⏱️ It takes about 1-2 hours to walk around. The roads are flat, so it's easy for the elderly and children to visit.
The cotton warehouse used to be an important national warehouse for storing cotton, but now it has become a scenic area. If you just want to take photos, you can find some good spots, but many of them seem to be newly built. If you want to visit it as a traditional attraction, to be honest, it's not worth a special trip. You may be full of expectations before you come, but you may feel disappointed after you arrive. If you go deeper inside, you can see many giant cave-like warehouses, which should be the places where cotton was stored. There are still some traces of history, which is a little surprise.
