There is also a car pick-up and drop-off service to and from the high-speed rail station. The amazing Foping 👉Vacation Farm (Shaanxi Foping Store)

|Hometown of Qinling Giant Pandas|A great place for family outings. ❤Deep in the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, there is a very exquisite small county with a population of less than 30,000. It is said that there are only 9 taxis in the whole city and no traffic lights. It is also the hometown of giant pandas. This is Foping County, located in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province! Foping County is located in the northeast of Hanzhong City. It borders Ningshan County and Shiquan County of Ankang City to the east, Zhouzhi County of Xi'an City and Taibai County of Baoji City to the north, and Yang County to the southwest. It covers an area of ​​1,279 square kilometers. The permanent population of Foping County is less than 30,000 so far, and the permanent population in the county seat is about 9,000. It can be said to be a very exquisite small town in the mountains. 1️⃣ Panda Valley or Panda Base The average temperature of Foping Panda Valley is around 25°C from June to August. The picturesque scenery in the valley provides an excellent living environment for the pandas. The Panda Base is like an angel, silently guarding these lovely creatures. Here you will be conquered by the cuteness of the pandas and moved by the charm of nature. Every panda is a unique baby~. There are only two giant pandas in the Panda Valley and many golden monkeys, but the golden monkeys are wild, so whether you can see them depends on luck. Most of the time they appear in the Panda Hotel. 2️⃣ Gold and Silver Valley Located in Yinchanggou Village, Xichahe Town, Foping County, it has convenient transportation and superior location. The scenic area covers an area of ​​about 482 acres and has beautiful scenery. It is one of the "Eighteen Valleys" tourism development projects proposed by Foping County in the early years. Nowadays, there are even more popular attractions such as "Big Windmill", "Balloon House", "Internet Celebrity Wishing Bridge", "Love Highway" for you to check in~ 3️⃣Wangjiawan Village The Lotus Pond Café, the Music Fountain, the Panda Bouncing Cloud, the Naked Eye 9D Circular Flying Cinema, the Open-air Movie and other special projects are extremely popular. Here you can not only see the distant mountains and hear the spring water in the river, but also run and have fun on the grass. Blue sky, white clouds and green land make camping and picnic so pleasant! 4️⃣Foping Old Street The ancient street deep in the mountains, which was first built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, has existed peacefully for more than 300 years, and is a witness to the peaceful times in Foping. The old street is not big but full of the atmosphere of fireworks, just like an exquisite and elegant "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" 👞Transportation: Xi'an North Station ~ Foping (high-speed rail 🚅 RMB 56 per person) Foping Station ~ Panda Base, 22 kilometers, 20 minutes (bus RMB 10 per person, there are also shared cars 🚗, which can take 3-4 people and can be rented at the entrance of Foping Station, but experienced drivers are recommended because the mountain road is steep) Panda Base ~ Old Street 16 kilometers (bus RMB 10 per person) Old Street ~ Wangjiawan 4 kilometers (shared electric cars or taxi RMB 30) Wangjiawan ~ Foping Station 3.5 kilometers (shared electric cars RMB 6.5 or taxi RMB 20) Because most of the roads are mountainous, steep, and there are many turns, it is recommended to take a taxi, which is safe and fast. 🤖Accommodation: Yunxi Hotel The room is super big, and the kids can play hide-and-seek in the room. At just over RMB500, it's very cost-effective, and the food in the hotel tastes especially good. You can enjoy a leisurely time in the hotel without going out. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the mountains and river.

I have just returned from watching pandas in Foping. Let’s talk about this experience of watching pandas and staying there~ - The place we went to this time was Foping in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province. It takes about 40 minutes by high-speed train from Xi'an. Foping is a small county town, and punch-in tourism is not suitable here. It would be more suitable to have a leisurely and relaxing mentality to escape the summer heat~ - (Figure 1-Figure 4) There are two places to see pandas, one is the Panda Base and the other is the Panda Valley. [Panda Valley] There is a fee. It is a large forest park with 2 giant pandas and a group of golden monkeys. [Panda Base] is free. It is a breeding research base. You can visit the place in just 20 minutes. There are 4 giant pandas. They are so cute and you only need to watch each one for 20 minutes! You must go early. The pandas go home and sleep when they are full. It is best to arrive before 10 o'clock. The giant pandas in Foping belong to the Qinling subspecies. The natural distribution density of giant pandas ranks first in the country, with a population of more than 130 giant pandas, and one giant panda is active every square kilometer. It is the most ideal habitat for giant pandas and is known as "China's No. 1 Panda County" and "Biological Gene Treasure House." - (Figure 5-10) If you want to stay, this time it’s a holiday farm. The entire farm is composed of independent rooms, and they are all designed with large panoramic balconies and bathtubs. Pushing the window to see the greenery and overlooking the mountain scenery is nothing more than that. In addition, the hotel's meals are also delicious, so you don't have to worry about what to have for dinner here. At the same time, the farm also has shuttle bus service, camp tent area, children's activity area, romantic flower sea, and themed sculpture area etc, You can learn to make local traditional intangible cultural heritage items and delicacies such as dried flower fan, Foping fairy tofu, and Foping paper-cutting. By the way, the farm is within walking distance of the country’s second breeding base for giant pandas and golden monkeys~ In addition, the farm is within a 30-minute drive from all the attractions I mentioned! - What else is nearby? 📍Fairy Tan 📍Shangshawo Red Army Site 📍Foping Old Street 📍Wangjiawan Village 📍Qinling Museum of Man and Nature 📍Dongshan Park - some sharing, Hope you like it.

Foping, a green treasure in the heart of Qinling Mountains, a paradise for giant pandas, and the hometown of dogwood, invites you to appreciate the beauty of nature, taste the authentic customs, and enjoy a happy parent-child time! A one-day tour is a bit "commando", so it is more appropriate to take the children for two days. 🟠Transportation Xi'an-Foping: 🚄43 minutes by high-speed rail, 3.5 hours by car In Foping County: Car rental🚗 (Wuling mini electric cars can be rented at the "Panda Car Rental" in front of the Qinling Museum of Humans and Nature) Electric cars🛵 (You can scan the code and ride at any time, but it is not recommended to ride with children) [TrafficLightVertical] Little surprise: Foping is a city without traffic lights🙄 🟠Accommodation 🏡Yunxi Hotel: Close to the old street, the best hotel in the county. This hotel where I brought my baby to stay was generally good. 🏡Xiamen Resort Farm: Close to the panda base, the environment, conditions and supporting services are first-class. 🏡Gingko Inn: Close to the high-speed rail station, with an Instagram-style white house and a popular swimming pool, perfect for taking photos. 🏡Foping Mountain Residence: Close to the high-speed rail station, Chinese garden style, with hot springs and small animals. 🏡Shanmi Jingju: Close to Wangjiawan, niche literary style, excellent geographical location, good service. 🟠Dining 🥣Old Street: Most of the online recommendations include Chuanxianglou, Jiangjunlou Hot Rice Noodles, and Linxieryu. I personally feel that the food in Old Street is pretty much the same. I recommend a town cuisine restaurant near Yunxi Hotel. I can't remember the specific name, but I remember it's at the entrance of the Party School. [Clink] You can try the local dogwood sparkling water in Foping, it tastes good 🟠 Itinerary (with a one and a half year old baby) Day 1 Self-driving in Xi'an → Yunxi Hotel → Foping Old Street → Panda Base (Yaojingtan) → Shawo Village → Wangjiawan → (Old Street Night View + Grilled Fish on the Lawn) → Hotel Day 2 Hotel → Panda Valley → Dining near the hotel → Self-driving return trip 🟠 Panda Base or Panda Valley [Panda Valley] is charged, it is a large forest park with 2 giant pandas and a group of golden monkeys. Whether you can encounter golden monkeys depends on luck. We didn't see any. We heard that someone had complained about monkeys injuring people the week before we went there, so they had to go up the mountain. The Panda Valley has nice scenery and is more suitable for taking children to play in the water. There are several good places, and there are battery cars to go up the mountain. [Panda Base] is free and is a breeding research base. It is not a big place and can be visited in 30 minutes. There are 4 giant pandas, which are so cute that you need to watch each one for 20 minutes! You must go early. The pandas will go home to sleep after they are full. We arrived at around 2 pm. There were 3 pandas playing outside. We were lucky. After leaving the panda base, you can go to the Fairy Pond. The water in the Fairy Pond is very clear, and there are hazelnuts and wild kiwis dropped on the road. I heard from the locals that you can sometimes see golden monkeys at the Red Army site in Shawo Village, and there is also a large climbing frame (a small staircase leads to the river, not easy to find) In short, if you want to see pandas, go to the Panda Base, if you want to see the scenery and take your kids to play in the water, go to the Panda Valley [Bowknot] Tips: You can check in and take photos at Wangjiawan, and you must watch movies and eat grilled fish outdoors. The fish tastes really good and is very fresh. There is also a small playground nearby for 5 yuan per person. At night, there are lights that change patterns, and the children love it. There is also a coffee shop nearby that sells fish food, you can buy a bag to feed the fish. [Medicine] Note that the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, so you need to bring some thick clothes. There is no need to turn on the air conditioner when sleeping at night.

📍Foping County, Hanzhong City 🚗Transportation I drove here because I was afraid it would be inconvenient to bring my child with me. It is 220 kilometers from Xi'an East Second Ring Road and takes 3 hours to arrive. When the baby is older, you can take the high-speed rail and arrive in 40 minutes. 🏠Accommodation The courtyard-style homestay I chose is very large, with a library, a free picking garden, a children's playground, and a tea room (Dad Orange loves to drink tea and doesn't want to come out) The double bed room we booked is quite spacious and is enough for a family of three. Cleanliness is the first priority when bringing a baby. This hotel is really full of details. Bath, toothbrush, hair dryer are all provided. The thoughtful thing is that there is also electric mosquito repellent. The food in the restaurant is also delicious. Steamed eggs are specially made for the baby. Local dogwood sparkling water is also prepared. 🐼Panda Base We didn't go to the Panda Valley (charged) where there were only 2 pandas. Not only was there a traffic jam due to road construction, but the pandas were also very far away. We chose to go to the Panda Base (free) which was not big and could be visited in 1 hour. There were 4 pandas in total. We arrived around 2pm and were lucky enough to see all 4. Orange was so happy to see a panda for the first time 🪑Wangjiawan The legendary oversized chair is great for taking photos, but don't use it in the hot sun. 🍴Old Street It takes less than half an hour to walk around the old street. There is a panda library inside which is nice for taking photos. Here are three recommended food restaurants: Chuanxianglou, Shanchengrenjia and Jinyi Restaurant. The last one we went to was not a disappointment. We ordered Foping Sanxiang, which is steamed with egg, meat and starch. The flavor list is suitable for babies. Bamboo shoots and bacon are slightly spicy and delicious with rice! The boss said 2 adults and 1 child is enough. The food is big. ✨ Overall it's quite comfortable and suitable for taking babies there. It should be very cool in half a month. I will go again when Orange is a little bigger.

From Xi'an to Hanzhong, take National Highway 108 to cross the Qinling Mountains. On the way, you pass through Foping County, Hanzhong City, the country's least populated county at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains (this is also the area with the highest density of wild giant pandas, and there are rare Qinling subspecies of giant pandas here) , caught a glimpse of the big signboard of "Panda Valley", and was pleasantly surprised to visit inside. The people who received me were giant pandas "Hengheng" and "Qiangsheng". The two national treasures were unmoved and indifferent to my visit. They were doing whatever they were supposed to do. I didn't take it seriously, but I was still frightened: I was very clear about the huge status gap between myself and them, and I didn't dare to think anything wrong. However, the two national treasures do not have any bad intentions, they are just not good at words. They candidly showed me their philosopher-like thinking and performed their daddy-pulling skills without any hesitation. It really opened my eyes and made me enjoy it! This chance encounter was brief but pleasant. I hope the two national treasures can continue to maintain a happy and worry-free attitude towards life without ambitions. After all, the country has set up such a large garden in the Qinling Mountains with such a beautiful environment, and has dedicated people to take care of it, so there is nothing to worry about. It is said that there are often activities of Qinling Golden Monkeys near the Panda House, but this family has no fixed location and no fixed schedule, so we never had the chance to meet them during this trip. In addition to watching pandas and golden monkeys, there are many parent-child activity venues in the park, making it a good place for family outings. The Qinling Mountains is a model area for biodiversity. There are many rare plants in the park, making it a good place to increase relevant knowledge. [Transportation Route] It is 20 kilometers away from Foping County and 160 kilometers away from Hanzhong City. It is directly connected by National Highway 108 and there is no railway, so there is no other way than self-driving. There is a parking lot at the entrance of Panda Valley, so there is no need to worry about parking. [Opening hours] 8:30-17:30 every day. [Tickets] Adult/Student/Children/: 45/25/25. [Notes] Refer to Figure 2 for the park tour route. It takes about an hour and a half from the entrance to the Panda House. It takes about an hour and a half to go up the stream along the steps. Although it is not steep, it requires a certain amount of physical strength. Fortunately, deep in the Qinling Mountains, the air is fresh, the water is clear, and the trees are lush. Mountain climbing is also extremely enjoyable. If you really don’t want to walk, you can take a battery car in the park. Be careful about mosquitoes during the warmer seasons.

😍😍Decided to go to Foping on a whim, bought a high-speed train ticket for 8:47 am the next day, and off I went~ It's a 50-minute journey. Stepping out of the station, the first thing I felt was the coolness! The climate was around 20 degrees, so pleasant that even the midday sun didn't feel hot. First stop: Rented an electric bike to eat General Tower's hot bean curd skin noodles. Second stop: Walked to Dongshan Park, started climbing at 10 am, and reached the top in half an hour! Note that the climbing point indicated by the map has many steep stairs, which made me tired and hot. I didn't encounter anyone on the way up, but I did unexpectedly come across a little squirrel🐿️, which was delightful! There's a viewing pavilion at the top where you can overlook the county scenery, beautiful and breezy, very comfortable! I took another path down the mountain, which was in good condition. The exit point was next to a residential house, quite hidden! Third stop: Foping Old Street. Just a short walk down from the mountain, the old street isn't long and is lined with restaurants. There's a Panda Library, which is small. Fourth stop: Took a taxi to Wangjiawan, a flat rate of 20 yuan. Taxis are scarce in Foping, and there are no ride-hailing services. I had planned to ride an electric bike there, but for some reason, it indicated that I was out of the operational range midway, so I took a taxi to be safe. However, I found out later that I could ride back, so I biked back to the county. Wangjiawan is a newly popular attraction with an internet-famous red bench, hot air balloons, and lotus ponds. But it was too sunny at noon, nothing was operating, and the only cafe was closed. I guess it would be better early in the morning or in the evening. Fifth stop: A farmhouse meal! The owner suggested one dish would be enough, so I ordered the spicy and sour konjac, delicious! Sixth stop: Panda Base. It's free, just need to register! I took a bus from the high-speed train station, which usually departs around the time the train arrives, a 30-minute ride costing 10 yuan. I arrived at the base at 3:30 pm, and it was still a bit sunny today, so the pandas would come out for a bit and then go back in. The base isn't very big, but there are four pandas. Panda Valley seems to have only two, but the scenery is nicer. Took the 6 pm high-speed train back after the tour! In summary: Foping is a small place, and you can finish touring it in one day without staying overnight! If you do want to stay, you can choose one of those internet-famous hotels with recreational activities to enrich the experience. A must-try: Schisandra berry sparkling water, super refreshing when chilled! There are designated parking spots for shared electric bikes, and you can't just park them anywhere! Jinshan Park is opposite Dongshan Park, and I've heard that the scenery is even more beautiful and it's easier to climb!

500r per person! A 2-day and 1-night summer vacation trip surrounded by green mountains is super cool! Rich species, lush vegetation and landscapes... You can see red cranes, golden monkeys, and pandas. If you're lucky, you can even get close to them. Especially the group of golden monkeys that often hang out in the Panda Valley are simply gentlemen among monkeys, cute and polite. Foping 2 days and 1 night travel guide Transportation: Self-driving or public transportation The town provides 10 shared trams and many shared battery cars. There are direct buses to some scenic spots. Accommodation: There are hotels and B&Bs around, the prices are very beautiful, and the environment and facilities are very good. Attractions: Foping Old Street The old streets of the ancient city with a history of more than 300 years It is open all day and there are people shopping until 22:00 in the evening. Through the long old streets, you can see glimpses of local people's lives blending with the Qinling Mountains in the distance. The night view is very beautiful! There are postal check-in points, specialty snacks, and food and drinks. The local specialties "Foping Sanxiang", "Foping Smooth Pork", river delicacies and "Kimchi Fish" are delicious!! Personally recommend Jinyi Restaurant (especially Crispy Rice Rice) Foping Panda Base It’s all free!! Newly opened panda pavilion! You can watch it for free by making a reservation! The four giant pandas in the whole pavilion can be observed up close. I can’t walk because they are so cute. Wangjiawan The stunning red stool was taken here! Camping tea drinks B&B meals... Buy a pot of tea and spend the entire afternoon in a daze √ Panda Valley I want to see the golden monkeys here!! The scenery here is just like a national forest park. Except that the keepers of the panda park maintain a good relationship with the wild golden monkeys living around them all year round. I often see the golden monkeys in the park. They are polite and cute. They are simply gentlemen among monkeys. . Qinling Natural History Museum Countless insect and animal specimens that can only be seen in textbooks can be seen here, which is suitable for entertaining and educating children. This time I experienced Fei’s public welfare project Foping Online Guide. It has props, cute NPC interactions, and puzzle exploration games. It brings together all the interesting and interesting places in Foping! It’s super convenient and childlike!

🌟 Highlights: Tianhua Mountain is a national nature reserve, located on the southern slope of the middle section of the Qinling Mountains, bordering Ningxi Forestry Bureau of Shaanxi Province to the east and south, adjacent to Foping County to the west, and Zhouzhi National Nature Reserve to the north with the main ridge of the Qinling Mountains as the boundary. It is a provincial nature reserve mainly for the protection of habitats for giant pandas, takins, and golden monkeys, as well as forests and wildlife. Due to the uniqueness of the route, few teams go there for exploration, making this high mountain meadow, comparable to Luojiaoliang, unknown to many! 📍 Detailed address: Birch Tree Ping Post Station 🚉 Travel Strategy: Only self-driving is recommended Depart from Xi'an city area to navigate to Birch Tree Ping Post Station, about 200 kilometers round trip. Currently, the highway is under construction, and only Laoyukou can enter. Continue driving about 18 kilometers past the post station to reach the stairway entrance for climbing! If hiking, it's about 3 kilometers one way Difficulty Level: ⭐️ Scenery Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Travel Tips: It's best to travel by SUV, make sure to fill up the gas tank before departure, really fill it up! Check the vehicle condition to avoid accidents, do not chase after encountering wild animals! Prepare for sun protection in summer, and keep warm in winter! Understand the principles of outdoor dressing Mountain weather is unpredictable, refer to the weather forecast! Carry outdoor survival and rescue equipment! Carry a trash bag with you, do not leave garbage in the great outdoors

Xi'an is too hot recently I went to the mountains to escape the summer heat again I visited Foping, a small town in southern Shaanxi, three times last year. The B&B I like very much has also opened its second phase 🚅40 minutes by train from Xi'an, You can make a round trip in one day~~ 📍Foping County is very small and has few people. Summer nights are cool There are panda elements everywhere in the small town. Mainly for summer heat relief, lying down, and quiet ~ 🚕After a year, there are still only 10 taxis in the entire county You can sit right after you get off the high-speed rail Sharing electric vehicles is also very convenient 2.5 RMB from the high-speed rail station to the old street 🍉The summer evening breeze is blowing, Too chill~ 🏡What to live in~ Recommended Ginkgo Inn I stayed at a favorite B&B last year. This year, the second phase was opened There are 3 swimming pools~~ Children love playing in the water in summer 🚪The outdoor area is larger Facing the river valley and green mountains Very wide field of view The overall highlights of the second phase are the swimming pool, the open valley landscape, They brew their own craft beer and have a pizza oven. The overall integration is relatively high. The river channel next to it is being repaired. The final result will be a landscape with all water surface. There will also be a bridge from the entrance of the B&B to the other side. 🌳I also like the new room type in the first phase Better privacy 11-meter large terrace Watch the stars at night Live in the forest What to Play 1️⃣ Old Street Must go again at night The lights are on and the fireworks are full of atmosphere 2️⃣Wangjiawan Village A very artistic rural village Very close to the high-speed rail station The big red chair is so big to take pictures 3️⃣ Panda Base See pandas for free! ! Can see 4, 🐼Pandas are super close Come out to eat bamboo Go directly during the week, make an appointment on weekends/holidays 4️⃣ Stay in a B&B Bring your kids to stay in a B&B Summer swimming Adults drink and play with their phones No need to rush to the attractions~ 🍖What to eat 1️⃣Jiangjunlou hot rice noodles 100 times more delicious than Xi'an The vegetable tofu is sold out if you go too late 2️⃣Old Street Chuanxianglou Southern Shaanxi cuisine, Foping Sanxiang/Pepper and Spicy Fish/Sour and Spicy Kidney... Very good with rice 3️⃣ Ginkgo Restaurant Western restaurant in the B&B 🍕 Bamboo shoots and bacon pizza is a must-try. You can't eat it anywhere else Their craft beer is also good

🌟 Highlights: The environment must be mentioned, it's quite comfortable with fewer people around 📍 Detailed Address: We drove there, and the hotel offers a shuttle service from the station, so you can take the high-speed train 🚄 and the hotel will pick you up 🏨 Hotel Environment: The environment is very good, although the golden monkey conservation base on the mountain was under construction and a bit noisy when we visited, it was still okay 🛏 Room Facilities: We booked a Takin room, which was actually sufficient. The so-called intelligent system in the room was not smart at all; the air conditioning sometimes wouldn't turn on, and the TV wouldn't turn off. The most important thing that needs improvement is the bed. We booked a king-size room, but the king bed was just two single beds pushed together. Every time I turned over at night, the bed would creak, which must be criticized 👎 Least Recommended: Another thing to criticize is the entertainment projects in front of the hotel, such as sand buggies, little trains, and various toy facilities, all of which were broken. There were some powerless attractions on the hillside, which were also not very interesting. I hope these can be improved. It's very close to the Panda Base, where you can see giant pandas up close, really up close.

Summer vacation/see pandas/feed golden monkeys/stay in a B&B/eat delicious food/play in the water Escape from the city and the heat, a two-day and one-night vacation guide to the cool town of Foping↓↓↓ 🏠B&B Introduction: The B&B is built in a valley, with a great sense of design, and is great for taking photos. We booked takin, golden monkey and red parrot, and I recommend the red parrot. I like the large floor-to-ceiling windows and terrace in the room the most, and you can enjoy the coolness of the entire Qinling Mountains. 🖼B&B environment: 1️⃣The farm has a great sense of design and the hardware is pretty good. The farm is very suitable for taking photos and the various scenery is very photogenic 2️⃣The garden of the farm is beautiful, and the children had a lot of fun. There are also a few facilities such as swings and seesaws on the hillside behind the manor. 3️⃣It is also very good to take children to do handicrafts (making glasses and drawing). It is a little hot in the afternoon and there are water guns for water fights 4️⃣Walk to the hillside or riverside of the farm at night, look up, and you will see the beautiful Milky Way starry sky🌃 Game guide: 1️⃣The former site of the 25th Red Army is 5 minutes away from the B&B 2️⃣Old streets in the county town It is said to have a history of more than 300 years, with ancient Hui-style buildings 3️⃣ Panda Valley It is recommended to drive to the back door of the scenic spot. Although the mountain road is steep, there is no traffic jam at all. Panda Valley opens at 8am, so it is recommended to go there early in the morning, otherwise you can only watch 🐼 and sleep 💤 Around 10-11 o'clock, the golden monkeys 🐵 come down the mountain, and you can bring your children to have a close contact with them. This is an experience you can never enjoy at the zoo! There are many sightseeing buses in the scenic area that basically do not require climbing mountains, but it is more recommended to climb mountains and play in the water by yourself, otherwise the scenic area is very small and you will finish playing in a short time. Panda Base It is said that the newly opened pandas have more pandas and are very close to the B&B. 🚗Transportation: 1️⃣ Take the high-speed rail from Xi'an for 40 minutes to reach Foping County. There are only 10 taxis in the county, which can be called by phone. 2️⃣ The farm has a shuttle bus which is very convenient (business car). The one-way trip from the farm to the old street is 70💰, and the one-way trip from the farm to the panda base is 30💰

--Wangjiawan-- Wangjiawan is known for its bench landmark. It's recommended to walk further up where there's an open grassland + a small bridge. Walking from the top towards the bench, you can play in the stream along the way as the water is gentle enough for kids. Following the path down leads to the bench area surrounded by a pond with geese and ducks, and handmade little benches. My phone almost ran out of battery here. There aren't too many tourists. The address is Wangjiawan Village, Foping County, Hanzhong City. You can ride a shared electric scooter there, right next to the Foping High-speed Railway Station. It's only 40 minutes from Xi'an, so convenient! Navigate to the Lotus Pond Coffee House. There's water with fish and a vending machine selling fish food. Below is a river channel where you can play in the water when it's low (safety first, of course). The scenery at Wangjiawan is beautiful and great for photography. No consumption or admission fees are required, and it's near the high-speed railway station, making it a perfect last stop. In summary, it's definitely worth a visit for its beautiful scenery and mostly free attractions. It's great for family trips with kids, as you can see the joy on the children's faces along the way. In the middle of the lotus pond, there's a Lotus Pond Coffee House that's very photogenic. The iced Americano is not bad either~ Lotus flowers, ponds, and the scent of rice paddies create a unique beauty against the backdrop of the mountains. Many popular photos are taken here. Red chairs, big lawns, every snapshot looks good. If you want to capture some beautiful travel photos, be sure to come here. The street views along the way are also very attractive. On the way back in the afternoon, enjoy the local cuisine. Rice noodles with cured meat, divine tofu, Foping three fragrances, hot rice skin, and cornus fruit specialty drinks. There are many Sichuan restaurants with great flavors for those who like spicy food. If you're not into photography, there's no need to go; there's nothing there but red benches. The Lotus Pond Coffee doesn't have a fixed schedule; it's all up to the owner's mood.

Indeed, the most enchanting scenery must be found on the road! On our business trip to Xi'an, on the way home, my husband insisted on taking the Da Jian road, saying that you can't see the scenery from the highway! Although this route was over mountains and ridges, it was truly worth it. We stumbled upon this small town, and just the roadside scenery was already stunning 😍😍. Thus, with a young girl's heart in a silver-haired tribe, I couldn't stop posing for photos under the blue sky and white clouds , played to my heart's content, and left reluctantly.. 🚉 Travel Tips: Self-driving navigation: Just set your destination to Changyuba Town, Foping County
