Jiaxian 1.💞The small town in northern Shaanxi by the Yellow River, the Xianglu Temple on the cliff, the thousand-year-old jujube forest in the valley, and the cascading cave dwellings in the ravines are all worth visiting. Shanxi. Yunzhou 2.💞Although it is a district and county under Datong, many people will miss this super interesting frontier town outside the Great Wall: lakes, wetlands, grasslands, earth forests, volcanoes, ancient castles, and the daylily fields that spread across the sky. Renhua, Guangdong 3.💞This is a completely unknown Lingnan town. The place where the Danxia landform is named, "Danxia Mountain", is located here. There are still many tourists in Danxia Mountain during holidays, but apart from the core scenic area, the surrounding rivers, streams, ancient villages and countryside are basically not visited by tourists. Hebei. Huailai. 4.💞This is a small city in Hebei Province close to Beijing. It has wilderness similar to the Gobi Desert, as well as beautiful lakes as warm as those in the south. It has both the ancient city post station with vicissitudes of life and the tall and magnificent wine estate. The grassland, the Great Wall, the mountains and the windmills make this small city more colorful. Shaanxi.Liuba 5.💞This small town in the Qinling Mountains, which has gained some popularity in recent years, is a good place for people in Xi'an to escape the summer heat and cool down.

Hubei.Fang County 6. 💞Fang County, located in the north of Shennongjia, has a mountainous landform similar to that of Shennongjia. The Savage Valley, Savage Cave, and villages deep in the dense forest are all shrouded in clouds and mist, creating a beautiful artistic conception of secluded mountains and wilderness.

Shaanxi Province is vast, and what people often mention are mostly Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi. But in northern Shaanxi, there are still many treasures worth paying attention to. Last autumn, due to work, I accidentally discovered a thousand-year-old temple hidden in the gullies of Jia County, Yulin, Shaanxi—Buddha Hall Temple. ● The temple is built on the hillside of the loess plateau, with morning bells and evening drums, eaves and tiles, old and simple. The pines and cypresses are lush, quiet and peaceful. ● From the outside, it doesn't look very special, but inside there are 4️⃣ very hidden millennium grottoes (see picture 8️⃣). ● The first grotto, starting from the north, is the main grotto, containing seven exquisitely carved stone deities and one stele, with the main deity being Sakyamuni. ● The second grotto houses Ksitigarbha; this grotto is the largest, with a depth of 7 meters, a width of 6 meters, and a height of 4 meters. ● The third grotto houses Guanyin, and the fourth grotto houses the Three Skies Goddesses. ▶️ Written at the end The temple was built during the Song Dynasty, and the most valuable part should be the grottoes. After a thousand years, the remaining colors on the Buddha statues and the naturally formed patterns on the stone walls, like the Milky Way and the universe, seem to tell the glory of that era. Although the grottoes are exposed to the natural environment, making them feel like the most authentic existence, I also hope that these cultural heritages can be scientifically protected like the relics in museums.🙏🏻
