[2025 Zhen'an Attraction] Travel Guide for Jintai Mountain Cultural Tourist Area (Updated Mar)

Zhen'an County is one of the constructions under the jurisdiction of Shangluo, Shaanxi. It has been the main road from Chang'an to Ankang since ancient times. It is also the natural link between Shaanxi and Hubei. It is known as the Qin Chu throat. Zhen'an has a long history and culture, and the scenic spots are even more beautiful. I remember that the earliest impression of Zhen'an came from an advertisement for a bus that was frequently used in Xi'an - Zhenan Tayun Mountain. This time, my friend came to Xi'an to play, and took a trip to southern Shaanxi. The first time I passed through Zhen'an, I stayed here for an afternoon. Here, a large piece of imitation Tang architecture is particularly eye-catching. This is Jintaishan Cultural Tourism. Area. For the memories of Datang, we all stopped in Chang'an, but we don't know that there is a very beautiful imitation of Tang Dynasty buildings in a small county town in southern Shaanxi far away from Chang'an. Although it is a replica of Tang architecture, it is not made out of thin air.
