Location: Zhashui Karst Cave, Shangluo, Shaanxi, China Tour fee: ~ 230¥ Date: May 1, 2022 As you know we went to this cave with a tour agency, because it’s very far from Xi’an. When we got there, the administration of the area told us that they would like to take videos and photos of us (they wanted to use this for advertisement), and instead they would provide all inclusive service for free. Can you imagine how happy and surprised we were? First we went through the tunnel and then this wonderful scenery opened in front of us. There was a glass bridge, which was so amazing. It was the first time I was standing on it, so I had different feelings. As it wasn’t so long and high, I wasn’t afraid, only a bit)) If you have acrophobia (a fear of heights), don’t be afraid and walk on the bridge. This will help you overcome your fear. When you look around and see stunning nature, all your fear escapes:) #shangluo #zhashui #cave #tunnel #glassbridge #adrenaline #trip #natur

Xi'an's top self-driving autumn trip! Two secret routes in Huanghualing, Qinling—every snapshot is an autumn masterpiece Want to avoid the crowds and fully immerse yourself in the brilliant late autumn of Qinling? This self-driving guide around Xi'an is a must-have! Head straight to Huanghualing, where colorful forests, winding roads, and ancient village charm will fill your autumn social feed. 1. Classic Loop: Xi'an → Fengyukou → Huanghualing → Zhongnanshan Village (Enjoy autumn all the way without detours) 1. Fengyukou: Opening the autumn chapter Starting from downtown Xi'an, enter Qinling through Fengyukou. As soon as you enter the mountains, you’ll be greeted by a full screen of autumn—trees quietly don golden and crimson “attire,” and the mountain breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and wood, instantly escaping the city’s hustle and bustle. 2. Watershed + Guanghuo Street: Scenic views and tasty treats Drive along National Highway G210 to the Watershed first—this is the iconic dividing point between the north and south of Qinling. Stop the car to see clouds and mist winding through the colorful forest sea; the layered autumn scenery is incredibly healing. Continue to Guanghuo Street, where you must try local specialties: the chewy Zuoshui potato glutinous rice cake and the savory taro powder stir-fried with cured meat. Eat well to have energy for more exploring. 3. Huanghualing: Driving through a painting Turn onto Provincial Road S102 from Guanghuo Street and officially enter the Huanghualing section. This mountain road twists and turns, with trees on both sides like a spilled palette—reds, yellows, and greens weave into a vibrant painting. Driving through it feels like stepping into an autumn fairy tale. 4. Yangpo Courtyard: Slow mountain time Cross Huanghualing to reach Yangpo Courtyard homestay in Zhujiawan. There are six independent courtyards, each with a different style, all tightly embraced by green mountains. When tired, stop to gather around the stove in the courtyard, brew tea, gaze at the mountain views, and enjoy a rare slow pace. 5. Zhongnanshan Village: A surprising finale The trip ends at Zhongnanshan Village, with old houses topped with bluestone slabs and ancient streets paved with bluestone, full of the charm of time. Stroll along the street tasting local snacks, and challenge thrilling activities like zip-lining and via ferrata. The collision of nature and culture will perfectly conclude your journey. 2. Reverse Route: Niubeiliang Forest Park → Zhongnanshan Village → Yangpo Courtyard → Huanghualing (Deep autumn pursuit) If you want to first immerse yourself in the autumn forest atmosphere, start at Niubeiliang Forest Park—its autumn forest sea feels even more secluded. Hiking here lets you get close to golden fallen leaves and pine-needle-laden branches. Then follow the order “Zhongnanshan Village → Yangpo Courtyard → Huanghualing” for your tour. End the trip with a “painting-like drive” on Huanghualing’s mountain road, delivering an equally full experience. 3. Key Notes - Road condition alert: Qinling’s weather is changeable in autumn and winter. If Fengyukou is closed, don’t panic! You can switch to the backup route “Hucai Road → Guanghuo Street → Huanghualing.” - Driving safety: Some sections have many curves and steep slopes. Drive slowly and carefully when meeting other vehicles, especially watch out for slippery roads on rainy days.

The rain quietly left last night. Opening the glass window, a fresh air mixed with the scent of earth and grass rushes in, like a natural morning fragrance gifted by nature. In the distance, the outline of Huazhu Niubeiliang Resort emerges faintly through the mist, the mountain scenery hazy, like a freshly completed ink painting. What moves the heart most is the 30,000-square-meter lawn stretching between heaven and earth. After the rain’s cleansing, every blade of grass is full of green vitality, unfolding in the morning light. The sunlight falls just right, instantly turning the entire lawn into a shimmering green ocean. Dewdrops linger on the grass tips, refracting scattered light like diamonds scattered on the ground. Walking through it, the grass gently brushes against the ankles, bringing a cool sensation. Raising the camera casually, no deliberate framing is needed—framed by verdant mountains and seated on boundless green grass, every angle is a painting. The sunlight here is especially gentle; with the interplay of light and shadow, every shot is stunning. At the end of the lawn, several white villas stand quietly. They are authentic Italian Tuscan-style buildings, with off-white walls shining pure and bright under the post-rain sunlight. The rough texture exudes rustic warmth, and the red sloped roofs complement the exquisite arched doors. These buildings seem not built here but drifting from the Tuscan sunshine, resting by chance among these mountains and waters. At this moment, the sky is a blue that intoxicates the heart. It is a blue thoroughly purified by rain, clear and deep, like an inverted lake. A few wisps of thin clouds drift leisurely, adding a poetic touch. The blue sky, as a perfect backdrop, harmoniously blends the white buildings and lush lawn into a moving picture. Standing in the center of the lawn, feeling the breeze on the face and listening to distant birdsong, time seems to slow down at this moment. This place is far from the hustle and bustle, close to the soul. Every breath carries sweetness, every moment worth cherishing. At sunset, the clouds on the horizon are dyed golden red, bathing the entire lawn in a warm glow. The white buildings appear even softer in the twilight, as if telling a story about a distant place. This day at Huazhu Niubeiliang Resort, this glimpse of Tuscan charm, is destined to linger in memory for a long, long time. Tonight, the dream will surely be green, carrying the fragrance of grass, drifting toward that deep blue sky.

Named for its nine peaks standing side by side, Nine Heavens Mountain features winding trails that resemble a green dragon. Along the way, lush forests and harmonious bird songs accompany travelers, while occasional waterfalls cascade from the heavens, shrouding the surroundings in mist. Every step feels like walking into a living landscape painting. Upon reaching the summit, a panoramic view unfolds—layers of verdant peaks and rolling seas of clouds create the sensation of being at the edge of the sky. The wind whispers past your ears, carrying the essence of the mountains and the coolness of the clouds. Nine Heavens Mountain embodies both grandeur and tranquility, its magnificence broadening the mind and reminding us to revere the power of nature. This is a journey of communion with the earth and sky, a voyage that liberates the soul.

#September2025 Stepping into Zhashui Cave is like stepping into the heart of the earth. The cool breeze at the cave entrance instantly dispels the summer heat. Winding down, following the illuminated path, stalactites, stalagmites, and stone curtains shimmer in the colorful lights, resembling an inverted galaxy. Water drips from the cave ceiling, creating an ethereal sound that echoes the pulse of the earth. Deeper, a gurgling underground river shimmers with a faint blue luster, reminiscent of the passage of time. Every stone wall bears the marks of eons of time, its bizarre shapes awe-inspiring the work of nature. Exiting the cave, sunlight breaks through, and the awe of that dark yet magnificent beauty remains.

Venturing into the heart of the Qinling Mountains, the grandeur of Niubei Ridge leaves one breathless. In the early morning, mist drapes the forest like a veil, with sunlight piercing through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. As you ascend the mountain path, the moss feels damp, and the sound of trickling streams echoes, as if resonating with the pulse of the earth. Reaching the mountainside, a sea of clouds surges like an endless ocean. The breeze carries the crisp, invigorating scent unique to high altitudes, refreshing the soul. Higher up, the trees thin out, revealing peaks resembling dragons, vast and magnificent. At the summit, the horizon opens up, leaving one in awe. The sea of clouds rolls in the golden glow of the sunset, as if the world unfolds beneath your feet. In this moment, all worldly noise fades away, leaving only the mountain wind and the rhythm of your heartbeat. Niubei Ridge is the most majestic verse of the Qinling Mountains and the deepest breath of nature.

It's very convenient, only a 1-minute walk from Huakai Marine Eco Park. The guesthouse is clean and clean, the bed mattress is comfortable, and it was very quiet at night, so I was able to sleep soundly. It's convenient to go to Huakai Marine Eco Park, but there are no shops or restaurants nearby, so if you don't want to go far for meals, I recommend making reservations at the guesthouse. The staff at the guesthouse were very kind. There is Fengjing Ancient Town about a 20-minute drive away, so you can enjoy sightseeing there.

Located in Zhashui County, Shangluo, Shaanxi, Xipo Qinling Homestay is a mountain county with a forest coverage rate of 65%. It is known as the "first county of Zhongnan, a gallery of mountains and rivers." Xipo Qinling is located in a village called Chejiahe, about a two-hour drive from downtown Xi'an. To get here, you need to pass through a long Qinling tunnel, with towering mountains and deep green on both sides. As you travel over the mountains, you will feel a sense of nostalgia. I also like the architectural style of Xipo, which is a "borderless countryside" concept. You will find this pastoral life familiar, but with a unique and sophisticated feel. The designer has cleverly integrated local cultural elements while pursuing modern living comfort, creating a natural paradise. Covering an area of 2,000 square meters, there are only 11 rooms in 3 courtyards. The small size makes it quieter and more comfortable, with a warm atmosphere.

Xipo Qinling Resort Zhashui County, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province For native Shaanxi people, the Qinling Mountains not only represent the geographical significance of the "Qinling-Huaihe Line," but also hold a special place in their hearts. The mountains have nurtured generations of simple and honest Qinling families and have always been a place to escape the city and relax. Following in the footsteps of "Xipo," you will fly over the lush mountains of Qinling and pass through the mysterious Qinling Tunnel, the longest tunnel in Asia, to reach Xipo Qinling. Only then will you understand the ancient poets' descriptions of "Where is home beyond the clouds of Qinling?" and "Deep in the clouds, I know not where." There are three courtyards, gradually ascending with the terrain, distributed in the valley, and named Beiyang, Niubei, and Xilu. Each courtyard is a complete immersive vacation space with privacy. Xipo has utilized the original idle old houses, retaining the characteristics of southern Shaanxi dwellings, such as tiled roofs, brick carvings, and earth-colored rammed earth walls, which are simple, warm, and full of rustic charm. The housekeepers and aunts are all local residents, each with a few signature home-cooked dishes, from seasonal wild vegetables to authentic northwest noodles. The three treasures of Zhashui: walnuts, black fungus, and chestnuts, are the most representative autumn flavors of the mountains. There are many attractions around Xipo Qinling. You can drive through the Qinling Tunnel, winding up the mountain, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
