茯茶镇清幽小院

Hey guys! Who knows! Tired of visiting the Terracotta Warriors and the Tang Dynasty City that Never Sleeps in Xi'an? I stumbled upon a hidden gem: Fucha Town! No crowds, just the 600-year-old aroma of tea. Just a few steps here feels like stepping into a Ming or Qing Dynasty painting. The food is delicious and the photos are great. For just 50 yuan per person, you can spend the whole day here. Even the locals come secretly! 🚶‍♀️ 🌟First, let's focus on the key points: Accurate Location & Travel Tips (No Detours) - Search directly on Amap: Fucha Town Scenic Area, Jingyang County, Xianyang City (northwest of the intersection of Tea Horse Avenue and Gaojing Middle Road, Jinghe New City) - Transportation: 1. Driving: About an hour from downtown Xi'an. The scenic area parking lot costs 10 yuan per day. Parking at the "East Entrance Parking Lot" is the most convenient, closest to the main check-in area! 2. Public Transportation: Take the intercity railway from Xi'an North Railway Station to Jinghe Station. From there, take a taxi for about 15 yuan, a 10-minute ride and a hassle-free fare. - Best Time to Visit: 10 AM - 5 PM (avoid the midday sun; the evening sunset on the bluestone pavement is absolutely stunning!) - Admission: Free! Free! Free! (Only some experiences have fees, which we'll discuss below.) 🕰️600 Years of Fu Tea History: It turns out this place holds the secret of "ancient milk tea"! Did you know, my dears? Fu tea is no ordinary tea! During the Ming Dynasty, this place was a key stop on the Silk Road. Caravans carried Fu tea across the desert because it aided digestion and reduced greasiness. It was called the "tea of ​​life for the people of the Northwest." 🍵 At the time, a pound of Fu tea could be exchanged for a fine horse, making it more valuable than gold! 📸Must-do List: Filming + Experience Both Online (Avoid Pitfalls Guide Attached) 1. Handmade Fucha Tea Experience: Become an "Ancient Tea Farmer" for a Day Since you're here, you absolutely must make your own Fucha! At the scenic area's "Fucha Workshop," you can experience rolling and pressing tea leaves. A master will teach you step-by-step, and you can take your own homemade tea cake home. For 38 yuan per person, it's much more meaningful than buying souvenirs! The finished tea cakes can even be engraved, making them a thoughtful gift for friends. ✍️ 2. Bluestone Ancient Street: Snap Stunning Ming and Qing Dynasty Photos The entire ancient town is lined with Ming and Qing Dynasty architecture, adorned with blue brick and gray tile. The "Ancient Tea Horse Road" is especially striking, with its red lanterns and tea signs. Walking along the stone pavement, the air is filled with the fragrance of tea. Wearing Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing) is a perfect way to take photos! There's a Hanfu rental shop at the entrance to the scenic area. For 50 yuan per hour, including hairstyle and accessories, it's a much better value than in the city. I recommend taking photos in front of the "Ancient Theater" and the "Fucha Sculpture" for a clean and atmospheric background! 📸 3. Hidden Gem: Enjoy Creative "Fucha-flavored" Snacks Don't think the ancient town is all about tea! The snacks here are all inspired by "tea": - Fucha Ice Cream: 15 yuan per piece. The tea and milky aromas are not cloying at all, and they're great for photos! - Fucha Pastry: 10 yuan per box. Crispy and crumbly, perfect as a souvenir! - Jingyang Rangxi: A must-try! Similar to buckwheat noodles, topped with a meat sauce and paired with a sip of Fucha, it's a great way to relieve the spiciness and greasiness. 20 yuan per bowl. Locals often go to "Laojie Rangxi Restaurant." ⚠️Avoid these "traps"! 1. Don't buy cheap Fu'er tea sold on the street! There are many small vendors outside the scenic area, claiming "10 yuan per cake," but these are actually low-quality tea. If you want authentic Fu'er tea, go to the "Jingyang Fu'er Tea Flagship Store" next to the museum. They clearly mark prices and guarantee no rip-offs. 2. Don't take the scenic area's "sightseeing bus"! The ancient town is small and can be explored in a two-hour walk. The sightseeing bus costs 30 yuan per person, so it's not worth the expense. 3. Don't miss the evening "Tea Fragrance Show"! Every day at 4 pm, there's a tea art performance on the ancient stage. The ladies brew tea with incredible grace, and you can enjoy free tea tastings. Be sure to reserve a seat in advance! 💬Finally: Why do I recommend visiting Fu'er Tea Town? Compared to the crowded popular tourist attractions, this place feels more like a "small world of slow living." Sit in a teahouse, sip 600-year-old Fucha tea, watch the sunlight filter through the carved windows, and listen to the owner recount stories of ancient caravans. This kind of trip, free of rushing schedules and crowds, is the perfect way to relax on the weekend! 😌 If this guide helped you, please like and follow me!
