This museum is a Tang-style building complex with a "central hall and four corner towers". The main and secondary buildings are well-organized, the heights are staggered, and the momentum is solemn. It integrates national traditions, local characteristics and the spirit of the times. The museum covers an area of 65,000 square meters, and houses more than 380,000 cultural relics ranging from simple stone tools used in the initial stage of ancient humans to various artifacts in social life before 1840, covering a time span of more than one million years.

⛺️Seasonal Activities: The weather wasn't great this time, it was raining, but the autumn scenery was still quite beautiful. Hiking, working up a sweat, occasionally stopping to admire the scenery, and enjoying some local food are all good options.
📍Route: The cable car isn't open yet, so everyone is walking. It's mostly steps, not too difficult. Between the Fire Dragon Gate and Chicken Crest Cliff routes, I recommend the Fire Dragon Gate route, as it's relatively easier.
📷Photography: The entrance and the summit are great spots for taking pictures. Remember to bring a power bank, haha!

The overall environment of Zhang Liang Temple is quite nice. The scenic area isn't large; you can walk around it in a little over an hour. Before going, be sure to learn about Zhang Liang's life to make it more interesting, or hire a guide. Since it's Sunday, parking is relatively easy; you can park on the street, but private parking costs 10 yuan. The ticket price is 50 yuan, which feels a bit high.

Liuba Lover's Valley: A small free scenic spot, located beside Liuzhang Road, Liuhou Town, Liuba County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. You can visit this scenic spot on the way from Liuba County to Zibai Mountain. The scenic spot is not big, and there is not much romance for couples, but the plank road in the forest suspended between the pine forests is a bit unique and is a highlight of the scenic spot.

There were quite a few people when we went; the tour guide said it was considered relatively few, as it was truly packed during the National Day holiday. The Terracotta Army formation was awe-inspiring, and the craftsmen's dedication was truly admirable. The bronze chariots and horses were especially breathtaking and definitely worth seeing.

The Shaanxi History Museum is incredibly popular; I tried to book several days in advance but couldn't get a reservation… so I booked a guided tour, which made my trip to Xi'an worthwhile.
I saw so many treasures inside, but the most memorable were:
1. The Duoyou Ding: A bronze vessel from the reign of King Li of the Western Zhou Dynasty, with a 278-character inscription cast on its inner wall. My teacher said that the more inscriptions on a bronze vessel, the more valuable it is, and the more helpful it is for modern research into specific periods of ancient history. This elevated the value of the ding to an all-time high.
2. The Sancai Camel Carrying Musicians: A masterpiece of Tang Dynasty Sancai pottery, this camel carries eight small terracotta figures, each with expressive features and holding various musical instruments, depicting a scene of dance and music reflecting the fusion of Han and non-Han cultures during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It would definitely be considered overloaded on a modern road, haha! 😂
3. The Gold-Inlaid Beast-Head Agate Cup: Listed by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage as one of the first 64 national treasures permanently prohibited from being exhibited abroad. Exquisitely crafted, the cup's body mimics the shape of animal horns, with the front carved into a bull-shaped head, its eyes wide open and piercing. This is a unique piece in China.
4. Gilded Silver Ewer with Dancing Horse and Cup Design: The only artifact that provides concrete evidence of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's "Dancing Horse Birthday Celebration" ceremony. The dancing horse and cup design on the ewer is clearly defined and features flowing lines.
It is said that there is a heartbreaking story behind these dancing horses: During the Tang Dynasty, these meticulously trained court dancing horses would kneel and bow, holding wine cups in their mouths, to offer birthday wishes to the emperor. However, after the An Lushan Rebellion, they were scattered into the military camps of regional warlords and mixed into the army. When the dancing horses heard the drums and horns of the military camp, they thought the performance had begun and began to dance to the beat. The stablemen, terrified, considered this "monster" and whipped them. The dancing horses, mistaking the rhythm for being off, danced even more vigorously. Seeing this, the stablemen whipped them even more, killing them. The dancing horses thus disappeared. Therefore, this treasure is a top-tier national treasure, prohibited from leaving the country, bearing witness to the legend of "Dancing Horses and Cups."
The teachers only explained the museum's most prized possessions during this visit, and there were still so many artifacts we didn't have time to see. I look forward to visiting Xi'an again next time.
