Things to do in Weinan

Not the faint hearted. You need to wear knee guards and also be prepared to walk vertically up and down 😆

The West Peak Taihua Cableway is truly a highlight of Mount Hua, and calling it an aerial roller coaster is no exaggeration 🚡 The entire ride takes about 20 minutes, traversing over 4,000 meters diagonally, hugging the granite cliffs with a sheer drop below. On a clear day, the views are breathtaking, and when you encounter a sea of ​​clouds, the atmosphere is simply ethereal. The upper station is carved directly into the West Peak, and the exit is right at Lotus Peak, saving you hours of arduous climbing and allowing you to save your energy for the South Peak and the Plank Road in the Sky. Passing over the support structure, you'll experience a slight swaying and a feeling of weightlessness—thrilling yet safe, and perfect for taking amazing photos. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Mount Hua!

I first visited Lishan Garden, then took the free shuttle bus to the Terracotta Warriors. Overall, it was quite nice. However, the first electric shuttle bus I took in Lishan Garden tried to drop off tourists at a non-designated stop, forcing them to return to the starting point and take the bus again. Only after I insisted did they take me to the bronze chariots and horses.

The hotel is right next to the Xiyue Temple, about a 20-minute walk from Huashan North Railway Station, and a taxi to the Huashan Visitor Center costs around 10 yuan. Shopping and dining are also very convenient. The first floor is a bathhouse, and the second floor is for accommodation. Guests can enjoy free showers; a hot bath after climbing Huashan is incredibly relaxing. The only downside is that the hotel facilities are a bit old, but overall it offers excellent value for money.

Lotus Peak boasts stunning scenery and a rich cultural heritage. Hiking along Qinglong Back is easy, with breathtaking views of towering cliffs on both sides and panoramic vistas of surrounding mountains. The legends surrounding Cuiyun Palace and Axe-Split Stone carry auspicious meanings.

Many courtyard house complexes are nestled in quiet valleys, each building possessing its own unique character. After 6 PM, the staff at the entrances leave, allowing pedestrians free access. Wenxing Pavilion, Qianlou, and Kanjialou are all quite nice. As for Sichuan pepper yogurt, it's best to try it in Hancheng Ancient City; it's available everywhere.

This is a great place to learn about historical figures and acquire historical knowledge, inspiring a sense of solemnity and reverence. Although the path is not long, it is not easy to walk, so those with mobility issues should proceed with caution.

The highlight of Tongguan Ancient City is its magnificent scenery of "mountains and rivers as one". The Yellow River's nine bends and the view of the intersection of three provinces are breathtaking. The ancient city wall, Nuwa Square and other attractions combine historical significance with visual appeal. Authentic local cuisine and night views are also added to the charm.

The scenic area is suitable for families with children; the distance isn't too far, and there's a glass walkway to enjoy. It's quite cool in the summer, and not too crowded, making it a great option. After leaving the scenic area, there are also delicious local snacks nearby.

The three temples in the ancient city (Confucian Temple, City God Temple, and Dongying Temple): The Confucian Temple is the largest Confucian temple in Northwest China, with Yuan Dynasty architecture and exquisite stone carvings; the City God Temple is a magnificent ancient building complex.
