Xi'an surroundings - Falling in a fairyland This is where we set off from Xi'an - Bashan Grassland The road is not particularly easy to walk on, the winding nine bends and eighteen turns along the way make people dizzy. Fortunately, my father is an experienced driver. When we reached the top of the mountain, everyone in the car started screaming! It’s so beautiful! The healing power of nature is truly miraculous. After getting off the bus, everyone was full of energy and ran to check in. The cloud-top tent is really a great place to stay on the top of a mountain. We stayed there directly. We had meals in the small house where we checked in. Please note that you should order lunch and dinner in advance. The grass around the tent is relatively high, reaching the calf. The dew is particularly heavy in the morning and evening. The rain boots we brought came in handy. We stayed on the top of the mountain for two nights and watched the sunset, the Milky Way, the sunrise, and the sea of ​​clouds. Everyone was very happy and fell in love with this grassland. The mountain paths are flat and easy to walk, and they are all great trails, perfect for walking children. Important note: There is almost no signal, and the Wi-Fi in the room is not good. Be sure to check the air conditioning in advance, it is especially cold at night. Also, it’s extremely dark at night, so bring a flashlight or headlamp!

I don't believe there is a more beautiful self-driving route near Xi'an! After so many years in Shaanxi, I finally took a 'national-level' self-driving route that connects the Qinling Mountains and the Bashan Mountains—the 'Qinba No.1 Highway'. Some time ago, I heard by chance that Ankang City had launched a new self-driving road called the 'Qinba No.1 Highway'. Taking advantage of its recent completion and before it becomes wildly popular, I drove a short section (Han River section) with my friends. All the photos are taken by myself, and the Han River did not disappoint! 🌈 About the 'Qinba No.1 Highway': The 'Qinba No.1 Highway' is a new self-driving route launched by Ankang City in Shaanxi, mainly following 'National Highway 210' and 'National Highway 541', starting from Guanghuo Street in Ningshan County, Ankang City in the north, to Zhenping County, the 'southern gateway' of Shaanxi in the south, with a total length of 500 kilometers, traversing the Qinling Mountains, Han River, and Bashan Mountains from north to south, it can be said to be the most maturely developed, with the best road conditions, and the most outstanding scenery of any Qinba mountain self-driving route in Shaanxi. The 'Qinba No.1 Highway' is not only a major north-south thoroughfare, but also a national scenic route in China. Its emergence marks the creation of a 'national-level' self-driving route that connects the Qinling Mountains and the Bashan Mountains in Shaanxi! 🌈 Route: Guanghuo Street in Ningshan County (National Highway 210) — Ningshan County — Shiquan County — Lijiaba in Shiquan County (switch to National Highway 541) — Ziyang County — Langao County — Baxian Town in Pingli County — Zhenping County. Here, I also share our 3-day and 2-night 'Qinba No.1 Highway' reverse journey experience of the 'Han River section'. Without exaggeration, there is no river view in Shaanxi that can surpass this section. ❤️ Day 1: Xi'an-Ankang City Hanyin District (Baomao Expressway + National Highway 211, 286 kilometers, 4 hours 00 minutes) Stay overnight in Langao County, experiencing the night scenery and local cuisine of southern Shaanxi; ❤️ Day2: Langao County Town—Langao Guest Road Hometown—Ziyang Donghe Town—Ziyang County Town—Ziyang Huangu Town (National Highway 541, 92 kilometers, 2 hours 20 minutes) Stay overnight in Huangu Town, falling asleep to the sound of the Han River; ❤️ Day3: Ziyang Huangu Town—Hanyin Xuanwo Town—Shiquan Xihe Town—Shiquan Yanshan Waterfall—Shiquan Houliu Water Town—Shiquan East Expressway Entrance (National Highway 541, 91 kilometers, 115 kilometers, 2 hours 16 minutes) End of the trip, return to Xi'an.
