Ankang, Shaanxi｜One city connects four provinces, the heart of China.

Ankang is located to the south of the Qinling Mountains. Geographically, the Qinling Mountains serve as the dividing line between north and south, which means Ankang belongs to the south of the motherland😃. The best season to come to Ankang is definitely not summer, because it’s really hotter than Xi’an🥵. The best season is spring. Ankang is commonly known as Xiaojiangnan. Fireworks are displayed in Yangzhou in March🌸. March, April, and even May are particularly comfortable in Ankang😌. Ankang has many small counties, all located in the mountains. On the way to the mountains in spring, you can smell the fragrance of thorn roses~ The rapeseed flowers in many rural fields are as good as those in Hanzhong🌼. The water in the small stream is also refreshingly cool and clear💧. Finally, you must eat authentic farm-style stir-fries when you come to Ankang. Ankang's stir-fried dishes are influenced by Sichuan culture and are very similar to Sichuan cuisine, but softer than Sichuan cuisine😋. From the border between Ziyang County and Chongqing to the border between Pingli County and Hubei, you can try to come to Pingli and take a 4 yuan bus to Zhuxi, Hubei🚌. ✅Day 1 Xi'an 2-hour drive to Shiquan ➡️Houliu Ancient Town ➡️Yanshan Waterfall ➡️Houliu Water Township ➡️Stone Pot Fish ✅Day 2 Zhongba Grand Canyon➡️Shiquan Ancient Town➡️Xi’an 🔴 Hanjiang Shiquan Ancient City Scenic Area 📍: Ming and Qing Ancient Street, Shiquan County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾：Free ⏱️: No opening hours yet 🔴 Yinghu Scenic Area 📍: Yinghu Pier, Yinghu Town, Hanbin District, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾: 70 yuan/adults, 35 yuan/children and students, free/seniors over 65 years old ⏱️：08:30–16:30 🔴 Zhongba Grand Canyon 📍: Zhongba Township, Houliu Town, Shiquan County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾：60 yuan/adult ticket ⏱️：08:00-18:00 🔴 Shuhe Ancient Town 📍: No. 48, Shuxiao Road, Xunyang City, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾：Free ⏱️：08:30–16:00 🔴Bashan Prairie 📍: Lancheng Road, Langao County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾：45 yuan/adult ticket 25 yuan/student ticket ⏱️：08:00-17:00 🔴Xiangxi Cave 📍: 1 km south of Ankang City, Hanbin District, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾：Free ⏱️：08:30-16:00 🔴 Nangongshan National Forest Park 📍: Next to Provincial Road 207, Nangongshan Town, Lan County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾: NT$90/adult NT$45/senior, child, student ⏱️: 08:00-15:00 (last admission 15:00) 🔴 Yanshan Waterfall 📍: Shihao Road, Houliu Town, Shiquan County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾：60 yuan/adult ⏱️：07:30-18:00 🔴 Fengyan Ancient Terraces 📍: Fengyan Ancient Rice Terraces, Xuanwu Town, Hanyin County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province 🧾：Free ⏱️：00:00-24:00
