Hello, dear friends, hello everyone. Recently, our family embarked on an unforgettable journey to the dreamlike Longtou Mountain. Here, we not only enjoyed the magnificent sunrise but also experienced the cool and pleasant natural scenery. It was truly a refreshing experience for both body and mind. 📍 **Destination**: Hanzhong Longtou Mountain 🚗 **Transportation**: We chose to take the high-speed train and then a taxi. The high-speed train took only 1 hour to reach Hanzhong Station. We then tasted delicious wooden barrel fish locally, and took a taxi for about 150 yuan, reaching our destination in about 1 hour. 🎫 **Tickets and Accommodation**: We booked the Yunshang Hotel on the mountain top in advance, which included the ticket and cable car fees. The hotel rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a buffet restaurant and activity center. If the weather permits, there is also a bonfire party at night. The cost-performance ratio is really high. 🚠 **Tour Route**: After arriving at the visitor center, we took the cable car and then the escalator, reaching the mountain top easily in about 20 minutes. There are trails on the mountain top, and along the tour route, we can visit various viewing platforms to enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and sea of clouds. The entire tour takes about 2 to 3 hours. ✅ **Tips**: 1. There are supermarkets, restaurants, and noodle shops on the mountain top, with very reasonable prices. 2. The temperature in the morning and evening can be slightly lower, so it is recommended to bring a light jacket, especially if you plan to watch the sunrise early in the morning, keeping warm is very important. This trip to Longtou Mountain not only allowed us to appreciate the grandeur of nature but also brought our family closer together. If you are also looking for a place suitable for a family trip, where you can relax and enjoy the natural beauty, Longtou Mountain is definitely a great choice. Bring your family and set off together! 🌄🏞👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

If you are tired of crowded, check-in style travel, come here—in the end of the cloudwalk, meet the gentlest folds of the Qinling Mountains. — Longtoushan awaits you to uncover the answers hidden in its layered peaks.

#freemuseumdays 古汉台, namely ancient Han square, is now turned into the local museum, which is absolutely free to anyone including foreigners. HanZhong being one of the most historically significant city back in Han Dynasty (and post-Han Three Kingdom period), it packs a lot of exhibition of Han leaders that is usually less emphasized in other museums (other museums tend to focus more on the latter dynasties). So to get a complete sense of the history of China, taking your time to visit this museum will be both worth the time and money—wait, it doesn’t need to worth the money because it’s absolutely free! Just go to the reception, they might even waive from the online ticketing process! 📍古汉台 Gu Han Tai Museum

🌿 June in Hanzhong is no longer the rapeseed flower paradise of March, but it hides even more surprising scenery: meadows full of wildflowers on Zibai Mountain, and the clear water of Shimen plank road flowing through cliffs～ ✨ Off-the-beaten-path experiences: - Zibai Mountain hiking: Take the cable car to the top (round trip 120 yuan). In June, the meadows are covered with globeflowers. Walking along the ridge, you can see a naturally formed "tiankeng" (sinkhole); ​ - Shimen Plank Road: Walk on the ancient cliff plank road. In June, the Baohé River water is emerald green. See the "world's first man-made tunnel" (Shimen Cave) carved by ancient people. The 80 yuan ticket is totally worth it; ​ - Qingmuchuan Ancient Town: A 3-hour drive to the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces. In June, the ancient town has fewer tourists. Drink can-can tea on Huilongchang Old Street and admire the carved doors and windows of the Wei Fu Tang old residence～ 🍲 Southern Shaanxi cuisine: Hot rice noodles (with tofu side dish), walnut bread. Recommended to go to "Zhang Mingfu Mianpi," which opens at 6 a.m. and is popular with locals～ 🚗 Transportation: Rent a car at Hanzhong High-Speed Rail Station. Zibai Mountain is 90 minutes from the city center by car.

Hey everyone! I'm Brother Xin, here to share my recent travel experience in Hanzhong. This trip was absolutely fantastic—not only did I explore Hanzhong's famous historical sites, but I also indulged in local delicacies. What left the deepest impression was my stay at Hanzhong Rongjia International Hotel (Hanjiang Wetland Park Branch). 🌟 A Nighttime Feast Under the Twin Lotus Thrones The moment I stepped into this hotel, I was captivated by its unique "Twin Lotus Thrones" design. At night, the entire building lights up brilliantly, complementing the Hanjiang Wetland Park across the river—a true visual feast. Standing on the balcony of my room, watching the shimmering lights on the river, all my worries seemed to melt away. The room design is also exquisite, especially the deluxe river-view home theater room. Lounging on the sofa while enjoying a private cinema-like experience was pure bliss! 🍽️ A Culinary Journey Through Sichuan and Cantonese Flavors When it comes to food, we Shaanxi folks know our stuff. But this hotel's restaurants still managed to surprise me. They serve authentic Sichuan and Cantonese dishes, along with a dedicated neo-Chinese-style floor. I highly recommend their private dining rooms—not only is the ambiance elegant, but the dishes are a feast for the eyes and palate. The spicy and fragrant boiled fish is unforgettable! The hotel also boasts a banquet hall that can accommodate a thousand guests, perfect for family gatherings or business events. 🎈 A Fun Destination for Families For families with kids, this hotel is an excellent choice. They offer specially designed family suites, complete with child-friendly amenities and cartoon-themed decor that kids will adore. There are also kid-friendly spaces within the hotel, like the skyline viewing restaurant, where both adults and children can enjoy delicious food while taking in the stunning views. 🚗 Convenient Transportation, Hassle-Free Travel Lastly, the hotel's location couldn’t be more convenient. Whether you're heading to nearby attractions like Longtou Mountain or Guhantai, or exploring downtown for shopping, everything is easily accessible. There’s a bus stop right outside the hotel, and the high-speed rail station and highway entrance are just minutes away by car. For those driving, there’s no need to worry about parking—the hotel offers over 200 free parking spaces. In short, if you're planning a trip to Hanzhong, I highly recommend Hanzhong Rongjia International Hotel (Hanjiang Wetland Park Branch). It’s sure to leave you with wonderful memories!

#springitinerary While most people associate spring with cherry blossom (I did too), it’s easy to forget about the beauty of other flowers blossoming. For example, rapeseed flowers. During my trip to Hanzhong, Shaanxi, I had no idea that Hanzhong was famous for rapeseed flower, nor that it was in the season of blossoming. But thankfully we managed to be reminded and be a part of this once-in-a-year event. There were a handful of rapeseed flower field in Hanzhong. But some of the bigger ones were rather far away, and we were on a rush, so we only went for the one in the northeast of the city, which was pretty enough of an experience for me and my friend.

Hanzhong borders Guangyuan and Bazhong in Sichuan to the south, Xi'an and Baoji to the north, and Longnan to the west. It derives its name from the Han River flowing through the region and has been poetically called "Tianhan" (Heavenly Han) since ancient times. During the Xia Dynasty to the Western Zhou period, the Bao State was established here. Later, the Chu State set up Hanzhong Commandery in Ankang along the middle reaches of the Han River. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, it was part of Nanzheng, alternately controlled by the Ba-Shu region and the Qin State. In the early Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was appointed King of Han in Nanzheng and spent five years conquering Chu to unify China, retaining "Han" as the dynastic name. Key attractions include Liping Scenic Area, Zibai Mountain Scenic Area, Hanzhong Museum, Ancient Han Terrace, and Shimen Plank Road Scenic Area. Tianhan Jingyi Hotel is situated by the Han River Wetland Park, offering beautiful surroundings and just a ten-minute drive from the Xi'an-Hanzhong Expressway interchange. As Hanzhong's finest five-star resort hotel, this marks my third visit. The first was years ago during a road trip to Gannan and northern Sichuan when many roads were still challenging, before the Xi'an-Hanzhong Expressway opened—truly experiencing the adage "The road to Shu is harder than climbing to heaven." This 1.5-month southwestern journey began in Xi'an, with dramatically improved transportation and hotels compared to years past—flights and high-speed rails made travel effortless through Chongqing, Kunming, and Tengchong. The latter half was a self-drive tour via Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La, returning along the Beijing-Kunming Expressway at a leisurely pace of 200-300km daily through Panzhihua, Xichang, Ya'an, Chengdu, and Qingchuan, ending in Hanzhong. Staying again at the familiar Tianhan Jingyi Hotel—peaceful, with fresh air—I enjoyed easy access to Han River Wetland Park via the back door with my room key. The breakfast buffet was excellent, though I also tried local specialty "Huang Lading" fish outside. After a relaxing day, I drove back to Chang'an across the Qinling Mountains. Beautiful moments—farewell, Southwest!
