The ticket I bought online at Ctrip was the same as the one I bought on site, 85 yuan for a round trip. When I went to Haisha Peninsula, the boarding terminal was a bit chaotic. Tourists rushed to the boarding gate wherever the boat arrived, so that the tourists in the front of the line could not get on the boat, while the tourists in the back of the line got on the boat early. I hope the scenic area pier can manage it to prevent the elderly and children from being squeezed and in danger.
It is rare to find such a scenic spot in China that includes deserts, grasslands, and lakes. Hongjiannao is located in Yulin, northern Shaanxi. The parking lot is a bit small and there is no one to direct the flow of cars. At noon, the parking lot was full of cars. Later, the cars did not know and were all circling around in it. Hongjiannao has beautiful scenery and many water activities. It is worth a visit.

⛰Explore the Secrets of Shenmu Erlang Mountain | A treasure in northern Shaanxi that is definitely worth visiting
The vast land of northern Shaanxi hides a fascinating mountain - Shenmu Erlang Mountain. It is like a bright pearl, exuding a unique charm, attracting countless tourists to unveil its mysterious veil. Today, follow this guide to explore the highlights of Erlang Mountain!
🌄Unique mountain terrain, comparable to the danger of Huashan Mountain
Erlang Mountain is known as the "Little Huashan Mountain in Northern Shaanxi". Its mountain terrain is winding and steep. There are two bulges in the middle of the mountain, just like the double humps of a camel, so it is also called "Hump Mountain". Looking from a distance, the whole mountain is like a giant dragon lying on the ground, magnificent. Walking along the narrow ridge, the cliffs on both sides are daunting. Every step is full of challenges, but it also brings an unparalleled exciting experience. The feeling that is comparable to the steepness of Mount Hua will definitely make you unforgettable.
🛕Three religions in one, religious and cultural wonders
The magic of Erlang Mountain is that it is a holy place where Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are integrated. On the ridge of more than 1,000 meters before and after, there are more than 30 buildings of various types scattered around. The Dizang Cave Grottoes, which was built during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, is a Buddhist temple that enshrines Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The caisson stone carvings in the cave combine Taoist Bagua symbols with dragon, phoenix and lotus patterns, which are exquisite. The Three Religions Hall, which was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, enshrines Sakyamuni, Confucius and Laozi together. The east and west walls of the hall are painted with "Dongshan Panorama" and "Xishan Panorama", which fully demonstrates the harmonious coexistence of the three religions. This unique landscape is extremely rare elsewhere.
📜Long history and profound cultural heritage
The history of the Erlangshan Temple Group can be traced back to before the Ming Dynasty. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it carries rich historical and cultural connotations. The murals, sculptures, stone carvings, inscriptions, etc. in the temple are all precious cultural treasures. For example, the Ming Dynasty brick-carved screen wall outside the gate of Erlang Temple has a "Tiger Roaring Picture" carved on the front and a "Nine Dragons Playing in the Water Picture" carved on the back. The lines are smooth and lifelike; the stone archway in front of the temple was built in the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. It has two pillars and one room, a hanging mountain top, stone-carved brackets under the eaves, and two dragons playing with pearls on the lintel. The craftsmanship is exquisite and simple and elegant. Walking through it, it seems that you can hear the echo of history.
🎉Traditional temple fairs, folk customs feast
Every year on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, and the twenty-second day of the sixth lunar month, it is the traditional temple fair of Erlangshan. At this time, Erlangshan is very lively, with merchants and tourists. People from surrounding areas came to worship, shop, or taste delicious food. At the temple fair, folk performances such as dragon and lion dances, yangko and land boats were wonderful and full of rich folk customs. Being in it, you can deeply feel the profound local cultural heritage and the enthusiasm and vitality of the people. It is an excellent opportunity to experience the folk culture of northern Shaanxi.
