Shaanxi Travel | Hanzhong Rapeseed Flower Viewing Guide in Yanchang Town

Shaanxi Travel | Hanzhong Rapeseed Flower Viewing Guide in Yanchang Town

"The plain is yellow with rapeseed flowers, and the spring beauty intoxicates the Ba Mountains," the rapeseed flowers of Zhenba can be described as "one town connected to another," covering almost every corner of the county. In addition to the previously mentioned Yudu Town, the neighboring Yanchang Town is also suitable for viewing rapeseed flowers~ 📍Location: Yanchang Town, Zhenba County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province 🎫Ticket: Free 🌟Vast Flower Fields: If Yudu Town is suitable for climbing high and looking far to appreciate the pastoral landscape, then the rapeseed flowers of Yanchang Town are suitable for close-up viewing. Because there are not many residential buildings in the flower sea, but densely packed rapeseed flowers form continuous patches. Walking along, there is always a touch of golden yellow accompanying you, as if you have entered a grand feast of spring 🌟Grain and Oil Base: Although the rapeseed flowers of Yanchang are connected in patches, there are also ridges and roads in the flower sea for photo opportunities, giving the same feeling of being in the midst of the flowers. Do not enter or trample on the rapeseed flowers at will, as this place is not only for viewing but also a grain production base! 🌟Contrast of Red and Yellow: If there is anything special about the rapeseed flowers of Yanchang Town, it is that many places also grow peach blossoms or crabapple flowers. The pink and golden colors clash vividly, together outlining this touch of spring beauty~

June in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, 25℃ in the Qinba Secret Realm Early Summer

June in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, 25℃ in the Qinba Secret Realm Early Summer

🌿 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. The mountain roads are winding, so experienced drivers are recommended~ 💡 Tips: Zibai Mountain is over 2600 meters high, bring a light jacket; Shimen Plank Road has many mosquitoes, bring insect repellent spray~

Do you know canola oil is of such pretty plants?

#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.
