Xiguan Plaza, Chengguan Town (2nd floor, West End Commercial Building)
What travelers say:
Tired of the crowded popular attractions, I plan to change my way of playing this May Day and go to a place with few people and beautiful scenery to lie down. If you have the same idea, then you must keep this 2-day 1-night guide to Ziyang, a small mountain town in southern Shaanxi! There are mountains, water, ancient towns, many delicious foods, super homestays, and a citywalk that is beyond the movie. It is a treasure trove of weekend vacations.
🚗 Starting from Xi'an, it takes 3 hours to drive to this county town that is like "Little Chongqing in Southern Shaanxi" and start a leisurely vacation. Here I will share with you the specific itinerary:
Route planning
- D1: Taste Ziyang steamed pot at Fumanlou → Take the popular small cable car → East Gate/Old Street citywalk → Ziyang Square Night Market
- Fumanlou: After arriving at the county town, navigate directly to "Fumanlou". This is a favorite of local gourmets. The signature Ziyang steamed pot is a must-order. The soup is delicious and the ingredients are rich; the stone pot jelly has a smooth taste and is paired with a unique sauce, which makes you addicted; the Ziyang tofu is soft and fragrant; the potato and bacon are fried, salty, fragrant and chewy. Every bite is the taste of home, which really makes people cry!
- Internet celebrity cable car: After dinner, you can go downstairs to see the Internet celebrity cable car. You can take a ride for only 1 yuan. It is full of retro feeling. Any photo is very good. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a low-profile version of the Hong Kong cable car. My children took 3 round trips and were reluctant to leave.
- East Gate/Old Street City Walk: Go to East Gate and Jiaochangba in the afternoon and start the city walk in this old city. The houses here are built on the mountain, the stone alleys are winding, and there is a scene at every step. The unique charm of southern Shaanxi is everywhere. The name "Little Chongqing in Southern Shaanxi" is well-deserved. Every step you take can feel the charm of the years.
- Ziyang Square Night Market: Arriving at Ziyang Square Night Market in the evening, you will be instantly surrounded by the bustling atmosphere of fireworks. We recommend Lao San Casserole and Ah Hao BBQ, which are completely different from the taste of Xi'an, and have a unique flavor. You will feel happy after taking a bite. There is also a hidden check-in camera at the end of the night market - a spiral staircase. Downstairs is a peculiar parking building. Standing here to take pictures, you can easily take a déjà vu of the Chongqing Mountain City Trail.
- D2: Square Morning Market → Half Acre Tea Garden → Northern Five Provinces Guild Hall → Huangu Ancient Town
- Square Morning Market: Get up early and go to the square morning market. All kinds of fresh wild vegetables and wild game are sold in bamboo baskets, which are full of life and very interesting.
- Half Acre Tea Garden: It takes 20 minutes to drive from the county to the Half Acre Tea Garden. In this season, the tea mountains are lush and beautiful like a painting. Not only can you take beautiful photos here, but you can also experience the fun of picking tea leaves by yourself. Before leaving, buy some fresh spring tea and bring the taste of spring home.
- Guild Hall of the Northern Five Provinces: After going down the mountain, you will arrive at the Guild Hall of the Northern Five Provinces, and it is free to visit! The guild hall is not large in scale, but it is full of age. A theater with flying eaves and brackets is particularly eye-catching. The most precious thing is the murals of the Qing Dynasty on the walls. Although they have gone through years, they are still colorful, and each one tells the story of the past.
- Huangu Ancient Town: At noon, return to the county town to taste Ankang Luojia steamed noodles. The taste is a bit like cold noodles, but its chili is super spicy, and it tastes fragrant and refreshing, making people unable to stop. In the afternoon, go to Huangu Ancient Town, which is a small mountain and water town hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains. It is sparsely populated, beautiful, simple and quiet. There is a "Huanbei Tea House" by the river. It is really comfortable to sit under a big tree, drink tea and chat, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
Accommodation recommendation
The homestay I stayed in this time is Luchaishanji Hanjiang Old Town. They also have stores in Yuwan Village and Hanyin Terraces. This homestay is located at the East City Gate. It is a historical old building transformed from the Ziyang County Post and Telecommunications Bureau. It is really cool! There are coffee shops, collection stores and restaurants in the homestay. Living in the old city, the whole person is very relaxed. The room is spacious, comfortable and warm. The key point is that the price-performance ratio is super high. You can live comfortably for 200 to 300 yuan a night.
Come to Ziyang on May Day, avoid the crowds, and enjoy your leisure time!
