The scenery in the scenic area is beautiful. The only regret is that it was foggy in the morning, so we didn't see the sunrise. The mountains and water are beautiful. It's a pity that we didn't have time to walk the whole Runwu Valley. I will definitely go again if I have the chance!
If you have plenty of time and energy, you can skip the ladder and just climb it. I'm a complete newbie, haha. I arrived after 5 PM and headed straight to the viewing platform for photos. The scenic area is actually quite large, so you can walk around and take a stroll. A few other little-known facts: the ladder changes direction around 8 PM and you can descend; it gets very windy and cold at the viewing platform in the evening, so wear warm clothes; flying a drone with a wide-angle lens gives you a chance to capture the sunset and moon in the same frame.

The autumn scenery here is very beautiful, and the water scenery is also beautiful. When we went there, there were few tourists in late autumn, so the photos were very good. We took the sightseeing bus to the end and got off, then walked down the wooden plank road to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Huangbaiyuan has beautiful scenery, with unique and colorful rocks. The road is basically flat and not difficult to walk on. The mountains are full of red leaves in autumn. The river in the canyon hits the boulders and rushes down the valley. In the pools with slow currents, the water is crystal clear.

The scenery is very beautiful, it's like the Little Switzerland of Shaanxi, haha. The cableway is very long, and it's basically vertical up and down at the end. There's a lot of fog and the temperature difference is big. It's recommended to wear a jacket.
Including the cableway, the total cost is about 110 per person. The cost-effectiveness is not high in Shaanxi. After getting off the cableway, you still need to hike for a while, which is quite good. It's easy and you can exercise a little bit~
The beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain is worth it, but the infrastructure of the scenic area is average, the guidance is not clear, the garbage is a little scattered (controllable), the cable car feels old and there is no way to take pictures. It's gray, and the natural scenery is nothing to say
Under special circumstances, you can be taken to the scenic area for free from the intersection, but the cable car is out of service, so you have to walk up and down, which is quite troublesome, and there is nothing new, all pine trees and steps. There is no water, no fun, and the shuttle bus in the scenic area is still 10 yuan one way, which is not a good experience

Guange Valley is divided into two scenic areas: Guanzhu Valley and E'man Valley. Leigu Mountain is located within Guanzhu Valley. The ticket is valid for two days. On the first day, we visited Guanzhu Valley and took the cable car up Leigu Mountain. On the second day, we visited E'man Valley. Overall, it was a good experience. However, the two scenic areas are 17 kilometers apart, and there is no direct bus. You can only drive or take a taxi.
Guanegou is a very beautiful place. Take the official bus of the scenic area and walk a short distance inside to see waterfalls one after another. It is very photogenic and beautiful!

The scenery was truly beautiful, but the weather wasn't great the day we went; it was quite foggy, and it even rained for a while. Hiking was tiring, but very enjoyable, and the kids were happy too.
I went in early November, and there weren't many people left. The sightseeing bus stopped at the scenic spot, we got off, took a quick look around, and then got back on the bus. After reaching the end, we started climbing the mountain. I heard it took about forty minutes to reach the top. It took me an hour and a half. It was very cold at the top because of the high altitude. The clouds would clear up for a few minutes, then disappear again after I took some photos.

First, park your car at the entrance to the attraction. There's a spacious parking lot, which is very convenient. Then, take the shuttle bus up the mountain. After circling for about 30 minutes, you'll reach the summit. There's a small museum with stunning views. Then, you'll start a fascinating walk, weaving and weaving, sometimes up slopes, sometimes into caves. It's quite interesting. After an hour or two of this, you'll reach another parking spot, take the shuttle bus back to the attraction ticket office, and then pick up your car and go home. The entire journey takes at least six hours. I personally think it's worth it. The entrance fee is a bit expensive.
Kongtong Mountain, located in Pingliang, Gansu, was a fortress on the ancient Silk Road, reaching a peak elevation of 2,123 meters. It is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, where Emperor Huangdi, the Qin Emperor, and Emperor Wu of Han sought enlightenment. Kongtong martial arts are also renowned. Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism coexist on Kongtong Mountain.
On October 17th, we witnessed the first snowfall of 2025 on Kongtong Mountain. The autumn mist and snowscape were breathtakingly beautiful. We took a scenic shuttle bus from Kongtong Ancient Town to Zhongtai, then walked to Xiangshan, visiting all the major scenic spots and taking photos. The hike took about five hours.

Zhang Liang, along with Xiao He and Han Xin, were known as the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty." Liu Bang once praised him, saying, "He devises strategies within the tent and wins battles a thousand miles away."
When the Western Han Dynasty was established, it was the day Zhang Liang "resigned from the Han" and stayed on Mount Zibai, deep in the Qinling Mountains, to cultivate Taoism and achieve immortality through fasting.
The site is not large, but it has everything you need: mountains, water, pavilions, stories, and even a small museum. It's worth a visit.
My first visit to Zhangliang Temple was on a beautiful sunny day!
The Sanqing Hall and Donghua Hall, which are close together in front, are especially photogenic. The golden ginkgo leaves fluttering down outside created a wonderful atmosphere!
Furthermore, climbing to a higher vantage point and looking out over the colorful forests covering the mountains offers a unique and enriching experience.

One of the four grottoes, the history and culture are very good! It's just that the flow of people in the summer is a bit large, the conditions of the grotto itself are a bit tired (long queue time). It takes two or three hours to really visit the play.
The Maijishan Grottoes are really shocking! From afar, the solitary peak rises up, shaped like a stack of wheat. Walking into the grottoes, the Buddha statues are carved vividly, and the colors of the murals are still bright and moving after years. Every detail is full of the wisdom and hard work of ancient craftsmen. Coming here is like traveling through time and space, and having an artistic dialogue with the ancients, which is very rewarding.

The scenery was so beautiful that we kept taking photos and lost track of time. Around 6 pm, we got off at the "Daydream Cinema," but there were no more buses or minibuses, and no staff members were around. No one had reminded us of the last shuttle bus time, so the two of us had to walk to the visitor center, about 4.5 kilometers away. The wind was strong, the temperature was -1.5 degrees Celsius, and it got dark quickly. The further we walked, the more scared we became. We tried calling the scenic area, but no one answered. Finally, we called 110 (the police emergency number) and asked them to contact the scenic area staff. After hanging up, a Li Auto electric scooter passed by, and the driver stopped and readily gave us a ride to the parking lot. We chatted along the way, and the driver said he was from the Space Capsule Hotel. His surname was Wang; he was probably the owner or manager. We were extremely grateful to him and will definitely stay there again next time! The first photo was taken on the way to the visitor center.
Key viewing platforms: Nine-Colored Danxia (360° panoramic view of the colorful hills, best spot for drone aerial photography), Danxia Peak Scenic View (climb the 2550-meter Danxia boardwalk to the highest point and experience the awe-inspiring "mountains like sea waves and rocks like whales"), and Silk Road Sunset (capture the epic scene of "the setting sun over the long river" at dusk, with Danxia and the Yellow River in the same frame).

The main gate of the scenic area is quite far from the core area, the pedestrian path is surrounded by shops, and the exit leads to a commercial street where goods such as Buddhist beads are overpriced. In addition, the scenic area is large, and the round trip from the gate to the old temple is several kilometers, which may be tiring for those with poor physical fitness.
Famen Temple, located in Famen Town, Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province, was first built during the reign of Emperor Huanling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is renowned for enshrining the true relics of Buddha Shakyamuni and has long been hailed as the "Ancestor of Pagodas and Temples in Guanzhong." Originally named Ashoka Temple, it was renamed Chengshi Daocheng during the Sui Dynasty, and finally officially designated Famen Temple by imperial decree of Emperor Gaozu of Tang. The Famen Cultural Scenic Area is built around the ancient Famen Temple. Its core area comprises the Mountain Gate Square, Buddha Light Avenue, Famen Temple itself, the He Shi Relic Pagoda, the Famen Temple Museum, and numerous art Buddha statues and garden sculptures, comprehensively showcasing the achievements of Buddhist culture in philosophy, politics, and art, aiming to highlight the splendid history and culture of the Chinese nation. Expansion of the scenic area began in March 2007. It officially opened to the public on May 9, 2009. On October 11, 2014, the Famen Temple Buddhist Cultural Scenic Area in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, was awarded the title of National AAAAA-level Tourist Scenic Area after rigorous review by the National Tourism Scenic Area Quality Rating Committee. It has become the sixth national AAAAA-level tourist attraction in Shaanxi Province.
