One word less!) 🚗Road conditions: The whole journey is cement road, which is easy to drive.

No need to go to the northwest to see the colorful Danxia, an hour's departure from Xi'an, there is also beautiful Danxia scenery here, the unique terrain is like being at the "Mars base", this is the Danxia landform viewing spot located on the Huayang Ring Line in Lantian County, Xi'an. How to get there: Depart from Xi'an, directly navigate to "Huayang Ring Line Danxia Landform Viewing Spot" to arrive. Photo tips: 1. Definitely bring a drone, because the aerial view and the scenery and color seen from the ground are completely different, which is why many people say they were "deceived". 2. If you really don't have a drone, there are high points near the viewing platform (with chess pieces inserted on top), you can also take pictures by climbing up. 3. It is recommended to shoot the drone from above, you can shoot the texture and terrain of the ground. 4. It is recommended to bring people or vehicles, with a size comparison of objects, you can show the grandeur of the Danxia landform. 5. It is recommended to come here when the weather is good (with sunlight), because of the light, the reflection of the Danxia landform will look better. 6. It's also good to come here after the snow, the distant snow-capped mountains feel very Sichuan. Other suggestions: 1. There is a parking area on the viewing platform, but the charge is 5 yuan per car. If you don't want to spend money on parking, you can park at the fork in the road behind. 2. The road is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to meet cars. Remember to give way to each other when you encounter oncoming cars. 3. There is nothing to eat here, you can fill your stomach on the main street of Huaxu Town before coming. 4. Danxia has completely different colors when shot in different light, different weather, and different perspectives. If you don't have a drone, it is not recommended to make a special trip. 5. The back of the mountain road has snow, please drive slowly. Lantian Danxia

Let me share a place with a super rich history – Shuilu'an Temple🧐. 🚗Transportation Guide: If you want to drive to Shuilu'an Temple😎, start from downtown Xi'an, take the Hushan Expressway, and exit at the Lantian exit. Then, follow Provincial Road 107, and you'll arrive🤩. Isn't it quite convenient👍? If you choose public transportation🧐, you can first take subway line 1/6/9 to Fangzhicheng Station, then take the Lantian Tourist Bus, get off at the terminal station, walk to the Disease Control Center Station, and transfer to Lantian Tour Line 2 to reach the temple😉. Another way is to take the Lantian County Tourist Bus from Xi'an Bus Station to Lantian Bus Station, and then take a taxi🤗. 👀Highlights:😲 The painted clay sculptures in the Zhusheng Shuilu Hall of Shuilu'an Temple are the essence of the essence😍. There are over 3,700 Buddha statues of varying sizes👏, divided into four parts: the north and south mountain walls, the two walls of the central compartment in the hall, and the two eaves walls. The clay sculptures on the north and south walls depict the life story of Buddha Sakyamuni in the form of comic strips. It's truly amazing👍. The three main Buddha statues are also super impressive🧐. Sakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha, located in the central compartment, all sit on Sumeru pedestals and have magnificent backlights. The backlights also feature four Buddhas, eight Bodhisattvas, four Heavenly Kings, and eight Dharma protectors. It's so spectacular😎. The three Bodhisattva statues are also not to be missed😉. On the back of the central compartment are Guanyin, Manjusri Bodhisattva riding a green lion, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva riding a white elephant. Guanyin sits high on a dragon platform, which is truly imposing👍. The twenty-four guardian deities at the bottom of the mountain walls are also super cool🤩. These deities have diverse expressions and majestic appearances, showcasing traditional sculpting techniques in their facial features and body shapes. It's truly captivating😫. 📜History: Shuilu'an Temple has a long history🧐. It was founded during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty and was originally part of the Shanbei Daochang, a sub-temple of Wuzhen Temple. It was an important place for holding "Shuilu Dazai" (Water and Land Dharma Assembly)😎. During the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist temples flourished, and the temple was home to over a thousand monks. It was also the birthplace of the Pure Land School of Buddhism, which is truly remarkable👍. However, due to the wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty, many temples were destroyed, and the temple gradually fell into ruin, which is a pity😔. Shuilu'an Temple was also damaged several times later. Although it underwent two large-scale renovations in 1842 (Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty) and 1920 (the 9th year of the Republic of China), it still suffered some damage😭. However, in 1563 (the 42nd year of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty), Prince Zhu Huaijuan of the Qin Dynasty, impressed by the beautiful scenery and magnificent halls, designated Shuilu'an Temple as his mother's Buddhist hall. He then launched a large-scale renovation project, hiring skilled artisans from Shanxi to meticulously carve and paint, and recreate the wall sculptures. The project lasted five years, restoring some of the temple's former glory😉. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shuilu'an Temple received attention and was designated as a key cultural relic protection unit at the provincial level by the Shaanxi Provincial Government in 1956, and as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council in 1996. It has also undergone multiple repairs and protections, which is truly gratifying🤗. Shuilu'an Temple is definitely worth a visit. You can experience the historical culture and appreciate the exquisite sculptural art💕.

| Meet the "Shaanxi Version of Xiaoxitian". If you are here for the exquisite hanging sculptures, a one-day tour of Lantian County is definitely worth arranging! The temple has become increasingly popular due to its mysterious connection with Black Myth: Wukong.🔥 Travel Tips When traveling in winter, be sure to keep warm.

The guided tour service costs CNY 100 for 25 minutes and can accommodate up to 20 people. Explore the Water and Land Temple This temple was meticulously carved by Shanxi craftsmen during the Ming Dynasty over a period of 5 years for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. Every January, local residents flock here to pray for blessings, creating a lively atmosphere. Upon entering the temple, you will be greeted by the three main deities: Shakyamuni (wooden skeleton clay sculpture), Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha. The details of the Buddha's halo are intricate. Take a closer look at the flame pattern on P3, which is so lifelike that it seems like real flames are dancing.🔥 The hanging sculptures on both sides are even more exquisite, with a four-layer layout that gradually unfolds the legendary life of Shakyamuni from birth to nirvana. There are also two adorable highlights: in the nirvana scene, there is a localized detail of "pinching the philtrum", a rare sight elsewhere; and in the scene of 500 Arhats crossing the sea after nirvana, the sea horses, shrimps, turtles, and other sea creatures imagined by the Ming people are vividly depicted, looking cute and interesting. Don't forget to look for the most leisurely and carefree reclining bodhisattva mentioned in the video lesson, whose graceful demeanor is unforgettable.

Yuntai Mountain 🌟 Highlights: Yuntai Mountain, also known as Crescent Mountain, is located in Jiaodai Town, Lantian County, at an altitude of about 2,224 meters. Locals call it "Yunyang," which means "clouds rippling on the mountain top." In autumn, Yuntai Mountain is covered with red leaves, babbling streams, and misty rain, making it a pleasant place to visit. 📍 Address: This was originally a scenic area, but it has been abandoned. Drive to Dayangyu Village. There is a small bridge next to the scenic area gate. Cross the bridge to enter the mountain. The round trip is about 12 km, with an elevation gain of about 1,200 meters. The road to the top is steep, so be careful. We recommend wearing high-top hiking shoes. 📝 Tips: The weather on the mountain is changeable, so bring warm clothes, a raincoat, a headlamp, and other emergency supplies. Bring enough drinking water and food. There are shops in the village.

🏨 Shuilu Temple 📍Address: At the foot of Wangshun Mountain, Puhua Town, Lantian County, Xi'an. 🚉Transportation: Navigate to "Shuilu Temple". There is a parking lot and Lantian snacks at the entrance. 🌟Highlights: Lantian County is about a 50-minute drive from Xi'an. After passing through winding mountain roads, you will find a small temple at the foot of the mountain. This is the ancient Shuilu Temple. Many people know about it because it is one of the filming locations for the popular game Black Myth: Wukong. It is the most low-key and least known location! ❤Recommended: The inconspicuous main hall of Shuilu Temple is home to over 3,700 Ming Dynasty hanging sculptures of gods and Buddhas. Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are all represented here. Each sculpture is exquisite, with continuous story-like wall sculptures and rare bearded Guanyin statues! The clay sculptures here were made by Shanxi craftsmen, just like those at Xiaoxitian and Donglin Temple. The clay sculptures cover the walls, beams, and ceilings of the main hall. Every detail and story is worth seeing! However, due to years of disrepair, some clay sculptures have been damaged, revealing the bamboo and wood cores and faded colors. This is a reminder of the passage of time. You should see them while you can, as they may not be around forever! 👍Most recommended: Photography is now allowed, but some areas are fenced off. We hope these precious clay sculptures can be well protected and restored. If you visit, remember not to use flash! 📝Tips: There are also many modern clay sculptures in the Xiaowuzhen Temple opposite Shuilu Temple. However, the craftsmanship and aesthetics are vastly different from the Ming Dynasty clay sculptures at Shuilu Temple. If you have time, you can also check them out! 🍽Dining: The annual temple fair at Shuilu Temple is very lively. If you can catch the temple fair, you can enjoy a feast of carbs!
