3-Day 2-Night Yan'an Red Tourism Route

Yan'an, the cradle of China's revolution. Here, you'll find not only China's red cultural heritage but also the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor—revered as the "First Ancestor of Chinese Civilization" and the foremost of the Five Legendary Emperors. Additionally, marvel at the majestic beauty of the Mother River, the Yellow River. This three-day, two-night itinerary is perfect for seniors and children, offering a relaxed journey with endless scenic delights and fascinating experiences. Pack your bags 🧳 and get ready to go, go, go! 🏃🏃🏃 🔛 Depart from Xi'an [Taxi] and arrive at the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in two hours. Known historically as "Qiaoling," it served as a sacred site for emperors and notable figures to pay homage to the Yellow Emperor. The mountain is lush with dense forests and ancient cypress trees, boasting over 81,600 ancient cypresses, including more than 30,000 that are over a thousand years old—making it China's oldest, largest, and best-preserved ancient cypress grove. From the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor 🔜 drive two hours to Yan'an. Stay in the Baota District, where many attractions are nearby. Though it's northern China, the sun can still be intense. Evening outings are cool and pleasant 🌆—climb Baota Mountain and enjoy Yan'an's nightscape for a refreshing experience 😊. Rise early, full of energy, and embark on Yan'an's red tourism journey: Wangjiaping ➡️ Yangjialing ➡️ Zaoyuan. Immerse yourself in these sites and reflect on the hardships endured by revolutionary forebears, appreciating how hard-won today's happy life is. In the afternoon, though the sun shines brightly, the riverside of the Yellow River remains cool and inviting. Witness the Hukou Waterfall, listen to the "Yellow River Cantata," and watch the mighty river cascade down—a precious gift from nature 💝. In northern Shaanxi, don’t miss the chance to experience cave dwellings—sleep on a kang bed and savor buckwheat noodles (hele) to add authentic local flavor to your trip. Save the last day for the vibrant Nanniwan. As the song goes, this place is full of scenic beauty—dubbed the "Little Jiangnan of Northern Shaanxi" for its stunning landscapes. Don’t miss it! Vast rice fields under blue skies glow with mesmerizing green hues. The Yan'an Arsenal 🏭 and the Nanniwan Large-Scale Production Memorial Hall showcase how this once-barren land was transformed into fertile ground through the tireless efforts of past generations.
