I was attracted by all kinds of highly saturated beautiful pictures on the Internet, and thought that there was such a beautiful place near Xi'an. If I didn’t go to see it now, when would I go? So I came this weekend. After I went there, I felt a little disappointed overall. I came here for the ice and snow, but the entire ice and snow area basically showed signs of human intervention. The spectacular icefall was created by spraying water on ropes, the Tiffany blue bubble ice surface was created by dyeing, and the large area of ​​ice on the iceboat was made by using nets to solidify the ice. There is basically nothing natural here, it all depends on technology and hard work. In addition, the weather has been hot recently, and a lot of ice has melted, so we can't climb onto the ice on the lake. The spectacular and interesting scene is much less. Although the photos taken on site are not bad, they are still far behind the photos on the Internet (Figures 11 and 12 are the original photos, you can compare them with 1 and 2). The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. If you come here to see the natural scenery, it is not recommended. At least the temperature is relatively high at this stage, and you will be disappointed if you come here.

🏔️ Shaohuashan is located in Liujihe Village, Shaohua Township, Shaanxi Province, about 5 km southeast of the county seat. It is connected to Xiaofuyu in the east and Baishiyu in the west. The main peak is 1,664.4 m above sea level. It is called "Hua" because it is connected to the peaks of Mount Hua and is opposite to it, but it is lower than Mount Hua, so it is called Shaohuashan, also known as Xiaohuashan. Shaohuashan is not only a famous Taoist mountain in China, but also the sister mountain of Mount Hua, and is known as "Erhua" together with Mount Hua. Many poets and writers have written poems and articles about Shaohuashan. Wang Botang, a hero of the Sui Dynasty, gathered here, and many stories of Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon in the famous novel "Water Margin", took place in Shaohuashan.

Recently, Xi'an has entered sauna mode, with air conditioning and watermelons becoming standard. But the breeze and beautiful scenery in the mountains are more desirable. This week we went to Shaohua Mountain, which is an hour's drive from Xi'an. Compared to the steepness of Huashan, I prefer the calm and tranquil temperament of Shaohua Mountain. The entire climb is relatively easy, and you can choose the cable car 🚡/ shuttle bus 🚗. ▫️ Playing in Shimen Gorge ▫️ Fun watermelon eating contest ▫️ Ascending Shaohua Mountain by cableway ▫️ Excellent view at Canglong Yunhai Square ▫️ Thrilling Panlong Plank Road ▫️ Walking in the clouds at Longshou Pavilion After reaching the top, we found the blue sky and white clouds within reach, with a panoramic view of the rolling mountains. The 7th Alpine Starry Sky Camping Festival is being held at the top. With the starry sky as the curtain and tents as the camp, enjoy the sunset and starry sky 🌃. The atmosphere at the live music concert 🎼 and open-air movie 🎞️ is fantastic. I really like this pure and refreshing feeling of being in nature. Shaohua Mountain is a treasure trove for escaping the summer heat. I stand by Shaohua Mountain for this wave!

Recently, there has been a lot of news about Shaohua Mountain being free. My teammates and I took the kids there on Saturday, and I just want to say three words: “Think twice.” 🎫Tickets Recently, Shaanxi residents can get free tickets to scenic spots with their ID cards🆓 The round trip bus to the scenic area costs 30 yuan (if you don't buy it, you need to walk 10 km) It costs 100 yuan to take the cable car to reach the top of the mountain. 🚙Two tour routes: 1️⃣ Qianlong Temple Scenic Area is mainly mountain climbing + glass plank road. Although the mountain climbing is not high, it is not a completely flat road and you have to take stairs. The scenery of the winding mountain trail is nice, but you should consider carefully if you bring children (strollers, children who don't want to walk) or the elderly (who are not suitable for climbing stairs)❗️ 2️⃣Shimenxia Scenic Area is a good place to play in the water and cool off. It is recommended to bring a pair of slippers and water play tools. ⛰️Scenic spot process 1. You need to keep your ticket safe throughout the entire journey, as you need to scan the QR code every time you board the bus. After entering, walk 100 meters and take the scenic bus to the Qianlong Temple scenic area first. 2. Queue up to take the cable car. The mountain scenery is nice. The stair trails and glass plank road are very photogenic. It is also good to take pictures in the cable car. 3. After getting off the cable car to the glass plank road, it is recommended that the elderly and those with children take the car (15 yuan one-way). Although the distance is not too long, it takes about 20 minutes to walk by yourself. 4. There are actually quite a lot of steps on the glass plank road and the internet-famous staircase. People with weak legs and feet should be careful and do what they can! There is an observation deck upstairs, and you can return the same way after viewing. 5. For those who want to play both lines, be sure to come early. There will be a lot of people on weekends, and the queues for the cable car will make you doubt your life. Please plan your time reasonably. ❌Comments and suggestions 1. Parking is difficult. The parking fee in the scenic area is 10 yuan. They say there are guides, but when you get in, no one cares and you can park anywhere you like. 2. The sanitation in the scenic area is too poor, with garbage everywhere. The restroom is too dirty, even dirtier than the public restrooms outside. It is hard to imagine that this is the restroom in a 4A scenic area. Next to the observation deck, the garbage left by tourists after consumption is really an eyesore. 3. To queue for the cable car, you have to queue outside and then go up a very high step to continue queuing, and then you have to queue inside again. The same thing happened when we came back from the tour and took the cable car. We had to queue up again and do it all over again. It was really speechless. Can't we limit the number of people? There are limited cable car tickets every day, or there are too many tourists, so the loudspeaker suggests that tourists go to the next attraction first. Or there may be a reminder of the waiting time, and tourists can also arrange their own itinerary. This puts people in an endless queue loop and provides a poor experience. Sisters who want to come 👭, it will be better to come earlier during off-peak hours or during the week. I wish you a happy trip! Shaanxi is my hometown The place where I was born and raised May she be beautiful, rich and popular. May she be clean, green and loved by people Let’s work together to build a green and beautiful hometown Let’s work together to create a bright business card for Shaanxi tourism

As a senior enthusiast of mountain climbing, I continue to hike on weekends - Shaohuashan National Forest Park! ! ! The transportation is very convenient. We drove by ourselves and arrived in 1.5 hours. For those who like to climb mountains and want to find a cool place to escape the summer heat, I strongly recommend you to come here. It is divided into 2 scenic spots: Shimenxia and Qianlong Temple. 【Shimenxia Scenic Area】 My favorite is the Shimenxia Scenic Area, which has relatively few steps and is all gentle gravel roads. There are mountains and water, you can play while hiking. It is recommended that you bring a pair of slippers so that you can play water and have water fights. The water is super clean and clear. There are also tadpoles and small fish 🐟 that can be caught, which is very suitable for bringing children 👶 to play. 【Qianlong Temple Scenic Area】 You can take the cable car up the mountain⛰️. I highly recommend the glass plank road. The scenery on the plank road is super beautiful and the field of vision is very wide. When you look up, you can see the sea of ​​clouds☁️. The cartoon clouds are so healing, and the photos 🤳 are very good! ! ! Qianlong Temple and Longshou Pavilion are next to each other, so you can check in and take photos 📷～ Tips: ✔️Babies who like to play in the water should bring a pair of slippers ✔️Insect repellent (insects are unavoidable in summer) ✔️Bring enough water and snacks
