Things to do in Ningqiang

Qingmuchuan Ancient Town is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Sichuan and Gansu provinces. The ancient buildings are well preserved.

You must also stroll along Huilongchang Old Street and climb Huilong Pavilion to overlook the entire ancient town.

The scenic area boasts an exceptionally high forest coverage rate. The Jingang Gorge features waterfalls every three steps and pools every five, and the spectacular geological formations are breathtaking. Visitors can also experience the Nuo art performance, an intangible cultural heritage of the Qiang ethnic group. With its diverse scenery in each season, it is a hidden gem that combines a natural oxygen bar with cultural experiences.

Wei's Residence in Qingmuchuan Ancient Town: It is the residence of the protagonist He Futang (the prototype Wei Futang) in the TV series "A Generation of Heroes".

The courtyard is well preserved.

Jiuzhaigou is a fairyland left behind by the heavens on earth. It is so beautiful that it makes you want to cry. The Pearl Shoal Waterfall, the filming location of the 1986 TV series Journey to the West, is even more unforgettable. Its water either cascades down in thousands of strands with a graceful posture that makes people linger, or it gallops like ten thousand horses with a huge momentum that makes people feel awe. "After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you will not see any water again." It is indeed well-deserved!

Xi'an City Wall, as the best-preserved ancient city wall in China, truly lives up to its reputation! Climbing the wall from the main gate—the South Gate (Yongning Gate)—offers a panoramic view of the entire city wall. Looking north, you can see the Bell Tower; to the south, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda; and the east and west walls stretch straight out. Whether strolling along it or cycling around, it's a must-see in Xi'an. It would be even better if more rest areas were added along the way, such as cafes and comfortable chairs.

The scenic area is quite large, with mountains and water, and it's very pleasant to look at. However, it must be even more beautiful in autumn when the leaves turn red. The road is not easy to walk; it took me two hours to get there via the mountain path, and there's no other way to go. There weren't too many people, and there are guesthouses at the foot of the mountain.

Take a stroll through the Tang Dynasty Never-Sleeping City on a pleasant autumn evening. The evening breeze is cool, the lights are dazzling, and the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is palpable.

Immersed in this world of lights, feeling the warmth of everyday life and ancient charm, this is what small satisfactions in ordinary days are all about. Chang'an's autumn nights are as bright as ever.
