If you want to know the modernity of China, you can go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities, but if you want to know the history of China or the Chinese nation, you have to come to Shaanxi, because Shaanxi is the root of our Chinese nation! Regarding history, we don't talk about the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, not to mention the Great Wall. A single Huangdi Mausoleum can make Chinese people around the world punch in. The Huangdi Mausoleum is the ancestor of the Chinese nation. Although there are many Huangdi Mausoleums in China, only the Huangdi Mausoleum in Shaanxi is recognized as the first mausoleum in the world.

When it comes to landscape, let's talk about Hukou Waterfall first. The Yellow River is the birthplace of Chinese national culture and our mother river, and the most spectacular part of this river is Hukou Waterfall, which runs all the way along the east of Shaanxi from Yulin Shenmu in northern Shaanxi to Tongguan in southern Weinan. It can be said that it runs through the whole Shaanxi Province! The "No.1 Highway" in China today was built along the west bank of the Yellow River, with a total length of 828.5 kilometers. It is also called the Highway along the Yellow River.

This road was built for the purpose of developing economy and tourism. The whole road directly connects the mineral resources and agricultural products in northern Shaanxi with developed cities such as Xi 'an. For tourists, we can better drive along the journey to the south of the Yellow River and enjoy the scenery of the Yellow River. Moreover, it also connects more than 51 scenic spots in the province in series, so that you can truly understand Shaanxi and the origin and development history of the Chinese nation.

Along the Yellow Highway, it starts from Qiangtou Township, Fugu County, Yulin City in the north, and ends at huayin city Huashan Lotus Tower in the south, with a total length of 828.5 kilometers, which is mainly divided into four sections, namely, Yulin section, Yan 'an section, Hancheng section and Weinan section, with a total length of 415 kilometers, Yan 'an section of 241 kilometers, Hancheng section of 74.4 kilometers and Weinan section of 111 kilometers (including Hancheng Zhichuan to Hancunhe)

Yulin section

The highway along the Yellow River in Yulin section passes through Fugu, Shenmu, Jiaxian, Wubao, Suide and Qingjian in the north, with a total length of 415 kilometers. This section is basically built along the west bank of the Yellow River, and it is also the longest section along the Yellow River. Because it is on the loess plateau, it is also the most difficult to build. This section of highway connects Shenfu, Yujia and Qingyin, and communicates with G336, G338, G337, G339, G317 and G341 * *.

Yan' an section

Yan' an section along the Yellow River runs from Fanjiawa in Yanchuan County through Yanchuan, and Yichuan finally ends at Tongzuling in Yichuan County, with a total length of 241 kilometers, connecting two expressways, two national and provincial trunk highways and 13 county and township highways in the middle, and passing through Fusi Bay of the Yellow River. The scenery is particularly spectacular.

Hancheng section

The total length of the highway along the Yellow River in Hancheng is 74.4 kilometers. Construction started in September 2115, starting from Yichuan, Yan 'an in the north, and then the highway from S211 Xianghan Bridge to Hanyijie in the south, with a total length of 14.154 kilometers, 2 tunnels, a total length of 771 meters and 22 bridges, with a total length of 2,727 meters and a pavement width of 12 meters. Longmen Highway Phase I, 118 national highway Zhubei to Zhichuan section, S211 Zhichuan to Hanhejie section. S211 Heyangjie to Zhichuan section, with a total length of 6.26 kilometers and a road width of 11 meters.

Weinan section

The main road sections are Yichuan to Hancheng Zhichuan, Hancheng Zhichuan to Dali Xinjian Village (16.2km from Hancheng Zhichuan to Heyang Donglei, 49km from Heyang Donglei to Dali Xinjian Village), 13.3km from Dali Xinjian Village to Dali Lehe Village, 12km from Xianghan Bridge to Zhubei, and 9km from Weihe Bridge to Huashan.

If you know the history of the Qin Dynasty, you will be familiar with these two people. If you don't know, you can look at the Myth filmed by Hugh.

Next to Fushu Tomb, there is a Suidehan stone relief exhibition hall. Entering the exhibition hall is like entering an ancient time tunnel, which attracts a large number of cultural relics and archaeologists to visit here every year.

Day 6: Suide-Guojiagou-Wubao-Jiaxian

Guojiagou

Guojiagou is the place where Ordinary World was filmed, so many people went to northern Shaanxi just for it. If you have read the book "Ordinary World", then you will definitely yearn for this place. The whole village is the cultural style of northern Shaanxi, which is very characteristic of northern Shaanxi.

Day 7: Jiaxian-Fugu

Baiyun Mountain

Baiyun Mountain is located on the bank of the Yellow River 5 kilometers south of Jiaxian County, northern Shaanxi Province. Because there is a Baiyun Temple on the mountain, it is called Baiyun Mountain, and there is a wonder of the Yellow River Canyon at the foot of the mountain.

At present, many cultural products such as architecture, murals, calligraphy, sculpture and music have been preserved.

Day 8: Fugu-Wall-Shenmu-Yulin

Erlang Mountain

Erlang Mountain is a scenic spot of Shenmu, which belongs to mountaineering, but the mountain is really not very high, and the scenic spot is very long. You can always walk along the river and stand on the mountain overlooking the whole Shenmu city. Tourism in scenic spots consumes a lot of energy. I suggest you bring your own dry food and then go to play. Last time I went there, I found that the scenic spot was expanded, so it takes about 2-4 hours to walk back and forth, which is very suitable for taking pictures, and some sections inside are still relatively dangerous.

Admission: free of charge

Address: Hongshixia, No.214 Provincial Road, Shenmu City, Yulin City

Hongshixia is a good place to take photos. There are many stone carving arts in it, which is actually a Buddhist holy place. Most Buddha statues and Buddha caves are located on a cliff, and a plank road has been artificially carved on the cliff. Visitors can visit the caves on the rock wall through the plank road.

Tickets: 31 yuan

Address: Beiyuemiao Village, Yuyang Town, Yuyang District, Yulin City

Tip: There is also a Zhenbeitai and an ancient street in Yulin City, but personally it is not worth going. Zhenbeitai is relatively small, and the scenic spot is charged. There are basically no people inside, and 31-61 minutes is enough. The ancient street is next to the second street. There are no tourists, all of them are locals, and sometimes there are students, so the business is average.

Day 9: Yulin-Shenmu-Hengshan

Hongjiannao

This is a provincial-level tourist attraction in Shaanxi, located in the hinterland of Dongsheng coalfield in the northwest of Shenmu City. The scenic spot is triangular, with a width of 11 kilometers from east to west, a length of 12 kilometers from north to south and a water area of 67 square kilometers.

The construction history of Tongwancheng was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when it was the capital of Daxia State built by Helian Bobo, a Xiongnu aristocrat. Later, Emperor Tuoba Tao of the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north and conquered Tongwancheng. Because the walls here are all white, it is also called Baicheng Zi by local people. In 1996, Tongwan City was designated as a key cultural relic protection unit.
