Shaanxi is rich in tourism resources, but "marketing promotion" has always been average. In addition to Xi'an, there are actually many places worth visiting in the surrounding area. Three hours 'drive from Xi'an, there is an underestimated thousand-year-old city. It is clearly one of the six most completely preserved ancient cities of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the country, but it is often ignored by tourists. If you have the opportunity, I recommend you to come here for a walk. There are many historic sites and delicious food everywhere. The most important thing is that most of the attractions here are free.
It is-the ancient city of Hancheng.
Hancheng is located in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province, facing the two counties of Hejin and Wanrong in Shanxi Province across the Yellow River. When traveling to Hancheng, the transportation is very convenient. Self-driving tours and buses are both about 3 hours away. Last year, the "green bullet train" was newly opened, and it takes only 2 hours to get there from Xi'an Railway Station.
Hancheng has a long history. It has a history of more than 1400 years since its establishment in 598, the 18th year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. After thousands of years, today's ancient city of Hancheng is one of the six most completely preserved ancient cities of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the country. The ancient city is thousands of meters long from north to south and more than 800 meters wide from east to west. Old streets and old alleys are crisscrossed, and cultural relics can be seen everywhere. The praise of "Hometown of Literature and History" is still in the same line and can be traced in this ancient city.
There are many places to visit and visit in the ancient city. Come here to visit and see the exquisite ancient buildings of the Yuan Dynasty; second, see the original fireworks of the ancient city; and third, try the unique Hancheng cuisine.
Hancheng is the place in Shaanxi that has preserved the most ancient buildings of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was an extremely short era, and not many ancient buildings have been preserved. There are many ancient Yuan Dynasty buildings in Hancheng, such as the Confucian Temple Dacheng Hall, Jiulang Temple, and Puzhao Temple outside the ancient city, which are all typical representatives of Yuan Dynasty buildings.
In addition to the Yuan Dynasty buildings, cultural attractions such as the Confucian Temple, Dongying Temple and City God Temple, Jiulang Temple, the place where "The Orphan of Zhao" took place, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion in the ancient city are all worth visiting. Except for the Confucian Temple, which collects tickets, all attractions in the ancient city are open for free.
Visiting the ancient city, not only to see attractions, history, but also to watch fireworks. In front of many ancient cities that have been commercialized in China, the ancient city of Hancheng is truly Taiyuan. Walking in the streets and alleys of the ancient city, you can see old buildings with traces of time on both sides of the street. You can see old people sitting in front of their homes basking in the sun and smoking dry cigarettes... This most authentic old city has a fireworks smell that commercial attractions do not have.
There is a food street in the ancient city. Every household has a clearly priced price and sells authentic Hancheng cuisine. Mutton carrot, mutton jelly, and pepper yogurt are the specialties here. If you come to Hancheng, you might as well try it.
Hancheng is about 200 kilometers away from Xi'an. The whole self-driving tour is high-speed and you can only navigate directly. Free travel is also relatively convenient. You can take a bus at Xi'an Bus Station and Xi'an Textile City Bus Station for about 3 hours; you can also take a green bullet train at Xi'an Railway Station for 2 hours. There are no tickets for the ancient city of Hancheng. Except for the Confucian Temple, which requires separate tickets, all attractions in the ancient city are open for free.
In addition to the ancient city of Hancheng, there are also many scenic spots around Hancheng. Famous places such as Sima Qian's Tomb and Dangjia Village are worth a special visit. You can choose based on your travel time.
