The annual summer vacation is another day for family outings. As the saying goes, parents are not far away. But during the lifetime of parents, it is also a great pleasure in life to accompany parents and children to travel together and let them see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland with their own eyes. As for this year's destination, I chose Xi'an, the ancient capital of our country for thousands of years, and Yan'an, the red holy land of Yan'an, which has an important position in the history of New China.
D1 11/8 Shenzhen 06:25-- Xi'an Xianyang Airport T1 9:05-- Bell and Drum Tower-- Huimin Street
In order to save some money on air tickets, I had to choose the early flight of Spring Airlines. Fortunately, Ctrip’s pick-up and drop-off service has commercial vehicles as an option, which saved my family of five from worrying about how to get on the bus. Woke up at four o'clock to take a shower, the master who sent the plane was waiting downstairs, praise. Arrive at Xianyang Airport on time, the pick-up master will send us to the pre-booked residence, after depositing Li Tuo at the owner of the residence, take Line 2 and go straight to Bell Tower Station.
Go to the scenic spot: Bell and Drum Tower Square
Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower Square, also known as Shangshusheng Square, is located at the intersection of East, West, South, North and Sitiao Streets, with an area of 60,000 square meters, second only to Beijing's Tiananmen Square. On the east side of the square is the Bell Tower with a history of more than 600 years, and on the west side is the nationally famous Drum Tower. The business card buildings of the trip to Xi'an - Bell Tower, Drum Tower. The Bell and Drum Towers are all Ming Dynasty buildings with pure wooden structures. Especially in the bell tower, you will not find a nail if you go upstairs and downstairs. And there will be some ancient cultural performances according to the time. On the top floor of the bell tower, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Sitiao Street in Xi'an City, and it is an excellent place to take pictures. It was already noon when we came down from the bell tower, so we chose to eat biangbiang noodles at Huimin Street.
Go to attractions: Muslim Street
Huimin Street is not just a street, it is a collective name for many streets in the Muslim gathering area in the center of Xi'an, consisting of Beiyuanmen, Beiguangji Street, Xiyangshi, Dapiyuan and other streets. This is the concentration of Xi'an snacks. As a Muslim area with a history of hundreds of years, you can still feel a strong Muslim atmosphere here.
After lunch, I couldn't bear the hustle and bustle of Huimin Street, so I immediately went to the Bell Tower to visit the summer heat. The weather in Xi'an in August reached 35 degrees, and the sun was shining like an oven. There is a repertoire of chime bells in the Drum Tower, and a group of actors in Tang Dynasty costumes perform ancient music: 1. Folk music "The Song of Climbing the Tower" (including dances) 2. Chang'an ancient music "Brother Gold Cup" 3. Famous song "Spring River Moonlight Night" 4. Chang'an Ancient music "Shaking Door Bolt" 5. Ancient song "Flying Apsaras" (including dance) 6. Chime solo "Jasmine" 7. Ancient song "Da Deng Temple" 8. "Qinqiang Qupai" Each performance has four scrolling performances, and the performance time is 10 -15 minutes, eight games a day, time: 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 14:30, 15:30, 16:30, 17:30
The route for my visit to the ancient city wall is on the South Gate (Yongding Gate) and under the West Gate. The way to play is on foot. The section from the south gate to the west gate of the city wall can best reflect the strong humanistic color unique to the ancient capital. Shuncheng Lane along the city wall still retains the architectural charm of the ancient city. Maybe you come across a small courtyard by chance, which is a famous family. The ancient city wall circled the old city of Xi'an for a week, nearly 14 kilometers. We also walked nearly four kilometers from the south gate to the west gate.
As soon as I entered the city wall, I encountered an extremely rare rain, which instantly cooled the hot ancient city a lot. Looks like good luck on this trip.
While sheltering from the rain in the South Gate Tower, I ran into Yingying's math teacher.
After the rain stopped, we walked all the way to the west gate along the ancient city wall. At this time, there were few tourists on the city wall, and there were no noisy crowds, so it looked extraordinarily clean.
Visit the ancient city wall exhibition hall in the middle of the south gate and the west gate city wall. It is a special taste to be in the modern age and to travel the long river of history.

D2 12/8 Shaanxi Expo - Big Wild Goose Pagoda, pick up at 7:30 p.m.
The cultural relics in the Shaanxi History Museum are not only numerous in number and variety, but also of high grade and value. Among them, the bronzes of the Western Zhou Dynasty are exquisite, the pottery figurines of the past dynasties are various, the gold and silver wares of the Tang Dynasty are well-known in China, and the murals of Tang tombs are unparalleled in the world. It can be described as a dazzling array of boutiques.
Fortunately, the tickets for a family of young and old have been reserved in advance on the official website, otherwise, you will not be able to open your eyes. Dear officials, if you bring the elderly, you must reserve the tickets for the elderly together, otherwise you may not be able to collect the tickets There will be a long queue at the window, and the crowd outside the gate will spend three to four hours and may not be able to get what they want.
After we went in, we wanted to get the electronic guide, but we had to queue for two hours before it was our turn. We had to go first to the tour guide for a tour. After turning around, we found that there was no one in line for the electronic guide, so we got the guide again. The device looked at it again slowly from beginning to end.
When you come out of the museum, turn left to the Fountain Square and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda where Tang Sanzang sits in meditation. After walking about three kilometers, you will arrive at the entrance gate of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. There are also tour buses at the Fountain Square to get to the gate.

D3 13/8 Xi'an--Lintong-Huayin City
In the morning, go to the scenic spot: Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Qin Shihuang
The terracotta warriors and horses are located about 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. More than a thousand soldier pottery figurines have been unearthed here, each with a different expression and posture. Standing in front of the huge underground army formation, you will feel the extraordinary momentum of the first emperor two thousand years ago to sweep down the six kingdoms and unify the world. At the entrance of the terracotta warriors and horses, a guide in the scenic spot was invited. The cost of the explanation is 100 yuan for four people.
Ten years later, I revisited the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Qinhuang Mausoleum, the eighth wonder of the world. It seems that nothing has changed, except that there is an additional store where you can pose for a photo, and the fee is 10 yuan.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses came out to eat lunch at the Weijia Liangpi next to the parking lot, I saw someone guiding Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum to be the mausoleum of the first emperor Yingzheng (259-210 BC) in Chinese history, located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province It is located at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, 5 kilometers east of Lintong District.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is divided into two parts: the cemetery area and the burial area. The cemetery covers an area of nearly 8 square kilometers. The mausoleum is approximately square, with a flat top and a slightly stepped waist. It is 76 meters high, 345 meters long from east to west, and 350 meters wide from north to south, covering an area of 120,750 square meters. The cemetery is centered on the sealed mound, surrounded by numerous funerals. We walked around along the guidelines, and all the burial pit sites are not open, so it is not recommended for everyone to go there. The tour bus in the park is just going around the park road.
It was past five o'clock when Qinshihuang's Mausoleum came out, and it was already too late to go to Huaqing Pool, so we drove to Huashan.
D4 14/8 Huashan one-day tour - meeting friends in Yuncheng, Shaanxi
Huashan is one of the three most important tourist routes in Xi'an. Compared with the large number of cultural relics and historic sites on the other two routes, you need to listen to the explanation to play. Huashan Mountain can feel the grandeur and steepness of the famous mountain only with your eyes and physical strength. This time, I also really realized that it is very disadvantageous to visit Huashan without extraordinary physical strength.
(Important points of Huashan Tour) According to most of the travel notes and strategy suggestions, we took the Xifeng Cableway to the top of Xifeng Mountain, played all the way downstream, and returned to the North Peak Cableway. After buying the ticket and arriving at the tour station, I found that the tourists going to Xifeng had already lined up a long queue at the tour station. It is estimated that it would take two hours to get on the tour bus and go to the Xifeng Cableway Station, but there were very few people going to the North Peak. , there is basically no need to line up, and there is no round-trip ticket when buying tickets, so I can only look at the crowd and sigh.
So I still suggest that everyone, when visiting Huashan in the future, see if you can buy the round-trip tickets for the Dongxifeng two-way cableway and the tour bus when buying tickets. After entering the venue, there are fewer people and go there.
Start from the customer service center, then take the cableway to the top of the West Peak, it is almost noon.
The famous Huashan scenic spot, the kite turned over, some tourists are quite bold
The danger of Huashan is that there is no place in the world to contend for. We went up the mountain from the West Peak cableway and went all the way down to the North Peak. The scenery along the way was beautiful. However, at the intersection of Huashan Mountain, the management staff told us that tourists who went down from the North Peak Cableway Station had to queue for about four hours before entering. Station, under the coercion and lure of an appointment with my boss, who has not seen my best friend for ten years in Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, which is 90 kilometers away, to get together at night, I led the old man to walk through the place where the People’s Liberation Army attacked bandits back then. The road conditions are mostly steep and straight cliffs, and you need to use your hands and feet together. It took two and a half hours. Dad changed from a light step to a crooked step, and walked out of Huashan with both hands on the rope, so that he came down to Yan'an and the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. The itinerary was quite twists and turns, and it was not until Guo Liang Village that it got better.
D5 15/8 Yuncheng Yongji City--Hukou Waterfall--Yan'an
The boss has a best friend whom he has not seen for ten years. After making a travel plan, the two of them chatted on WeChat. Huashan is only 90 kilometers away from her home. When going from Huashan to Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River in Shanxi, they passed near her home. , I want the boss to take time to go to her house to get together.
In the border area of Hukou Waterfall in Shanxi, there are only steep stone walls on both sides, the river mouth is as narrow as Hukou, and the water surface of the upper Yellow River is wide. So far, it pours and roars from the cliff more than 20 meters high, forming a magnificent landscape of "thousands of miles of the Yellow River harvested in a pot". The stagnant and overflowing outflow here forms a long yellow waterfall belt. The roaring waterfall carries mud water and rushes towards the tourists who have gone too far, making us almost become clay figurines with a look of embarrassment.
Pagoda Mountain is the most important symbol of Yan'an, the Holy Land of Revolution. Chinese and foreign guests all climb the mountain and jump to see the whole picture of the Holy Land. Everyone agrees: "Only when you climb Pagoda Mountain can you really arrive in Yan'an."

The teacher's haggis is a special snack in Yan'an. It is an old shop and the only snack shop in Yan'an City that has been specially approved by Shaanxi Province as an intangible cultural heritage honorary snack shop. Haggis is a special snack in northern Shaanxi. It is made by mixing sheep head meat, sheep tripe, sheep liver, sheep heart, sheep brain, sheep blood and other raw materials. The production of haggis is very particular about "three ingredients", "three soups" and "three flavors". And the leg of lamb here is so cooked that it is so mature that people can't stop eating it. I ate several in a row. You can imagine the way the old man eats.

Next to the embankment at the foot of Pagoda Mountain, there will be a light show of "Ode to Yan'an" every Wednesday to Sunday at 8:30 p.m., which is worth visiting.
"Ode to Yan'an" is divided into three parts: "Prologue", "Great Master" and "Ode to Yan'an". It is currently the largest multimedia landscape light show with the largest projection area in China. The performance takes the mountain cliffs on the west side of the Pagoda Mountain and the Yan'an Pagoda (Lingshan Temple Pagoda) as the carrier, with the riverside landscape lights of Yanhe River and Nanchuan River, and the mountain landscape lights of Baota Mountain, Qingliang Mountain, and Fenghuang Mountain as the auxiliary performance.
Through multimedia technology, sound and light are integrated, and the cultural characteristics of Yan'an and northern Shaanxi are depicted with emotion and scenery, presenting the magnificent historical picture of the 25,000-mile Long March, and reviewing the 13-year struggle story of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an and northern Shaanxi. Inspired by the "Yan'an Spirit", today's China has infinite pride in leaping forward towards the "Chinese Dream" and the "Two Centenary" goals.
This time in Yan'an, I specially booked a cave hotel to experience the feeling of a cave.
D7 17/8 Yan'an - Yellow Emperor Mausoleum - Xi'an
Xuanyuan Temple, also known as the Yellow Emperor Temple, was first built in the Han Dynasty. It is one of the main attractions in the "No. 1 Mausoleum in the World" - the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and it is also the main place to worship the Yellow Emperor.
Pay respects to the ancestor of the Chinese nation, see "the Yellow Emperor planted the cypress tree", according to legend, it was planted by the Yellow Emperor himself, more than 5,000 years ago, it is the oldest cypress tree in the world.

When passing through Xianyang on the expressway, I caught a glimpse of the Weihe River, and immediately asked the boss to check the distance to the well-known allusion where the Weihe River is clearly separated, and found that it was only 20 kilometers away from us. Immediately changed the driving route, and found another beautiful scenery on the road, the Bahe River Bridge car tour of Wetland Park, this is the harvest of self-driving.
"Differentiation between Wei and Wei" The Wei River is the largest tributary of the Yellow River, originating in Gansu and entering the Yellow River through Shaanxi; the Jing River is a tributary of the Wei River, originating in Ningxia. The two rivers meet at Chuanzhang Village, Gaoling County, Xi'an City. The well-known idiom "Jing and Wei is clearly defined" originated from the confluence of the Jing and Wei rivers. It refers to the place where Jingshui and Weishui meet, clear and turbid, and the boundary is clear and not mixed. It is used as a metaphor for clear boundaries.
From the point of view of the area it flows through, the Wei River on the left of the picture flows from Wushu Mountain in Gansu, through Shaanxi to the Yellow River, and flows through the Guanzhong Plain and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan; while the Jing River on the right of the picture flows through the loess all the way The plateau is an area with serious soil erosion. Looking into the distance at this point, you can also see that the Wei River on the left is clearer.
D8 18/8 07:52 open G652 Xi'an North - Xinxiang East - Guoliang Village
When planning the itinerary, I returned due to the high-speed rail, and checked the Internet celebrity attraction that happened to pass through Guoliang Village, Xinxiang City, Henan Province along the way.
Unable to withstand the temptation of the crazy bombing by the Internet trolls, he hit it off with the boss and immediately decided to find a way to go.
Guoliangdong Hanging Wall Highway, also known as Guoliang Tunnel and Guoliang Village Cliff Corridor, is a corridor passage across the cliff. It was built by 13 villagers of Guoliang Village on February 2nd of the lunar calendar in 1972 under the leadership of the village party secretary. After five years of construction, Houhui County Education Bureau sent 250 teachers to bring their own food support. It was completed and opened to traffic on May 1, 1977. It is 1250 meters long, 6 meters wide and 4 meters high. 30,000 workers were invested, 24,000 cubic meters of gravel were cleaned up, 12 tons of steel drills were consumed, and 2,000 hammers were consumed. Guoliang Village invested 80,000 yuan, and in 2001 invested another 400,000 yuan for expansion.
Departed from Xi'an North Station early in the morning and arrived at Xinxiang North Station after ten o'clock. This time, because foreign vehicles could not drive into the village, I had to give up the idea of renting a car and take a shuttle bus to Xinxiang Railway Station. Fortunately, I did not drive by myself. In the tourist center of the town about ten kilometers away from the scenic spot, there are many self-driving vehicles stopped here, and it is time to switch to the tourist car and enter the tourist center in front of the village. Arrived at Guoliang Village at two o'clock in the afternoon, the breeze and drizzle had already blown away in the mountain village, and the luggage had just been settled in the inn. At this time, the sky seemed to be baptized for us, and it began to rain heavily. One afternoon, I had to chat with another wave of guests from Hangzhou at the inn.
On the second day of Guoliang Village, the weather was not good. It was raining heavily last night. When we got up in the morning, the store told us that the scenic spot had been closed due to the mountain flood. Thank God, we were already entering the mountain and were not shut down. After nine o'clock, the rain gradually subsided, so we could only visit around the viewing platform and film and television village. From the viewing platform, we looked at the hanging wall road opposite the tiankeng, and applauded Guo Liang, who is hardworking and brave. Guo Liang The tunnel is artificially excavated on the cliff. The tunnel is more than 1,200 meters long and has many "windows". Looking down from the "windows", you can see the abyss. Feelings of admiration welled up.

The village became a film and television village because Xie Jin created a precedent for filming TV dramas here, and then filmed many TV dramas one after another. All stone houses have become a scene.
D10 20/8 Guoliang Village—Rent a car to Xinxiang, Xinxiang Railway Station departs from K385 at 11:44 -12:45 Zhengzhou transfers to G825 15:04 departs—Shenzhen North
Huangtian paid off, and gave us an unexpected surprise on the morning when we were about to leave Guoliang Village. After five o'clock in the morning, a ray of sunlight fell on my face through the gap between the curtains. I opened my eyes in a hazy moment, opened the curtains and saw that the sky had cleared up, and the sun had already poked out his happy forehead. The boss called out and went straight to the roof to watch the sunrise.

The red sun shines on the Jinshan Mountain, there is no cloud in the sky, and a beautiful scenery is presented in front of you, which is so beautiful.
After breakfast, the appointed car was already waiting, so I could only leave with a feeling of reluctance.
The spectacular hanging wall cave, because there are still falling rocks after the rain, the village still sends people to guard it, and visitors are not allowed to enter, so they can only get out of the car quickly when passing by to take a look, and keep this as a photo
House on the Cliff in the Grand Canyon
On the way, I talked to the teacher about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. The enthusiastic teacher deliberately took a detour. On the middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in Huixian City, Henan Province, we experienced this great feat of mankind.
