The hidden valley forest around Xi'an resembles Qingcheng Mountain, perfect for a summer retreat and water play

Xi'an departure 1 hour 40 minutes! Good road conditions, right off the highway! Summer temperatures are 10 degrees cooler than the city, so refreshing! And there are hardly any mosquitoes! No traffic jams, fewer people! Great for summer camping and water fun! ✅✅Address: 'Wen Hua Xiaoyuan' homestay in Huangguan Town. It's a 1 hour 40 minute drive from the northern suburbs of Xi'an. Even closer from the southern suburbs. At Huangguan Town, there's a U-turn road 50 meters off the highway, turn around and drive 200 meters to get there. The river below the homestay is long, and if you continue further in, there are several spots where you can drive right up to the riverbank! The water is crystal clear and perfect for camping. ✅Nearby attractions: Chaoyanggou, which used to have golden monkeys, but not anymore. However, the gully is still incredibly beautiful for water play. Drive all the way to the sign for Chaoyanggou Nature School, where the nearby scenery is very forest-like, with tall fir trees and plenty of shade, and a stream nearby that's so cool you might need a jacket even during the day. Camping and charcoal grilling are available! ‼️Finally, after everyone has finished playing, please take care of the environment! Be sure to take your trash with you!!
