Xi'an | Hongqing Mountain

Hongqing Mountain National Forest Park ❤ Recommended reasons: Hongqing Mountain is located at the junction of Lintong District, Baqiao District, and Lantian County, and is part of the Qinling Mountains. Legend has it that more than 8,000 years ago, a girl from the Huaxu tribe south of Hongqing Mountain stepped on a large footprint and became pregnant, giving birth to Fuxi and Nuwa. The siblings were considered ominous by the tribe and were driven to the top of Hongqing Mountain. Later, they survived a flood and got married on the top of Hongqing Mountain, giving birth to the Chinese nation. The village of Shuiziquan, not far from the top of the mountain, has become a great place for tourists to explore the birthplace of Chinese civilization and experience the natural scenery and rural customs.
