With an investment of 20 billion yuan, the Han Dynasty Dreamland was created! This winter, take your children on a journey back to the prosperous Han Dynasty. Majestic palaces, immersive performances, and dazzling night scenes—this is not just a scenic spot, but a living history lesson. 【🎭 Two Major Performances, Must-See One】 The core experience of the park is two high-quality performances; it is recommended to watch at least one: 🔸 "Han Ode" (Daytime): Performed inside the main hall of the Han Culture Museum, it weaves stories like "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Zhang Qian’s Diplomatic Mission," with stunning audiovisual effects that children can understand. 🔸 "Legend of Tianhan" (Nighttime): A large-scale water live show on Hanyuan Lake featuring holographic projections, royal fleets, and fireworks. The spectacle is grand, so be sure to dress warmly for the winter evening! Tips: Tickets for the performances must be purchased separately or as part of a package. Showtimes are subject to daily announcements. 【🏛️ Key Spots for Touring and Photos】 📍 Han Culture Museum: The main hall with a 45-meter-high ceiling is magnificent and golden, making you feel small the moment you enter. Shoe covers are required inside, and the floor is smooth, so watch out for children’s safety. 📍 Xinghan City Exhibition Hall: Learn about city planning through a cool sand table model, which boys usually love. 📍 Han Homeland Street: An ancient-style street outside the park where you can dine and recharge. 【🚗 Arrival and Costs】 It takes just over an hour by high-speed train from Xi’an to "Hanzhong Station," and a 5-minute taxi ride from the station to the park, making transportation extremely convenient. Ticket prices fluctuate online, so it’s recommended to compare prices from multiple sources. There is a shuttle bus inside the park (15 yuan per person, round trip included). The area is large, so it’s advisable to take the shuttle when visiting with children. 【📝 Winter Travel Tips】 Itinerary Planning: It’s recommended to arrive in the afternoon, visit the venues first, then watch the "Legend of Tianhan" night show (8 PM) for a full and rewarding day. Clothing and Safety: Winter nights outdoors are extremely cold. When watching "Legend of Tianhan," be sure to wear the thickest down jacket, hat, and scarf. The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large, so dress accordingly. Shoe Choice: The park’s architecture is grand and requires a lot of walking, so be sure to wear the most comfortable, warm, and non-slip shoes.

For a short weekend trip, I always want to find a place that can both relax the body and mind and avoid the crowds. Departing from Xi'an, after a little over an hour on the high-speed train, I arrived at Hanzhong, known as the "Little Jiangnan of Northwest China"—this city hidden south of the Qinling Mountains surprised me as soon as I got off the train. Taking a taxi from the train station, the 7 yuan starting fare was unexpectedly cheap. Also, many of the Didi rides were in gasoline cars, which made me curious about how they make a profit. Outside the window, the view was full of moist greenery, different from Xi'an’s dry and clear air. The air in Hanzhong carried the freshness of plants, and the rivers flowing alongside the streets murmured gently. No wonder the ancients called this place the "Land of Abundance." Such elegant scenery truly lives up to the reputation of "Little Jiangnan." We signed up for a local one-day tour and first visited the Shimen Plank Road. Green mountains stood opposite each other on both sides, and the river water rippled with emerald waves. From afar, you could see the winding remains of the plank road on the cliff face. This place is not only the historical site of the "Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang" strategy but also a perfect blend of ancient wisdom and natural barriers. Our next stop was the Wuhou Shrine in Mian County. As the earliest Wuhou Shrine built in the country, inside the main hall, a statue of Zhuge Liang sat upright in the center, his eyes bright as if still strategizing. The courtyard’s Han cypress and drought lotus trees are over a thousand years old, flourishing and witnessing the passage of time. Walking here, there is no city noise, only the rustling of leaves in the wind, making one quietly appreciate the lingering spirit of the Three Kingdoms and admire Zhuge Liang’s sincere and tragic fate of "dying before achieving victory." Besides its profound cultural heritage, Hanzhong’s local life is also captivating. Most street shops are simple and unpretentious. A bowl of hot rice noodles paired with freshly ground soy milk, with a sour, spicy, and fresh flavor that hits the taste buds; in the evening, the lights along both sides of the Han River turn on, citizens stroll by the river feeding seagulls, and children chase and play. This leisurely and carefree pace of life makes you want to slow down. In just two short days, Hanzhong gave me a perfect weekend escape with its elegant scenery, millennia-old culture, and affordable prices. From the bustling noise of Xi'an to the gentle tranquility of Hanzhong, the one-hour high-speed rail ride feels like crossing into two completely different worlds. There are no crowded internet-famous spots here, only stories and comfort hidden among the mountains and waters. If you want to find a place to relax and feel history on the weekend, Hanzhong will definitely not disappoint you.

In early spring 2026, the Ancient Han Terrace in Hanzhong welcomes the splendid sight of twin plum blossoms: a vermilion plum and a wintersweet blossom nestled closely, competing in beauty. The red plum glows like a burning candle, while the wintersweet is a creamy yellow, weaving a picturesque scene among the blue bricks and black tiles of Han-style architecture. As an important relic of Han culture, the Ancient Han Terrace features pavilions, towers, flying eaves, and the silent companionship of the Han and Wei dynasty’s thirteen stone inscriptions. The subtle fragrance of plum blossoms drifts through the air, with morning light illuminating dewdrops on petals, resembling pearls fallen from the hair of Han terracotta warriors. Visitors dressed in Hanfu stroll gently, their flowing sleeves dancing with the shadows of the plum blossoms, blending the ancient charm of a thousand years with the vitality of early spring. Guests can immerse themselves in the delicate beauty of “sparse shadows slanting over clear shallow water” and the resilient spirit of “blooming alone in the cold,” or quietly sit in a small pavilion, letting the plum fragrance soothe the heart and cleanse restlessness. Before the beginning of spring, the city flower, the ancient drought lotus, is already budding, quietly unfolding the prelude to spring across Hanzhong. Come to Hanzhong for a gentle encounter with the twin plums, Han culture, and early spring!

The ultimate spring destination in southern Shaanxi is none other than Mian County! Just 1.5 hours by high-speed train plus a short transfer, embark on a double romance of the "Flower Field Three Kingdoms." As the main venue of the Rapeseed Flower Festival, the terraced flower sea in Longwan spreads like a golden wave, while the flower fields in Xuanshuiping hide the pattern of the Bagua Formation. Wearing Hanfu and strolling through, you can easily snap photos with a time-travel vibe. The 400-year-old drought lotus at the Temple of Marquis Wu, the first martial temple in China, blooms simultaneously, its pink and white petals reflecting ancient cypress trees, adding a springtime Zen feeling even more than the Wuhou Shrine in Chengdu. Chase flowers by day, and meet the Three Kingdoms by night. The live performance of "Chu Shi Biao" in Zhuge Ancient Town features equestrian special effects that recreate the grandeur of the Northern Expedition. The lights by Qingwa Lake instantly transform the water town into a Three Kingdoms film set. Local intangible cultural heritage cuisine is a must! Kiln-stored red tofu is savory and rich, black fermented soybeans steamed and sun-dried three times are incredibly fresh, freshly baked walnut bread is crispy to the point of crumbling, and paired with a bowl of tangy and fragrant corn wine, the southern Shaanxi flavors hit your soul. Want to take it slow?
