Southern Shaanxi, with its mountains, rivers, and ancient towns, is not located in the regions south of the Yangtze River, yet it rivals their beauty. The Han River Gorges Take a boat tour starting from the famous ancient Lotus Ferry, ending at the Xihe Guiyuan Scenic Area. The scenery along the banks of the Han River is serene and the mountains are steep, forming gorges, especially notable are the Phoenix Gorge, Liuxi Gorge, and Xiangbai Gorge. Jinsixia Gorge Described as 'the narrowest in China, a rarity in the world', the scenic area includes Bailong Gorge, Heilong Gorge, Qinglong Gorge, Shiyanzhai, and the source of the Danjiang River, with over a hundred attractions across five major scenic areas. The unique gorge landscape, the primeval forests that block out the sky, and the clear springs and waterfalls create stunning views that change with every step. Shiquan Ancient Town Founded in the second year of the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty, it is a well-preserved ancient town from the Ming and Qing dynasties in Southern Shaanxi. The buildings within the ancient town are majestic and simple, and walking on the ancient streets paved with bluestone slabs evokes a sense of history that spans a thousand years. Dihua Ancient Town With clear mountains and beautiful waters, it integrates projects such as the picking of blue rose grapes, a thousand-acre plum orchard, a thousand-acre lotus pond, and open-air vegetable planting. It is a famous ecological health town and a wellness tourism and vacation destination both near and far. 1.
