Shiquan is suitable for a leisurely visit
Interesting things in the ancient city include various alleys, and the main street has some shops selling small items. There's also a yuzu tea, which is very delicious. The food is somewhat monotonous, mostly stone pot fish, but the kangkangmo is very tasty. Since people still live there, it retains a sense of liveliness and isn't too commercialized. It's not big, but it's quite interesting.

Checking in at Shiquan Ancient Street, a water town behind the willows
Strolling through the cobblestone streets of the ancient town is like traveling through a thousand years of time, savoring the essence of history and culture.
Why bother going to the south of the Yangtze River
When you can be at Shiquan
Beyond the hustle and bustle
There is always a water town standing there quietly
Its residents have been living in a poetic landscape
And it holds many old stories
That is the water town behind the willows
It is more rustic than Nanxun, more serene than Wuzhen
Like a paradise on earth
In the springtime water town behind the willows
The rolling hills are covered with lush greenery
Wild flowers bloom wildly by the emerald lake
In the distance are small bridges over flowing water, nearby are white walls and black tiles
Thick strokes of color blend into a vivid oil painting

It is indeed the beautiful scenery of the misty mountains and rivers in Shiquan, the 'Little Jiangnan' of Shaanxi
|||There are really many hidden gem towns around Xi'an that are perfect for short holidays or weekend trips.
How can you not come to southern Shaanxi in the summer?
This time I went to Shiquan, known as the 'Little Jiangnan' of Shaanxi.
Shiquan is not just 'ten beauties', the beauty and atmosphere here are doubled on rainy days🍃

✅The route is super easy
It only takes a little over two hours from Xi'an, and neither the ancient town nor the Yanshan Waterfall scenic area has intense routes. The distances between each location are also very close, which is very suitable for family trips and lazy people (like me😂)
✅Stunning Han River
I have to say that the Han River is really beautiful～ Whether it's the mainstream or the small tributaries, it's all emerald green in summer! The clouds drifting through the mountains on rainy days are like a fairyland～
✅Two ancient towns
Shiquan Old Street and Houliu Ancient Town are not big, and it's very easy to walk through. Besides the main street, the small alleys and porches of Shiquan Old Street offer views of the Han River that are very cinematic～
✅Hidden gem Yanshan Waterfall
Yanshan Waterfall can be said to be one of the most comfortable scenic areas I have visited. The journey is moderate and not very tiring, the original forest vegetation and the emerald pool along the way are super beautiful! And there are few people, so the experience is very good

Shiquan Ancient City (Part I)
Shiquan Ancient City is located in Shiquan County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province. In the first year of the deposed Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty (552), it was renamed Shiquan because there were many springs in the stone crevices south of the city, and it has a history of 1458 years to date. Over the centuries, the diligent and intelligent people of Shiquan have relied on natural resources and geographical advantages to create a brilliant historical culture and modern civilization, constructing a series of exceptionally beautiful landscapes, and it has become the best-preserved ancient county town in southern Shaanxi.
