📝 Itinerary
Xi'an > Dihua Ancient Town > Jinsi Gorge Town > Jinsi Grand Canyon > Xi'an
🚗 Transportation
It takes about 3 hours to get there from Xi'an. We left the Conservatory of Music at 7 am. Make sure to eat breakfast or you might get carsick. We joined a two-day tour for convenience. There are some small attractions on the first day, and Jinsi Gorge on the second day.
📝 Itinerary
Dihua Ancient Town Scenic Area features two streets (Songjin Street and Qingfeng Street), one museum (Pingwa Literature Museum), one lotus pond (Ecological Lotus Pond), and the Western Flower City. It has restored old attractions such as Dihua Ancient Post, Kuixing Tower, and Faxing Temple, and created new attractions that integrate history, culture, and ecology, highlighting the "Dihua" features of the Shangyu Ancient Road.
You can pay to watch a historical epic, Dihua Past (RMB 80/person, optional), and travel through thousands of years of history to experience the charm of culture.
Take a bus to Jinsi Gorge Town and experience the Jinsi Gorge Danjiang River Rafting, which is 13.8 km long from north to south and passes through eight dangerous bays. The rafting takes 1.5 hours in total.
Ride a rubber boat down the river, surrounded by high skies, long rivers, bright sunshine, and green mountains. As you drift along, you will feel a sense of anticipation, excitement, thrill, and a fight with nature, and a sense of relief after the thrill.
Go to the Jinsi Grand Canyon, a national 5A scenic area (about 4.5 hours): Visit Bailong Gorge, Heilong Gorge, Qinglong Gorge, and Shiyan Village. You can see attractions such as Stone Tree, Maid Offering Melon, Horse Spring, Prince Stone, Water Curtain Cave, Golden Lion Cave, Emerald Waterfall, Dragon Lock Waterfall, and Nantian Gate.
❗️ Personal experience
V There are many steps in Jinsi Gorge Scenic Area. You need to climb stairs to go up and down the mountain, so it requires a lot of physical strength.
V There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so you need to spray mosquito repellent to avoid mosquito bites.
V There are many places with water on the mountain roads, where you can play in the river, but be careful.
The scenic area is generally average. It's definitely fine if you want to go into the mountains and play in the water, but don't have too high expectations.

Jinsixia
2024.4.10 Partly Cloudy
Lanzhou to Shangluo 6 days 5 nights self-driving tour Day 4
Early 8 am Shanyang Toll Station→Jinsixia Scenic Area (57.95 yuan)→Ludumen→Shangkeyoupin Hotel (Jinsixia Scenic Area store 150 yuan)
Jinsixia is located in the hinterland of Xinkailing in the southeastern part of Shangnan County, Shangluo, Shaanxi. It is 18 kilometers away from Jinsixia Town and is a rare and most complete 5A-level tourist scenic area with a gorge geological structure in the Qinling area.
1. Sightseeing Tickets 100*2 It is recommended to enter the park from Ludumen, and first visit Bailongxia along the stream. There are Monkey Mountain, One Line Sky, Mapao Spring, Stone-Born Trees... The stream is clear and elegant, and there are waterfalls on both sides of the canyon. The scenery is magnificent. Entering Heilongxia feels steep, the canyon is narrow and long, and the pool water is deep. Waterfalls flow out from the strange rocks and cliffs one after another, which can be called a waterfall canyon. The unpredictable journey makes people linger and forget to return, and finally reach Liyuanmen along the stream. At this time, everyone can choose to take the scenic spot bus back to the parking lot or return along the stream. The weather in the mountain canyons is unpredictable, so it is recommended to bring rain gear. Along the way, you can also take a cable car or walk up to Shimenzhai to see the high mountain scenery different from the canyon.
2. Food There are many snack shops in the scenic area. I had two bowls of noodles for 30 yuan, which is a bit expensive but tastes good. There are rest stone benches and loungers (very considerate for the elderly and children) along the way, and you can bring your own food to replenish energy.
3. Jinsixia Town The town is not big and has hotels, restaurants, and a tourist center. The food here is large in quantity and strong in flavor, and the service is very enthusiastic. Staying at Shangkeyoupin Hotel is clean and hygienic and feels comfortable.

The stream is fast and slow, and the high mountains form a few waterfalls with rapid currents. Although there are no three thousand feet in the flying down, the momentum is equally spectacular! The road walked around the water, and there was no more walking and walking around it. It turned out to be another one. It was really "there is no way to reclaim the mountains and heavy waters, and the village is dark and bright."
