Hanzhong Canola Fields Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The rapeseed flowers in Hanzhong are blooming, are you sure you don't want to come and enjoy the flowers?
🎉I never understood why people would go to see rapeseed flowers until I went to see them myself. Only then did I realize that the rapeseed flower sea in Hanzhong is really too beautiful! 😍I'll give everyone a quick look first haha～
This year's main venue is in Chencun, Nanzhen County🎈, and we went to the Hantai sub-venue, which is the closest to the Hantai district urban area, Huangtang Tianyuan Flower Township. There are tens of thousands of acres of rapeseed flower sea here, and it is currently the peak blooming period. There are also wheat fields and lakes to set off the scenery, making it very photogenic📷.
It is generally less than 10 kilometers from Hanzhong urban area🚗, you can drive or ride an electric bike, and it only takes about ten minutes to get there, very convenient. If you take the bus, you can take the 808 from the urban area to the Jinguai intersection, then you need to walk more than 1 kilometer to Huangtang, and there are also rapeseed flower fields along the way🌼.
The viewing route in Huangtang is around the lake loop🛣, and it takes us more than an hour to walk around slowly while enjoying the flowers and taking pictures. The flower sea here is mainly yellow rapeseed flowers, and there is a small patch of colorful rapeseed flowers in yellow, pink, and orange on the small hillside by the lake where the windmills are, which is very beautiful🌈.
There are snacks and drinks in the commercial area🍹, and you can also go to the nearby anime village to eat. On the other side of the entrance, there is also a large children's play area🎡, which is very suitable for bringing children to play.
There are a lot of people coming to see the rapeseed flowers🤗, but I also noticed some uncivilized behaviors. I hope everyone will watch the flowers civilly, do not pick, do not break, do not trample, and do not randomly destroy or take away decorative props, so that more people can enjoy this beauty🤝.
Xi'an | Stop planning, just go and see the rapeseed flowers in Hanzhong
The fields are filled with blooming rapeseed flowers🌼, peach blossoms that are just right on the ridges, delicate green willows, and the distant farmhouses and green mountains and trees, all together form a brightly colored painting; whether you are passing by or visiting on purpose, you will be intoxicated by this gorgeous scenery, and even the gloom in your heart will dissipate, leaving only the scent of spring and the natural aroma brought by the buzzing of bees flying around your ears🐝

Photo-taking Tips
For taller subjects, such as flowers on high trees or the sky, hold the phone at a 45-degree angle and shoot upwards.
For shorter subjects, like lawns, bushes, or low flowers, squat down and take a photo from above with your phone.
You can buy some small flowers to stick on your face to add to the atmosphere.
If possible, get close to the flowers, and use flowers or branches as the foreground.
Do not randomly pick or trample on the flowers, let's take photos civilly and enjoy the flowers happily

Zhiguo Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Yang County, a small city with many stories
Yang County, affiliated to Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, is located in the southwestern part of Shaanxi Province, on the eastern edge of the Hanzhong Basin, north against the Qinling Mountains, south against the Ba Mountains, east adjacent to Foping and Shiquan counties, south neighboring Xixiang County, west bordering Chenggu County, and north bordering Liuba and Taibai counties.
Yang County has a long history. During the Western Jin Dynasty, Yangzhou was established within its territory, which has a history of more than 1,700 years of establishment. The idiom 'having a well-thought-out plan' originates from Yang County, which is also the burial place of Cai Lun, the inventor of one of the four great inventions, papermaking. The Han tune, the firework-laden shelves, and the hanging platform folk performances have been listed as national intangible cultural heritages. There are 19 key cultural relics protection sites within the county, including the Tang Dynasty's Kai Ming Temple Pagoda, the Yuan Dynasty's Juehuang Hall, and the Ming Dynasty's Zhiguo Temple Sutra Depository, making it a culturally advanced county in Shaanxi Province. Yang County is the only area in Shaanxi Province that has two national nature reserves, Crested Ibis and Changqing, and is known as one of the best ecological areas on the same latitude on Earth. It is also the only artificial breeding source and main wild habitat for the world's rare bird, the Crested Ibis. Huayang, an ancient town located on the ancient Tangluo Trail in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, is known as the first ancient town of the Qinling Mountains, where the headquarters of the Red 25th Army was once located. The Changqing National Nature Reserve, adjacent to the ancient town, is home to the 'Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains': the Crested Ibis, the Giant Panda, the Golden Monkey, and the Takin, which is rare in the country.
Longtingzhen Cultural Center Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Walking and Viewing the Hanzhong Rapeseed Flower Series One: Longting
Hanzhong rapeseed flowers are one of the four major rapeseed flower viewing spots in China (the other three are: Luoping in Yunnan, Wuyuan in Jiangxi, and Menyuan in Qinghai). In the springtime, the southern Shaanxi region of Hanzhong is full of vitality, with the fragrance of rapeseed flowers filling the air. Fields of golden rapeseed flowers bloom competitively: in front of houses, behind dwellings, by lakes, alongside rivers, next to roads, and across the countryside... they are everywhere. During the annual Hanzhong Rapeseed Flower Festival, we followed the Luoyun Outdoor group to head south to Hanzhong to enjoy the flowers, intentionally avoiding the heavily promoted main venue in Yang County and the popular routes and crowded viewing spots. Instead, we chose some rural routes in Yang County, Mian County, and Nanzheng District, walking and watching, stopping from time to time, to fully appreciate the sea of rapeseed flowers amidst the mountains, rivers, and fields of Hanzhong.
Departing from Xi'an, we took the Xi-Han Expressway and exited at the Longting exit, where vast expanses of golden rapeseed flowers instantly came into view.
Longting Town belongs to Yang County in Hanzhong and is the resting place of Cai Lun, the innovator of one of China's 'Four Great Inventions'—papermaking. It is also the land granted to Cai Lun.

Walking through the Hanzhong rapeseed flower series part two: Yangwan Village in Yang County
Exiting from the Longting expressway, it's just a short walk before you see the rapeseed fields of Yangwan Village in Yang County on both sides of National Highway 108. With houses, trees, and iron towers as a backdrop, the rapeseed flower sea looks even more beautiful. We strolled through the fields and happened to meet a few village ladies, carrying farming tools, lined up in a row, walking through the sea of flowers. This was not a staged photo, but a truly natural and vivid picture of rural life, so I quickly captured it...
