The canola flowers have recently bloomed, but Hanzhong is sure to be crowded. That's why I chose to go to Ankang to see the canola flowers. On the expressway, I could see that everyone was going to Hanzhong to see the canola flowers. Every service area was packed. After leaving the Jingkun Expressway, there was no one there.

Shuanghekou Ancient Town is a newly developed ancient town. There weren't many cars on the road, and the road was easy to drive on, but almost all the shops were closed, so there wasn't much to see.

There are many viewing platforms at Fengyan Ancient Terraces, but many of them can't be found on the navigation. If you see a parking area by the road, stop and take a look. The Fengjiang Terraces Viewing Point is relatively far away. Not many canola flowers were planted this year, and the weather wasn't good, so the colors weren't very bright. The Tiandi Tonghui Viewing Platform has the best view, but you need to climb hundreds of steps. Fengjia Fort is larger in scale and more distinctive. The scenery on the way to Wujia Flower House is especially beautiful.

Ziyang is not a big city, and it's not easy to park. It's all uphill and downhill, so it's a bit tiring to walk.

Half Acre Tea Garden is still very beautiful for taking pictures. There are many teahouses around. If you have enough time, be sure to experience it. I tasted Ziyang Maojian tea, which was 68 yuan, cheaper than in Xi'an.

The Five Province Guild Hall is just a place to feel the traces of history and learn about the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

At Liushui Ancient Town, you can see the Han River. You need to take a boat to see several attractions.
