👍️Recommended reason: The local customs of Northern Shaanxi have always deeply attracted me, and I finally had the opportunity to see it for myself. Their honest and simple way of hospitality is touching. For hundreds of years, they have always maintained the simple and authentic folk customs of Northern Shaanxi, and the cheerful tunes of Northern Shaanxi make people yearn for them.
📅Travel guide: The destination of this trip is Chiniuwa, Yulin, Shaanxi. You can first watch the large-scale situational drama performance of "A Cow on the High Mountain" in the square. The actors are all villagers performing live, which is very down-to-earth. Afterwards, you can take a pony, camel, or sedan to experience the local customs. Then there is a large stage where you can watch Shaanxi dances. Further up, there is the Northern Shaanxi Folk Art Museum, where you can truly feel the changes in Northern Shaanxi over the years and their customs. Finally, go to see the Little Potala Palace, with layers and layers of cave dwellings.
🍜Food guide: There are local restaurants, and you must try the local fried black noodles, bowl tray, and hand-rolled noodles.
🏨Accommodation guide: There is a cave-style hotel on the mountain, which is very clean, and the price ranges from CNY 200–300.
💗Other tips: The mountain road is difficult to walk, so bring a few more pairs of comfortable shoes. Yulin, Shaanxi
