From Xi'an to Nyingchi in just one hour, thanks to the Zhengguo Canal.

Pink peach blossoms cover the mountainsides 🌸
Deep and treacherous canyons
Bamboo rafts drift on turquoise waters
Waterfalls adorned with rainbows under the sunlight 🌈
Isn't this a lowland version of Nyingchi?
.
The name "Zhengguo Canal" might be a bit understated.
Those who haven't been there might think it's a small, culturally significant site.
But a visit there is surprisingly delightful❗
The scenery is different from most mountain resorts around Xi'an,
offering a refreshing Jiangnan ambiance.🌿
.
Most importantly, exploring it is effortless.
Take the shuttle bus to Zhengguo Lake and enjoy the downhill journey.
There are small trains 🚞, rainbow escalators 🌈, and shuttle buses connecting different areas.
During a recent visit, some early-blooming peach blossoms were already in full bloom.
It's estimated that from this weekend to next week, the Peach Blossom Valley will be covered in blossoms.🌸
