June in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, 25℃ in the Qinba Secret Realm Early Summer

🌿 June in Hanzhong is no longer the rapeseed flower paradise of March, but it hides even more surprising scenery: meadows full of wildflowers on Zibai Mountain, and the clear water of Shimen plank road flowing through cliffs～

✨ Off-the-beaten-path experiences:

- Zibai Mountain hiking: Take the cable car to the top (round trip 120 yuan). In June, the meadows are covered with globeflowers. Walking along the ridge, you can see a naturally formed "tiankeng" (sinkhole);
​
- Shimen Plank Road: Walk on the ancient cliff plank road. In June, the Baohé River water is emerald green. See the "world's first man-made tunnel" (Shimen Cave) carved by ancient people. The 80 yuan ticket is totally worth it;
​
- Qingmuchuan Ancient Town: A 3-hour drive to the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces. In June, the ancient town has fewer tourists. Drink can-can tea on Huilongchang Old Street and admire the carved doors and windows of the Wei Fu Tang old residence～

🍲 Southern Shaanxi cuisine: Hot rice noodles (with tofu side dish), walnut bread. Recommended to go to "Zhang Mingfu Mianpi," which opens at 6 a.m. and is popular with locals～
🚗 Transportation: Rent a car at Hanzhong High-Speed Rail Station. Zibai Mountain is 90 minutes from the city center by car. The mountain roads are winding, so experienced drivers are recommended～
💡 Tips: Zibai Mountain is over 2600 meters high, bring a light jacket; Shimen Plank Road has many mosquitoes, bring insect repellent spray～
