Xi'an Surrounding Tourist Attractions Recommendation—Such a Charming Landscape!

The Qinling Mountains Scenic Area, a 4A tourist spot, is about a one and a half hour drive from Xi'an. It takes roughly 20 minutes to reach the scenic area's parking lot after getting off the highway. Like all tourist spots, the standard package includes an entrance ticket plus a shuttle bus. It takes about 20 minutes by shuttle bus to actually enter the ticket checkpoint of the scenic area (see picture 1 here).

Perhaps due to the distance, there weren't many people during the Dragon Boat Festival. Overall, it was quite nice; if I were to give a score out of 100, I would rate it 90. The area is very quiet, the rivers are crystal clear, and it's very comfortable to see the fish swimming around.

Overall Evaluation:
Landscape richness: 70 points, the route is all along the canyon, with various pools and small ditches, which are accessible and great for children to play in the water.
Facility level of the scenic area: 90 points, the interior of the scenic area is quite clean, the toilet locations are well laid out, and they are cleaned promptly, which is commendable.
Highlights of the scenic area: Personally, I think the Red Rock Fort at the top is worth a visit, it's somewhat similar to the Stone Forest, and it was just in time for the flowers to bloom when I went, which felt pretty good.
