Reverse Tourism - A Guide for College Students to Visit Shangluo Jinsi Gorge in April and May

Hello family! Actually, I wrote this guide because I was bored in class.
This guide is applicable to:
🥰First, enjoy delicious food in Shangluo city
😜I want to feel the coolness of Jinsi Gorge again
🤗When I was tired of playing, I went back to Xi'an without thinking

Let's first clarify the relationship between Shangluo City, Shangnan County and Jinsi Gorge
This is the relationship between city→county→town (mountain).
The transportation is not very convenient, so this article mainly shares transportation and food.

Day 1 Xi'an→→Shangluo
🚆Of course you have to choose the train or high-speed rail for transportation~
The earliest one is at 6:44am and the latest one is at 19:38. Be sure to check whether you are going to "Shangluo North" (close to the city) or "Shangluo" (far away)
🚗Our route:
Arrive at Shangluo Station at 4pm → take a taxi to the city (27r) → rest at the hotel → Jinfeng Mountain (10r) This is a small local park. It is not high but you can see the entire Shangluo city. It is just right for watching the sunset with friends.
🥟I had two meals:
Zhan's Beef Restaurant (the fried beef is so delicious, see p3)
Shangzhou Night Market (recommended fried pork with cumin)
🚶‍♀️CITYWALK:
There is a beautiful park along the Danjiang River, which is perfect for taking a walk and enjoying the breeze.

Day 2: Shangluo→→Shangnan
🥟Breakfast: Jingquanshan or Yejia rolled noodles (p4)
The neighbor also bought two pan-fried buns
🏠Qinling Museum (p5) (take a taxi)
Recommended, 5-6 pavilions, 2-4h play depends on the individual.
🥟Lunch: Stewed Vegetables (Bus No. 1)
Shangzhou Shanyang traditional stew with meat and vegetables, large quantity and delicious taste
🚆Transportation: Take the train to Shangnan County at 4:50 and stay next to the train station. Prepare to go to Jinsi Gorge.
🥘Dinner: Fantastic. I ate Yan'an Zhanzhan in Shangnan (shared tram).

Day3Shangnan→Jinsixia→Xi'an
This is wonderful, family, this is the highlight.
The transportation is so troublesome. How beautiful must Jinsi Gorge be to make it worth my taking so many different buses to get there?
💬7:10 Shared tram → Shangnan Bus Station (18min)
💬8:10 Village-to-Village Bus → Jinsi Gorge (17r 1h20min)
💬10:00 Tourist Center Scenic Bus Line 1 → Lu Du Gate (mountainside)
The scenic bus costs 30r and you can take it at will. The tourist center can store your luggage.
💬10:40 Lu Du Gate (mountainside) change to Line 2 → Liyuan Gate (mountaintop)
💬Start walking down from Liyuan Gate at 11:20, stop and take photos for 3.5 hours, then go back to Ludu Gate to take the scenic bus down the mountain.
📍So far so good, right?
He He returned to Lu Du Men at 14:30, but there were so many people going up the mountain that the scenic spot converted all the cars into cars going up the mountain, leaving 50 people going down the mountain stranded at Lu Du Men with no car to take. It was already 15:00.
At this time, I have to thank an old man who got angry with staff member Hong Wen and the tourists who kept calling the visitor center, forcing the scenic spot to borrow a tour group's car to take us down the mountain. (Before that, he had been making excuses by saying that he had reassigned a train, but in fact the train that came was still going up the mountain) (From this, it can be seen that his dispatching was simply shit)
💬At 15:50, I just got on the bus from Jinsixia Tourist Center to Xi'an (55r 3h30min) to Textile City. The last bus is at 16:30 but you need to call ahead and buy tickets on the spot. When there are too many people, there will be no buses available.
