|||There are really many hidden gem towns around Xi'an that are perfect for short holidays or weekend trips.
How can you not come to southern Shaanxi in the summer?
This time I went to Shiquan, known as the 'Little Jiangnan' of Shaanxi.
Shiquan is not just 'ten beauties', the beauty and atmosphere here are doubled on rainy days🍃

🚘Self-driving route 2️⃣ days 1️⃣ night:
Xi'an-Shiquan Old Street-Houliu Water Town-Yanshan Waterfall-Han River Cruise
·
✅The route is super easy
It only takes a little over two hours from Xi'an, and neither the ancient town nor the Yanshan Waterfall scenic area has intense routes. The distances between each location are also very close, which is very suitable for family trips and lazy people (like me😂)
✅Stunning Han River
I have to say that the Han River is really beautiful~ Whether it's the mainstream or the small tributaries, it's all emerald green in summer! The clouds drifting through the mountains on rainy days are like a fairyland~
✅Two ancient towns
Shiquan Old Street and Houliu Ancient Town are not big, and it's very easy to walk through. Besides the main street, the small alleys and porches of Shiquan Old Street offer views of the Han River that are very cinematic~
✅Hidden gem Yanshan Waterfall
Yanshan Waterfall can be said to be one of the most comfortable scenic areas I have visited. The journey is moderate and not very tiring, the original forest vegetation and the emerald pool along the way are super beautiful! And there are few people, so the experience is very good
