❤️Rainy and misty Hancheng Lake instantly transports you to Jiangnan. Don’t just stay in your hotel on rainy days in Xi'an! The rainy scenery at Hancheng Lake is truly stunning!
Thick fog drifts over the embankment, enveloping the entire lake in a hazy veil. The distant Dafeng Pavilion appears faintly through the mist, as if a guardian from a thousand years ago has come to life. The lake water gently laps against the stone steps, making you feel like you’re in a Jiangnan water town rather than the rugged Northwest~

✅Recommended photo spots
① Dafeng Pavilion standing tall in the mist, giving a strong sense of time travel! Climb the pavilion to overlook the fog-covered lake—it really feels like stepping back to the Han Dynasty in an instant!
② Statue of Emperor Han Wudi: The 21.5-meter-tall statue looks even more majestic in the rain, holding a sword to pacify the borders with one hand and blessing all beings with the other. Standing beneath it makes you feel so small.
③ Lakeside boardwalk: Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, listen to the rain, watch the mist rise, and every shot you take looks like a masterpiece.
④ Waterwheel Square: At the Watermill Square west of Heping Bridge, the waterwheels turn in the rain, and the soothing sound of flowing water is super healing.

✅Tips for visiting
✅Fewer people and beautiful scenery on rainy days, perfect for photos
✅Recommended to wear Hanfu for photos; the misty effect is amazing
✅There are sightseeing cars inside the park
✅You can easily enjoy the park even on rainy days; when the rain is light, you can take a boat ride on the lake to experience the misty rain atmosphere
