Drive from Xi'an to the unmanned meadow in the sky! 100% to the top. A new treasure has been discovered, a free campsite It takes about 1 hour to get there from Xi'an You can drive directly to the meadow platform in the sky Not many people know about it at present, so it's quiet, beautiful and not crowded I even saw a sea of clouds that morning!! The view is amazing!!! 📍Address: Near Wangjialing, Jiaodai Town, Lantian, navigate directly to "Jiaodai Zhangling" (don't navigate to Zhangling Village! One word less!) 🚗Road conditions: The whole journey is cement road, which is easy to drive. The road section to the top of the mountain is a little narrow and not easy to meet, but there are not many people and cars here

No need to go to the northwest to see the colorful Danxia, an hour's departure from Xi'an, there is also beautiful Danxia scenery here, the unique terrain is like being at the "Mars base", this is the Danxia landform viewing spot located on the Huayang Ring Line in Lantian County, Xi'an. How to get there: Depart from Xi'an, directly navigate to "Huayang Ring Line Danxia Landform Viewing Spot" to arrive. Photo tips: 1. Definitely bring a drone, because the aerial view and the scenery and color seen from the ground are completely different, which is why many people say they were "deceived". 2. If you really don't have a drone, there are high points near the viewing platform (with chess pieces inserted on top), you can also take pictures by climbing up. 3. It is recommended to shoot the drone from above, you can shoot the texture and terrain of the ground. 4. It is recommended to bring people or vehicles, with a size comparison of objects, you can show the grandeur of the Danxia landform. 5. It is recommended to come here when the weather is good (with sunlight), because of the light, the reflection of the Danxia landform will look better. 6. It's also good to come here after the snow, the distant snow-capped mountains feel very Sichuan. Other suggestions: 1. There is a parking area on the viewing platform, but the charge is 5 yuan per car. If you don't want to spend money on parking, you can park at the fork in the road behind. 2. The road is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to meet cars. Remember to give way to each other when you encounter oncoming cars. 3. There is nothing to eat here, you can fill your stomach on the main street of Huaxu Town before coming. 4. Danxia has completely different colors when shot in different light, different weather, and different perspectives. If you don't have a drone, it is not recommended to make a special trip. 5. The back of the mountain road has snow, please drive slowly. Lantian Danxia

For fans of the game Black Myth Wu Kong, today I had the opportunity to visit Xi'an and bring you some pictures of the Lantianshui Lu’an Bisu Museum. If you remember, this place is featured in Chapter 3 where we fight the Yellow Eyebrow Demon. The statues of the three Buddhas can be seen in the scene where we meet Maitreya Buddha before entering the painting to fight the Three-Eyed God. I must say, the real place looks incredibly beautiful and sacred. Inside, there are carvings of Buddha, Bodhisattvas, and various deities. If you visit Xi'an, I highly recommend stopping by. It's free to enter.

| Meet the "Shaanxi Version of Xiaoxitian". If you are here for the exquisite hanging sculptures, a one-day tour of Lantian County is definitely worth arranging! The temple has become increasingly popular due to its mysterious connection with Black Myth: Wukong.🔥 Travel Tips When traveling in winter, be sure to keep warm. Wear thick clothes and bring a heat pack. The cold is quite noticeable when you stand in the temple for a long time to admire the sculptures. Admission to the Water and Land Temple is free! The guided tour service costs CNY 100 for 25 minutes and can accommodate up to 20 people. Explore the Water and Land Temple This temple was meticulously carved by Shanxi craftsmen during the Ming Dynasty over a period of 5 years for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. Every January, local residents flock here to pray for blessings, creating a lively atmosphere. Upon entering the temple, you will be greeted by the three main deities: Shakyamuni (wooden skeleton clay sculpture), Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha. The details of the Buddha's halo are intricate. Take a closer look at the flame pattern on P3, which is so lifelike that it seems like real flames are dancing.🔥 The hanging sculptures on both sides are even more exquisite, with a four-layer layout that gradually unfolds the legendary life of Shakyamuni from birth to nirvana. There are also two adorable highlights: in the nirvana scene, there is a localized detail of "pinching the philtrum", a rare sight elsewhere; and in the scene of 500 Arhats crossing the sea after nirvana, the sea horses, shrimps, turtles, and other sea creatures imagined by the Ming people are vividly depicted, looking cute and interesting. Don't forget to look for the most leisurely and carefree reclining bodhisattva mentioned in the video lesson, whose graceful demeanor is unforgettable.

🏨 Shuilu Temple 📍Address: At the foot of Wangshun Mountain, Puhua Town, Lantian County, Xi'an. 🚉Transportation: Navigate to "Shuilu Temple". There is a parking lot and Lantian snacks at the entrance. 🌟Highlights: Lantian County is about a 50-minute drive from Xi'an. After passing through winding mountain roads, you will find a small temple at the foot of the mountain. This is the ancient Shuilu Temple. Many people know about it because it is one of the filming locations for the popular game Black Myth: Wukong. It is the most low-key and least known location! ❤Recommended: The inconspicuous main hall of Shuilu Temple is home to over 3,700 Ming Dynasty hanging sculptures of gods and Buddhas. Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are all represented here. Each sculpture is exquisite, with continuous story-like wall sculptures and rare bearded Guanyin statues! The clay sculptures here were made by Shanxi craftsmen, just like those at Xiaoxitian and Donglin Temple. The clay sculptures cover the walls, beams, and ceilings of the main hall. Every detail and story is worth seeing! However, due to years of disrepair, some clay sculptures have been damaged, revealing the bamboo and wood cores and faded colors. This is a reminder of the passage of time. You should see them while you can, as they may not be around forever! 👍Most recommended: Photography is now allowed, but some areas are fenced off. We hope these precious clay sculptures can be well protected and restored. If you visit, remember not to use flash! 📝Tips: There are also many modern clay sculptures in the Xiaowuzhen Temple opposite Shuilu Temple. However, the craftsmanship and aesthetics are vastly different from the Ming Dynasty clay sculptures at Shuilu Temple. If you have time, you can also check them out! 🍽Dining: The annual temple fair at Shuilu Temple is very lively. If you can catch the temple fair, you can enjoy a feast of carbs!

Xi'an Shuilu Temple Black Myth: Wukong One of Xi'an's lesser-known attractions: Shuilu Temple Recommended for those who love ancient Chinese architecture, Buddha statues, and sacred images! This attraction is small, but the highlights are all concentrated on the walls of a small room. The lighting inside is dim, and only the naked eye can appreciate the exquisite and stunning details! This is the first time I've seen such a three-dimensional continuous wall sculpture, and it tells a story. I'm really impressed! The ideas and craftsmanship of the ancients can really make us proud! A few things to note: You can take photos inside, but you can't use flash or touch anything! Currently, the last entry time is 4:30 pm (I know because I arrived at 4:15 pm and almost wasn't allowed in). If you like to sleep in, remember to plan ahead! The entrance to the scenic area is also very lively, with villagers selling mountain goods, wild fruits, and local snacks. I even saw some Chinese dates! It brought back childhood memories in an instant. It must have been a snack for many people when they were kids! There are also some natural walnuts, wild kiwis, persimmons, etc. I bought some to try, and they were delicious. A local friend reminded me that some of them are processed in factories, so be sure to tell the difference! Looking forward to seeing more unique photos!

Steal half a day of leisure and quietly hide in a paradise ☀️ 🙃 I regret not discovering this place earlier. I came to Shuilu An 3 times before I discovered this paradise where I can steal half a day of leisure 🌸. Shuilu Lanshan, the gate looks very low-key, but after walking in, I found that it is very big. The yard is full of various flowers 🌺, it's so beautiful, it's really a mess of flowers that are gradually blinding, and it's not enough to see, it's all beautiful! The child keeps exploring in the garden, and it won't be boring all day, as if there is endless fun to explore 😂! Adults sit in the small courtyard, drink tea, read books, and enjoy the comfort of this "half-day leisure"! There is also a vineyard in the garden 🍇, and you can pick it in summer, I really look forward to it! The staff are super enthusiastic, the rooms are clean and tidy, and every design reflects the shop's thoughtfulness. The breakfast is surprisingly rich 🤭 and particularly fresh. Some dishes were in the ground a minute ago, and they were on the table a minute later. They are pure natural and pollution-free 😊. The children eat very fragrant. When I left the store the next day, the child was still reluctant, and he was still clamoring to stay for another day 😂, which shows how much he likes it here! I made an appointment with my child, and when the grapes are ripe, we will come again ❤️!
