What is the ranking of scenic spots in Shaanxi?

Shaanxi scenic spots ranking: Huashan Mountain, Terracotta Warriors, Wild Goose Pagoda, Datang Furong Garden, Huaqing Pool, Huangdi Mausoleum, etc.

The following three scenic spots are especially recommended:

1, Huashan

Huashan is the sacred mountain of the Chinese nation. China's "Hua" originated from Huashan Mountain, so Huashan Mountain is called "the root of China". This achievement was first cited by Sun Yat-sen and founded the Republic of China. According to the research of Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies in the Qing Dynasty, and experts and scholars in previous dynasties, the Chinese nation was originally formed and lived in Huashan Week, and its place is called China. Later, people traveled all over Kyushu, and the names of flowers began to spread widely.

2. Datang Furong Garden.

Datang Furong Garden started construction in 2002 and was completed in 2004. It was officially opened to the public on April 1 1 day, 2005 (the third day of the third lunar month). There are many antique buildings in Tang Furong Garden, such as Ziyun Building, Palace Palace, Apricot Garden, Fanglinyuan, Jiutian Theater and Tang Cheng. It is the largest imitation of the Tang Dynasty royal complex in China, and Zhang Jinqiu, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, is responsible for the overall planning and architectural design.

3. Huangdi Mausoleum.

The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, called "Qiaoling" in ancient times, is a place where emperors and celebrities sacrificed to the Yellow Emperor. The earliest sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor in history began in the third year of Qin Linggong (422 BC), and Qin Linggong "served as an official in Wuyang and devoted himself to the Yellow Emperor". Since the first year of Yuanfeng (1 10 years ago), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally led180,000 troops to offer sacrifices to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, Qiao Shan has been the place where national festivals have been held in past dynasties, and various cultural relics from the Han Dynasty to the present have been preserved.

When is the best time to visit the beautiful northern Shaanxi customs?

If you want to appreciate the beautiful northern Shaanxi customs, you can choose to travel to northern Shaanxi in summer. The tourist attractions in northern Shaanxi are divided into cultural attractions and natural attractions.

The former site of Zaoyuan Revolution in Yan 'an and Luochuan Conference Memorial Hall in Luochuan County are classic red scenic spots worth visiting. These places recorded the spirit of proletarian ancestors fighting for freedom and witnessed important historical conferences that changed history and the world again and again.

Hukou Waterfall, located in Yichuan County, Yan 'an City, is known as the wonders of the Yellow River. It is the only waterfall above the Yellow River and the second largest waterfall in China. In summer, due to the increase of precipitation and the increase of water volume of the Yellow River, Hukou Waterfall is magnificent and flowing down, which is a very magnificent spectacle. In summer, due to the change of the Yellow River water flow, there are three cross flows above Hukou, forming three waterfalls. The falls of waterfalls range from seven meters to twenty meters, and you can enjoy different views of waterfalls with different height differences along the way, so the best tourist season of Hukou Waterfall is summer.

Shenmu Erlang Mountain is located in Shenmu County, Yulin City. It has a strong mythical color. In order to keep out the wind and sand on the plateau, the legendary Erlang God Yangji personally took up two mountains, which were placed in the west and north of Shenmu, which became the later Erlang Mountain of Shenmu. There is a depression in the middle of Erlang Mountain, which divides the whole mountain in two, just like two humps of a camel, so it is also called Hump Mountain. The elevation of Erlang Mountain in Shenmu is more than 1000 meters, which is known as the Little Huashan Mountain in northern Shaanxi and the first peak in northern Shaanxi. There are more than 100 temple buildings on the north and south sides of Erlang Mountain.

Since the nomadic people in the north and south of the desert moved into northern Shaanxi, the original vast environment in northern Shaanxi has changed, and they have to adapt to farming or semi-farming and semi-grazing as soon as possible. After Bao Ningbao and Yanzi Yangko arrived at the designated village according to the established route, during the day, the two teams performed from house to house in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

With the ancient sacrificial culture of Chahan Sulide as the theme and the Mongolian traditional nomadic life as the connotation, it is a golden scenic spot to attract tourists from home and abroad.

Nowadays, with the excessive development of aquaculture and the acceleration of urbanization, the traditional way of life, which focuses on farming, producing grain, fruits and vegetables, and focusing on plant food, has gradually disappeared.

The traditional cave-dwelling ancient villages in the south and the traditional ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River with small bridges and flowing water are constantly being opened up for care, development and tourism. I don't know, there are also unique "collapsed" ancient villages in the northern land and the corpus luteum in northern Shaanxi. In the process of protection, some of them are developed into tourist attractions. In the process of protection, more people call for protection in the development and gradually become a unique landscape on the land of northern Shaanxi.

Cave dwelling is an ancient living form on the Loess Plateau, which can be traced back to more than 4,000 years ago and is a symbol of ancient loess.

Today, let's share the travel strategy of Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province.

Guanzhong lies in the south of Beishan Mountains and the north of Nanshan (Qinling) Mountains. The south of Guanzhong is Weihe alluvial plain and the north is Weibei platform. Fertile land is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Weihe River is regarded as the mother river by Shaanxi people, not only because Weihe River is the largest tributary of the Yellow River; What's more, it takes tens of millions of years to flood a 36,000-square-kilometer plain.
