    I also got to appreciate the stalactites that were 250 to 300 million years old. It was spectacular. There were shuttle buses going back and forth, and transportation was convenient. There was natural air conditioning in the cave, so it was neither too cold nor too hot. There were also free photos. The thing that impressed me the most was the Line of Sky, which could only accommodate one person and was definitely worth seeing.

    Guange Valley is divided into two scenic areas: Guanzhu Valley and E'man Valley. Leigu Mountain is located within Guanzhu Valley. The ticket is valid for two days. On the first day, we visited Guanzhu Valley and took the cable car up Leigu Mountain. On the second day, we visited E'man Valley. Overall, it was a good experience. However, the two scenic areas are 17 kilometers apart, and there is no direct bus. You can only drive or take a taxi.

    The staff greeted us with smiles throughout, answered all our questions, and when we needed extra pillows, they were delivered to our room within minutes. The cleanliness was impeccable; there wasn't a speck of dust in any corner, and the cups and utensils were thoroughly sterilized. This attentive service has already earned me a recommendation to my friends!

    Wenxian Tianchi, located in the mountains and mountains of Weinan City, Gansu Province, is famous for "the vast waves of smoke, the water and the sky are one color", and is one of the four Tianchi in China. Its lake is like a mirror, and the scenery in the four seasons is different: there are hundreds of flowers in spring, the blue waves in summer are like Dai, the red and yellow forest in autumn, and the silver in winter is holy, especially in winter, it is still not frozen, and the clouds and mist are more mysterious. The lake is clear, no leaves are floating all year round, the water birds are mixed, the ecology is excellent, the water depth is 97 meters, the undercurrent is flowing, the lake heart is sparkling, like the "world and earth treasure mirror". The scenic spot integrates natural wonders and humanistic heritage. Legend has formed a lake due to the "fairy fight", and the surrounding white horses interpret the intangible "chi brother day", showing a unique national customs. In addition, the forest is dense and the animal and plant resources are rich. It is a national forest park and wetland park, which can be called an example of ecological tourism. There is a viewing hotel in the scenic spot, located in the center of Tianchi, overlooking the best location of Tianchi, the photo effect is very good, you can take panoramic photos of Tianchi.

    Entering Aoki River, it is like stepping into the paintings of the old times. Here, the ancient charm is leisurely, quiet and safe, and the story of the generation of Xiong Wei Futang is circulating in the streets. I shuttled through Wei's Manor, Yanguan and other places, as if I had an old dream. Behind the prosperity, there was only a sigh. This trip is a struggle with history.

    The Wuhou Temple in Mian County, also known as the Zhuge Temple, is located in Zhuge Ancient Town, Wuhou Town, Mian County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. It is a temple built to commemorate Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is the earliest Wuhou Temple built in China and the only one constructed by imperial decree. It truly deserves the title of "The First Wuhou Temple Under Heaven." I bought a combined ticket to see Ma Chao's tomb, but the "Wuhou Temple Exhibition Hall" was surprisingly impressive and definitely worth checking out. Zhuge Ancient Town is also worth a visit.

    Finally, we reached the center of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, the last stop on our Y-shaped right-hand return route. We arrived at Nuorilang Waterfall, which leads to the food court, but we decided to see the attraction first before having lunch. After all, the winter sunshine is precious, and we wanted to cherish this bright light. Nuorilang Waterfall is Jiuzhaigou's iconic landmark, the widest waterfall, perfectly matching its name's meaning of "magnificent" in Tibetan. The massive flow of water, 270 meters wide and 24.5 meters high, cascades down like countless hada scarves hanging from the mountains and forests. There's a huge viewing platform here, perfect for selfies or taking photos for friends.
