2025 Yan'an Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Visit Xi'an between June and August, but skip the crowded Terracotta Warriors and Tang Paradise. Instead, explore the surrounding Northern Shaanxi region, which boasts unique natural landscapes like Danxia landforms, waterfalls, and canyons. It's less crowded, more beautiful, and offers great value for money. 🚖 4-Day, 3-Night Recommended Itinerary: Day 1: Arrival in Xi'an from various locations Day 2: Xi'an - Jingwei Scenic Overlook - Hukou Waterfall - Overnight in Yan'an Day 3: Yan'an - Wave Valley - Liu Siye Character Photography - Northern Shaanxi Intangible Cultural Heritage Storytelling - Overnight in Yan'an Day 4: Yan'an - Yucha Grand Canyon - Departure from Xi'an Recommended Attractions: Wave Valley (Located in Jingbian County, Shaanxi Province) A real-life "Earth's Color Palette"! The entire canyon is covered in reddish sandstone, with patterns resembling waves stirred by strong winds. Touching the rocks feels warm and magical! Hukou Waterfall (Located at the border of Yichuan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, and Jixian County, Linfen, Shanxi Province) If you're lucky, you might see a rainbow over the waterfall. The mist on your face is both refreshing and awe-inspiring. Standing here, you'll truly understand the phrase "Yellow River water comes from heaven!" Yucha Grand Canyon (Located in Yucha Village, Ganquan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province) The canyon is narrow, with only a sliver of sky visible overhead. Sunlight streams through the gaps above, painting golden lines on the rock walls, complemented by green moss—a true "underground light and shadow art gallery"! About Group Tours: ✅ Small group tours with a maximum of 6 people, no shopping stops ✅ High-standard 4-star accommodations throughout ✅ Includes Northern Shaanxi storytelling experience ✅ Complimentary drone aerial photography ✅ Free 24-hour airport pickup service for solo travelers Tips: ✔️ Northern Shaanxi has significant temperature differences between day and night, so even in summer, evenings can be chilly. ✔️ Attractions are relatively remote, and public transportation is inconvenient; self-driving is not recommended. ✔️ Some areas of Wave Valley are not fully developed; avoid entering unopened zones.

#travel #naturalwonders #thingstodo #familytravel #china Yan'an is about 2.5hr train ride from Xi'an. While the city may be famous for being the centre of Sino-Japanese war and Civil war, it is actually home to many beautiful natural landscapes. If you wish to visit areas less touristy, then Yan'an should definitely be on your itinerary! One can book a car or join a 3-day local tour. These tours would cover the Ganquan Grand Canyon, Wave Valley, Qiankun Bay and the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall. Wave Valley is a huge nature park so do bring along water, cap and be prepared to clock steps! 🚶😄

The Yangjialing Revolutionary Site is the former site of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It is located in the northwest of Yan'an City from November 1938 to March 1947. Mao Zedong and other central leaders and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China live here. One old cave dwelling site and an old photograph are in the same place. Telling the hardships of the old revolutionaries here.

Take the high-speed train from Xi'an to Yan'an for two and a half hours, and charter a car for two days. On the first day, go to Nanniwan and Shanxi Hukou Waterfall. On the second day, go to Wave Valley. If you are not very strong, you can take the small loop, but after this turnaround, you must take the large loop. We did not buy a ticket to walk on the glass bridge. It took about three hours to walk through the entire scenic area (large loop), including taking pictures. There are many different landforms in the entire scenic area, just like being on Mars. The recommended attraction is "One Line Sky". The whole road is very narrow, only enough for one person to pass, but you can take beautiful photos. The only drawback is that you can't go back. Another attraction is the rose in the "Time and Space Canyon", which is very photogenic. Return to the city of Yan'an and visit the former site of Lu Xun Academy of Arts and Literature. #打卡好去处

🌈 Liangshan Grottoes is part of the Qingliang Mountain Scenic Area and one of the four major grottoes in northern Shaanxi. What left a deep impression on me about these grottoes on this not-so-tall mountain wasn't just their high artistic value and excellent preservation, but also their fascinating "multiple identities". There are four grottoes in total, with the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave being the largest. Their "multiple identities" refer to the fact that besides being historical and artistic relics, this site also served as revolutionary heritage including the Central Printing Plant, Currency Printing Factory, Clinic, and Xinhua Bookstore. Perhaps it's precisely because of this "identity resume" that the grottoes have been preserved so intact. 🕐 Opening hours: April 1 - October 31: 7:30 AM - 6:30 PM November 1 - March 31: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM 🏝️ The scenic area gate is at the mountain base, while the grottoes are on the mountainside. After entering, it's about a 5-8 minute walk to reach the grottoes. 👍 Key highlights: The Ten Thousand Buddha Cave and the hillside to its west featuring Lupi Cliff, Three-Buddha Cave, and Maitreya Cave; Above the south side of Ten Thousand Buddha Cave is Poetry Bay, displaying over 50 cliff inscriptions by famous scholars through dynasties in various calligraphy styles covering the entire bay. 💗 The mountain isn't high, but some sections are quite steep. It's best to wear anti-slip shoes and watch your step. 🎟 Ticket: 45 yuan (includes Grottoes complex, Moon Well, Fan Zhongyan Temple, Medicine King Temple, Penglai Pavilion, and Glazed Pagoda). 🚎 Bus routes: Take bus lines 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 22, or 28. 🚗 For self-driving: Navigate to "Qingliang Mountain". There's an underground parking garage entrance 20 meters from the ticket office (2 yuan/hour).
