On April 13th, “Millions of Wonders, Courtesy All the Way” – the self-driving carnival of millions of owners of Wonders officially kicked off in Xi’an. At 8 o’clock in the morning, Qijun led the riders to gather and set off for the first stop of this event, the “No. 1 Warehouse in the World” with a history of 100 years–Fengtu Yi Warehouse in Dali County. Starting from the ancient city of Xi’an, go east along the Lianhuo Expressway. On the bank of the surging Yellow River, Huashan, Fengtu Yicang, Tongguan Shili Gallery and other natural and cultural landscapes that we are familiar with have been waiting for us on the left bank of the Yellow River for a long time.
The convoy assembled from Xi’an and went to Chaoyi Town, Dali County. At noon, they tasted “Nine Grades and Thirteen Flowers”, one of the famous banquets in Shaanxi, and then visited Fengtu Yicang. In the afternoon, head to Huayin City. Hold an event at the Huashan self-driving campsite, appreciate the Huayin old tune, and stay at the Huashan self-driving campsite that night.
Although this trip is aimed at the topic of the Yellow River, our first stop is in Dali County. The gathering here is more like a ceremonial meeting. It is said that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Therefore, we use this place as the starting point for exploring along the Yellow Sightseeing Road.
Nine Grades and Thirteen Flowers is a must-have banquet dish in Dali County, Shaanxi Province, with a history of more than 600 years. In September 2018, it was rated as one of the top ten theme banquets in Shaanxi of “Chinese Cuisine”. “Nine grades and thirteen flowers” is very particular, nine refreshments, thirteen cold dishes, and thirteen hot dishes are served in turn, with complicated patterns and complete categories.
Fengtu Yicang is a granary built more than 100 years ago. It is known as “the first warehouse in the world”. It is also the prototype of the TV series “The Granary of the World”. Ancient granary. As time goes by, vicissitudes of life have changed dramatically. From its completion in 1885 to 2019, Fengtu Yicang has gone through more than 100 years of ups and downs and the test of war, and it is still well preserved. It will store grain for the people and pass on the security role of stabilizing one side from generation to generation.
The convoy left Fengtu Yicang and headed for Huayin along Huangguan Road. Walking along the Yellow Sightseeing Road, countless delicacies and beautiful scenery are connected in series by the road. During the driving, the artistic conception comes naturally. Here, there are so many kilometers of sightseeing roads along the Yellow River, which are built straight in this wetland. From the perspective of aerial photography, it looks like a river embankment drawn with a ruler. Dali is also a county that attaches great importance to sports and fitness. There will always be a one-to-two-meter-wide bicycle lane along the tourist road. Friends who like it may wish to come here to experience the “4+2” travel method.
Yanhuang Sightseeing Road is a road along the west bank of the Yellow River connecting 4 cities and 13 counties in Shaanxi Province. It is a truly golden self-driving road with a high-value appearance. The total length is more than 800 kilometers. It starts from Fugu County in Yulin City in the north and ends in Huashan in Weinan City in the south. underfoot.
Just arrived at the Huashan self-driving campsite, Nissan has prepared a visual feast for all riders—the performance of Huayin Laoqiang. In addition to the beautiful scenery of Mount Hua, there is the well-known Huayin old tune performance. Huayin Laoqiang originated from the family drama of the Zhangjiahu family in Huayin, Shaanxi. It sounds quite related to the Western Han Dynasty singing about the great river going east. This kind of performance is also known as the “earliest rock and roll” on the loess high slope.
Since the art form of Laoqiang was processed and put on the “Spring Festival Gala”, more and more people came to Huayin. In addition to climbing Huashan, they also wanted to listen to a live version of “Guanzhong Ancient Songs”: Nuwa Empress God, there is a piece of stone left to form Huashan Mountain. Birds fly with the sun behind their backs, from east bank to west bank. It was dark and it was dawn. People fall asleep and wake up again. The Taishang Laojun plowed the land, and hooked canals formed the Yellow River… From the most authentic and oldest Chinese rock music, the close relationship between Huashan and the Yellow River can be found all the time.
The widest area of Qinchuan in eight hundred miles is the plain alluvial by the Weihe River at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and this fertile land contains the most wonderful intersection of the great rivers and mountains in the motherland-the dialogue between the Qinling Mountains and the Yellow River! In a large-scale In the first episode of the historical documentary “Chinese Civilization”, “Dawn of the First Light”, it tells the legend that the tribes of the Chinese leaders Huangdi and Yandi originated from the Weishui River Basin in western China. The possibility of associating the word “Hua” in one’s own name with “Huaxia”. Therefore, in addition to the well-known natural scenery “the most dangerous mountain”, the image of Huashan has added a more profound cultural symbol. Some scholars believe that the 500-kilometer area centered on Huashan Mountain is the core area that gave birth to the Chinese nation, and the surging Yellow River is undoubtedly the representative of the endless rhythm in this area. The team stayed at the Huashan self-driving tour camp.
In the Huashan self-driving tour camp, Qijun also invited outdoor experts to explain outdoor knowledge to everyone. Through the ingenious explanation, everyone present can experience the full wildness.
At night, Dongfeng Nissan prepared a bonfire party for us. Accompanied by the raging bonfire, everyone sang and danced, drinking and talking happily, marking a successful end to the first day’s itinerary.
In the early morning, 20 X-Trails were arranged to form the characters of 1 million. It is very spectacular to overlook from a high altitude.
In the early morning of the next day, the fresh mountain breeze blew, and the brigade assembled again to go to the charming “Ten Mile Gallery” Jinyangou. Ever since I heard the word “Yuedu Xiangwang” in Tongguan, I immediately searched for its meaning on my mobile phone, and found that this catchy four-character word is actually not an idiom. Yue is the famous mountain, and the holy water is the holy water. In the traditional saying, “five mountains and four sacred waters” refer to Mount Tai, Huashan, Hengshan, Hengshan, Songshan and the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Huai River, and Ji River. It is very rare for the mountains of the Five Sacred Mountains and the water of the Sidu to meet, but it has been done in Tongguan. The Yellow River flows out of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge, jumps over the Dragon Gate of the Carp, and goes straight to Huashan Mountain and Tongguan, forming the only wonderland and beautiful fairyland on the land of China.
Someone once proudly said: “Even on the simplest map of China, as long as the Yellow River is drawn, I can find our city at a glance, because the biggest bend of the Yellow River is here, and the Yellow River has always been there. Heading east toward the sea.” The city the man mentioned was the famous Tongguan—this city is a famous pass, and this pass is a famous city.
Tongguan Shili Gallery is located on the plateau of Tongguan, with a plank road that is more than ten kilometers long, running through mountains, rivers, Guguan ruins and cultural landscapes. Guan, Chujingguan to the ancient city.
On the day of roaming in Tongguan, we first came to Shili Gallery, a ten-kilometer-long plank road that runs through mountains, rivers, Guguan ruins and cultural landscapes. Its starting point can be considered to be in Yuedu Park. Jingou Pass, Chujing Pass and the ancient city. Walking slowly in the ten-mile gallery, you can see: Xiongguan ancient road (war flames, anti-Japanese war ruins, city wall ruins, north-south water pass, south gate ruins, beacon tower ruins); you can enjoy: Tongguan Eight Scenery (Xiongguan Huju, Jingou Longqiu, Qinling Cloud Screen, Zhongtiao Snow Case, Fengling Xiaodu, Yellow River Spring Rise, Qiaolou Evening Photo, Taoist Bell); you can taste: celebrity relics (broken mirror reunion, Yang Zhenhuai city, four knowledges rejecting gold, poetry stele forest); you can visit: ancient city and ancient Villages (Yang Su Tomb Site, Shierlian City Site, Bangou Terrace, Chujing Pass, Qin Chidao, Han and Tang City, Shanhe Yilan Building, etc.).
The Yellow River fish is famous all over the world. After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Qinling Mountains, Nissan has prepared for car enthusiasts the opportunity to taste the famous Yellow River fish feast while sailing. Yellow River Catfish Soup Yellow River catfish is well-known in Qin, Jin and Henan. The best way is to stew the soup; the catfish soup was born at the Yellow River Ferry in the old Tongguan. Famous food.
Being in the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, surrounded by the lingering rhyme of old tunes, what you can see in the first storehouse in the world, what you can see with nine grades and thirteen flowers. Along the way with Nissan, we not only appreciate the beauty of Shili Gallery, but also taste the freshness of Yellow River fish. On the bank of the Yellow River in Tongguan, accompanied by the laughter of the car enthusiasts, this “Millions of Wonderful Horses, Courtesy All the Way” – the self-driving tour of the Million Horse Owners Carnival also came to a successful conclusion.
