Gannan Trip—Return Journey

On the way back to Xi'an, I planned to include two places as transit stops. First stop: Qingshucun Ancient Town, a town with rich historical culture, known as the place where 'one foot steps into three provinces,' i.e., the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces. It was founded in the mid-Ming Dynasty, took shape in the late Qing Dynasty, and flourished during the Republic of China era, with a history of over 500 years. I have visited many ancient towns, each with its own historical accumulation. Understanding the local history, culture, and humanity, traveling is also a learning process. Second stop: Liuba County. It happened to be the weekend, and there were many tourists. Kudos to the local government for arranging dedicated personnel to provide convenient parking for tourists. The old street, Lover's Valley, and Shizigou Ranch are all recommended places online. I think the most beautiful rural road is still worth seeing in autumn. In the old street, there is a braised beef noodle shop with generous portions and good taste. After a satisfying meal, I embarked on the journey back home.
